Stop chasing APR numbers and pretty dashboards—that's just surface noise.
Here's what actually matters when you're scoping out a DeFi protocol: where does your identity sit? More specifically, who owns your data?
Too many platforms trap you inside their ecosystem. Your information lives on their servers, their rules. Game over.
But what if it worked differently? Imagine a setup where your identity travels with you across apps and platforms. Where you actually control who accesses what. Where there's no shadow tracking, no invisible data harvesting.
That's the real differentiator in DeFi now. Not flashy UI, not yield farming percentages. It's about reclaiming ownership of your own identity. That's where the real innovation lives.

NGL, the discussion about data ownership is quite accurate, but how many protocols are truly willing to delegate authority...

NGL, that sounds comfortable, but few projects truly dare to give data ownership back to users.

ngl, this hits different. most people still glued to yield charts while the actual game is identity sovereignty. finally someone saying it out loud.

Well said, data privacy is the true barrier; those high APRs are just bait.

Honestly, data ownership has indeed been overlooked too much, and many people are still fixated on those illusory APR numbers.
