Eight ways into decentralized finance
Start with understanding
One ecosystem.
Eight ways to explore it.
DeFi is not one product. Learn how assets, networks, and applications fit together—and where their risks differ.
01
DeFi Assets
Learn what tokens represent, what backs them, and how an exit works.
Explore the guide02
DeFi Trading
Build a plan around asset identity, execution costs, and the final result.
Explore the guide03
DeFi Bitcoin
Follow native BTC into wrappers, bridges, and added trust assumptions.
Explore the guide04
DeFi Solana
Understand accounts, fee reserves, delegation, and transaction status.
Explore the guide05
DeFi Ethereum
Connect gas, permissions, smart contracts, and Layer 2 workflows.
Explore the guide06
DeFi Crypto
Separate wallet access, token permissions, and recovery responsibilities.
Explore the guide07
DeFi Swaps
Read price impact, slippage limits, and the amount you actually receive.
Explore the guide08
DeFi Staking
Understand rewards, APR versus APY, withdrawal conditions, and risk.
Explore the guideKnow the network
Different chains.
Different questions.
A familiar token symbol does not guarantee the same asset, permissions, or exit route. Start with the network beneath the interface.
Accounts & execution
Solana
Get familiar with asset identifiers, SOL fee reserves, transaction status, and the difference between delegation and lending.
Explore Solana DeFiSmart contracts & layers
Ethereum
Understand what a contract does, how gas is charged, and which costs and dependencies remain when you move to Layer 2.
Explore Ethereum DeFiUnderstand the mechanics
Look beyond the headline number.
A quote is not a final receipt. An advertised rate is not a guaranteed return. Make room for the details that change the outcome.
DeFi swaps
The price is only
part of the picture.
See how trade size, liquidity, slippage settings, and separate network costs influence the exchange. Learn what “minimum received” actually tells you.
QuoteReviewVerify
Understand swapsDeFi staking
Ask what makes
the yield possible.
Separate network staking from lending and liquidity incentives. Understand how rewards are calculated, what can change, and how a position is unwound.

Practical frameworks, plain-language explanations, and worked examples. Read for understanding—not trading signals.
A DeFi wallet security checklist: permissions, signatures, and recovery
Separate wallet connections from spending permissions, inspect signature requests, and prepare an incident plan without exposing recovery secrets.
DeFi swaps: slippage, price impact, and minimum received
Use a worked example to separate price impact from slippage tolerance and understand what a minimum-received setting actually protects.
DeFi staking explained: APR, APY, rewards, and exit risk
Separate network staking from lending and incentives, compare APR with APY, and include token price, fees, and withdrawal conditions.
Before anything moves
Your wallet. Your permissions.
Your questions to ask.
Connecting a wallet, approving a spender, and signing a transaction are different actions. Understand the authority you are granting before you continue.

Questions, clearly answered.
Start with the mechanics. Keep the limits in view.
What is DeFihi.com?
DeFihi.com is an independent educational resource covering DeFi assets, trading mechanics, networks, swaps, and staking. The DeFihi Lab brings these topics together in ten long-form guides.
Can I trade or connect a wallet here?
No. This website does not connect wallets, execute trades, accept deposits, or hold assets. Its links lead to educational pages and clearly identified source material.
Are staking, lending, and liquidity provision the same?
No. They can involve different reward sources, responsibilities, and exit conditions. Start with the staking overview and the liquidity-pool guide to compare the mechanisms.
Why do the guides avoid live yields and token rankings?
A live quote or rate requires current, product-specific context. These guides focus on durable evaluation methods and label invented numerical examples as hypothetical. They do not tell you what to buy.
Where should a beginner start?
Begin with DeFi assets, then learn wallet permissions and recovery. Read the relevant network guide before moving on to swaps or staking.
