Decentralized Finance (DeFi) leverages blockchain technology to eliminate the control of banks over financial services, providing real-time, transparent transactions where users maintain custody of their assets. While DeFi offers significant benefits, such as programmability and security, it also presents risks including technological immaturity, lack of consumer protection, high collateral requirements, and the need for secure private key management. As the DeFi landscape evolves, users must navigate these advantages and challenges carefully.

- 1. How can we get benefited by DeFi?
- 2. What Is Decentralized Finance (DeFi)? Decentralized finance (DeFi) is an arising monetary innovation in view of secure appropriated records like those utilized by digital currencies. The framework eliminates the control banks and establishments have on cash, monetary items, and monetary administrations.
- 3. The basics of DeFi DeFi uses a combination of existing blockchain-related technologies — such as digital assets, wallets, smart contracts and auxiliary services including oracles — to create a financial ecosystem capable of bypassing banks, brokers, exchanges and the other middlemen who traditionally manage and process financial services.
- 4. The benefits of DeFi ● Transactions are in real time. The underlying blockchain is updated the moment a transaction is completed, and interest rates are updated multiple times every minute. ● Transactions are transparent. Every transaction on the Ethereum blockchain, which accounts for more than 90 percent of all DeFi traffic, is broadcast to and verified by other users on the network. This level of transaction data transparency ensures any user can view network activity. ● Users can retain custody of their assets using non-custodial crypto wallets or via smart contract-based escrow. ● Smart contracts are highly programmable and can be designed to automatically execute, based on an infinite number of variables. ● DeFi data is tamper proof, secure and auditable, thanks to the use of blockchain architecture.
- 5. The risks of DeFi ● DeFi technology is immature and has yet to be fully stress-tested at scale over an extended period. Funds may be lost or put at risk. The DeFi platform Compound, for example, suffered a serious glitch recently during which customers were accidentally sent millions of dollars of crypto. ● A lack of consumer protection. DeFi has thrived in the absence of rules and regulations. But this means users often have little or no protection when things go wrong. No state-run reimbursement schemes cover DeFi and there are no laws enforcing capital reserves for DeFi service providers. ● Hackers are a threat. While hacking is also a risk in traditional finance, DeFi’s extended technological architecture, with multiple points of potential failure, increases the so-called attack surface available to sophisticated hackers.
- 6. ● Collateral requirements are high. Nearly all DeFi lending transactions require collateral of at least 100 percent of the value of the loan, if not more. These requirements vastly restrict eligibility for many types of DeFi loans. ● Private key requirements. With DeFi and cryptocurrency, users must secure the wallets used to store cryptocurrency assets. This is an important requirement for both individual private investors and institutional investors using multi-signature wallets. Private keys, which are long, unique codes known only to the wallet’s owners are used to do this. If a private investor loses their key, for example, they lose access to their funds forever.
