Recently, the crypto scene has been quite lively. Solana and a major exchange announced deepening cooperation, allowing over a hundred million users to directly trade SOL, even simplifying the listing process. This clearly aims to rapidly expand market share. But issues have also surfaced—around the same time, some projects were exposed for issuing tokens twice within three weeks, printing 45 million tokens in a single issuance, practically treating the market as an automatic teller machine.

This contrast clearly illustrates the problem. On one side is the pursuit of speed and scale; on the other is disorderly expansion that overextends credibility. Interestingly, some projects are quietly changing their approach. For example, certain protocols have long realized that simply acting as "data couriers" is not enough, and are starting to treat data as assets to manage—using AI verification, multi-source backups, and even offering two modes for applications to choose from—speed or stability. This mindset is more akin to conservative strategies in traditional finance.

A more direct change is seen in the DAO governance of some projects. Previously, disputes and discussions happened on forums; now, it has evolved into a real risk management system. Committees monitor key parameters in real-time, and if data exceeds thresholds, automatic adjustments are triggered, all recorded on-chain for transparency. This is no longer just a DeFi experiment but resembles a traditional financial clearinghouse—only with all operations fully open and transparent, preventing any manipulative actions.

Therefore, the story of DeFi is shifting. The old path of reckless issuance and unlimited expansion is no longer viable. Projects with true vitality are beginning to emphasize stability, traceability, and risk management.
