Decentralized Finance protocol income surges, mainstream projects have wildly garnered 1 billion USD in 9 months.

According to the latest research data, emerging Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols are showing strong profitability, with even newly launched projects being able to quickly generate revenue. Although the majority of protocol income still flows to the protocol providers, this proportion is gradually decreasing due to the introduction of innovative mechanisms such as Liquidity Mining.

Data shows that the monthly revenue of the DeFi industry has demonstrated astonishing growth. In February of this year, the total monthly revenue of the industry surpassed $150 million, in stark contrast to the $500,000 level in May of last year, indicating that the DeFi sector has achieved a 300-fold increase in just 9 months.

Among the many DeFi protocols, there are several projects that stand out particularly. A well-known decentralized exchange and its forked version, along with a leading lending platform, have become the highest revenue-generating protocols. These three projects have contributed approximately 80% of the total revenue in DeFi over the past two months, demonstrating strong market influence and user base.

It is particularly noteworthy that the second version of a mainstream decentralized exchange achieved a revenue milestone of 1 billion USD just 9 months after its launch. Meanwhile, its forked version has also performed well, expected to generate an additional 500 million USD in revenue, of which about 83 million USD will be directly returned to users participating in staking.

These data not only reflect the vigorous development of the Decentralized Finance industry but also highlight the advantages of the decentralized financial model in innovation and value distribution. With the emergence of more innovative projects and increased user participation, the DeFi sector is expected to continue maintaining a rapid growth momentum.
