DeFi Begins Recovery As TVL Exceeds $45 Billion

The bear cycle caused a lot of downturns in many sectors of the We3 industry including DeFi. However, following the ongoing so-called ‘mini bull run,’ we’ve seen DeFi TVL start to recover from the lower lows and surge by nearly 20% since the beginning of the year.

According to data from DeFiLlama, DeFi TVL has exceeded $45 billion — its highest point in the past two months. Major DeFi protocols such as Lido Finance and MakerDAO played a significant role in the DeFi TVL rise. Lido has amassed double-digit gains over the past week, adding $8.4 billion to the DeFi ecosystem since its lower low late last year.

MakerDAO co-founder: DeFi front-end may need a license to operate in Europe

Rune Christensen, co-founder of MakerDAO, has warned that the EU's specific interpretation of the MiCA regulations could lead to a disruption of DeFi development. Christensen stated that there are reports that financial regulatory authorities in Europe may require every DeFi frontend in the region to register and operate under a license. He is concerned about the potential impact of this decision and stated that "it would make DeFi frontends based on regular internet domain names unfeasible." Additionally, Christensen explained in detail that only decentralized or locally downloaded frontends can operate, as well as those that adopt KYC measures and procedures.

Governance is dead, long live TOKENS

A popular trend kicked off by the Compound Protocol in the Spring of 2020 was governance tokens for DeFi protocols. The dream of governance tokens was a beautiful ideal. Simply by using a protocol, you would automatically and freely receive ownership of it. Decision making around the protocol would be decentralized allowing thousands and ultimately millions to have their say and vote on changes to the protocol.

POINTS² : web3’s attempt to lure LPs

POINTS² : web3’s attempt to lure LPs by gamifying protocol airdrops with referrals and ‘play to earn’ logic How DeFi becomes a playground for point hunters who seek to amplify their protocol airdrops by signing up their friends and family to earn ‘points squared’. DeFi represents a transformative shift moving away from Banks as we know them toward a less centralized model: peer-to-peer finance — where everyone can participate at any time.

Proposal: The L1do Blockchain

Quick google search lido has over 100,000 users. Notably, these are sticky POWER Users. Why send those users to do defi on other chains? These are the key opinion leaders in all of crypto. There is no other application that has this many sticky Power Users. Why wouldn’t you want to have a perfect reflexivity, zero leakage to incentivize them to keep their stETH in Lido’s execution environment. Notably, Coinbase and OKX have launched their own L2’s and Binance has BNB chain. The users are already there, the funds are already there and thereby very little friction to onboard those users to Web3 from their exchange. Same applies to Lido chain, but it is OG web3 native.
