Everyone Wants DeFi!
DeFi or decentralized finance is an innovative technology that has given the financial sector an upgrade. Through DeFi, the sector now uses smart contracts and advanced codes that enables peer-to-peer financial services to users.
Presently, most of the DeFi activities happen in the Ethereum blockchain — followed by Solana, Avalanche, and others. Now, Cardano is finally solidifying its DeFi adoption. In fact, Cardano recently launched its Alonzo mainnet, which allows smart contract functionality.
To conclude, this venture from both EMURGO and Cardano gained praise, especially from the Twitter community where Kodama tweeted about it. The public is excited to see what’s going to happen next. What’s more, some even say they can’t wait to see what the future holds.
