Earlier this year, Kyle Samani, the managing partner of Multicoin Capital, wrote an article describing the moat of the Ethereum DeFi protocol and analyzed the conditions required to fork the mainstream DeFi protocol. A few months later, along with the fierce liquidity mining, the DeFi community started a vigorous fork movement.
Relying on a fairer token distribution mechanism and more community driving forces, forking protocols such as SushiSwap and Yam have risen rapidly and evenly split with the original protocol, and they have the momentum to replace them. Is “Fair Start” a better DeFi token distribution model? Is the fork agreement an “unlimited game” or a “limited game”? This issue of Chain News featured interpretation of the spectacular DeFi bifurcation movement and popular cases. This article should be collected, because the chain news will be constantly updated. 😊
