Wow, even the boss of a leading platform like 1inch sighs at how hard it is to make money, so one can imagine how tough it is for those small DeFi protocols!

Leading DeFi platforms generally face the contradiction among high usage, low value retention, and high hidden costs.

Aggregators like 1inch have weaker bargaining power than liquidity providers, and the more they faithfully realize the best trades, the harder it becomes to directly charge users high fees.

Currently, the most profitable leading DeFi protocols mostly follow these models——

Sky: Income from stablecoins and balance sheet interest spread

Hyperliquid: High protocol retention rate, trading fees go directly into the ecological economy

http://pump.fun: High fees, low capital expenditure platform model

Aave: Reserve factor, liquidation, and GHO bring diverse income

Lido: Stable sharing of staking rewards

Pendle: Focused on niche sectors with relatively high retention rate
