Over the past few years, decentralized finance (DeFi) has become one of the most popular use cases in the crypto ecosystem. Briefly put, DeFi is a form of financial software built on top of the blockchain, with the potential to widen the scope and accessibility of financial services for everyone.
There are no third parties or paperwork required to make purchases, transfers, or transactions with DeFi. As a result, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is able to bypass Central Banks and other institutions that serve as barriers in the traditional banking system because it is based on secure distributed ledgers.
Two exciting and promising tokens to look out for in the DeFi space are Polkadot (DOT) andParody (PARO)coin.
Data and assets can be transferred between any two blockchains using Polkadot, a cross-blockchain protocol. Polkadot aims to achieve high levels of security and scalability by combining multiple blockchains. Staking DOT tokens can be used to secure the network or connect (bond) new chains to the current one.
Unrelated blockchains can securely communicate with each other using Polkadot, allowing value or data to flow between, for example, the Ethereum and Bitcoin blockchains. Parallel blockchains (also known as parachains) are used to alleviate the processing burden on the main blockchain, making it faster and more scalable.
Staking and governance tokens are the two primary roles of the Polkadot (DOT) token in the Polkadot network. DOT is used to verify transactions and issue new DOT tokens, and DOT holders have a say in future protocol development. DOT rewards can be earned by staking and participating in the network
