Put it to work
Best rate on BUIDL from a protocol we would defend: over $100M TVL and more than a year live. Currently blackrock-buidl · Ethereum.
The tradeoff: smart-contract risk on top of issuer risk, and the rate can move any block.

Safety score 74 vs 96 — the yield is compensation for that gap.
