Decentralised Finance
Financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading built on blockchain without traditional banks.
DeFi aims to recreate (and sometimes improve) traditional finance using blockchain. Benefits include 24/7 access, transparency, and openness to anyone with an internet connection. Risks include smart contract bugs, high volatility, and no government protection.
Imagine a bank where the rules are written in code instead of run by people in suits.
Real world: On platforms like Aave or Uniswap, you can supply stablecoins and earn yield, or swap tokens instantly. During bull markets, people moved billions into DeFi for higher returns than traditional savings accounts.
💡 DeFi lets you be your own bank — powerful, but use it carefully.
