Top DeFi Trends and Use Cases of 2024

Sep 23, 2024 at 07:25 pm

DeFi protocols are now more than just simple lending and borrowing blockchain technologies. From Perpetual Liquidity Pools to GambleFi, here are 5 trends leading the DeFi evolution.

Top DeFi Trends and Use Cases of 2024

DeFi protocols have advanced beyond the realm of lending and borrowing. From Perpetual Liquidity Pools to GambleFi, here are 5 trends spearheading the evolution of DeFi.

1. Cross-chain Bridging

The future of DeFi lies in the ability of different blockchain networks to be intertwined. Typically, blockchains operate as single isolated digital ecosystems; Crosschain bridging allows for seamless communication between protocols, ensuring interoperability. For instance, cross-chain decentralized exchanges will enable you to exchange crypto across multiple networks by burning assets in one network and minting new ones in the other. Other mechanisms include lock and unlock and lock and mint models.

2. Perpetual Liquidity Pools (Perp LPs)

Liquidity is the cornerstone of DeFi. It is crucial for price stability and market efficiency. The higher a token’s liquidity, the easier it is to trade it for another crypto and the less volatile its price is. That said, traditionally, liquidity pools required constant rebalancing to reduce price slippage. Perpetual pools have come in to address this issue since they offer continuous liquidity, which helps reduce slippage and stabilizes price movement.

3. GambleFi

With online gambling sites already accepting crypto as a form of payment, it was only a matter of time before they incorporated DeFi into their platforms. GambleFi, which combines online gambling and decentralized finance, creates an ecosystem where people enjoy placing wagers while benefiting from blockchain features.

4. Bitcoin Layer 2

Bitcoin has been late to the improved scalability party (supporting only 7 transactions/sec), but the latest Bitcoin L2 solutions development has helped this blockchain level up. Bitcoin Layer 2 is a secondary protocol built on top of Bitcoin. However, this L2 has a different architecture compared to those developed on, say, Ethereum.

These layer 2 solutions handle off-chain transactions using state channels, side chains, and rollups. The approaches enhance the speed of these transactions by bundling numerous off-chain transactions and then registering them on the Bitcoin blockchain as a single transaction.
