DeFi (decentralized finance)

DeFi covers financial services (lending, exchanges, interest) built on the blockchain, without a bank or central intermediary.

Through automated contracts, you can lend, borrow or trade directly between users. DeFi offers new opportunities, but also high risks: code bugs, scams and strong volatility.

Example

You lend your crypto through a DeFi protocol and earn interest, without going through a bank.
