Decentralized Finance (DeFi)
Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, refers to a financial system built on blockchain technology that operates without traditional intermediaries like banks or brokers. DeFi platforms use smart contracts to offer services such as lending, borrowing, trading, and yield generation. These systems are typically open-source and accessible to anyone with a crypto wallet. While DeFi enables greater financial inclusion and innovation, it also carries risks related to smart contract vulnerabilities and market volatility. DeFi has become one of the most influential sectors in the crypto industry.
