Why DeFi Needs Vault Infrastructure
This week, we want the community to explore a deeper idea. In mature financial systems, capital doesn’t move manually between opportunities— it flows through infrastructure designed to manage it efficiently. DeFi is now reaching that same turning point.

It will come from building systems that manage capital at scale.1⃣ Fragmentation: The Core ChallengeThe modern DeFi landscape is vast. ...
