What are DeFi Dapps?
DeFi Dapps are decentralized applications built on blockchain networks that facilitate financial services without traditional intermediaries. This category includes tools and platforms for lending, borrowing, trading, yield farming, staking, and liquidity provision. Developers and product teams use these dapps to create, integrate, or interact with decentralized financial protocols that enable peer-to-peer transactions and programmable money.
Primary use cases involve enabling users to access financial products such as decentralized exchanges (DEXs), automated market makers (AMMs), lending pools, and synthetic assets. Target users include DeFi developers, protocol builders, and end-users seeking transparent and permissionless financial services. Key characteristics of DeFi Dapps include smart contract-driven operations, composability with other protocols, and reliance on blockchain consensus for security and transparency.
Subcategories often overlap with infrastructure tools like oracles and cross-chain interoperability solutions. Developers should explore DeFi Dapps when building or integrating financial features that require decentralization, trustlessness, and direct user control over assets.
