The true test of DeFi is not in the smart contract code itself. Today's DeFi ecosystem requires three things: performance, cross-protocol coordination, and enough flexibility to handle different scenarios. That is why the infrastructure layer is so critical.

When a DeFi protocol truly begins to grow, the underlying system must scale in sync — performance cannot become a bottleneck. This is not just an optimization issue, but a rethinking of DeFi architecture from a full-stack perspective. Performance bottlenecks will kill user experience, insufficient coordination will fragment ecosystem liquidity, and lack of flexibility will prevent adaptation to market changes. All three are indispensable.
