The Future of Finance: What is DeFi?
DeFi is a financial system that runs on a decentralised network of computers rather than a single server. DeFi is an emerging digital financial infrastructure that theoretically eliminates the need for a commercial bank or government agency to approve financial transactions. With DeFi you can do the things that banks allow you to do, such as borrow, lend, earn interest, buy insurance and trade assets in a faster, cheaper and more secure way that doesn’t require any paperwork or bank fees. There are billions of individuals all around the world who cannot access many of the financial services that we enjoy today. DeFi makes these financial services available to anyone with an internet connection from any location.
Regarded by many as an umbrella term for a new wave of financial services innovation, DeFi is deeply connected to blockchain. This is the decentralised, immutable, public ledger on which cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are based. The ledger records cryptocurrency transactions and is owned by everyone on the network, making it an incorruptible system for building trust and eliminating fraud. The idea is that no single entity has control over, or can alter, that ledger of transactions.
