Introduction
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is the fastest growing trend in crypto. Considered a revolutionary movement rather than a single service, DeFi is beginning to establish itself as a legitimate global financial tool.
The term Decentralized Finance refers to financial applications that exist on the blockchain. Traditional financial services, such as banking and commerce, all rely on a centralized body acting as an intermediary for all operations. DeFi aims to become a completely decentralized alternative to these services.
Just a few years ago, blockchain technology was used only for asset transfers and exchanges. It had no significant impact on the greater financial world. Now, thanks to DeFi, blockchain technology is beginning to transform almost all aspects of finance. Lending, trading, asset management, and more is now possible on the blockchain and the popularity of DeFi applications is on the rise.
Between mid-2019 and the end of 2020 the total value locked in DeFi applications rose by 3,000 percent from USD 500 mln to USD 15 bln! It is possible to see real-time valuations and track the growth of all DeFi applications through sites such as Defipulse.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) – how it started
The journey began in 2014 with the advent of Ethereum. Its proposition was to create a smart contract platform allowing people to build any type of application on the blockchain. This gave rise to a multitude of new possibilities and DeFi was one of them.
As soon as the Ethereum blockchain went live in 2015, people began building applications on top of it, known as Decentralized Apps (DApps). The advantage of creating a DApp is that once it is implemented onto the blockchain, it inherits all its features – for example, being open source, difficult to manipulate and having no central control.
DApps can be implemented for everyday use in the same way as any digital app. Initially, popular use-cases for DApps were games, art, music and voting platforms. But after some time, people began looking at other financial applications and started creating DApps for lending, trading, brokerage, insurance and asset management. These applications were dawn of what we now call DeFi.
Ethereum remains the blockchain of choice for most DeFi apps. Competing chains, like EOS and Solana, have also developed DeFi projects within their ecosystems and may provide viable alternatives in the future. Some of the most popular use-cases for DeFi applications currently operating within the Ethereum ecosystem are decentralized exchanges, money markets, yield farming and price oracles.
