PS2: Hive is not a DeFi protocol, but we can improve/better align investor incentives
->This is sounding better to me after some thought.
Regarding to your post; one can currently really get this kind of an APR from providing liquidity? * running over to defi *
Yep, it's prob. not sustainable to get 500% APR or even 100% over a long period of time, but it depends on the risk-factor. And I'd argue that locking up HIVE for 13 weeks is a risk factor as well.
