Explore the world of decentralized finance with educational resources, protocol guides, and security best practices tailored for Vietnam.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) refers to financial services built on blockchain networks, operating without traditional intermediaries like banks.
All transactions and smart contracts are visible on the blockchain, providing complete transparency about how protocols operate.
Anyone with an internet connection can access DeFi services without needing approval from a central authority.
Reduced intermediaries mean lower fees, faster settlements, and 24/7 operation without traditional banking hours.
DeFi protocols can be combined together like building blocks, creating new financial products and opportunities.
Understanding these fundamental concepts will help you navigate the DeFi ecosystem.
Smart contracts that facilitate token swaps using mathematical formulas instead of traditional order books. Users provide liquidity and earn fees.
Example: Uniswap, SushiSwap
Collections of cryptocurrency locked in smart contracts that users trade against. Liquidity providers earn a portion of trading fees.
Risk: Impermanent loss
Holding cryptocurrency in a wallet or smart contract to support network operations and earn rewards. Essential for Proof-of-Stake networks.
Reward: Annual percentage yield (APY)
Depositing cryptocurrency into DeFi protocols to earn yield through trading fees, interest, or governance tokens.
Risk: Smart contract risks
Self-executing code on the blockchain that automates financial agreements without intermediaries. The foundation of all DeFi.
Key: Audit security
Tokens that give holders voting rights in protocol decisions. Allow decentralized community governance of DeFi platforms.
Use: Protocol development

DeFi offers opportunities but comes with important risks. Always prioritize security and education.
Code vulnerabilities can lead to loss of funds. Check audit reports and community reputation before depositing significant amounts.
Cryptocurrency prices fluctuate significantly. Impermanent loss can occur in liquidity pools during price swings.
Phishing, rug pulls, and fake projects are common. Verify URLs, check contract addresses, and research projects thoroughly.
If your private key is compromised, your funds can be stolen permanently. Never share keys or recovery phrases with anyone.
Some pools have low liquidity, making it difficult to exit positions without significant slippage and losses.
Cross-chain bridges carry additional risks. Research bridge security and reputation before using for large transfers.
