Hyeob Kim, Min-Su Kim, Hyuk-Jun Kwon

Abstract


In this study, we focused on the decenterization, innovation, interoperability, and transparency that blockchain technology brings in the financial services sector. Decentralized financial services powered by blockchain technology can leverage virtual assets to expand the scope of financial services and create new business opportunities while encouraging innovation in financial services. Based on the understanding of the concept of De-Fi, we will look at the need for technology and major use cases, and look at future challenges. This will help us understand the vision of developing new technologies for innovation, while identifying the potential as new areas of fintech services.
