📘 DeFi Building Blocks Explained
🔄 AMMs

Automated Market Makers (AMMs) like Uniswap replace traditional order books with liquidity pools, enabling permissionless token swaps 24/7 using smart contracts.

💵 Stablecoins

Algorithmic or collateral-backed stablecoins like DAI and USDC maintain a 1:1 peg to fiat currencies, enabling stable value storage within DeFi.

🏦 Lending Protocols

Protocols like AAVE and Compound let users deposit assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral — all without a traditional bank.

⚗ Yield Aggregators

Platforms like Yearn and Convex automatically compound and optimize yield across multiple protocols to maximize returns for depositors.

🪙 Liquid Staking

Lido and Rocket Pool allow users to stake ETH or SOL and receive liquid tokens (stETH, rETH) that can still be used across DeFi.

📜 Smart Contracts

Self-executing code on blockchains that enforces rules without intermediaries — the foundational layer of all DeFi protocols.
