Good evening 🧢 Most users don’t fully understand what their collateral is doing anymore. And honestly, modern DeFi made that harder to track. The same asset can now simultaneously: earn yield, support borrowing,route liquidity, collect incentives,and influence exposure across multiple positions. Which means collateral increasingly behaves less like “stored value” and more like an active financial component inside a larger system. Protocols like @Dolomite_io make this shift more visible because capital doesn’t necessarily sit idle after deposit. The interesting part? A lot of users still think they’re holding assets passively while the protocol architecture is already treating those balances as productive infrastructure underneath. That gap in understanding is probably larger than people realize.
