Decentralized Finance Systems

Definition

Decentralized Finance Systems, often abbreviated as DeFi, are financial applications built on blockchain technology that operate without central intermediaries. These systems offer services such as lending, borrowing, trading, and insurance through automated smart contracts. They aim to provide open, permissionless, and transparent financial services accessible to anyone with an internet connection. DeFi represents a significant departure from traditional financial structures, promoting greater user control and reduced reliance on legacy institutions.
