Quick Take
- The most popular DeFi protocols to date have offered the “simplest” financial primitives. E.g. a stable medium-of-exchange, lending, trading.
- Many ideas on Ethereum have been ported over to other chains — arguably improved by higher scalability — but often there’s been little innovation in protocol mechanics.
- New protocols building on existing infrastructure components is where the more interesting innovation in DeFi is happening.
