Gone are the days, when crypto investors passively held their crypto without earning any rewards. In today's day and age in crypto, we have DEFI applications that give yields and rewards to crypto investors for depositing their crypto into DEFI protocols to provide liquidity to swap pairs, or lending their crypto and earning interests.
This DEFI age began trending in 2020 with DEFI protocols like Compound, Uniswap, Aave in the early days, now of course we know there are hundreds of DeFI protocols across Blockchains. One such new age DEFI Super App that's now an active parachain in Polkadot Blockchain is Parallel Finance.
