DECENTRALIZED FINANCE (DEFI) GLOSSARY

Bitcoin
(BTC). The original, largest and best-known cryptocurrency.

A digital asset that can be used as a store of value or a medium of exchange for goods and services. Transactions are verified and recorded using cryptography by a distributed network of participants, rather than a centralized authority such as a bank or government agency.
Coin
A colloquial term for a cryptocurrency.
Defi
Short for decentralized finance. Finance is traditionally centralized because it relies on trusted intermediaries. For example, if you want to send money to a friend or relative, you rely on your bank to send it to the recipient’s bank. DEFI, on the other hand, requires no intermediaries. Participants can send and receive assets directly. In theory, this makes transactions faster and cheaper.
