$ETH
- Settlement Layer: This is the core foundation of the DeFi ecosystem, including the blockchain and its native assets (e.g., ETH on Ethereum, BTC on Bitcoin). This layer is responsible for securely storing information about ownership and ensuring that all transactions comply with the network's rules.
- Asset Layer: This layer includes all assets issued on the blockchain, including native assets (ETH) and other tokens such as stablecoins (USDT, DAI), governance tokens (UNI, AAVE), or derivative tokens. This is an important component that helps expand the ecosystem and create various use cases in DeFi.
- Protocol Layer: This is the layer that provides standards and foundations for DeFi applications, playing a crucial role in the ecosystem. It includes DEXs (Uniswap, SushiSwap) for decentralized asset trading, lending and borrowing markets (Aave, Compound) for automated lending, derivative trading (dYdX, Synthetix) for futures and synthetic assets, as well as asset management (Yearn Finance, Balancer) to optimize profits. These protocols are implemented as smart contracts, highly interactive, contributing to the expansion of the DeFi ecosystem.
- Application Layer: This is the interface layer that allows users to directly connect with DeFi protocols through applications such as blockchain wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet), transaction aggregation platforms (1inch, Matcha), and asset management tools (Zapper, DeBank). This layer simplifies the process of using DeFi, allowing users to interact with smart contracts without needing to deeply understand the underlying technology.
- Aggregation Layer: expands the functionality of the application layer by optimizing the user experience.
