If you're new to DeFi, here's how I actually think about Velvet Capital—not as a complicated protocol, but as a sandbox for learning DeFAI without overthinking it.

My approach? Start stupid simple. Swap a tiny amount first. I'm talking small enough that you barely notice it hit your wallet. Why? Because you're not really after the returns at this stage. You're training your instincts.

Once you get the basic feel for how it moves, you can layer in more complexity. But rushing into big positions before you understand the mechanics? That's where most people stumble. The small capital approach lets you fail cheap and learn faster.
