Tiger Research: DeFi apps emerging as next-gen execution layer

In a report titled "DeFi App: Between Robinhood and DeFi," Asian Web3 research and consulting firm Tiger Research stated that despite advanced financial infrastructure, the DeFi market's path to mass adoption is hindered by a complex user experience and low retention. The firm noted that DeFi App (HOME) is lowering the barrier to entry by eliminating friction points such as gas fees and bridging, while integrating swaps, deposits, and derivatives into a single interface. Additionally, the platform has built a model connecting its growth with on-chain demand through "Rocket Perps" and a HOME token buyback mechanism. While existing DeFi applications have succeeded in lowering technical barriers, they have shown limitations in retaining users after incentive programs end. The report concluded that if DeFi App successfully retains users and builds trust, it could establish itself as a leading platform in a niche that Robinhood has not yet entered.
