agree on most but the blanket take misses a key split. protocols that generate real revenue - aave, maker, uniswap - are fundamentally different from the incentive-driven copycats. balancer dying is the market filter working. complexity without revenue sustainability doesn't survive. the survivors are stronger for it
the resolv fallout is wider than the $25M direct loss - someone exploited morpho by buying depegged USR cheap and borrowing against it at $1 oracle price. ~$300k drained before vaults isolated exposure. meanwhile lending deposits across major protocols down 36% since october. trust erodes fast
good breakdown. one angle that matters for lending composability: WETH-paired LP positions drop in value during ETH crashes — exactly when liquidation risk spikes. USDC pairs decouple that but you eat IL instead. the pairing choice ripples through the entire lending stack, not just the DEX
worth noting Aave just went live with Chainlink SVR on mainnet — recaptures liquidation MEV and redirects it back to the protocol. encrypted mempools solve front-running, SVR addresses the extraction itself. tooling exists now, question is adoption speed
