Decentralized finance

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is considered a relatively new type of investing in digital assets worldwide. However, this did not prevent the DeFi sector from showing tremendous growth.

Especially, DeFi’s rise in popularity has come in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, the decentralized finance market grew steadily, adding several billion dollars every month.

Today, the DeFi sector is considered one of the most promising and profitable investments as everyone can use the DeFi services regardless of where they are. According to this article, the DeFi sector used to be relatively small compared to the scale of the cryptocurrency market. But, in 2021, it has grown significantly and attracted many traders and investors. So, what does make DeFi so appealing, and what prospects are for DeFi in 2022?

What is DeFi?

Decentralized Finance or DeFi is the system owing to which financial products become available on the public decentralized blockchain network. The main goal of decentralized finance is to change the banking sector and the traditional technologies to open-source protocols.

DeFi allows investors to use its products without the necessity of intermediaries or third parties. In contrast to a bank or brokerage, it doesn’t require providing a government-issued ID, Social Security number, or proof of address to use the DeFi services.

Thus, the DeFi industry could provide a lot of its users with access to decentralized loans and new investment platforms, as well as the opportunity to get passive income from DeFi tokens.

Nowadays, many projects of decentralized finance are based on the Ethereum blockchain, and the number of new apps in the field of DeFi is constantly growing.

A characteristic feature of DeFi products is that it doesn’t have centralized management and shortcomings such as slow transactions, intermediaries (banks, brokerage), the necessity to pass verification, and provide information about income sources.

Interaction through DeFi is based on smart contracts. It is an algorithm in the blockchain that is in charge of compliance by the parties with the terms of the contract.

DeFi Investments

There currently exist thousands of DeFi projects, so it is quite challenging to differentiate between long-term DeFi platforms and scammers. Commonly, if a project promises high returns for doing nothing (often called frictionless yield farming), it’s probably a pyramid scheme that doesn’t have long-term potential.

Therefore, it is advisable to select DeFi tokens with high liquidity and large amounts of cryptocurrency staked on the platform. As a rule, the smaller the market cap a token holds, the higher risk is to invest in this digital asset.

Here are some promising DeFi tokens with great growth potential over the long term:

  • Aave
  • Uniswap
  • DeFi Pulse Index
  • Curve
  • Yearn.finance
