DeFi and other blockchain verticals (social media, gaming, art, news, etc.) still exist, but they are limited by the current state and access to underlying technology (just as the early web was constrained by underlying technology and access).

Many users' core motivation is to quickly realize rewards, while the long-term holders envisioned by the project team cannot be cultivated solely through point incentives.

Today, the biggest threat facing DeFi is not just market conditions, not just liquidity, and in terms of security, it requires more than just preventing code vulnerabilities, because spies may be lurking nearby.

Replacing traditional finance has never been an option on Wall Street, but rather can be done in a parallel world, where capital, risk, and returns can be reorganized more flexibly in a programmable way.

When complexity is reasonably encapsulated, risks are clearly marked, and responsibility boundaries are sufficiently clear, DeFi can truly return to its original promise: not just serving a small group of professionals, but becoming a financial system that can be widely participated in.
