Share: If any part of the blockchain industry is currently seeing a moment of popularity, it is the DeFi sector. Decentralized finance, or DeFi as it is commonly called, leverages blockchain technology and smart contracts to execute various financial transactions such as the procuring of loans and the trading of assets without the need for a middle man. DeFi has become immensely popular in the last few years with billions of dollars being locked on various DeFi platforms and with more spaces for DeFi popping up seemingly every week. This has meant that investors are more willing and excited to invest in DeFi projects that show great potential.
