wirexapp.com/blog/post/get-… As DeFi continues to mature, the volume of projects on specific chains as well as in aggregate may decline from high water marks set in 2020 or 2021. Leading players that developed applications we’re familiar with today like Aave or Uniswap continue to consolidate their brand recognition, and have ample war chests that allow them to continue to innovate in their original domains and beyond. As the low hanging fruit of simple DeFi use cases is picked, incentives to try to compete in those domains decline, as existing players become the go-to providers of their respective services. Successful projects will increasingly need to rely on genuinely innovative protocols or services to attract investment and attention, and venture capital resources will have tightened up their investment criteria after having seen dozens or hundreds of similar pitches. The complexity in vision or execution for new DeFi projects may also start to require deeper knowledge of existing products and development practices, further reducing the raw number of projects attempted. The good news is, a reduction in quantity may well be associated with an overall increase in the quality of new DeFi innovations. As crypto markets warn of another down period, we could see another quiet but mighty period of innovative development without much fanfare, not unlike the period that led up to the explosion of DeFi in the first place. Whatever happens, keep your eyes open for the next big thing - the hits keep coming, if you keep looking.
