What’s Really Blocking $DeFi’s Growth? $Soul and Pi² Have Some Answers.

Yesterday, @Pi_Squared_Pi2 and @0xSoulProtocol co-hosted a Space to explore what’s holding back cross-chain lending, and what new approaches can unlock its full potential.

Fragmentation is still $DeFi’s biggest challenge.

$Soul emphasized that while most protocols compete for liquidity, their model builds on top of existing systems—strengthening the base layer rather than siphoning value from it. This shift offers a more sustainable and scalable path for growth. 🎙️ @efectorami

User experience remains a key blocker.

@RosuGrigore noted that $DeFi's complexity is still a major pain point. $Soul and Pi² are aligned in their belief that removing friction and enabling seamless participation across chains is essential for broader adoption.

Verifiability changes what’s possible.

Pi Squared’s mirroring approach eliminates the need for centralized controllers by creating a trustless coordination layer. This allows agents and protocols to interact across chains with full transparency and proof of correctness.

Cross-chain yield, without the bridges.

$Soul shared how its architecture allows users to earn across multiple chains without bridging or wrapping assets—maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk. 🎙️ @As_Hatom

A shared vision built over time.

The partnership between $Soul and Pi² began nearly three years ago. Now, they’re working together to enable verifiable, autonomous lending systems that move as fast as the market demands.
