Striking a balance is always tough. In credit markets there will always be different preferences for risk, reward, assets, rates, duration, collateral exposure, LTVs, oracle choices, and more.
Different markets on Euler are isolated by design. The majority remain unaffected by the recent insolvency announcement from Stream, including DAO-curated markets such as Euler Prime and Euler Yield.
If DeFi is to form the foundation of the future of finance, it needs modular credit-market infrastructure that allows people to express diverse views on risk and return.
The Euler protocol provides non-custodial, permissionless infrastructure where independent curators can do exactly that, creating risk-isolated markets tailored to different user demands.
Even in a simple collateral–debt pair, small parameter changes can shift risk and reward outcomes significantly. There are only trade-offs in building a market.
Modular systems don’t promise to prevent risks, but they do help contain them.
I see platforms like euler or morpho as infra providers who use their own infra.
But they should not have their brand's risk management be associated to other risk management practices.
