What is DeFi?
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) refers to financial applications built on blockchain networks that operate without traditional intermediaries like banks or brokers. DeFi protocols enable lending, borrowing, trading, and yield generation through smart contracts — automated programs that execute when conditions are met.
Major DeFi tokens include Uniswap (UNI), the governance token for the largest decentralized exchange; Aave (AAVE), a lending and borrowing protocol; Chainlink (LINK), which provides real-world data to smart contracts; and MakerDAO (MKR), which governs the DAI stablecoin system.
The total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols exceeds $100 billion, making it one of the most important sectors in crypto. AltcoinSignal provides real-time price tracking for all major DeFi tokens.
