#MarshlandXplained — Waterfall DeFi
Waterfall DeFi is the first proper risk diversification DeFi protocol that enables users to carefully optimize their yield farming strategy by investing in different “tranches” of a yield product portfolio.
Waterfall DeFi
Waterfall aims to give their users the ability to easily choose their investments on the trade-off between risk versus yield, product by product.
The Waterfall DeFi platform slices a portfolio of DeFi assets into different risk-adjusted return tranches. These tranches would enable both risk-averse and high risk-tolerance investors to generate expected returns from the same set of DeFi assets. Each tranche is classified based on its seniority and has unique expected yields, risk and maturity.
The key advantages of Waterfall DeFi tranches are:
1. Diversification: Users will be able to invest in a portfolio of various DeFi assets instead of just one asset, ensuring risk and reward diversification.
2. Leveraged Yield: Users that have higher risk tolerance will be able to earn a leveraged return on their existing investment strategies, such as providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges.
3. Fixed-APR products: More risk-averse users can choose safe fixed-yield APR options.

DeFi TVL just hit a record $157B and with the pace that this number is growing, it doesn’t look like interest will slow down anytime soon.
The Waterfall core team consists of professionals with years of experience in both traditional finance and the crypto-space, thus bringing expertise in the world of DeFi and wisdom from traditional institutional markets.
This is something that we at Marshland deeply value and can relate to.
