Overview
Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is a financial infrastructure built on blockchain, and it is gaining increasing popularity with almost USD 55 billion deployed into it. Developers build DeFi applications on smart-contract-based platforms. They remove the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks, insurers, exchanges and asset managers.
