DeFi

DeFi, een afkorting van gedecentraliseerde financiën, vertegenwoordigt een verschuiving in de financiële sector door gebruik te maken van blockchain-technologie, voornamelijk Ethereum, om traditionele financiële tussenpersonen te elimineren. Het maakt verschillende financiële toepassingen mogelijk, van eenvoudige transacties tot complexe contracten, via smart contracts die automatisch worden uitgevoerd onder specifieke voorwaarden. Belangrijke DeFi-toepassingen omvatten gedecentraliseerde beurzen (DEX's), stablecoins, uitleenplatforms en predictiemarkten. DeFi biedt financiële diensten zoals leningen en rentemogelijkheden zonder traditionele identiteitsverificatie, en vertrouwt in plaats daarvan op onderpand, meestal in cryptocurrency. Deze innovatieve sector belooft grotere toegankelijkheid en efficiëntie, maar brengt ook risico’s met zich mee, zoals marktvolatiliteit en ongereguleerde projecten.
