Not all stablecoins are equally stable. Before you hold or lend one, know which of the 3 types it is and how it can break 🧵
What you actually pay in gas on Ethereum:
1. Gas = units of computation
2. Fee = gas used × (base fee + tip)
3. Base fee is burned; the tip goes to the validator
4. Plain ETH transfer = 21,000 gas
5. 21,000 × (10 + 2 gwei) = 0.000252 ETH
6. Tx fails onchain? You still pay gas
Many DeFi losses for beginners aren't fancy hacks. They're avoidable wallet mistakes. Here's the security checklist I'd give my younger self 🧵

Providing liquidity ≠ free yield. Impermanent loss vs just holding (Uniswap v2 math, before fees):
1.25x price move → -0.6%
1.5x → -2.0%
2x → -5.7%
3x → -13.4%
5x → -25.5%
Same loss if price halves. Fees may or may not cover it.
