Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is an ecosystem of financial applications built on the blockchain. It replaces traditional intermediaries (banks, exchanges) with autonomous and transparent protocols, available 24/7.
Pillars of DeFi
DEX (Exchanges)
Asset exchange without centered order books, using automated liquidity pools (AMM).
Lending & Borrowing
Lending and borrowing assets in a collateralized manner, without passing through a credit committee.
Stablecoins
Assets linked to a fiat currency (Euro, Dollar) to ensure transfer stability.
On-chain Capital Efficiency
Institutional DeFi
For banks, DeFi does not mean anonymity. Institutional DeFi combines the power of code with strict compliance layers (KYC/AML) at the protocol level.
Permissioned Pools
Institutions can create private liquidity pools where only verified and identified participants are authorized to exchange, ensuring total regulatory security.
Convergence with RWA
The future of finance lies in using Real World Assets (RWA) as collateral in DeFi. A tokenized bond can serve as collateral to borrow stablecoins in seconds, optimizing capital usage.
Liquid Staking
Optimizing yield from assets locked in securing the network.
Interoperability
Seamless transfer of value between traditional and digital markets.
