Decentralized Finance (DeFi) | Transforming Traditional Banking

DeFi is the trending approach to accessing financial services that are decentralized, open, and permissionless with the help of blockchain. As opposed to the conventional banking systems, DeFi domains eliminate middlemen, promoting decentralised transactions and access to finance.


At the heart of DeFi is what is known as smart contracts that enable the automation and the security of the transactions on facilities like ethereum. They enable lending and borrowing of cryptocurrencies, trading, as well as earning of interest on the same. These services can be utilized from any part of the world and at a lesser cost and time as compared to the conventional financial organizations.

Still, one of the apparent use cases of DeFi is its ability to provide financial services to people who do not have a bank account, including the underserved population. Further, since all the transactions in DeFi are recorded on its ledger, the transactions are transparent, thus, reduced fraud.

All the same, DeFi comes with what some people consider to be risks. Smart contract risks, legal issues, and the nature of cryptocurrencies are threats. Still, the DeFi is proving to be on the right track to revolutionize finance and made it more accessible to everyone through the decentralized marketplace.

Currently, with the development of the DeFi environment, it’s meant to introduce new concepts that would change classical financial systems and enhance economic engagement all across the globe.
