Why DeFi Value?

DeFi’s projects enable anyone from anywhere to borrow, lend, get insurance or invest in digital assets without intermediaries. DeFi includes protocols, smart contracts, digital assets and dApps (Decentralized Applications) built on a blockchain. DeFi technologies enable users to be part of a trustless, transparent and global network.

As of beginning of March 2020 the total locked value in DeFi projects is ca. 950m USD and in March 2019 was ca. 350m USD and it’s expected to grow in the near future.

The popularity of DeFi movement started with the diffusion of MakerDAO, a platform that generates a stablecoin (DAI), projected to solve one of the biggest problem of cryptocurrencies: the volatility. Today a growing ecosystem of protocols, applications, digital assets, and innovative decentralized solutions is built around DAI and they are the base of a new financial system.

In the last year I’ve been exploring different DeFi projects, analyzing their technology, the use-cases and their investment potential by evaluating their expected returns and risk in order to make conscious investments using the basic principles of the value investing.

Most DeFi projects are relatively new, the ecosystem is evolving quickly, and many applications are getting traction in the space. Many users are exploring DeFi projects as an alternative investment opportunity.

Some of the projects are not created as an investment tool but they are still providing a value for the ecosystem driving the space to a maturity. Most of the projects are evolving, defining their ideal use-case, fixing their limitations, increasing their security and finding their role into the DeFi world.

This quickly evolution leads to uncertainty and often it’s not easy to have a clear and defined overview of the DeFi projects and the whole industry. The first step into this space for a non-crypto user might be difficult without the proper information and resources. For this reason I’ve decided to create this newsletter. The goal is to provide users with tools and framework to understand and evaluate DeFi projects.

With DeFi Value we are going to analyze the technology behind the main projects, investment strategies, discuss trends, learn how to use them, and make long-term forecast in order to understand the potential and risks as an alternative investment opportunity.
