personally, i feel DeFi is broken for 90% of users and nobody wants to say it.
the promise was financial access for everyone. the reality is a system that rewards those who already understand it and punishes those learning.
gas fees spike exactly when beginners want to try things. smart contract exploits drain protocols that passed audits. impermanent loss erases yields that looked attractive on the surface. bridges get hacked. tokens get rugged. and the documentation for most protocols reads like it was written by engineers for other engineers.
uniswap is genuinely remarkable infrastructure. aave changed how collateralized lending works. but the onboarding experience for a first-time user is still closer to 2010 linux than 2024 iphone.
the protocols that win the next decade won't have better yields. they'll have better ux. the gap between defi's ceiling and its current floor is almost entirely a design problem.
