DeFi protocols promised a revolution, right? But here we are, watching TVL stagger around $40B. Remember when everyone was sure it was gonna hit $100B by now? And with Lido's latest hiccup, is staking still the golden child? And wtf is going on with these gas fees? ETH2 was supposed to fix this. Maybe I’m missing something, or maybe it’s just growing pains, like @cryptodad_eth said in his thread yesterday. But then again, why are so many devs jumping ship to Solana? Maybe it’s all noise. Or maybe the real revolution is yet to come. Just maybe.
