Lecture 2: How DeFi Works (Real-World Examples)
#DeFi runs on smart contracts (programs) on #Blockchains like #Ethereum
Example:
1⃣ You deposit 1 ETH into a lending app.
2⃣ The smart contract locks your ETH safely.
3⃣ Someone else borrows your $ETH and pays you 5% interest automatically.
Popular DeFi Apps:
1⃣ Uniswap = Swap tokens (like a decentralized exchange)
2⃣ Aave = Lend or borrow crypto
3⃣ Curve = Trade stablecoins with low fees
4⃣ MakerDAO = Borrow DAI (a stablecoin) against your crypto
Smart contracts = Trust the code, not people.
