Inspiration

The permissionless nature of DeFi enables all segments of investors to participate in DeFi. However, the risk appetite, goals, and aspirations of these investors vary widely, and hence, the product that appeals to these segments would be equally diverse.

Segment	Type	Opportunity Size	Risk Tolerance
Crypto Natives	Retail	Small	Medium - High
Crypto Retail (Custodial-users)	Retail	Large	Medium - High
Crypto Funds for HNI’s & FOs	Professional	V. Large	Low - Medium
Institutional Crypto Funds	Professional	V. Large	Low - Medium
Corporate Treasuries	Institutional	Medium	Low
Hedge Funds	Institutional	Medium	High

It is critical to note that different segments have different goals and aspirations with their investment. Serving investors of various risk profiles is not possible for a single application. Hence, Rivera is building the Lego blocks to be the infrastructure layer that enables anyone to build & launch structured products in DeFi.
