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 stelt verschillende financiële toepassingen in staat, van eenvoudige transacties tot complexe contracten, via slimme contracten die automatisch worden uitgevoerd onder specifieke voorwaarden. Belangrijke DeFi-toepassingen omvatten gedecentraliseerde beurzen (DEX's), stablecoins, leenplatforms en voorspellingsmarkten. DeFi biedt financiële diensten zoals leningen en mogelijkheden om rente te verdienen zonder traditionele identiteitsverificatie, waarbij in plaats daarvan wordt vertrouwd op onderpand, meestal in cryptocurrency. Deze innovatieve sector belooft meer toegankelijkheid en efficiëntie, maar brengt ook risico's met zich mee, zoals marktschommelingen en ongereguleerde projecten.
