Don't remind me again today

Decentralized Finance can be roughly divided into several categories:



1. Decentralized Exchanges (DEX): For example, Uniswap, Curve. Users can directly swap tokens on-chain without intermediaries, relying on smart contracts for matching.

2. Lending platforms: such as Aave, Compoundicon. You deposit coins, which is equivalent to providing liquidity and earning interest; others borrowing coins need to collateralize more assets, and the system ensures safety.

3. Stablecoins: such as DAI and USDC. The goal is to peg to the US dollar, providing everyone with a "stable currency" on-chain to reduce the impact of price fluctuations.

4. Derivatives and Synthetic Assets: Platforms like dYdX and Synthetix allow the trading of contracts, leverage, and even simulate assets like gold and U.S. stocks.

5. Yield Aggregators: Yearn and others will automatically help users find the highest yield mining or lending opportunities, acting like a financial manager.

6. Infrastructure: Including oracles (Chainlink), cross-chain bridges, wallets, these are not direct financial management tools, but support the operation of the entire Decentralized Finance ecosystem.

In simple terms, DeFi is about moving traditional finance (exchanges, banks, derivatives markets, financial advisors) onto the blockchain, executing automatically with code, accessible to everyone, without "approval barriers". #币圈趣事分享
