DECENTRALIZED FINANCE
Unless you just hiked back on Elon Musks' SpaceX shuttle from Mars, you would have heard of Decentralized Finance, with the ticker DeFi, the next itinerary in the evolution of digital banking that, according to Coinmarketcap already accounts for more than $60 billion in crypto assets, at Q1 2021.
This market had humble beginnings with MakerDAO (MKR) and 0x (ZRX) with a 5 billion market capitalization in 2018, then exploded with Compound COMP and AAVE, and then Uniswap, raking in a 60 billion market capitalization.
In contrast to centralized or traditional banking institutions, DeFi is an electronic financial ecosystem that runs on a smart contract and is fully automated. Utilizing blockchain for Decentralized Finance applications ensures that the technology is accessible to everyone with access to the internet. Also DeFi is a decentralized ecosystem that allows users to control their financial assets without government institutions or banks involved.
DeFi is based on blockchain technologies, 90% Ethereum, which was the first to create and popularize smart contracts – a protocol scheme that enabled contract signers to pay out digital currencies securely, confidentially, and without legal nitty-gritty details. A smart contract includes a set of liabilities and protocols that bring those liabilities to action. DeFi is 10% on other Blockchains like Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot and most recently on Cardano.
The tradability of DeFi is another beneficial characteristic. Through tokenization, DeFi applications can enable you to invest even if you don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars in spare capital, as you can simply purchase tradable tokens that represent a portion of a larger high value investment.
DeFi represents a genuine democratization of finance, differing from the regular Blockchain offering. This is because DeFi applications, (also known Decentralized apps or simply dapps), are able to make new contributions to the global financial sector. They are incredibly versatile, enabling you to perform multiple functions, including borrowing, loaning capital to earn interest, exchanging assets, insurance, storing assets, trading and more.
NON-FUNGIBLE TOKENS
The optimal utilization for use by decentralized applications (dApps) to allow for the creation and ownership of unique digital items and collectibles via NFTs. NFT, short for non-fungible token is a token which represents a unique asset,rare, distinctive(not mutually interchangeable) and of course, secured on the Blockchain cryptographically. NFTs can be traded at exchanges that connect buyers with sellers. In these exchanges, every NFT is unique, and therefore gets its own price.
STUDENT COIN
A brain child of Wojciech, the Student Coin CEO & Founder, from the Kozminski University, a popular business school in Warsaw, Poland Student Coin is the first cryptocurrency directly related to the network of universities that helps in promoting the blockchain values and building the big international community, with the Vision to put tokenization via blockchain into the mainstream, under the guidance of the Student Coin platform.
