InfoFi is not extinct, it has just migrated.

The shift from a single platform to a multi-chain ecosystem is accelerating. Trading activities that once concentrated on certain leading DEXs are now dispersed across major public chains and Layer 2 solutions. Some emerging DeFi projects are beginning to seek opportunities on alternative platforms, leveraging lower fees and faster confirmation speeds. This transition reflects the maturity of the entire decentralized finance market—users are no longer confined to a single choice but are switching flexibly based on returns, risks, and user experience.

Multi-chain is just multi-chain, anyway I still only mess around on those three chains.

Multi-chain ecosystems are the future; the single-chain era is truly outdated.

Really, now is the time to go wherever it's cheap. It seems everyone is scouring different public chains for opportunities. In the multi-chain era, who still sticks to a single DEX? It's not cost-effective at all. Have layer2 fees gone up? I haven't been paying much attention lately. As long as the returns are sufficient, it doesn't matter which chain you choose. Just migrate if you want to, after all, money should follow the returns.

Migration? Sounds nice, but it's just following the trend to chase profits. Anyway, people just gather wherever the fees are low. The ones who are truly making money have already left. Those who only realize now have already been half-crippled by the harvest. Layer2 was popular for two days, but no one is using it anymore. Stop bragging. Multi-chain ecosystems sound free, but in reality, they're still a scattered mess. If there's a good project, who wouldn't go to the top DEX... When will this wave of migration come back? Chasing low fees every day has instead turned into a pursuit of low-end players.

It's just migration. To put it nicely, it's multi-chain competition; to be blunt, it's just following the trend to play in places with lower fees.

Really, rather than saying it has disappeared, it's more like it has found a new home—lower costs, faster speed, who would still cling to a single platform?

This logic is actually a bit far-fetched. How easy is it to "flexibly switch"? Who bears the gas fees, slippage, and cross-chain bridge risks?
