The conflict in the Middle East escalates as Iran retaliates after US and Israeli airstrikes, oil prices surge, while BTC makes a V-shaped rebound back to around 68k-69k, leaving everyone anxiously looking for predictable and stable returns.
Last night, I didn’t follow the trend to chase hot topics; instead, I completed the entire process of TermMax's new user cold start from beginning to end, which allowed me to truly understand what their mechanism is screening for.
This is not a random token launch where everyone can fairly score; rather, it quietly selects reliable players who can be trusted with real money over the long term.
The rules are clearly written: deposit USDC or USDT into the vault to earn floating interest from Venus Flux, and you can also stack 120x XP; then, by making a single option trade of ≥ $10 or Dual Investment of ≥ $100, you will receive additional AP rewards, which will basically be credited the next day.
But the real cost has never been money. The first level screens for discipline—select the right chain, avoid giving permissions carelessly, and don’t cut corners on authorization. In the world of fixed-rate lending, these small matters directly determine whether you can understand the word predictable.
The second level screens for patience. XP and AP don’t jump instantly; when the page refreshes without any movement for a long time, it’s easy to feel anxious. I’ve been there; later I realized that protocols dealing with interest rate structures shouldn’t be treated like a flash sale; they need people who can stay calm.
Looking at the product line from fixed rate to no liquidation options, RWA collateral, and then to the integration of stablecoin yields, it’s evident that it’s moving towards professional on-chain capital planning. This route cannot be sustained by momentary traffic; it requires people who are willing to interact seriously and understand the long term.
A higher threshold may indeed block some newcomers, but this selection itself is the toughest risk control. During such chaotic market times, seeing a protocol that seriously focuses on predictable yield gives me a sense of security.
When a protocol starts requiring you to have discipline, patience, and to play seriously over time, do you find it bothersome, or do you feel like finally there’s something reliable?
Cold start is not meant to join the chaos; it is the first gate prepared for those who truly want to play the long game. Are you willing to walk in?
