The decentralized finance is based on the concept of blockchain where information in the system is safe and stored in every block in the blockchain. The blockchain protected by end-to-end encryption cryptographically is a distributed ledger of information assigned in different blocks across its network. The network offers a platform where transaction is safe and transparent without any hindrance by a third party, the network through cryptography produces its (crypto)currency for the maintenance of its network.
