The quest for a decentralized finance system has been been in motion and accepted by a lot of people all around the world as it is seen as a huge step to the future in the financial world.

The decentralization of the finance system is aimed at bringing about an efficient and open financial system to anyone.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) uses blockchain technology and smart contracts to create an automated workflow for the validation and execution of financial transactions.

This move is to take out any central authority overseeing financial transactions and let the smart contracts written on the blockchain carry out the whole process.

In the traditional finance system, the banks and other companies that provide financial services to customers tend to operate in a way that does not always please the customers.

The process and protocols that are followed before a single transaction gets processed can be frustrating to the customers sometimes.

A bunch of paper works to fill, a time-consuming verification process just to mention a few. This decentralization also takes out any extra charge or minimum balance fee.

With decentralized finance customers are often anonymous without the need for personal information unlike in traditional finance where a bunch of personal and financial information is needed before you take out a loan or other financial transactions.

In a decentralized financial system, the need for all this information is not needed to perform certain financial transactions with only the need for internet access and a crypto wallet.

Is the quest still on?

While decentralized finance brings efficiency, security, flexibility to the financial system, the lack of regulations of the DeFi industry has made it risky and open to scams.

This has made a lot of people skeptical about the future and possibilities of a decentralized financial system.

A couple of DeFi apps got launched after the global reach and acceptance of the DeFi industry to help make these new decentralized features and services in the financial industry accessible to everyone around the world.

Some of these apps use weak protocols which makes them prone to scams.

In the last year, over 10 billion dollars of investors and users' money were lost from different DeFi platforms to scammers.

The volatility of cryptocurrencies has made quite some investors or potential investors not invest in the DeFi space.

The concept of DeFi has been adopted into many industries such as art, music, sports, and real estate.

There is without a doubt that the quest for a decentralized financial system is not far from happening. I do believe that DeFi is here to revolutionize the way we participate in financial transactions.
