Are DeFi platforms really evolving, or just hype?

Lately I’ve been looking at the DeFi space and noticing a lot of new platforms popping up. A lot of them promise huge yields or fancy features, but it’s hard to tell which ones are actually building something sustainable. Some newer projects, like Prophecy Vault, seem to focus more on structure and strategy instead of just high APYs. The idea is to help users approach crypto in a more organized way, using predictive insights and data-driven decisions.

It got me thinking: is the next phase of DeFi going to be about smarter systems and long-term growth rather than chasing the highest yield?
