Centralized Decentralized Finance

Definition

Centralized Decentralized Finance, or CeDeFi, refers to financial services that combine aspects of traditional centralized finance with decentralized blockchain technology. This hybrid model seeks to blend the efficiency, regulatory compliance, and user experience of centralized platforms with the transparency, immutability, and liquidity benefits of decentralized finance protocols. CeDeFi platforms often act as intermediaries, providing access to decentralized applications while retaining some control over user identity, funds, or governance. It represents an attempt to bridge the gap between conventional financial systems and the burgeoning decentralized economy.
