Audits are essential for DeFi, but not a guarantee. Audited projects saw $3.3B+ in losses between '20-'25, driven by rugs, private key compromises and post-audit changes. DeFi audits are the baseline, but effective risk management still requires active monitoring of risk

If we ask who the Amazon or Google of DeFi is today, the answer becomes clearer when we compare H2 2021 with H1 2025. In 2021, DeFi was driven by hype and FOMO. Almost every new idea attracted capital, even without real revenue or users → It felt like the dot-com boom,
