What are the top ten most profitable protocols in the DeFi field at present?

After experiencing high prices in 2021, the crypto field has cooled down this year. Of course, good and bad are interdependent. In a calm state, crypto infrastructure can develop precipitously, such as those DeFi protocols with strong income, real demand, and positive returns. Looking at the market, the market has a trend of shifting from "fat protocols and thin applications to fat applications".

What are fat and thin protocols and applications? This is because the early Internet was like a "thin protocol network", which was based on things like TCP, IP, and HTTP that were not noticed by people, and the value of these protocols was captured by application software, that is, APP. For example, Douyin, WeChat, Meituan, etc., which we are using now, are "thin protocols and fat applications".

But on the basis of blockchain decentralization, the value is concentrated in the shared protocol layer, and only a small part of the value is distributed in the application layer, so it is called a stack of "fat" protocols and "thin" applications.

Today, we will continue to sort out this topic for you. Let's take a look at what are the top ten most profitable protocols in the DeFi field at present?

1.Lido is the largest crypto protocol in the staking track on the market, mainly providing liquid staking solutions for ETH and other PoS blockchains.

2.MakerDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization on the Ethereum blockchain. It was founded in 2015 and is the longest-running project on the Ethereum blockchain. It currently ranks second in TVL, at about $5 billion.

3.Aave is also one of the crypto asset lending protocols, formerly known as ETHLend.

4.JustLend is a decentralized lending protocol based on TRON, launched by Justin Sun in the third quarter of 2020.

5.Uniswap is a DEX created in 2018 and built on Ethereum.

6.Curve Finance is an automated market maker protocol.

7.SummerFi's predecessor was Oasis, which originated from MakerDAO and is the first DEX above.

8.Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH.

9. Compound Finance is a decentralized protocol.

10. Instadapp is a middleware protocol that simplifies and unifies the DeFi front end, which can be understood as an aggregator.
