What is DeFi?
Decentralized Finance recreates banking, lending, and trading without intermediaries. Smart contracts replace banks, automated market makers replace exchanges, and anyone with an internet connection can participate.
The DeFi Landscape
From lending giants like Aave to perpetual DEXes like Hyperliquid, DeFi protocols now manage tens of billions in value and process more volume than many traditional exchanges.
