What is DeFi?
Decentralized finance, better known as DeFi, refers to a monetary system that is used by public blockchains. This initiative arises from the low availability of financial services for everyone.
Currently almost 1.7 billion people globally do not have access to these services and financial institutions do not have the necessary infrastructure for people to have greater availability of money.
DeFi has established itself as an important use on blockchain and the projects are growing. As open structures, the global community is developing on these protocols different financial solutions that are expected to be the future of the financial sector.
