What is "Defi"?
Decentralized finance is what crypto actually does once you have the keys and the chains figured out: lend an asset, stake it, swap it, supply it to a pool, borrow against it, route it across an L2 for cheaper gas. Posts here cover the practical side for everyday self-custodial users, not the on-chain quant trading desk. What the major DeFi categories actually do, which protocols are worth using, and how to do it from inside the Zypto multi-chain wallet without bouncing between five interfaces.
