DeFi
DeFi, short for Decentralized Finance, refers to a blockchain-based financial system that offers open and permissionless access to various financial services, such as lending, borrowing, trading, and earning interest, without relying on traditional intermediaries like banks or brokerages. DeFi applications operate on smart contracts and decentralized networks, enabling users to interact with financial services directly from their digital wallets. DeFi aims to make financial services more inclusive, transparent, and accessible to a global audience, often using cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to facilitate these decentralized financial transactions.
