Before in DeFi, most of us were forced into the same level of risk.
You deposit into a vault, you receive the exact risk/reward of that strategy.
Everyone shares the same position.
Tranching is changing this by separating yield strategies into different risk layers:
> Senior: prioritized repayment, lower risk, more stable yield
> Junior: takes first-loss, in exchange for higher yield and greater upside
Same yield, but now each person can choose the risk appetite that fits them.
Projects making this sector clear:
Tranching-as-a-Service: sitting on top of existing vaults/yield

Tranching-as-a-Product: running their own strategy + splitting into tranches

This is the first time DeFi truly allows risk/reward allocation instead of forcing everyone into the same position, exactly like traditional CLOs have done for a long time.
