How this works
In order to explain how this works, we will first cover several fundamental concepts.
De-Fi
Decentralized Finance
Stablecoin
Digital currency designed to peg to a “stable” reserve asset
Yield Farming
Liquidity Mining
De-Fi
Decentralized FinanceDeFi stands for “Decentralized Finance”. It is “a system by which financial products become available on a public decentralized blockchain network, making them open to anyone to use”1, geared towards disrupting financial intermediaries such as banks or brokerages.
It is the backdrop of the stage, and stablecoins are the main players.
Yield Farming
Yield farming, also referred to as liquidity mining, is the practice of generating high returns by providing liquidity to facilitate transactions with your crypto holdings.
Popular yield farming protocols include Aave, Compound, and Uniswap.
Stablecoin
Unlike tokens such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin, a stablecoin is a digital currency that is designed to peg to a “stable” reserve asset like the U.S. dollar.
There are several types of stablecoins, such as fiat-backed, crypto-collateralized, and algorithmic stablecoins. Popular ones include USDT, USDC, DAI and UST and they all maintain a 1:1 ratio to the U.S. dollar (read more).
