In the bull market of 2021, "sexy" meant 10,000% APY and anonymous developers with cartoon avatars.
In the mature market of 2025, "sexy" has a new definition: Uptime.
I judge a protocol not by how high it flies, but by how solid it stands when the earth shakes.
JustLend DAO has never paused. It has never halted withdrawals. It has never asked users to "wait for a patch."
When the market crashes and centralized exchanges "undergo maintenance" to stop you from selling, JustLend remains open. When other chains get clogged and gas fees spike to $200, JustLend remains accessible and cheap.
This reliability is boring to gamblers, but it is incredibly attractive to wealth preservers.
I treat JustLend like a utility company. I expect it to work when I flip the switch, just like I expect water to come out of the tap. And it does. Every single time.
In a crypto industry full of broken promises and beta software, a protocol that simply does what it says it will do is the most valuable asset of all.
Don't chase the hype. Chase the uptime.
