Extremely high rates may be unsustainable or risky. Platforms that adjust rates based on supply and demand can offer stable returns over time, especially for stablecoins or major tokens. Understanding withdrawal terms, lock-in periods, and payout schedules is also crucial for managing liquidity and avoiding surprises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Custody\"><\/span><b>2.

Centralized platforms hold assets on behalf of users, which simplifies access but requires trust in the platform. Decentralized platforms allow users to retain control, reducing counterparty risk but introducing smart contract and technical risks. Users must assess their comfort level with self-custody versus relying on a platform for security.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Reputation\"><\/span><b>3.
