Capital Efficiency Gains

Definition

Capital efficiency gains represent improvements in how effectively financial resources are utilized to generate returns or achieve objectives. In the context of digital assets and decentralized finance (DeFi), these gains often result from innovative protocol designs that reduce collateral requirements, minimize transaction costs, or accelerate settlement times. Such improvements allow a smaller amount of locked capital to support a larger volume of economic activity. This optimization directly contributes to higher returns on investment and broader market participation.
