Decentralised Finance Ecosystem And Major Protocols in The Ecosystem
In like manner which the existence of internet changed the global information sector, the Blockchain technology has brought about the rise of a financial global infrastructure, that will change the business world forever.
What is DEFI
Decentralised Finance also known as DeFi, is a digital financial concept in the Blockchain ecosystem with use of smart contracts unlike the traditional financial concept.
For instance, some days ago I was at a traditional bank to receive funds, but was delayed for several hours, due to some protocols meant to be observed as well as KYC.
I was later attended to but missed out on another appointment which caused me a whole lot.
DEFI Ecosystem (Decentralised Exchange and market place)
A Decentralised finance ecosystem do not require such sort of delays due to the Blockchain technology, and transaction are being made to anywhere in the world in a matter of seconds.
Decentralised Exchange is one that gives users in the platform the privilege to swap tokens with other assets without any interference of a custodian or an intermediary which is most unlikely with the Traditional finance platforms.
The advent of Blockchain technology and Smart contracts, has basically provided a financial institution concept with the absence of intermediaries, and making even complex transaction between parties that do not trust each other seamlessly easy, and these transactions goes beyond just mere end to end cryto-currency transactions.
Ecosystem in layman's terms is a platform or biological community with end to end interaction of organisms.
Now, talking about decentralized exchange, I'd describe it as a marketplace for cryptocurrency exchange, which gives room for a peer to peer trading platform without the absence of an intermediary operating in a decentralized manner.

Thanks @gbenga, my experience with Binance DEX was really awesome compared to my experience with the the regular Centralised finance system.
Keeping my Mnemonics phrase properly was at first a bit of a hassle, until shortly afterwards, I was able to do large transactions without much delays, knowing my internet service was constant.
Indeed the Decentralized finance system in general is the future of financing ecosystem at large.
Thanks so much for this wonderful topic you came up with @gbenga, we will all be expecting so much more from you.
Cheers..
