Dare to trade. Dare to win.
To be honest, when I recently came across the DIP-005 proposal from @defidotapp, I was just making soup, and a thought suddenly popped into my head: "Doing encryption projects should be like making soup; without the tedious complexity, you can achieve a fresh and pure flavor." The DeFi App is like this pot of soup, removing those headache-inducing complicated steps from traditional Decentralized Finance, and serving users a bowl of a simple "ready-to-eat" experience.
The biggest highlight of DIP-005 this time is that the DAO has put forward 187 million $HOME for buyback, and the buyback amount is 150% of the user-unlocked $HOME! Simply put, for every 1 $HOME you unlock, the DAO buys back 1.5 from the market, and the buying momentum is completely filled. Moreover, the buyback is tracked in real-time against the unlocking amount and executed weekly at the TWAP price, ensuring fairness and transparency. For $HOME holders, this is not only value support but also a benefit in voting power and experience points, making it a win-win situation.
When it comes to the "genes" of DeFi Apps, the core is: seamless cross-chain, zero Gas fees, smart staking, and never having to worry about your wallet or KYC. With just one click, you can complete cross-chain exchanges without worrying about complex bridging operations, saving time, effort, and money. In contrast, other apps often require you to first exchange for stablecoins and then for the target coin, causing transaction fees and operational costs to skyrocket, leading to a frustrating experience.
However, the DeFi App also has its own "trade-offs": it currently does not have lending functionality. Why? The team insists on "simplicity first"; lending involves collateral, liquidation, and risk management, which come with considerable complexity and potential risk. Rather than making the product complicated and difficult to use, it is better to focus on what they do best: trading, staking, and yield aggregation, moving steadily and surely.
This makes me reflect: In today's increasingly complex DeFi landscape, what do users really need? Is it a variety of features, or a set of "user-friendly" tools? The strategy of DeFi Apps tells us that simplicity and efficiency are the keys to retaining users.
Personally, I think DeFi Apps are like "Web3 gateways" designed for the public. They bring blockchain into real life and lower the barriers to entry. With the combination of AI and smart routing, future cross-chain operations may become smarter and more automated. Have you ever thought about whether we will still be aware that we are actually using blockchain when the technology becomes more "invisible"?
In summary, the recent actions of DeFi Apps are not only a technological innovation but also a revolution in user experience. If you want to enjoy DeFi with peace of mind, $HOME is worth paying attention to. Do you think the "minimalist style" of DeFi will become mainstream in the future?
