# Vision and Mission

## Busting the Negative Myths of DeFi:

In the vast expanse of DeFi, many users are gripped by the fear that they're stepping into a realm dominated by professional hackers, where they stand defenseless. This fear is amplified by the notion that DeFi, being unregulated, offers no protection against potential attacks. Such perceptions are further fueled by isolated incidents of hacks and the mainstream media's portrayal of DeFi as a risky venture.

However, at LazyOtter, we challenge these misconceptions. We believe that the apprehension many users feel isn't necessarily due to the inherent risks of DeFi, but rather the lack of effective tools and knowledge available to them.

We want to demonstrate that:

1. _**DeFi is not inherently unsafe:**_ \
   While there have been incidents of hacks, it's essential to understand that with the right strategies and tools, these risks can be significantly mitigated. DeFi, in its essence, holds the promise of a secure financial future if navigated correctly.
2. _**Users can protect themselves:**_ \
   Many users, especially those without a technical background, feel they're at a disadvantage because they can't code or develop protective bots. We're here to level the playing field. With LazyOtter's suite of tools and resources, every user, regardless of their technical prowess, can confidently invest in DeFi.
3. _**A supportive community is available:**_ \
   Beyond just tools, LazyOtter is building a community where users can seek advice, share experiences, and learn. We believe that together, we can change the narrative and make DeFi a space where everyone feels safe and supported.



## Empowering Users: Simplifying and Democratizing DeFi Risk Management:

Navigating the DeFi landscape can indeed be complex and demanding, particularly for those new to the space or lacking a technical background. Understanding this, we've pinpointed and are addressing key pain points that users often encounter:

1. _**Limited understanding of DeFi risks:**_ \
   Many users, especially those fresh to the scene or from non-technical backgrounds, find navigating the intricate DeFi protocols challenging due to a lack of technical expertise and the time required for comprehensive research. LazyOtter addresses this by providing comprehensive Risk Evaluations. These evaluations are not just technical breakdowns but are designed to be accessible and understandable for all. We aim to empower every user, irrespective of their background, with the knowledge to make informed decisions and elevate their risk awareness in the DeFi space.
2. _**Inability to effectively mitigate risks:**_ \
   A basic understanding of risks isn't enough if users don't have the tools to act on that knowledge. While many platforms might alert users to potential threats, LazyOtter goes a step further. With our Risk Monitoring feature, we don't just notify; we actively monitor both on-chain and off-chain activities, ensuring users are always in the know. And in the face of imminent threats, our Emergency Withdrawal system takes proactive measures to safeguard assets, acting faster than any manual intervention could.
3. _**Tedious manual management of investments:**_ \
   The often cumbersome task of manually harvesting and redepositing rewards for auto-compounding can be both time-consuming and frustrating, deterring many potential DeFi participants. LazyOtter's automated strategies streamline these processes, allowing users to focus on maximizing their investments while enjoying a simplified, hassle-free DeFi experience.

## Our Vision:

> ### **"**&#x42;ecome the go-to platform for the non-technical users who wants to use DeFi safel&#x79;**."**

At LazyOtter, our mission is to make DeFi not only accessible but also secure for users of all backgrounds. In a vast DeFi landscape where many feel vulnerable, we stand as a beacon of safety and trust. We aim to simplify risk management, foster a supportive community, and empower every individual to confidently navigate and invest in DeFi.&#x20;

Beyond just accessibility, we envision a world where every user, irrespective of their technical expertise, feels protected and can harness the true potential of DeFi without the looming shadow of threats.&#x20;

With LazyOtter by their side, the narrative shifts from DeFi being a hacker's playground to a realm where every user has a vigilant guardian watching over them."
