Decentralized Fixed Income

Definition

Decentralized fixed income refers to financial products within decentralized finance that offer predictable returns over a set period. These instruments typically involve lending digital assets for a fixed duration at a predetermined interest rate, providing borrowers with capital and lenders with stable yield. Unlike traditional fixed income, these products operate on blockchain networks, utilizing smart contracts for automation and transparency, eliminating the need for intermediaries. They aim to replicate the stability of conventional bonds and interest-bearing accounts in a permissionless environment.
