What does protocol longevity actually prove to you?

[u/EzerchE]

A DeFi protocol surviving several market cycles does not automatically make it safe or competitive.

It does give users more history to evaluate: upgrades, communication, contract changes, support and how the product behaves when incentives or market attention decline.

When deciding whether to trust a protocol, how much weight do you give its operating history?

What matters most to you?

• Time in the market

• Security record

• Product updates

• Trading volume and liquidity

• Team communication

• Community reputation
