DeFi refers to a group of financial products and services available to anyone who can use Ethereum and has access to the internet. There are no centralized authorities that can block transfers or refuse access to something with DeFi because the markets are still free. Services that were once sluggish and vulnerable to human error are now automated and safer, thanks to code that anyone can audit and scrutinize. There’s a thriving crypto-economy out there, where you can lend, borrow, invest in long/short positions, gain interest, and more. Companies have begun to broadcast their workers’ pay in real-time. Some people have also taken out and paid off multimillion-dollar loans without providing any personal information. DeFi is often associated with blockchain and cryptocurrencies. However, it has a much broader reach. It’s necessary to understand the current state of the finance ecosystem to comprehend the thought processes that led to the emergence of decentralized finance.
