What is DeFi?
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) refers to financial services built on blockchain technology, operating without traditional intermediaries like banks.
Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs)
DEXs allow you to trade cryptocurrencies directly with other users without a centralized intermediary.
Popular DEXs you'll learn about:
âĸ SushiSwap: Community-driven multi-chain DEX
âĸ Uniswap: Leading Ethereum DEX
âĸ PancakeSwap: Top DEX on BNB Chain
How DEXs Get Their Liquidity
Liquidity pools are collections of tokens locked in smart contracts that enable trading on DEXs.
Example: If you deposit $1000 worth of tokens into a pool with 0.3% fee, you earn a portion of every trade.
Understanding Trading Costs
Trading Fees: A small percentage charged on each trade (typically 0.05% - 0.3%)
Slippage: The difference between expected price and execution price
Take Your Knowledge Further
Concentrated Liquidity: Focus liquidity in specific price ranges for higher capital efficiency
Impermanent Loss: Potential loss from price changes when providing liquidity
Yield Farming: Earning rewards by providing liquidity to protocols
