DeFi: Decentralized Finance

What are DeFi?

Many times, the term is often confused FinTech, mentioned above, with the term DeFi, which we will mention below briefly, as follows:

"Abbreviation for «Decentralized Finance». DeFi is a concept and / or technology that encompasses the use of a broad category of DApps (Decentralized Applications) whose objective is to provide financial services backed by a blockchain, without intermediaries, so that anyone with an Internet connection can take part." Source.

While, broadly, you can define the most important about DeFi, as follows:

"A movement promoting the use of decentralized networks and open source software to create multiple types of financial products and services. The idea is to develop and operate financial DApps on top of a trustless framework, such as permissionless blockchains and other peer-to-peer (P2P) protocols. Therefore, among the many objectives and / or functions, most important within DeFi are to create money banking services, provide peer or pooled lending and borrowing platforms, and enable advanced financial instruments such as DEX, token platforms, markets derivatives and predictions."

DeFi and Open Source

Much could be said about the DeFiHowever, we are not a Blog specialized in this area, but specifically speaking of DeFi y Open Source, it is worth ending with the following comment, in which we can perceive the same positive effect of transparency, security and freedom what does he give us Free Software and Open Source in the technological, but taken to the financial:

All the DeFi as "Open financial ecosystem" allow the construction of small financial tools and services in a decentralized manner on a chain of blocks in such a way that they can be combined, modified and integrated, according to the needs of the users (participating members). While the FinTech promise better and faster management of funds, DeFi offer full control of their own assets thanks to a decentralization complete through the full potential of tecnología blockchain.

This, in turn, also encourages DApps developers work collaboratively to create new financial products, while adopting open source protocols to operate through decentralized exchanges, facilitating the creation of new financial products, more reliable, faster, secure and private on them.

    Stop saying "open source", "open source" and the like if it's not quite that, between that and the tons of clickbait advertising, and articles promoting proprietary software and services.

    Please, for the sake of Free Software.
