Everyone knows but doesn't want to say the fact: before ERC-4626 appeared, the DeFi vault ecosystem was in chaos.



Each protocol was reinventing the wheel. Deposit logic varied widely, withdrawal calculation methods were diverse, and share accounting was all custom implementations, with risks hidden in the myriad of custom code.

What was the result? User experience was terrible—every interaction required re-understanding a new set of logic. Developers also had a tough time—integration became a fragile puzzle game. Ecosystem fragmentation was becoming more severe.

The emergence of ERC-4626 changed all that. A unified Vault standard made integration between different protocols possible, and user experience became more predictable. This is the power of standardization.

Those previous vaults were really terrible, each with their own logic, I almost got caught out. ERC-4626 is the savior, finally there's a unified standard. If it weren't for this thing, how much longer would DeFi remain chaotic?

I've been saying it all along, 4626 is the savior, and those previous protocols each doing their own thing was really annoying. Honestly, no one wants to back down first, and as a result, users suffer. Standardization looks simple, but in reality, it's full of political struggles.

Wow, I'm tired of each protocol creating its own logic. Finally, someone is organizing things. Honestly, standardization has really saved the entire ecosystem, otherwise we'd be constantly worried about all sorts of devilish details. But to be honest, some older projects are still a bit slow to shift towards 4626.

Oh my god, finally someone dares to say this. The previous approach where everyone did their own thing was truly disastrous. 4626 is here to rescue the market, and establishing a unified standard should have been done long ago. Honestly, without this, developers worked themselves to death, and users also suffered. At least now there are some rules. Standardization is indeed OP; why didn't we think of it earlier?

To be honest, 4626 is just a plan to package chaos into order. The previous mess really needed to be addressed. Is there really a protocol that adheres well to this standard? One word: competition

4626 is really the savior, the previous chaos indeed couldn't hold up anymore. --- To be honest, it should have been unified long ago. Each doing their own thing is just sending ammunition to hackers. --- Standardization is easier to say than to do. The real implementation depends on how major protocols cooperate. --- Wow, finally someone dares to speak frankly. The issue of ecosystem fragmentation has long needed to be addressed. --- Wait, is 4626 really that powerful, or is it just another PPT standard? --- The problem is, how many projects are actually following 4626 now? It still feels like a scattered mess. --- That's why I've always said DeFi needs to be rectified; there are too many bad projects. --- Finally, I don't have to learn the logic of each protocol all over again. Feels good.

Bro, that really hits the spot. I was genuinely afraid of those custom codes before.
