I agree with @TaikiMaeda2 here:

Your product won't succeed if you're just offering a faster horse. You have to build an internal combustion engine. Only then will the market either embrace it or bury it in the dustbin of history.

A good example of this is @ethena_labs. Rather than creating yet another T-bill-backed stablecoin or a flywheel ponzi, Ethena tokenized basis trade.

They didn’t just try to improve an existing system or make it more efficient—they introduced an entirely new way of interacting with DeFi. Others can try to improve upon it, but true innovation will remain out of reach.

The same is true for @0xfluid, although it may not be obvious yet. Some people might think Fluid is just a more efficient version of Aave (and it is, with up to 100x better liquidations and 6x higher leverage).

But the real paradigm shift will come with the launch of Fluid DEX, which will allow debt to be used as trading liquidity. This will fundamentally transform the way how people provide liquidity and engage with financial markets.

Fluid is also an ever-evolving protocol where every new protocol built on top of it, contributes to overall liquidity and efficiency.

Fluid currently offers:

• Lending protocol

• Vault protocol

• DEX protocol (development complete, coming soon)

Mini protocols:

• stETH redemption protocol

• Flashloan protocol (development complete, coming soon)

• sUSDe redemption protocol (development complete, coming soon)

• weETH redemption protocol (coming soon)

In the coming years, Fluid will host tens, if not hundreds, of protocols. We are clear on that vision, which is why we’ve kept the tagline: the base of the future financial system. Here's a glimpse of what's to come:

• RWAs

• Derivatives

• Cross-chain bridge

• Credits

• Stablecoin

• Interest rate swaps

• Forex (Fluid's Smart Debt will power the global Forex market)

• Any financial market you can think of

Fluid is to become the liquidity layer of the internet and a new standard in the financial world.
