What is DeFi?

The term DeFi is short for ‘decentralised finance’ and is usually used to describe the cluster of applications and companies offering financial services based on decentralised blockchain technology. Sometimes it is also referred to as ‘open finance’.

The concept of decentralisation stands in contrast with the traditional financial services that are generally centralised, i.e., when a single entity, such as a central bank or some other financial institution, is the controller. DeFi is expected to address many of the common drawbacks of centralisation as single points of failure and control, monopolising power and bureaucratic blockage.

Decentralisation of financial services can be achieved with the use of smart contracts, where rules are enforced automatically because they are embedded in a computer code, where the data about all the transactions that have happened are stored in a distributed ledger. This way, no one has complete control over transactions, thus preventing corruption and censorship.
