what's DeFiChain?
DeFiChain is a decentralized blockchain platform built as a fork of Bitcoin, specifically optimized for fast, intelligent, and transparent DeFi services accessible to everyone. It supports native tokens, decentralized lending, borrowing, savings accounts, and a DEX for token swaps, all secured by a proof-of-stake masternode consensus mechanism that ensures low energy use and high throughput. The network is 100% community-driven with over 14,000 masternodes providing governance and security. DeFiChain enables tokenized real-world assets like stocks and bridges DeFi functionalities between Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems, facilitating cross-chain operations without compromising decentralization.
