Nice to see some members here doing their own research for this.
Not all will have that kind of effort to do so.
Anyway, even with all the listed projects here, to those who want to invest with DeFi please dig deeper.
This might become like an ICO hype and scammers will be lurking around.

My advice will be don't invest on such projects until they establish themselves into the cryto market and prove their long lasting existence.Not much people are going to take any of those advices either from you and me, they just go with the trend and people are always acted like a sheep but only after losing huge amount they will realize they shouldn't have to invested such amount blindly just for the sake of name.
We can categorize investment into short term, medium term and long term investment. It is undestandbale that most who wants a short term investment that yield high profit will go to ventures that have more risk thus getting involved into pump and dump projects and those that are mostly hyped. While medium term investment often goes for good projects that has new innovations to offer. It is not bad to go for projects that are subject to pump and dump but we must make sure that we do our diligent research and be able to time the market right. But if you ask me, I agree with OP that we should go for the projects may it be a longterm one but have capable developers and good enough project and plans to offer that can bring more profit in the future.
Unfortunately, a lot of investors came here only for big and quick profits. Expectedly, them majority of lost everything
I am happy that at the moment there are still a few scam defi projects, remembering 2017, there were scam projects every day.
I laughed 
when I read this post you wrote, why can you be happy when there is a scam project? isn't it can make a lot of people lose? and one more time when did you see a scam project in 2017? while you entered this forum on March 23, 2018, 01:17:17 PM 
Not that he is happy in the real sense of it but just an expression to acknowledge the fact that for now there are only few defi projects that are scam unlike back in 2017 when almost every new project were scam, but we have to be aware that the defi trends has just hit the market, soon there will be more and more defi project coming out and the number of scam among the defi project will keep increasing, i feel we are at the early stage.
If the team and the project are real and working diligently towards the development and the success of the project with a good supporting investors then there are high chances of success. Yes the nature and use cases of the project matters and i like all the projects you have listed and i think they have huge future potential.
They have a potential, but there is also a high probability that the excitement around these projects will pass soon and if you buy them now, you will continue to hold them for another year before you make a profit.

Why did you highlight only a few projects?
I am looking at promising projects: Swipe, UMA, Kava and others
There are even fantastic projects
But do not forget that this is a very risky investment, and this euphoria can quickly end

The truth is that most people invest in cryptocurrency, simply because they want to make profit and not because of what the project has to offer. I must commend you for the heads up and making a list of some Defi tokens that have so much more to offer than just increase in value. I really do believe that if everyone is more concerned about the use case of a project, then we would have many more projects with outstanding use case which would help in the realisation of the goals of the industry.
These are good examples of real use cases and these projects aren't here to take advantage of DeFi hype but to actually deliver real utilities, there are more good DEFi projects out there e.g Synthetix and Oikos Cash , do good research and avoid investing blindly for quick gains, thank you
These are all new projects but seems pretty decent. Thanks for compiling the list I really like orion protocol too sad I did not managed to join their presale since the price on their ICO already rise very fast, its too risky to bought at such high price.Anyway Ive been scouting a lot of new defi projects but Im gonna make sure its legit. I will avoid those shitcoins pretending to be a defi but reality speaks only a pump and dump on uniswap.
The points raised here is why many lose in the cryptocurrencies investments. Greed and searching for quick gains mostly by the newbies. Utilities any token satisfies will definitely be the fuel upon which its success is driven.
I think it's a very natural thing because most of the newbies who enter crypto do not consider utilities in any token so they immediately make the decision to invest, even though things like that are very dangerous and have the potential to lose. 
Judging from the research that you have provided above, it seems very good to do a review, because currently many projects are switching to using Defi, maybe they think that for now Defi is in great demand by everyone. Maybe this should really be seen and studied if you want to invest in a project because the current project is a lot of scams and they just want to take huge profits from all the investors and after that it disappears without words.
Be informed that every Defi project are just finance offering project but 98% of them are hype and it will be up two years before we can actually know the project that have good utility among them. However, this is the danger some investors dont understand before put in their in Defi while some only invest in coin currently making waves in the market.
A fact that others won't accept. They will think that the Defi they have invested isn't built by hype and is like other projects that are growing naturally.If a project is labeled or a kind of Defi, you should expect that it will also be brought by the hype with the current scenario that we're experiencing with.

We are all in for the gamble. investment and opportunities are similar. in as much as know that the crypto market is feel with quick scams, it is a call for everyone to gamble wisely. i do advise newbies to stay away from Defi exchanges like Uniswap. lot of investors has lost their funds on this exchange due to quick scams and it will not stop just like the other exchange platform.
Its really now it seems to be a gamble .Who are new on crypto didn't understand which project will be better, that's why it will be better to stay away from early gamble on this platform .I am still researching the projects which are really have a future .

maybe i am be victim from uniswap token listing, i am not blamed this exchanges but on this exchange so many fake project listed that have anonymous team. we must do proper research in defi project due many fake project trying get advantages by named their project with defi. there are alot good project and dont focus on it only.
