How DeFi Is Building A New Tech Stack
summary
Panelists map a concrete DeFi stack: AMMs like Bancor with oracle-fed pricing, InstaDapp-style aggregators that stitch protocols, Gelato-style automation that schedules transactions by gas price, and iExec off-chain compute as a decentralized cloud. Chainlink oracles feed trustworthy price and gas data; Gelato and Bancor already integrate them. Pain points are specific: testing composable systems is hard, auditors are overloaded, gas spikes make simple transfers cost $20–$100, and ~\$8B locked exposes systemic risk to flawed integrations. Overall, primitives exist but tooling and scalability lag.
