• Local or Global DeFi Winners

RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦇🔊 @RyanSAdams

A question for you DeFi big brains🧠 Local or global winners? Local winners = each chain ends up w/ a unique set of dominant DeFi protocols (power law per chain) Global winners = mega defi protocols outcompete locals & achieve multi chain dominance (power law per DeFi app)

@RyanSAdams Stats following Uniswap's arrival on Polygon leads me to believe that user stickiness will lead to global winners 🤔 imo the average user sticks to what he is familiar with, but it will be interesting to see how things develop Source 👉 dune.xyz/queries/596198
