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 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.
