💡 What If Banks Didn’t Exist?
Imagine you have $100 and want to:
1️⃣ Save it. But banks give you almost zero interest.
2️⃣ Lend it to a friend. But a bank would take a cut if you used them.
3️⃣ Borrow money. But banks decide who qualifies, not you.
Now, imagine a world where you don’t need banks at all. That’s DeFi—short for Decentralized Finance.
Instead of a bank keeping the rules, DeFi runs on code. This code lives on the blockchain and automates everything.
No banks. No middlemen. Just math.
🧐 How Does DeFi Actually Work?
📝 Smart Contracts = Automated Rules
A smart contract is just a robot banker—but one that only follows the rules written in its code.
Example:
You put $100 into a DeFi savings account.
The smart contract automatically pays you interest, with no bank needed.
The code runs 24/7, and nobody can change the rules once it’s live.
💡 Think of a vending machine:
You put in money.
The machine follows the rules without needing a cashier.
You get your snack.
Smart contracts work the same way—but for money.
🔥 What Can You Do with DeFi?
✅ Lend & Earn Interest → Just like a bank, but the interest is yours, not the bank’s.
✅ Borrow Crypto → No credit check. Just put up some crypto as collateral.
✅ Trade Crypto Without a Broker → No middleman. Just a decentralized exchange (DEX).
✅ Stake or Provide Liquidity → Get paid for helping the network run.
💡 DeFi lets you control your money instead of a bank.
