My knowledge about DeFi was very poor. After reading this tutorial, I got a lot of ideas about DeFi. But one thing is not clear to me. You call DeFi a trustless ecosystem.

trustless ecosystem of financial applications / services based on public blockchains, predominantly Ethereum.

So why is everyone running after this trustless ecosystem?

As my understanding.
1. Maybe because defi's dev team usually anon. Means, Investors risk of losing their money will be even wider. (example, https://cointelegraph.com/news/another-defi-exit-scam-just-made-off-with-20m-in-investor-funds)
2. Possibility of a price dump (like sushi).

So why is everyone running after this trustless ecosystem?

1. Fomo
2. Hopium
3. Unique ecosystem.
defi made a surprise and attracted many investors due to YFI. New Defi's project at least expected to (at least) match with YFI price. Imo, number 1 & 2 are the main priorities.
Btw, i'm not saying all defi projects are bad.

Also, calling their projects Defi is only a promotional tool. They are Cefi hehehe.

Read this article. I support the affected exchange and projects to do everything to stop the hacker, however, this is not how a real decentralized Defi protocol is supposed to work.



Orion Protocol has updated its smart contract to render $8.5 million stolen tokens obsolete, Covesting has frozen the $520,000 stolen, and KardiaChain has invalidated $9 million worth of tokens.

Crypto company Velo Labs announced that it will invalidate all of the 122 million VELO tokens stolen in the hack, worth about $76 million. VIDT Datalink will freeze 14 million VIDT, worth about $6.4 million. SilentNotary will replace all of its tokens, including the $94,692 affected, and Ocean Protocol paused its smart contract after $8.6 million was lost.
