As the crypto space continues to evolve this year, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector keeps buzzing with the sound of new investors and interested parties, and a lot of DeFi projects and their tokens have set new record all-time highs in price levels and engagement. This included projects like Reef Finance (REEF), Uniswap (UNI), SushiSwap (SUSHI), and PancakeSwap (CAKE),
