The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector expands at lightning speed and becomes ever more relevant in the new digital economy. However, as it evolves, some of its initial purposes lose contour and relevancy. One of these now-fading goals is offering broad access to anyone who wants to trade, invest, or deposit assets outside the traditional financial system. This evolution is not user-inflicted in any way. The mechanisms that power the DeFi ecosystem increase in complexity, making the market less approachable for…

One of the beauties of blockchain technology is that it enables the creation of multi-layered worlds. It is similar to our Universe in which countless galaxies contain numerous solar systems, which in turn consist of several planets, each with diverse ecosystems. In turn, these ecosystems follow the same hierarchical scale down to the smallest atom. The possibilities of development are endless. Aragon is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that allows the development and existence of other DAOs within its realm.…

Saying that DeFi is a boom is an understatement, considering the great investments it offers all users. Yes, it's true that many new protocols enter the market with so much zeal but fail before they breathe life into yield farming.
