With the increasing popularity of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies worldwide, the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem has also made significant strides since 2017. During this process, the number of projects developed in the decentralized finance ecosystem has increased significantly, and DeFi protocols have started to reach a much wider user base. However, along with the growth of the ecosystem, various security issues have arisen. Recent negative developments, including the TerraUSD collapse, have sparked a new debate about the future of the crypto ecosystem.
