Ten Interesting DeFi Projects To Watch

DeFi is inspirational.

Almost every day, there are some new products being launched. We considered this is a good development compared to 2017, as every day some whitepaper dropped and some ICO raised an absurd amount of money. But, eventually, the party ended, and most of those ICOs were revealed to be fictitious or outright fraudulent. The bigger the ambitions they had, the more they were able to scam investors, and the less they delivered.

In contrast, the early DeFi space and projects, no manner how naive or stupid they might seem to be, tend to strive to serve an attainable purpose, meet a demand, or address a concern.

It feels like being back in 2009 as a heavy Blackberry user and looking at iPhone — sure, it’s cool, but why do I need this? More than a decade later, I doubt many people would give up their iPhone for the Blackberry. In the same way, DeFi currently represents a very early iPhone prototype . . . the product is there, and it will evolve.

Still, there’s a lot of project churn that needs to happen; it’s inevitable most DeFi projects will die like ICO projects after 2017. Some projects, however, will survive and adapt. Eventually, they’ll become truly disruptive and revolutionary. What’s interesting is that projects will likely have one thing in common: people tend to use them without incentives. Think of Uniswap as an example.

With that in mind, we look at the space and search for Defi projects that work.
