Cardano Found: A “Great DeFi Extinction” Will Occur Soon
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has projected that due to a poor level of engineering, most decentralized finance (DeFi) projects will be extinct in the next five to ten years.
Speaking during a YouTube live session, Hoskinson stated that many projects in the space rely on “a hope and a prayer” mindset instead of focusing on rigorous engineering, and consequently they won’t stand the test of time.
According to the Input-Output boss, the current DeFi projects can be considered low quality, an aspect that is wearing down users. He noted that the low quality of the projects is evident by the total value of hacks in the sector in 2021 alone while singling out the Ethereum space for having key weak points that contributed to almost $10.5 billion in losses.
He said:
“Unfortunately, many of the projects in this space will not stand the test of time. We will see a great extinction occur in the next five to 10 years, the reason you do things right, is so that you can be around for that extinction event. Many of you are tired of the incredible cost, the lack of clarity and the low production quality of applications in the DeFi space.”
Hoskinson added that the current DeFi ecosystem is a survival for the fittest, and Cardano is evolving to set up a system that will build on current shortcomings. To enhance, the mathematician stated that Cardano is focusing more on factors like certification standards and exploring a public-private partnership.
During the session, Hoskinson also introduced the Cardano DeFi Alliance (CDA) that includes various players currently developing on the Cardano blockchain. The overall goal of the alliance is to create a “robust and dynamic” DeFi ecosystem that will set the standard for the entire DeFi industry to follow.
Cardano Price Is Expected To Reach These Levels
Looking at the Cardano price chart, we see that ADA has slipped below the $1.50 level during the ongoing session. If the current sentiment persists, we could see the price drop to $1.40.
