Why DeFi Needs Vault Infrastructure
Decentralized finance has evolved into one of the most dynamic sectors in the digital asset ecosystem. What once started as a handful of lending protocols and decentralized exchanges has expanded into a vast network of platforms operating across multiple blockchains. Today, users can access hundreds of protocols offering liquidity pools, lending markets, derivatives platforms, and complex yield strategies.
