❓ Problem & Opportunity

Problem & Opportunity

1. Complexity Overload in DeFi

DeFi has evolved into a highly modular ecosystem with hundreds of protocols, strategies, and yield primitives. While this increases innovation, it creates significant cognitive overload for users.

Users must:

  • Understand different protocol mechanics

  • Compare risks across multiple platforms

  • Monitor positions continuously

  • Execute complex transactions manually

This complexity disproportionately affects retail users, limiting access to advanced strategies.


2. Fragmented Protocol Landscape

Capital in DeFi is highly fragmented across:

  • Lending markets

  • Liquid staking

  • Derivatives

  • Yield optimizers

  • Structured products

Each protocol operates with:

  • Different interfaces

  • Different risk assumptions

  • Different execution logic

There is no unified execution layer that coordinates capital across protocols in a composable and standardized way.


3. No True Strategy Ownership

Today, most users do not own strategies — they interact with:

  • Static vaults

  • Opaque yield products

  • Protocol-defined logic

This results in:

  • Limited transparency

  • Little customization

  • No creator economy for strategies

  • Users acting as passive liquidity, not decision-makers


4. Why This Matters Now

Three major shifts are happening simultaneously:

AI

  • Enables continuous optimization, monitoring, and decision support

  • Turns strategies into adaptive systems, not static rules

Layer 2 Scaling

  • Reduces execution costs

  • Makes frequent rebalancing and multi-step strategies viable

Modular DeFi

  • Encourages specialized protocols

  • Increases the need for orchestration layers

However, the coordination layer is missing.


The Opportunity

MALGIST exists to become that missing layer.

A system where:

  • Strategies are first-class primitives

  • Execution is abstracted from protocol complexity

  • Capital can flow intelligently across DeFi

  • Users retain control, transparency, and choice

This unlocks:

  • Broader DeFi adoption

  • A creator-driven strategy ecosystem

  • Safer and more efficient capital deployment
