Decentralized Finance (defi): Revolutionizing Traditional Finance by Shuvo360(m): 9:12am On May 08 |
Introduction In recent years, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has emerged as a game-changer in the financial world. Powered by blockchain technology, DeFi offers a decentralized alternative to traditional financial services. Let’s explore what DeFi is all about and why it’s gaining traction. What Is DeFi? DeFi refers to a set of financial applications and protocols built on public blockchains (primarily Ethereum). Unlike centralized systems, DeFi operates without intermediaries such as banks or brokers.
