WHAT IS DeFi, AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) uses blockchain-based applications to provide financial services such as token swaps, lending, and borrowing.

But decentralization doesn't mean risk-free.

⚠️ Smart contracts can contain vulnerabilities.
⚠️ Token prices can change sharply.
⚠️ Some protocols face liquidity and governance risks.

Before using a DeFi platform, research its security, liquidity, token economics, and track record.
