The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) has been one of the most significant developments in the crypto space in recent years. DeFi refers to financial services built on blockchain technology that do not rely on traditional intermediaries like banks. Through DeFi platforms, users can lend, borrow, trade, and earn interest on their crypto holdings, often through smart contracts that automate these processes. DeFi has the potential to democratize access to financial services, especially for people in regions with limited banking infrastructure.
