The rise of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has transformed finance by leveraging blockchain to offer permissionless, intermediary-free financial services. Built primarily on Ethereum, DeFi enables trustless transactions through smart contracts. Key applications include:Lending/Borrowing: Platforms like Aave and Compound allow users to lend or borrow crypto assets, earning interest or accessing liquidity without banks.
Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs): Uniswap and Curve facilitate peer-to-peer token swaps, offering lower fees and greater control compared to centralized exchanges.
Stablecoins: Assets like USDC and DAI maintain stable value, enabling reliable transactions and hedging volatility.
DeFi’s growth enhances financial inclusion but faces challenges like regulatory uncertainty, smart contract risks, and scalability limitations, requiring ongoing innovation.
