Dare to Defi? What’s the Return on Investment?
summary
DeFi claims roughly $9 billion locked and shows real traction via automated market makers (Uniswap, Curve) and synthetics (UMA), with an anecdote that Uniswap 24‑hour volume exceeded Coinbase. Core tech is permissionless smart contracts and DAOs; core tools are AMMs, cross‑chain AMMs (Roon type), and decentralized insurance like Nexus Mutual — currently covering <0.5% insured of TVL. Main risks: fast launches without audits, circular liquidity, and regulatory pressure that pushes front‑ends to be the regulated on‑ramps.
