DeFi's Management Layer Lags Behind Protocol Development

The DeFi space has seen a surge in the development of new protocols, chains, and financial primitives. However, this growth has not been matched by advancements in portfolio management infrastructure.

Users are still relying on manual methods such as browser tabs, spreadsheets, and separate tools for tracking positions, analyzing risk exposure, and executing trades. This fragmented approach is resulting in missed opportunities, avoidable liquidations, and slower execution.

Experts argue that the DeFi ecosystem needs a unified management layer that integrates portfolio visibility, risk awareness, and execution. They point to traditional finance as an example of how such infrastructure can be developed.
