Steem Crypto Challenge Month #2 : Diving into DeFi

Challenge #1 of the Steem Crypto Challenge Month has now finished.

Now we move on to the second Challenge all about DeFi.

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is one of the hottest topics in the crypto world at present attracting huge interest and huge investment.

This refers to financial services using smart contracts, which are automated enforceable agreements that don’t need intermediaries like a bank or lawyer and use online blockchain technology instead.

Many great projects are already appearing based on DeFi, but this is just the beginning.

This week we would like to hear your thoughts, ideas and impressions as we dive into the world of DeFi.
