Decentralized Finance has evolved from basic lending protocols to complex multi-chain ecosystems. Through algorithmic stablecoins, automated market makers (AMMs), and cross-chain liquidity provision, we're witnessing a reimagining of traditional finance in a trustless environment.
DeFi 2.0 Key Components
The second generation includes:
- Layer 2 Liquidity Solutions
- Automated Yield Aggregation
- Cross-Chain Bridges
- On-Chain Governance DAOs
Financial Applications
Lending Platforms: Algorithmic interest rate models and fractional reserved markets.
Stablecoin Systems: Hybrid collateral approaches maintaining peg stability.
Yield Optimization: Multi-strategy vaults and risk-adjusted return maximization.
DeFi Lending Contract
// Solidity Example
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
contract DeFiLending {
mapping(address => uint) public deposits;
event DepositMade(address user, uint amount);
event InterestAccrued(address user, uint interest);
uint public interestRate = 0.05e18; // 5% annual
function deposit() public payable {
require(msg.value > 0, "Deposit must be greater than 0");
deposits[msg.sender] += msg.value;
emit DepositMade(msg.sender, msg.value);
}
function calculateInterest() public {
uint principal = deposits[msg.sender];
uint interest = (principal * interestRate) / 1e18;
emit InterestAccrued(msg.sender, interest);
}
}
