Why DeFi projects that survived the 2022 crash are closing now

DeFi projects that withstood the 2022 Terra and FTX collapses are shutting down in 2026. Cointelegraph reported analysts see tougher competition within DeFi rather than broad industry consolidation. Zapper plans to end its service in July, while Botanix, Step Finance, Parsec and Odos Protocol have closed or are winding down. Data showed 101 crypto projects shut this year through July 26, over half tied to DeFi. Fee and revenue indicators have deteriorated, while some cite weak demand and others point to continued stablecoin growth.

1inch launches Aqua protocol to integrate DeFi liquidity across 13 chains

1inch has launched Aqua, a protocol designed to use decentralised finance liquidity across 13 blockchains. Aqua allows liquidity providers to apply strategies across multiple protocols at the same time based on a single wallet balance, without depositing assets into a specific pool. Assets remain in the wallet until a trade is executed and are used only at settlement, enabling broader use of liquidity. The protocol is not open to all users.

Uniswap founder rebuts claims v4 protocol fees reduce LP income

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams (헤이든 애덤스) pushed back against criticism that fees in the v4 protocol reduce liquidity providers' income. He said the claim is based on incorrect assumptions and emerged after Uniswap governance enabled protocol fees for some v4 pools across multiple blockchains. Adams also denied that the protocol takes 25 percent of LP revenue, citing a 30 bp pool where a 5 bp fee equals about 14 percent of total swap fees.
