The protocol, which peaked at over $1 billion TVL during DeFi’s 2021 heyday, couldn’t sustain its model as bear market realities set in. Another cautionary tale about unsustainable APYs and merciless protocol lifespans.
BNB Chain’s DeFi landscape just lost a foundational player. Who’s next? (We’re looking at you, overleveraged lending protocols.)
