Ethereum’s Role in DeFi’s Shift Toward Minimum Viable Decentralization and Improved Performance

Main Idea
DeFi's shift toward minimum viable decentralization (MVD) aims to enhance performance and trust to compete with traditional finance (TradFi) by prioritizing speed, high-throughput order books, and MEV mitigation.
Key Points
1. DeFi faces performance bottlenecks, such as Ethereum's 12-15 second block times and MEV issues, driving users toward centralized exchanges for better reliability.
2. Minimum viable decentralization (MVD) proposes sub-100ms block times, near-instant finality, and optimized validator sets to balance decentralization with performance.
3. Platforms like Hyperliquid and Aevo demonstrate MVD's potential, enabling rapid scaling in decentralized derivatives, a sector projected to exceed $351 trillion by 2031.
4. DeFi must adopt MVD to move beyond experimental phases and achieve practical usability while maintaining core decentralization values.
5. The shift to MVD could help DeFi compete with TradFi by improving execution speed, market integrity, and institutional adoption.
