The design logic of pool projects like Wlfi indeed appears somewhat unfamiliar and complex. From the perspective of ordinary investors, this kind of abstract mechanism design is not very user-friendly. However, looking at it from another angle, this relatively complex model might actually be more easily accepted by American institutions and professional players. Sometimes, market preferences are just like that — the more specialized, the easier to gain recognition.

Well... basically, retail investors are being exploited like leeks. Do you really have to make it so complicated to seem sophisticated?

Complexity stacking as a cover, retail investors have long seen through it.

To be honest, it's complicated, but this set of logic definitely has a high threshold. Retail investors simply can't understand it.
However, institutions love this vibe. The more incomprehensible it seems, the more it appears sophisticated.
Ordinary people being kept out is like rolling out the red carpet for professional players.

nah, complexity ≠ institutional appeal tbh... seen too many "sophisticated" designs blow up spectacularly. remember curve's initial tokenomics? looked pro on paper, liquidity fragmentation killed it anyway. the real tell is whether routing actually optimizes slippage or if it's just obfuscation theater masking counter-party risk.

Basically, it's just a scheme to trap retail investors. American institutional professional players? Ha, they're all just a front.

Stacking complexity as a selling point for professionalism is quite ironic.

The higher the complexity, the more professional it appears, but the excuse for big players to harvest retail investors also becomes more convincing.

To be honest, this design is intentionally designed to block regular retail investors, while institutions get to feast alone.
