The Purpose of this Handbook: Provide a Detailed Understanding of DeFi Protocol Development

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) – these are financial applications built on blockchains that operate without centralized intermediaries. They provide open, transparent and accessible financial services to everyone.

DeFi protocols revolutionize traditional financial services by offering decentralized alternatives for lending, borrowing, trading, staking, and many other financial operations. They offer transparency, accessibility, and user control.

Control: User Control

Innovation: Rapid innovation

Composability: Combining protocols
