Finance, the cornerstone of global economies, has witnessed a paradigm shift with the advent of cryptocurrencies. In the crypto realm, decentralized finance (DeFi) and centralized finance (CeFi) represent two distinct approaches. DeFi leverages blockchain technology to provide financial services without traditional intermediaries, offering accessibility and inclusivity. Meanwhile, CeFi relies on centralized entities like banks and exchanges, providing similar but less autonomous services.
Within DeFi, TradFi, or traditional finance, emphasizes trading platforms, enabling users to exchange various crypto assets swiftly. DeFi platforms offer decentralized applications (DApps) promoting financial activities like lending, borrowing and yield farming, all governed by smart contracts.
