[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ NOUN ]
A forecasted term for a DeFi protocol advertising an impressive-looking yield rate that's actually funded by unsustainable token emissions or new depositor inflows rather than any genuine underlying revenue, dressed up to look like real return.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"That 400% APY is pure yield cosplay, it's just new deposits paying off old ones, not real revenue."
LORE & ORIGIN
A predictive term using 'cosplay' to describe a yield performing the appearance of sustainability without the substance, anticipating a name for the practice of marketing engineered numbers as if they were organic returns.
