Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is an alternative to traditional financial services. More specifically, DeFi consists of smart contracts, which, in turn, power decentralized applications (DApps) and protocols.

Many of the initial DeFi applications were built on Ethereum, and the majority of the ecosystem’s total value locked (TVL) remains concentrated there.

Here are some of the ways people are engaging with DeFi today:

Lending: Lend out your crypto and earn interest and rewards every minute - not once per month.
Getting a loan: Obtain a loan instantly without filling in paperwork, including extremely short-term “flash loans” that traditional financial institutions don’t offer.
Trading: Make peer-to-peer trades of certain crypto assets — as if you could buy and sell stocks without any kind of brokerage.
Saving for the future: Put some of your crypto into savings account alternatives and earn better interest rates than you’d typically get from a bank.
Buying derivatives: Make long or short bets on certain assets. Think of these as the crypto version of stock options or futures contracts.
