Weekly Commentary

Pro

Week of March 3, 2026

Arrakis Modular sits in the Dead Money quadrant for good reason: a B- risk grade signals solid protocol security, but the D value score means token holders see almost none of that $73M in TVL translating into meaningful value capture. You're paying for a well-built vault management layer that gives its economics away — safe to use, poor to own.
