Blockchain Glossary

DeFi (Decentralized Finance)

Financial services built on public blockchains using smart contracts instead of traditional intermediaries. DeFi reimagines lending, trading, and liquidity — and must now align with AML, KYC, and investor-protection rules.

Web3

A vision of the internet where users can own identities, assets, and data via blockchain-based primitives. Web3 becomes interesting when wallets, UX, and regulation finally work together.

Smart Contracts

Code deployed on a blockchain that automatically executes agreements once predefined conditions are met. They power DeFi and token economies, but raise questions about auditability, bugs, and legal responsibility.

Regulation (MiCA, AML, etc.)

Legal frameworks governing digital-asset services, including MiCA in the EU, AML directives, and local licensing regimes. Architectures must be flexible enough to stay compliant without constant re-platforming.

CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies)

Digital forms of sovereign money issued by central banks. CBDCs sit between monetary policy, privacy, and infrastructure, and will shape how stablecoins, banks, and payment providers connect to public and permissioned rails.

Interoperability

The ability for blockchains, protocols, and apps to exchange value and data securely. It underpins modular DeFi, cross-chain liquidity, and global payment flows — while expanding both opportunity and risk.
