Decentralized Finance is an emerging technology in which all finance are based on distributed ledger as such in crypto currency.
As Now you have any financial transaction a centralized power like bank and development authority works have control over it.
For example if you deposit a sum of amount in bank then bank will give you interest on you amount deposited.
The person who have deposited the money didn’t have any idea about where their money has gone. May bank lends that to someone at higher interest rates that banks are paying you, but Defi all the transaction have clear transaction record and available to all. For example “A” have 100 USDT and “A” want to invest and earn some income from it and “B” have a 1 Unit of Bitcoin and “B” wants to some in mortgage of their bitcoin.
In this case “A” will earn interest on their USDT and will USDT in mortgage of Bitcoin.
How does D1efi Works :-
Defi works on use of blockchain , that is based on Ethereum in many Defi operation. By the help of smart contract Defi model work on Ethereum based blockchain . A smart contract is a application runs on a blockchain. Smart contract had distributed ledger and encrypted with cryptographics encryption.
Actually it define the term and condition for execution of a given operation. Instead of central authority , smart contract are used to perform the financial transaction that is specified in contract.
Crypto currency are hold smart contract that is sent from one person to another as specified.
In Defi modal it uses smart contract this process empower the individual user.
