1-4% annual stdev is the trade Vitalik is asking users to price: give up accounting-stablecoin precision to avoid the liquidation/oracle cliff that wrecks CDP synthetics under stress. The primitive rhymes with Seer-style scalar markets and Panoptic’s Uni v3 options framing, where the hard problem becomes who warehouses gamma and how rolls clear without donating edge to MEV. If rebalancing turns into a predictable onchain schedule, the oracle attack just comes back as toxic flow.
