Recently, I noticed a rather interesting perspective—what is the true bottleneck for on-chain capital?

Many people focus on AMMs and lending protocols, but in reality, the most critical issue is the underlying capital efficiency. DeFi strategies are too fragmented right now: lending is just lending, trading is just trading, and your funds have to jump between various protocols, losing value with every move.

Astros' proposed Prime architecture is actually quite straightforward—it aims to break this isolated state. Instead of having funds constantly bounce between different platforms, it's better to reconstruct the logic from the ground up.

That's right, DeFi is basically a giant sieve right now—funds are leaking everywhere. Just hopping around eats up too much gas. --- The Prime architecture really hits the pain points. Someone should've connected these isolated islands a long time ago. --- No matter how good it sounds, you have to see if it can actually be implemented. Otherwise, it's just another pipe dream. --- With capital efficiency this low, no wonder whales are still holding cash and waiting for opportunities. --- Isn't this just liquidity fragmentation? We've known for a while that's the issue, but the ecosystem is so fragmented it's hard to fix. --- The Astros approach is pretty interesting. If they can really rebuild the underlying logic, it's worth paying attention to. --- Every time you move across protocols, you bleed out. That's the most annoying thing about DeFi right now, hands down. --- The root problem is that everyone's doing their own thing—nobody wants to give up their position to standardize.

That's right, the silo problem is indeed underestimated. Every time we interact across protocols, we're losing value.

To be honest, this point is spot on. DeFi is like a giant split personality patient—funds keep shuffling back and forth between protocols, and it’s just a bloodbath.

To be honest, I’ve wanted to complain about this for a while. DeFi is just a bunch of fragmented pieces stitched together right now, with extremely low capital efficiency. The Prime architecture is the right idea, but when it comes to execution... well, it really depends on how the Astros tackle this tough challenge.

That's right, DeFi is a huge maze right now, with funds moving around and transaction fees bleeding everywhere. I really like the Prime architecture approach—someone really needs to integrate all this.

Money dances between various protocols, and every time it jumps, it loses a layer... To be honest, this round of Astros’ approach really hits the mark.

Thinking about this yet again... To be honest, the moment funds start dancing between protocols, I'm already at a huge loss before I can even react. The logic behind the Prime architecture sounds nice, but I'm worried it's just another APY screenshot scam.
