Why DeFi Needs Vault Infrastructure
The DeFi ecosystem has evolved into a massive and highly dynamic financial landscape. Hundreds of protocols. Multiple chains. Constantly shifting yields. An endless range of strategies. Opportunity is everywhere. But with that opportunity comes an unavoidable reality: complexity. As DeFi continues to expand, a fundamental question becomes impossible to ignore: How can capital remain consistently productive in such a fragmented system?Fragmentation Is the Core ProblemModern DeFi is defined by ...
