DeFi protocols promised a revolution, but is it just me or are we in the waiting room? Aave's latest update barely made a ripple, and Compound's TVL hasn’t seen a real surge. Meanwhile, everyone's buzzing about that Solana rally, but what about the ETH staking craze? Feel like I’m watching a sci-fi movie where the hero’s still figuring out the time machine. Saw a tweet saying “DeFi is just a longer game than we expected,” but how long is long? Did anyone see the mess with that rug pull last week? Makes me wonder if the real innovation is gonna be in security. Or maybe I’m just too deep in the FOMO swamp. Wonder what the next chapter holds...
