This is because many of the services that DeFi deals with – traditional financial services – are already pretty complex and abstract. \n\nFinancial services is a term used for the investment, lending, and management of money and assets.\n\nFor most people, that begins and ends with their bank – the bank looks after your money, you might get loans or mortgages from them, and you may make investments through them too. \n\nThere is one main utility provided by banks, and other providers of financial services: trust.\n\nYou put your money in a bank because you trust their ability to look after it better than you can yourself. You also are putting trust into a legal system that will uphold your rights if that money is not looked after according to the bank’s contractual obligations.\n","606d5304-8f98-4d6b-85e6-75e03882de1e",[35,45],{"id":36,"data":37,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"2f834293-2280-4e09-8175-cd66dc6230f7",{"type":38,"reviewType":25,"spacingBehaviour":20,"binaryQuestion":39,"binaryCorrect":41,"binaryIncorrect":43},11,[40],"What is the main utility provided by banks and other providers of financial services?",[42],"Trust",[44],"Intelligence",{"id":46,"data":47,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"783ef8fe-ebd1-4d6e-9f63-e0ed68000b39",{"type":38,"reviewType":20,"spacingBehaviour":20,"activeRecallQuestion":48,"activeRecallAnswers":50},[49],"What is DeFi an abbreviation of?",[51],"Decentralized Finance",{"id":53,"data":54,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":58},"1b4fce66-ab89-4814-bf4b-1162902b63c6",{"type":20,"title":55,"markdownContent":56,"audioMediaId":57},"The problem with traditional finance","People use financial services providers (let’s just call them ‘banks’, though they aren’t all banks) because they need someone to trust with their money. Traditionally, that means the bank must be a centralized entity – an institution governed by a group of people with complete executive control of its operations.\n\nThis is because for most of history, the only way to ensure trust was to enter into a contract between two legal entities. When you open a bank account, that’s what you do. You enter into a contract with HSBC or Bank of America or whichever other institution you choose.\n\nThe problem with this system is that it puts an incredible amount of power and money into the hands of the centralized entities that govern our financial system. All the transactions made through centralized banks are set up to allow the bank to take a small slice of the pie.\n\nMany individuals would prefer to engage in financial processes – borrowing, lending, investing – in a way that didn’t force them to allow these institutions to take a slice of their money.\n\nThis is the problem that DeFi sets out to solve, by replacing the need for trusted central bodies in financial transactions with a trustless system built on the blockchain. \n","b049dbec-8c30-4462-9e2e-f8f48029c0c2",[59],{"id":60,"data":61,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"04e9f68e-cb63-4cda-948d-ecdeb49bb06f",{"type":38,"reviewType":20,"spacingBehaviour":20,"activeRecallQuestion":62,"activeRecallAnswers":64},[63],"What is the function of DeFi?",[65],"Replacing centralized financial authorities with peer-to-peer transactions",{"id":67,"data":68,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":72},"c286c42b-3309-45dc-b4e4-9ed51da4a374",{"type":20,"title":69,"markdownContent":70,"audioMediaId":71},"Smart contracts ","Most of us use traditional contracts with trusted bodies for managing our finances.

The difference between a smart contract and a traditional contract is that a smart contract is enforced by a computer code on a machine, whereas a traditional contract is enforced by government power. \n\nThe only thing compelling someone to honor a traditional contract is the knowledge that the law could intervene. In a smart contract, the terms are self-executing, with the machine being programmed – visibly, and indisputably – to fulfil its side of the agreement.\n\n","c172fd7d-13ea-4fee-8df5-45940a401ba5",[73],{"id":74,"data":75,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"62104078-fd9d-4c3f-820c-d319eecc4575",{"type":38,"reviewType":76,"spacingBehaviour":20,"clozeQuestion":77,"clozeWords":79},4,[78],"Most of us use traditional contracts with trusted bodies for managing our finances.",[80],"traditional contracts",{"id":82,"data":83,"type":25,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"pages":85},"1cf7651d-5820-498a-aa5c-57f06ee860b2",{"type":25,"title":84},"Smart Contracts and Their Enforcement",[86,104,122,136],{"id":87,"data":88,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":92},"3e5e3ea8-3cc7-47f7-8b7e-d0ce3e413c10",{"type":20,"title":89,"markdownContent":90,"audioMediaId":91},"How smart contracts are enforced","So, why aren’t we all managing our money with smart contracts, and instead making traditional contracts with centralized banks who take much of our capital gains for themselves?\n\nThe answer, once again, is trust. For most of the history of computing, it hasn’t been possible to ensure an incorruptible machine with which to make your smart contract. Therefore you couldn’t be certain that your side of the deal would be paid out, unless there was some legal entity willing to put their name on the other side of the contract. \n\nHowever, in a world where blockchains exist – meaning a trustworthy, impossible-to-tamper-with ledger of information – it becomes possible to create smart contracts that people can trust without the need for a trusted authority backing them up.\n\nFor example, say that you wanted to purchase insurance against rain. Currently, you would purchase this through a company, and after it rains on the agreed-upon date, you’d file a claim to the insurance company documenting the rain. To actually claim your money, you’d need legal proof of rain, and probably weeks of bureaucracy, while the company went through its own protocols for verifying your claim.\n\nIt’s now possible to program a smart contract to point to an “oracle” – an agreed-upon source of information – and write that “if RAIN in AUSTIN on DATE, PAY me AMOUNT.” Assuming this oracle is independent and honest, the moment rain occurs in Austin on January 1st, money appears in my crypto wallet.\n","f6aa1d56-09d2-4b13-ac36-e70f607e7516",[93],{"id":94,"data":95,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"0abea781-2b51-4216-815e-c2d1fdeb7ebb",{"type":38,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":20,"multiChoiceQuestion":96,"multiChoiceCorrect":98,"multiChoiceIncorrect":100},[97],"What is the main reason why we are not using smart contracts for managing our money?",[99],"A lack of trust in technology",[101,102,103],"Lack of software engineers","Lack of resources","Lack of legal proof",{"id":105,"data":106,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":110},"fb6b217f-8464-4db2-98ed-02124d3206b8",{"type":20,"title":107,"markdownContent":108,"audioMediaId":109},"How Blockchain enables DeFi","Blockchain, in its simplest form, allows for a totally transparent ledger of information, that all parties can refer to and no party can change.\n\nThis is the perfect forum for true smart contracts to exist in. People wanting to access financial services can do so directly by making contracts with one another, and those contracts can be automated.\n\nImagine you wanted to lend out some money at a 4% annual interest rate. Many would be interested in doing this, but they aren’t going to spend the money on lawyers to draw up contracts, ratings agencies to establish the creditworthiness of their borrowers, etc. So traditionally, you’d lend that money through a broker – buying government bond perhaps – and in so doing, you’d have to let that broker take a cut.\n\nWith a smart contract, you could guarantee all the same assurances as a broker, and that your money will be paid out. Both the borrower and the lender would benefit in this scenario, as all the traditional middlemen have been taken out.\n\nBlockchain enables this because it takes the place of the trusted third party. Both parties in the agreement can see the smart contract – which is public, readable and auditable – and know that it can’t be changed.","be0e7d93-0281-428b-a60a-0a16cefc6129",[111],{"id":112,"data":113,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"8d6e3895-4391-4ec6-a0d1-527d560865f3",{"type":38,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":20,"multiChoiceQuestion":114,"multiChoiceCorrect":116,"multiChoiceIncorrect":118},[115],"What does blockchain enable in regards to smart contracts?",[117],"It takes the place of the trusted third party",[119,120,121],"It makes it easy for anyone to write a contract","It uses AI to take the place of lawyers","It allows machines to make contracts without human permission",{"id":123,"data":124,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":128},"1b9cc182-735c-415a-a374-770a8040d275",{"type":20,"title":125,"markdownContent":126,"audioMediaId":127},"Collateral in smart loans","Currently, when borrowing or lending money, the borrowers typically put up collateral to secure the loan. When asking for a major loan, for example of $50,000, a bank might ask that you put your house up as collateral. This means that if you don’t pay them back within a reasonable stretch of time, they will take your house. This protects the lender and gives them a guarantee of repayment.\n\n\n![Graph](image://c2eb9b7b-e58d-42b0-8e46-1809e84c7fa9 \"DeFi could drastically simplify the process of taking out a loan\")\n\nHowever, currently, even if a borrower is struggling to pay back a loan, it is hard for the lender to claim the collateral. Typically, collateral needs to be collected through extensive legal action, which can be long and arduous. \n\nThe nature of smart contracts is that they are self-executing, meaning that once the contract has been agreed, the borrower isn’t going to be able to withhold their collateral if the terms are not met. In fact, if the value of the loan exceeds the value of the asset, the smart contract can automatically “liquidate” the asset, simultaneously selling it and paying off the loan.\n\nThis is a significant advantage for anyone wanting to engage in borrowing or lending money – it is a safer bet for the lender, and that can often translate to lower prices for the borrower, since the costs of lawyers to create the contract, and accountants to audit the collateral, goes down.\n\n\n","a403a82e-4ff0-4bca-81cc-95c3040f3ac9",[129],{"id":130,"data":131,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"51a75346-6238-4d29-a259-7c6417e4f282",{"type":38,"reviewType":20,"spacingBehaviour":20,"activeRecallQuestion":132,"activeRecallAnswers":134},[133],"What is a significant advantage of using smart contracts when borrowing or lending money?",[135],"It is a safer bet for the lender, and that can often translate to lower prices for the borrower",{"id":137,"data":138,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":142},"b913acb3-08cc-4ee1-aaa6-a807e9d8cfef",{"type":20,"title":139,"markdownContent":140,"audioMediaId":141},"Smart contracts and insurance","Another financial industry where decentralized finance can be useful is when it comes to insurance. The principle of insurance is that people pay a flat fee so that if a disaster strikes, for example them crashing their car, they will get a payout to compensate for their loss. Fundamentally, insurance is a way of counter-balancing risk.\n\nHowever, a significant issue with current contractual insurance is that claiming a payout can take time. Typically, you have to make a claim using a complicated form, which will then take time. Plus, insurance companies sometimes use that time to try to wriggle out of paying the claim through contractual loopholes.\n\nWith smart contracts relating to insurance, theoretically both sides can trust that the payout will be triggered when the specific conditions are met. This is particularly true when something can be easily verified by a computer. \n\nIn theory, as a result of smart contracts, it is not up to either side to decide whether a payout is appropriate. Moreover, there should be no room for disputes or ambiguity because it occurs automatically. In practice, the integration of real-world information to the blockchain via price oracles is limited, but over time as this data increases, the type and complexity of smart contracts will as well.\n","ea3ed643-d1e3-490d-8b52-d66448e35363",[143],{"id":144,"data":145,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"89b265ae-4216-4d20-a28b-18ddc24fa402",{"type":38,"reviewType":76,"spacingBehaviour":20,"clozeQuestion":146,"clozeWords":148},[147],"Another financial industry where decentralized finance can be useful is insurance.",[149,150],"insurance","decentralized",{"id":152,"data":153,"type":25,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"pages":155},"42c8b88a-0343-409f-92a0-7b5743f6e31f",{"type":25,"title":154},"Applications and Risks in DeFi",[156,174,190,204,222],{"id":157,"data":158,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":162},"74ad3a53-026b-441e-a7fb-b6668ae92865",{"type":20,"title":159,"markdownContent":160,"audioMediaId":161},"Applications in DeFi","So far, we’ve covered some of the major principles of theory behind decentralized finance.

At the moment, many apps in decentralized finance model existing financial institutions like banks, exchanges, or even casinos. However, as Web3 develops and users understand its potential, applications will develop further, eventually including the integration of real-world assets like real estate. \n\nHowever, the technology behind decentralized finance applications is not fully developed yet, so it isn’t fully reliable. Sometimes there can be bugs in the code or vulnerabilities to scammers because the technology is so new. \n\nAs a result, it is important to make sure that the decentralized finance application has been audited and thoroughly tested before trusting it with significant sums of money. Although every investment carries risk, the unique risk associated with contract vulnerabilities is called ‘smart contract risk’ and in some cases, may result in the complete and total loss of assets ‘locked’ in the contract.\n","0d5691c3-7cf2-4fa6-89cb-58e44d9209d3",[163],{"id":164,"data":165,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"5433a27b-e91b-4d2e-a193-bd87935a4b8c",{"type":38,"reviewType":19,"spacingBehaviour":20,"multiChoiceQuestion":166,"multiChoiceCorrect":168,"multiChoiceIncorrect":170},[167],"What is the unique risk associated with contract vulnerabilities in DeFi?",[169],"Smart contract risk",[171,172,173],"Financial risk","Market risk","Investment risk",{"id":175,"data":176,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":180},"979244db-60af-4370-83b1-7c7b7561eeaa",{"type":20,"title":177,"markdownContent":178,"audioMediaId":179},"Staking - locking up assets to earn yield","There are many different ways you can invest in DeFi, but one of the first that you’ll come across is ‘staking.’ Think of this as locking up an asset for a particular amount of time, often called an ‘epoch,’ and being rewarded with some amount of yield. The simplest form of staking is in the validation of the blockchain itself.\n\nFor ‘Proof of Stake’ (PoS) blockchains, a group of people choose to be validators by staking, or locking up, a certain quantity of assets to have the right to implement the chain’s consensus mechanisms, validate the authenticity of new transactions, and package those transactions into a new block to be added to the blockchain. \n\nSince this is a very important job that ensures the integrity of the chain, the staked funds act as an assurance that the validator will act in good faith. If they do this correctly, they’re rewarded. If the validator attempts to cheat or violates the validation rules, their stake is ‘slashed’ and they lose part of their capital as a punishment. This provides an incentive mechanism for proper validation of the blockchain.","c87ff1ba-3274-46a5-811f-57a682485d82",[181],{"id":182,"data":183,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"4112bf5a-674c-4469-b492-aa334e9c791e",{"type":38,"reviewType":25,"spacingBehaviour":20,"binaryQuestion":184,"binaryCorrect":186,"binaryIncorrect":188},[185],"What is the term used for locking up an asset for a particular amount of time in DeFi?",[187],"Staking",[189],"Investing",{"id":191,"data":192,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":196},"9c612d9b-ebeb-4841-9081-86355ff8d81b",{"type":20,"title":193,"markdownContent":194,"audioMediaId":195},"Traditional liquidity","Liquidity may be one of the most important but taken-for-granted parts of our economy.

In order to trade two tokens, for example USDC and ETH, there needs to be a ‘car dealer’ willing to have some of each to enable people to swap. Rather than a single large player like in TradFi, DeFi smart contracts enable anyone to lock up these two assets in a ‘liquidity pool’ and become a ‘liquidity provider’ or LP. As other users swap these assets, they’re deducted automatically from the liquidity pool and the LP takes transaction fees in exchange for providing liquidity.\n\nOf course, this construct means that the pool that may have started with equal amounts of each asset quickly becomes out of balance. As a result, the price of the assets adjusts to compensate for demand. Although being an LP may be lucrative, there are also risks associated with the price movement of the underlying assets called ‘impermanent loss’ that are complex and should not be underestimated.

While decentralized finance is not fully anonymous - you can still see which computers are involved in a transaction - you don’t need to share your full personal details. This differs from existing systems for opening a bank account and taking out a loan, which normally requires giving all of your personal information to the financial institution. \n\nOne benefit of this is that borrowers with poor credit histories or who prefer privacy are able to use decentralized finance. As a result, lenders have been reluctant to provide ‘undercollateralized credit,’ or in other words, any loan that isn’t backed by at least that amount of underlying assets. By ‘overcollateralizing’ loans, the lender ensures that if the collateral’s value declines, they’re able to liquidate (i.e. sell) that asset to pay off the loan. \n\nAnother advantage of decentralized finance is that it largely avoids human error, since humans make mistakes! Whereas normal contracts can be open to subjective legal interpretation, the automatic conditions of smart contracts provide clarity and reliability to relationships.\n","67360783-d562-4562-9f1e-1b692ea0d0be",[264],{"id":265,"data":266,"type":38,"version":20,"maxContentLevel":19},"3fcbd04f-3c5d-4d12-88c4-2a3af5d4ec91",{"type":38,"reviewType":76,"spacingBehaviour":20,"clozeQuestion":267,"clozeWords":269},[268],"One of the reasons why DeFi is used is because it avoids government oversight and regulation.",[270],"DeFi",{"id":272,"data":273,"type":20,"maxContentLevel":19,"version":20,"reviews":277},"1a7179df-9439-4268-91a2-7ae58f23d8ea",{"type":20,"title":274,"markdownContent":275,"audioMediaId":276},"Can people ever trust DeFi?","When it comes to any financial system, there is one key feature upon which all success is predicated: trust.

Will they be able to understand the fact that their money can’t just be “hacked”? \n\nWhen it comes to existing banks like Barclays, HSBC and Santander, people trust that their money is safe because of the fame associated with the brand.
