DeFi 2.0
summary
Panelists argue DeFi 2.0 fixes liquidity fragmentation by building cross‑chain bridges, account‑level aggregation (users spend assets across chains without moving them) and DEXs that can transact multi‑network liquidity; they cite TVL falling from ~180B to ~90B and promote capital efficiency via concentrated liquidity (Uniswap V3) and proof of liquidity approaches. Examples named: Osmosis, Arcana, Orca, and a PYY payment flow. Regulatory pressure (SEC) and UX/security are listed as blockers; AI agents are proposed as the next automation layer.
