Unpopular opinion:
Frontend is a single point of failure for most of the defi products. While in theory, on-chain defi products are open and permissionless, de-facto customers using "official" product frontends that could be censored or geofenced. Though defi products with alternative interfaces exist, MakerDAO, Compoundfinance, KyberNetwork, UniswapExchange has a wide selection of third-party apps and integrations and customers loving it.

​Kyber Ecosystem Report #4

https://blog.kyber.network/kyber-ecosystem-report-4-9d1b30b5cec2

​In this episode of the Future 1 webshow & podcast, we meet Kyle Kistner & Tom Bean who are the cofounders of bZx who just launched a new product called Fulcrum, which is the most simple and powerful way to lend and margin trade. It is the first and only completely trustless platform for margin; it does not use centralized price feeds or centrally administered margin calls. It is permissionless and rent free; there are no fees and no accounts. We spend time learning their story, and walk through their product offering, and speak to the state of crypto and what trends are needed to consider when it comes to decentralized finance.
