Just imagine if there is no big hype of DeFi projects today will new developers start switching to DeFi potential or build DeFi projects from scratch? No I guess, this is why I think that majority of DeFi projects will die between now and coming year, a painful death I think because they will turn scam, ICO investment websites are full of unknown DeFi tokens that are targeting uniswap exchange for listing, the DeFi tokens have no ANN on this forum and they have low max supply, what's even more disturbing is that people are investing on these coins, I feel like we are going ICO round 2 again
You are right about most projects which are listing on Uniswap now, a good number of them do not have a functional website or adequate whitepaper, let alone use case, their only attractive feature is the low supply which they uses to attract investors. Although no one is forcing anyone into investing in any of these coins, but I think carefulness is highly needed at all times.
Also, comparing the era of ICO to what is being experienced in the DeFi space now, I think there is a correlation between them and that is, DeFi hype is going down rapidly which shows that nowadays a project will need to offer more to investors to convince them into investing.
And lastly, many Defi projects will die especially those that failed to present an attractive use case just as seen during the ICO era.
