DeFi refers to financial services—lending, borrowing, trading, and earning interest—built on public blockchains like Ethereum using smart contracts instead of banks or brokerages. It removes intermediaries by letting protocols such as Uniswap, Aave, and Compound automate transactions transparently and permissionlessly. Developers, crypto traders, and fintech professionals engage with DeFi to build or use these open financial applications.
