According to Odaily, Yearn community member Schlag recently commented on the X platform about the losses faced by Stream, attributing them to high leverage, directional trading, and lack of transparency in fund usage. He emphasized the importance of standardization and information disclosure in DeFi projects, suggesting that treasury operations should focus not only on returns but also on strengthening risk management.
In response, Aave founder Stani.eth shared and commented on the post, highlighting the significant warning posed by issues related to immutable oracle price feeds and interest rate curve mechanisms. He noted that this design combination could potentially lead to disasters for lending protocols. Stani pointed out that some asset managers take excessive risks in pursuit of competitive advantage, further exacerbating industry vulnerabilities.
Stani stated that building a secure and robust DeFi system is inherently challenging. He noted that not only do investors lack thorough due diligence, but there is also insufficient risk awareness at the protocol integration level. He called for the industry to collectively enhance transparency and prudent management to create a safer and more sustainable decentralized financial ecosystem.#YearnCommunity #DeFiProjects #RiskManagement #Transparency #Standardization #Leverage #DirectionalTrading #FundUsage #TreasuryOperations #Aave #ImmutableOracles #InterestRateCurves #LendingProtocols #AssetManagers #DueDiligence #ProtocolIntegration #SustainableDeFi #DecentralizedFinance #IndustryVulnerabilities #FinancialEcosystem

DefiLlama data reveals that among approximately 1,300 DeFi projects, a staggering 97.6% have failed to generate significant revenue. According to ChainCatcher, the income distribution exhibits a pronounced power-law pattern.
Stablecoin issuers and trading platforms dominate the top of the revenue list, with Tether generating $490 million, Circle $201 million, and Hyperliquid $61 million.
Additionally, only six protocols have reported revenues between $10 million and $50 million. Over the past 30 days, only 32 projects, accounting for just 2.4% of the total, have achieved revenues exceeding $2 million. The projects with the largest losses include the MEV protocol Kairos Timeboost, with a loss of approximately $200,000, and the options platform Hegic, with a loss of around $23,000.#DeFi #Crypto #Blockchain #Revenue #Stablecoin #TradingPlatforms #Finance #Cryptocurrency #MEV #Losses #PowerLaw #DefiProjects #USDC
