Structured products and their role in DeFi
Structured products use a combination of different interest rate productsoptions and other financial instruments to build investments that can be tailored to different risk profiles, market expectations and asset classes.
With the advent of Derivatives in the cryptocurrency market, structured products are a natural evolution for the industry. These products have grown in popularity (over $7 billion in TradFi) and have recently taken center stage in the evolution of DeFi.
The challenges of creating structured products in DeFi
Today, many of the parameters available in different derivative instruments are static in nature, something established by the protocol developers. This leaves investors with no choice but to use them as is or look for another alternative, there are no middle ground.
Additionally, most protocols offering these instruments experience fragmented liquidity as a result of having multiple expiration dates and still using models (conservation functions) that cause high slippage or significant changes in discount rates if large volumes are invested.

Struct Finance further expands the variety of structured on-chain products by giving users a way to customize your interest rate instruments and compose them with other options available in the DeFi ecosystem. Thanks to Struct Finance, it is possible to create superior financial products.
The platform expands the number of investment options available, enabling different levels of protection and taking complex pricing and risk management away from its users, while providing highly competitive returns.
