# Landscape Earned Network addresses challenges faced by two audiences: End Users and Projects. #### For End Users * Too Vast\ The DeFi ecosystem spans over 80 blockchains, 400 protocols, and 10,000 liquidity pools, overwhelming users and businesses. * Too Complex\ Users must navigate more than 50 bridges, 100 wallet providers, and 200 specialized terms, creating high barriers to entry even for advanced users. * Too Volatile\ APY returns fluctuate between 1% and 20% annually, making stable yield planning difficult and preventing 73% of retail investors from participating. * Too Risky\ Over $7 billion has been lost to hacks, exploits, and bridge vulnerabilities, making asset security a major concern. #### For Projects * Difficulty in offering scalable, competitive yield products * Lack of easy ways to generate additional revenue streams * High technical overhead to build or maintain cross-chain DeFi solutions * Limited ability to expand cross-chain and cross-asset without major complexity #### **Vision** Earned Network envisions a world where access to optimized DeFi yields is democratized, secure, and effortless, abstracting away complexity to enable mass adoption. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
