<p>In 2024, decentralized finance (DeFi) positions itself as one of the most dynamic and promising sectors in the crypto ecosystem. According to a recent report published by CoinGecko, which we will dissect in this post, new trends in DeFi offer unprecedented opportunities. With a total value locked (TVL) now exceeding 90 billion dollars, DeFi is ready to transform the way we conceive and use financial services.</p>

<p>Perpetual liquidity pools are revolutionizing decentralized finance in 2024. These pools allow liquidity providers to earn real returns without the need to constantly monitor their positions. As explained by <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/learn/defi-trends-crypto?cgAndroidWebView=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinGecko</a>, <em>“perpetual liquidity pools capitalize on real yields, offering a reliable option for traders looking to increase their leverage”</em>. Crypto exchanges like GMX and Jupiter are notable examples.</p>

<p>Furthermore, intent-based architecture significantly simplifies user interactions with decentralized finance platforms. Instead of setting each transaction parameter, users can simply specify the desired outcome. “<em>This approach removes technical complexities and allows for a smoother and more efficient user experience</em>,” according to CoinGecko. Crypto protocols like UniswapX and Aperture Finance well illustrate this innovation.</p>

<p>Incentives and crypto airdrops play a crucial role in the DeFi ecosystem by boosting user participation and reinforcing liquidity. Many DeFi projects use these mechanisms to attract and retain users. According to CoinGecko, “<em>airdrops are widely used to build communities and increase the visibility of new crypto projects</em>.” Platforms like Blur, EigenLayer, and Ethena are notable examples.</p>
<p>As for liquid staking protocols, they represent a major advancement by allowing users to maintain liquidity while staking their cryptos, thereby improving capital efficiency and offering new yield opportunities. For CoinGecko, “<em>liquid staking tokens (LSTs) act as derivatives of staked assets, enabling their use in various DeFi activities</em>.” Similarly, restaking protocols like EigenLayer are becoming popular and offer liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) for additional yields. The expansion of Layer 2 solutions, such as Metis’ Liquid Staking Blitz, and the potential approval of Ethereum spot ETFs are key factors that make staking more attractive and lucrative.</p>
