A discussion about DeFi analytics and interoperability
Decentralized Finance (commonly referred to as DeFi) is a blockchain-based form of finance that does not rely on central financial intermediaries such as brokerages, exchanges, or banks to offer traditional financial instruments. DeFi platforms allow people to lend or borrow funds from others, speculate on price movements on a range of assets using derivatives, trade cryptocurrencies, insure against risks, and earn interest in savings-like accounts. As of October 2021, the total value locked in DeFi protocols exceeds $220 billion USD, of which $150 billion USD account for the Ethereum network (source: Defilama).
The first DeFi protocols emerged in 2017 when protocols like MakerDAO and Aave started offering their lending services. However, the utilization of DeFi protocols took several years to develop and has seen immense growth recently. While DeFi is often seen as empowerment of the people, many critics argue that high gas fees and funding by venture capitalists make it a playground for wealthy individuals and financial institutions looking for good returns. At the moment, DeFi is seeing its renaissance as new distributed ledgers with smart contract functionality like Avalanche, Fantom, xDai Chain or Cosmos are entering the market enabling low transaction cost and allowing retail investors to participate in a cost efficient manner. Yet, the constantly expanding DeFi sector can be chaotic and more transparency is necessary to improve the overall user experience and to prevent fraud. In that regard, better analytic tools and market standards can strengthen the trust in the ecosystem and propel the mainstream adoption of blockchain.
Some of the questions to kick off the conversation:
Is the future of DeFi multi-chain or will ETH 2.0 likely dominate in the long-term?
What tools are needed to improve user experience?
Will DeFi be regulated and how?
How will DeFi shape the financial system in underbanked countries? And will this have spillover effects on first-world countries?
