The decentralized finance sector continues to delight investors with huge returns in 2021. However, the top in terms of profitability assets from this area are new projects, and many of them are not based on Ethereum. According to the analytical platform Messari, the absolute leaders in terms of profitability in the sector for the first quarter of 2021 were CAKE and LUNA coins with a yield of 3,031 and 2,784 percent, respectively.
By tradition, let’s start with an explanation. The decentralized finance or DeFi industry offers services to users that do not need intermediaries to operate. In essence, these are smart contracts that treat all customers on an equal footing. To interact with them, it is enough to have a cryptocurrency wallet and coins on the account: in the case of Ethereum, we are talking about ETH.
Thanks to decentralized finance, anyone can, for example, exchange coins for others, take out a loan or lend money to earn interest. Well, since the niche is decentralized, there will be no problems in using services due to place of residence, political views or the amount of income. In addition, users do not have to present various documents, as it happens in banks.
The niche gained massive popularity in the summer of 2020. Then investors actively invested money in new projects, which turned into a huge increase in the value of assets and profits. The DeFi industry is now running on more than just Ethereum. The Binance Smart Chain, also known as BSC, has been actively developed. It attracts users with low commissions and speed of work.
For example, a few cents are enough to swap on decentralized exchanges based on BSC.
