Contest theme: Decentralized Finance

The traditional financial system has functioned for many years, being an intermediary between savers and those who need financing, to maximize profits.

However, the traditional financial system is controlled by a central entity, and to carry out any procedure it is necessary to physically go to any entity in charge of carrying out that procedure.

Given this situation, several years ago emerged a financial ecosystem that is built based on blockchain technology, this ecosystem is decentralized, and no longer needs a central entity governor of this system, therefore, this decentralized financial ecosystem is known as DeFi.

We want to know your opinion and experience with this financial ecosystem.
