The coordination challenge in Bitcoin DeFi is bigger than most realize.
Right now, Bitcoin's DeFi ecosystem operates in isolated silos. You've got different protocol standards, multiple wrapper solutions, and fragmented environments—each working independently but struggling to communicate effectively with the rest of the ecosystem.
This lack of interoperability creates friction. Projects build in parallel lanes instead of a connected network. Standards don't align, liquidity fragments, and developers waste cycles solving the same problems separately.
The real breakthrough doesn't come from more protocols. It comes from solving the coordination problem—making Bitcoin DeFi components actually talk to each other smoothly. That's where the infrastructure gap truly lies.

To be honest, I've seen the Bitcoin DeFi island problem coming a long time ago, but no one is listening [laugh-cry]
Each doing their own thing is really a waste of life. Instead of competing over protocols, it's better to first focus on compatibility.

Isn't this the old problem of BTC DeFi? Incompatibility and operating independently, with liquidity dispersed to death.

ngl the silo problem is basically a game theory failure waiting to happen. we've seen this movie before with early ethereum fragmentation tbh

NGL, Bitcoin DeFi right now is just a bunch of isolated islands working independently, which is really frustrating.

Bitcoin DeFi is now just a bunch of independent tribes, each not really understanding what the others are doing... This coordination problem has been seriously underestimated, to be honest.
