Why would a DeFi protocol use another protocol's liquidity instead of building its own?
One of the most overlooked ideas in DeFi is composability.
Many people assume every protocol needs to build everything from scratch.
In reality, some of the strongest ecosystems grow because protocols build on top of existing infrastructure.
A recent example is X-Fi.
Instead of creating separate liquidity pools, X-Fi uses STON.fi V2 liquidity infrastructure for swap execution.
At first, this may sound like a technical integration.
But the implications are much bigger.
When protocols share infrastructure:
• liquidity fragmentation can be reduced
• users may benefit from deeper liquidity
• builders can focus on product innovation
• ecosystems become more interconnected
This is one reason composability is often described as a superpower of DeFi.
The most successful ecosystems are usually not the ones with isolated applications.
They're the ones where protocols work together to create better user experiences.
Personally, I think integrations like X-Fi and STON.fi are interesting because they show TON DeFi gradually becoming more interconnected rather than more fragmented.
