A Lookback into DeFi Summer + ATH Cycles
Year of 2021
- Emergence of @Uniswap @MakerDAO and @aave
- Compound's $COMP farming
- Bunch of OHM forks introducing protocol-owned liquidity
- Rise of auto-compounding protocols like @beefyfinance
- Debut of BNB Chain + @PancakeSwap with absurd $CAKE staking ponzinomics + NFTs
Year of 2024-2025
- Synthetic stablecoins like @ethena_labs and @FalconStable doing CeDeFi / on-chain strategies
- @pendle_fi being the benemoth that created the secondary yield trading market
- Lending markets taking yield-bearing tokens + Pendle's PTs as collateral that push the holy trinity of yield legos
- Definitely the rise of perp dex wars with @HyperliquidX being the king
- BTC wrapper staking summer with counterparts like @Lombard_Finance @SolvProtocol etc. bringing decent TVLs to EVM chains
What else is shinchan missing? And what else you looking forward to for DeFi 3.0?
