The doors were shut. The air was thick with tension. The room? A high-stakes gathering of the most powerful bankers in America was called into an emergency meeting by then-Fed Chair Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. The message was clear: The global financial system was on the brink of collapse. Banks were failing left and right. Lehman Brothers had just gone under. Credit markets had frozen. No one knew who would be next. The word "liquidity" was suddenly on everyone’s lips—b...

1. Introduction: The Paradox of PanicIn September 2008, customers lined up outside Washington Mutual branches, desperate to withdraw their savings. Rumors of the bank’s insolvency spread rapidly, fueled by news headlines and nervous chatter. By the end of the month, the bank collapsed—the most significant failure in U.S. banking history.

However, there is one area where we have yet to see meaningful diversification: leveraged liquidity. Today, most DeFi protocols operate with a single mechanism: liquidation. The Fedz, however, introduces an alternative that draws inspiration from traditional finance: the decentralized bailout. This shift can redefine how we think about risk, resilience, and growth in DeFi.The One...
