DeFi Benefits - Assignment

(1) Defi empowers the movement of capital freely across the internet in a manner that super charges capital formation and capital growth using new pools of liquidity and value transfers.
(2) Automation of intermediary functions, no middlemen, peer to peer transaction enablement.

Yes, freedom for the good of humanity.

Some other benefits to DeFi is an increase access to financial services and improved liquidity.

Another benefit to DeFi is an increased access to global markets and the ability to create financial instruments.

-Open 24/7/365 days
-Borderless: able to sell products and entities to another country
Transparency of record of transactions, where your money is going. That way banks/ governments can alter transactions
Trustless: Trust the network not companies

Yes, when you give people the tools to create their own financial path to capture value and be rewarded with their services instead of banks taking the majority of the profits from user’s.

  • Trustless
  • No middle man
  • Private
  • Permissionless

As an additional benefit, I would add the possibility to do whatever you want with your investments whenever you like. You can decide to buy or sell and do it immediately, without going through a third party.

I would also add transparency as a huge benefit. While banks do a lot of shenanigans and nothing is public, with DeFi you can check how protocols work and be sure of where the yields are coming from. You can also be certain that no money is created out of thin air.

Certainly the benefits of having a system with self-custody and permissionless trading and transactions has very much demonstrated it’s value in the past few years.

Come up with one more benefit and share it in the forum. Then respond to at least one other benefit from another community member.
Wealth transfer at death could be easy and anonymous. No trust in Probate or executers who may disburse funds in a way the deceased would have wanted.

Musicians have been ripped off by managers, record companies and promoters as long as I can remember. Smart contracts allow musicians to focus on music.

Transparency is huge one. It may not like the goverment, but it makes the coruption go away in many cases, cause all transactions are visible for public.

Perhaps I’ve misunderstood the question and please correct me if I am wrong here.

I understood the question was to provide another benefit other than the three that were discussed in the course which were;

Tech benefits
Monetary benefits
user experience benefits

now the keyword I believe Josh used was to list another benefit and as hew said “maybe I even missed a whole category out”

Therefore I believe what Josh may be referring to as in the category left out which is to be my benefit choice listed below;

Smart Contracts

One of the best features (benefits) of DeFi is smart contracts, which are programmable digital contracts designed to be auto-executed.

These smart contracts can be programmed to perform literally any kind of digital financial transaction involving money and requiring trust.

Hi DNC,

Great answer I believe, which I had to scroll quite some time to find an answer similar to mine. “Smart Contracts” - Programmability

Cross-chain technology has emerged as one of the most recent manifestations of the DeFi movement. It improves interoperability between two independent blockchain networks for better information exchange.

Defi, benefit is fully control over your assets to deploy in several yield or earning adventures …
creating a loan with some collateral with no middleman is a big advantage

Decentralized, no middleman thus no target for bad actors in authority to attack, total custody of your assets, transparency, Smart Contracts.

RocketMan focused me back to the real answer (I think), Smart Contracts!

No state intervention in exchange rate.

From the transparency, you can gain information. All the smart contracts, transaction are live. Are there for anyone to find out… In contrast of Cefi … If someone learn to filter all this inforamtion , the outcome will be etxraordinary
