DeFi is still more like a failed experiment, 80% of DeFi projects are unreliable, they have weak security and they are more hack friendly, they claim to be decentralized but instead they aren't showing any decentralized motives, the only DeFi projects I trust are not up to five and I choose those DeFi projects because they are more than just DeFi like many new DeFi projects so far, I don't care much about where DeFi is headed, I'm just going to keep picking the good eggs out from the bad eggs, hopeful in future DeFi projects will actually become fully decentralized and more secured
I agree that defi has many failed projects, only some of which have been successful so far. Defi can easily be acquired for the first entrants, it invisibly creates greater pressure on trust in the foundation for the long term because the initial benefits are too great.
Of course, all the results of defi are aimed at sovereignty, expansion, but in return, the majority have not shown performance and trust, only pulling carpets and hacking. It is a fact that Defi needs to change and develop regular adjustments to find a solution to balance this great "benefit". I believe in the coming time, Defi will continue to expand in terms of liquidity and develop more.
