Recently, I noticed an interesting phenomenon—some users who used to only operate on centralized exchanges are starting to genuinely engage in on-chain trading and yield products. Interestingly, what attracts them isn’t the dazzling "returns," but rather that the entire process has become much less complicated.
Honestly, the main reason many people previously avoided on-chain activities wasn’t really because they couldn’t calculate the yields. The real issue was that just thinking about wallet setup, Gas fees, cross-chain operations, and transaction signing—the whole process—already made most people hesitant. The cumbersome experience became the biggest obstacle. Now that this barrier has been significantly lowered, users who were previously scared off are actually willing to give it a try. This shift from "I’m too lazy to deal with it" to "Actually, it’s not that complicated" could drive more people into the DeFi ecosystem.
