It aims to explain the technical details to a broad audience and to introduce the financial protocols that the DeFi ecosystem builds upon. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive overview and classification of DeFi. But financial institutions and regulators dealing with DeFi need just such a systematic evaluation of these factors. However, DeFi introduces enormous technological and economic complexity that makes it increasingly difficult to assess the risks and potential of DeFi financial products. The fact that DeFi components can be programmed may open up new possibilities for more competitive financial markets, and could bring efficiency gains. Decentralised finance (DeFi) builds on distributed ledger technologies (DLT) to offer services such as trading, lending and investing without using a traditional centralised intermediary. And further that it is often unclear whether specific persons ( founders, developers, owners, consumers, persons offering a user- friendly website for.
Crypto skeptics often respond that DeFi is subject to many risks such as negligent or even intentionally bad coding, hacks, and uncertain legal system risks, among others (trust in platform as opposed to trust in institution). Crypto advocates often assert that such DeFi transactions are therefore “trustless.” These advocates often blame events like the collapse of FTX on fact that FTX was a CeFi enterprise conducting Crypto transactions, and assert that pure peer-to-peer DeFi transactions would not be subject to such risks.
Smart Contracts are programmed to create decentralized applications (dApps) that allow Blockchain participants to engage in financial service transactions on a peer-to-peer basis. DeFi products and services are similar to those offered by CeFi institutions, but as opposed to transactions being executed by employees, agents and computers owned by the CeFi institutions, the DeFi transactions are conducted through the use of Smart Contract capacity on Blockchains like Ethereum, Avalanche and Solana.
This traditional financial system is often distinguished from “DeFi” by using the labels “CeFi” (centralized finance) or “TradFi” (traditional finance). Oversight by government agencies also is intended to enhance trust and confidence ( trust AND verify). These structures are centralized, and necessarily require investors/ customers/ clients to trust them. These institutions are organized as traditional limited liability organizations ( corporations, limited partnerships, LLCs) where investors ( shareholders, partners) delegate management authority to boards ( directors, managers), which in turn delegate execution authority to others ( officers, agents) to accomplish their financial intermediation functions. In our traditional financial system, we look to traditional financial institutions – banks, brokers, insurers, venture capitalists and a myriad of others – to facilitate our needs for savings, investments, risk management and transfers. This is easy to say, but in practice the edges of this defined term are not always clear. DeFi products and services are conducted without a trusted central intermediary such as a bank or a broker. DeFi or “ Decentralized Finance” means a set of newly emerging financial products and services that operate in a decentralized manner using Blockchains to record and share data.
