Deep dives
Decentralized Finance vs. Traditional Banking
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms like Aave are designed to democratize finance by providing users with a permissionless way to lend and borrow assets without relying on traditional banking institutions. Aave uses smart contracts to ensure transparent, resilient, and efficient transactions, making it an attractive alternative to banks. This platform allows users to supply various cryptocurrencies, earning interest while also having the ability to borrow against their assets, a functionality that traditional banks often do not provide. By leveraging blockchain technology, Aave aims to address the fragmented nature of financial services, offering a more consistent and equitable financial infrastructure for users.
