Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
DeFi, or decentralized finance, is a revolutionary way to democratize financial transactions with the power of blockchain technology. It can define all peer-to-peer financial services offered on public blockchain networks, with Ethereum being the market leader in DeFi.
DeFi applications are powered by smart contracts and offer users the power of lending and borrowing, investing, and more, all with no involvement from a central authority to control the processes. DeFi functions the same way as traditional financial systems, except that it is powered by cryptocurrencies instead of fiat currencies. Its decentralized nature makes it far more efficient in terms of speed and cost while offering greater transparency and inclusivity to users worldwide.
