Introduction:
Defi draws inspiration from blockchain, the technology behind
the crypto currencies which allows several entities to hold a copy
ofa history of transactions, meaning it isn't controlled by a single,
central source. That's important because centralized systems
and human gatekeepers can limit the speed and sophistication of
transactions while offering users less direct control over their
money. Def is distinct because it expands the use of blockchain
from simple value transfer to more complex financial use cases
Defi has experienced in 2020, with a market cap of over two billion
dollars.
Defi in recent times improved the fintech industry by making
transactions seamless. Decentralised finance (Defi) applications
are user friendly applications that closes the gap between
investors and middle men making all transactions permissionless.
DeFiis not a specific thing, but more a loosely defined collection
of ideas and projects to reshape financial services through
blockchain technologyProblems:
The last few decades have rocked the financial world with an
explosion of technological innovation, globalization and changing
consumer expectations. At the heart of all these changes?
Financial technology, or Fintech.
Fintech businesses have been at the forefront of the digital
revolution in the financial sector, pushing traditional institutions
to keep up. Unlike traditional institutions, Fintech companies are
able to be digital, agile and modern. Most Fintech businesses have
fully integrated the ABCs of modern business: automation, bots
and cloud
Demand for digital financial services is at an all-time high
Investment in Fintech start-ups is booming, reaching a record $31
billion (£24 billion) in 2018, more than double that of the previous
year. Fintech money service businesses have fulfilled the
need for easy, accessible and affordable financial services and now
play an integral role in the global economy. Fintech companies
have even enabled new types of growth in the
industry: collaborative disruption has enabled community banks
to grow their customer base.
The future of Fintech seems limitless — even Amazon creating a
bank doesn't sound that far-fetched. In reality, the Fintech
industry is still in its infancy, full of untapped potential and
growing every day.Mace a
But it's not all sunshine and butterflies, Fintech currently faces
four key roadblocks, and to ensure long-term success, companies
need to step up to the plate to address these challenges facing
Fintech businesses. Fintech leaders that tackle these issues will
open the door to truly revolutionary growth
Innovation:
Innovation is the strength of Fintech. It's what gives Fintech
companies a leg up: they are a breath of fresh air and new ideas in
the financial sector. New tech brings evolution to a challenging,
often traditional industry. The impact is felt around the world
(Fintech has spread all the way to North Korea, in fact)
But innovation can be a double-edged sword, It brings a constant
state of flux and competing upgrades, and it's easy to lose the
human aspect at the core of financial services.
Staying on top of trends
Innovation and disruption is incredibly beneficial —to some.
Banks are swiftly falling behind Fintech companies, while still
playing an integral role to the world's financial industry. This tech
disparity causes friction as banks struggle to keep up.
Tech has changed customer demands and expectations, as well.
Open banking and personalization are becoming essential, and
trends like machine learning are making waves. But banks, and
especially small to midsize banks, can't easily adjust. Fintech
businesses need to be aware of this struggle and see the
opportunity for mutually beneficial partnerships: banks simply
can't be left behind in the current global system.Min
Balancing Human and Tech:
Because innovation and tech are the strengths of Fintech, it's easy
to assume that all customers want newer, faster, more automated
services. However, Fintech institutions that make that assumption
risk drifting out of touch with customer needs.
The fact is, the vast majority of customers want to interact with a
human when handling their finances not to mention the security
concerns and resistance to change that come along with
digitalization. At the same time, digitalization opens the door to.
banking for customers around the world as demonstrated by the
experience of Fintech in Brazil with enormous opportunities for
growth and increased accessibility.
Fintech organizations need to keep the customer experience top
of mind. It's all too easy to lose sight of what your custorners are
truly looking for when upgrading to shiny new tech. When
optimizing and upgrading, make sure you listen to your clients.
Regulations:
One of the main Fintech challenges facing new institutions is
managing regulatory risk and compliance. It'sa factor inherent to
the financial industry, but one felt particularly keenly by Fintech
companies.New global regulations:
The regulations issue has been at the forefront in the last few
years with sweeping laws like PSD2, which regulates payment
services, and GDPR, which regulates data usage. Regulations
touch every aspect of the financial industry. As more global
regulations are rolled out, Fintech companies are constantly
challenged to keep up and stay compliant which is essential for
both partner and customer trust. Instead, Fintech businesses
should consider regulations as a framework for best practices: you
can future-proof your Fintech business by doubling down on
regulations, rather than viewing them as hurdles.
Anti-money laundering and KYC:
Anti-money laundering (AML) is a set of procedures, laws and
regulations designed to stop the practice of generating income
through illegal actions, Fintech and money service businesses are
subject to harsh levels of scrutiny, and those who do not comply
face fines, suspension or revocation of license, and harm to brand
reputation. In particular, money service businesses struggle to
meet increasingly stricter AML and
Know-Your-Customer (KYC) requirements.
Because digital financial services focus on rapid, frictionless
processes, maintaining AML compliance tends to be more
difficult. Any history of AML non-compliance is extremely
detrimental to Fintech startups looking to gain funding and
customer trust. Because this has been a major issue for the past
decade, these failures have deteriorated the trust between
correspondent banks and money service businesses, causing a
reluctance to serve them.Macao
Compliance struggles:
Increased regulatory expectations and stricter enforcement of
current regulations has been another challenge for Fintech
businesses, whether it's meeting those strict standards or
effectively training staff to handle compliance. Without a strong
culture of compliance and a documented training program in
place, businesses can be subject to even more fines and penalties.
Because Fintech companies are so new, they often lack the solid,
streamlined compliance processes that banks have. Although
Fintech companies have more advanced, agile technology than
traditional banks, banks have more resources — in the form of
staff, expertise and established practices — at their disposal to aid
in meeting compliance requirements.
Competition and risk:
Establishing a successful Fintech company can feel like an uphill
climb. It's a constant battle against established, hefty competitors
like traditional banks; it can be difficult to make headway or
establish a foothold, making industry competition a serious
challenge facing Fintech organizations.
De-risking and limited bank partnerships:
Many banks see Fintech organizations as having a negative
reputation: they see Fintech as risky and dangerous to support.
Banks around the world are therefore closing their accounts with
Fintech by the masses and unbanking the industry, Due to this
reluctance from legacy banking institutions, countless Fintech
businesses are left fighting tooth and nail for the financial services
required to operate.Distrust from banks can be a massive barrier. Since de-risking has
taken hold of the industry, Fintechs and money service businesses
have faced reluctance from the banks they rely on to operate,
especially internationally. This wave of de-risking leads to
instability or even an inability to get a leg up in the market for
countless Fintech companies.
Trust and customer expectations:
The other side of the risk coin is customer trust. Fintech
companies offer so many new advantages, but often suffer from a
lack of reputation or industry trust. Customers may not know that
Fintech companies are just as regulated as banks; money is such a
sensitive subject that extra reassurance is essential.
To become a trustworthy financial resource, Fintech organizations
need to be upfront and transparent with customers, Those steps
are essential to begin chipping away at the barriers to trust and
erode the different perceptions of Fintech and banks.
International expansion:
Challenges facing Fintechs, like risk and regulations, come
together to create enormous barriers to international expansion.
Expansion typically relies on developing local banking
relationships, a long and cumbersome process that heavily
stagnates growth.
Fintech companies often rely on banks to develop a network and
gain access to “For the Benefit Of" accounts (FBOs) and
International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs)recta
Additionally, these businesses struggle to find banking solutions
that can hold up in multiple states or countries as they scale.
In the US. especially, compliance is a huge barrier. In order to offer
a tech-led solution for their customer base, Fintechs must be
regulated in all SO states, which is an expensive and
time-consuming process. The cost of doing business globally —
hundreds of thousands of dollars annually per country you are
licensed and regulated in is preventing startups from achieving
international growth. Without strong partnerships, international
payments are a pipe-dream for many businesses, and foreign
exchange isa major resource drain.Solution:
4links provide an obvious solution to these issues. By removing
the need for a third party, decentralized exchanges allow users to
have more control over their transactions.
Inan era where control over one's own information is more
important than ever, and where hacks continue to occur regularly,
it is prudent to opt for the more secure option.
Decentralized Exchanges Help Avoid Market Manipulation.
Centralized exchanges, have been accused of market
manipulation. Since they have full authority to determine which
tokens can be listed on the exchange, they have the potential to
influence the financial market in unseen ways. This is not the case
for a decentralized exchange their market actions are transparent
and accessible to everyone on the blockchain.
4links Can Operate as Exchanges Instead of Custodians. While it
depends on which exchange is used, a majority of centralized
exchanges operate as escrow accounts for crypto for their
customers, Decentralized exchanges do not act as custodians and
purely make it possible for two parties to trade with each other
using smart contracts.Executive Summary:
4link is a decentralized exchange (Dex) that does not rely on any
third party individuals or organizations to hold customers funds;
instead, the platform offers a direct peer to peer trading
mechanism that allows the users to process their transactions on
an automated system. 4link is the brainchild of a few dedicated
cryptocurrency developers from around the world. We wanted to
find one major problem and try and improve it. We did just that
with the spicy project. 4link offers its users the opportunity to
partake in a new liquidity pool through staking, Participants who
stake 4lin tokens will enjoy benefits such as governance rights for
the protocol layer and rewards to those contributing to the
4link liquidity poo! through the protocol’s fees (even after they
have stopped staking in the liquidity pool).
4link has a clear goal and is focused on being the best multi-chain
yield farming platform covering both Ethereum, Tron, and
Binance Smart Chain via its various forks.
We have allocated 102900 4lin tokens which will be pre-mined
and saved in a smart contract, and used for various other
purposes.
What makes us unique?
Uniswap has been spearheading the DeFi cornmunity due to its.
automated liquidity pool, but 4link is here to change all that by
adding a spicier ingredient. Our unique features give a chance to
earn incentives, excellent APYs (Annual Percentage Yields),
and passive income through our seamless token distribution
layers, Decentralized Exchanges Offer Higher Protection from
Potential Security Breaches.By removing the need for custodians to operate the exchange,
and by offering users increased openness and privacy,
decentralized exchanges are a more secure investment option for
cryptocurrency traders. This in turn offers higher protection from
potential security breaches.
4link Yield Farming:
Decentralized finance (Defi) movement has been a major
innovation in the blockchain industry. Vield farming, also referred
to as liquidity mining, is a way to generate rewards with
cryptocurrency holdings. In simple terms, it means locking up
cryptocurrencies and getting rewards Vield farming isa new
concept to earn rewards with crypto currency holdings using
permissionless liquidity protocols. DeFi protocols are
permissionless and can seamlessly integrate with each other. This
means that the entire DeFi ecosystem is heavily reliant on each of
its building blocks. Yield farming can be paralleled with staking,
However, there isa lot of complexity going on in the background
In many cases, it works with users called liquidity providers (LP)
that add funds to liquidity pools.
What is a liquidity pool? Liquidity pool isa smart contract that
contains funds. In return for providing liquidity to the pool,
liquidity providers (LP) get a reward. The reward may come from
fees generated by the underlying DeFi platform, or some other
source. Some liquidity pools pay their rewards in multiple tokensThose reward tokens then may be deposited to other liquidity
pools to earn rewards there, and so on. You can already see how
incredibly complex strategies can emerge quite quickly. But the
basic idea is that a liquidity provider deposits funds into a liquidity
pool and earns rewards in return.Token Distribution:
