To be honest, DeFi has indeed felt a bit like it's in "hibernation" recently. The volume is stagnant, and retail investors are jumping up and down on the Candlestick chart, starting to panic, creating a sense of confusion in the whole market of "what's next?" Interestingly - while half of the project parties are hitting the pause button, some teams are not busy trying to show off their presence. For example, Falcon Finance, you might not have seen much of it on your timeline lately. What are they doing? Repairing pipelines, tightening screws, ensuring that the system can really run. There's no exaggerated APY screenshot bombardment, nor are they releasing marketing copy of "big favourable information" - they are just steadily doing one thing: turning the liquidity assets in hand (be it crypto assets or stablecoins) into truly useful tools. Instead of shouting slogans, it's better to solidify the foundation first. In this day and age, projects that can hold back from speculation make people even more curious about what they will present next.
