DeFi Payments

Definition

DeFi Payments are financial transactions executed directly on a decentralized blockchain network without reliance on traditional intermediaries like banks or payment processors. These payments leverage smart contracts to facilitate peer-to-peer value transfers, often using stablecoins or other digital assets. They offer features such as lower transaction fees, faster settlement times, and increased censorship resistance compared to conventional payment systems. The architecture promotes financial inclusion and operational transparency.
