Exactly, because of a lot of hypes surrounding DeFi projects now, a lot of both non- DeFi projects are suddenly turning to one. Numerous airdrops are now flying around now and 90% of them claimed to be DeFis. We need to be more careful, fraudsters use any slight opportunity at their disposal.
We must avoid assessments like this. If you understand the crypto world, then I suggest you analyze their reasons for using defi. If the reasons they give are not clear and just making it up, then you can judge that the project only follows the hype to get money fast.
