DeFi Projects

The protocols themselves: lending markets, decentralised exchanges, yield systems and the infrastructure they depend on. Our coverage explains what a protocol actually does in plain English before it explains why anyone is excited about it, and it treats the risk profile as the main event rather than a disclaimer. Yield in particular gets scepticism as standard, because a return is payment for taking a risk somebody else did not want, and the honest question is always which risk. Where a headline figure depends on assumptions that could break, we say so. See our DeFi and smart contracts hub for the fundamentals, and never approve a transaction you do not understand.
