DeFi

I feel like there are only two primitives here, everything else is just a combination of primitives:

swap -> swap
option -> option
loan -> swap + option
leverage -> loan + swap, repeat
vault -> loan to a smart contract
stable -> unit of account
cdp -> loan + stable
perp -> under collateralized loan

okay hear me out. grand unification theory for financial primitives - everything is a swap, priced in multiple dimensions

loan -> swap over price and time
options -> swap over time, price and vol
leverage -> swap loans for more loans
vaults, cdps, stables -> synthetic iou swaps
perp -> very high lev loans
