DeFi & Onchain Finance

DeFi is becoming the operating layer for digital asset finance: vaults, lending markets, stablecoins, tokenised collateral, and structured yield products. Castle Labs tracks the infrastructure making that transition real, from Morpho and Aave to the curator model, RWA collateral, and the products that connect offchain capital to onchain execution. The reader question is practical: which systems are becoming durable financial infrastructure, and which are still yield theatre?
