Top 10 Best Defi Projects 2022

When we talk about Best Defi Projects, we need to understand that it also means Best Defi Coins.

Understanding Defi(Decentralized Finance) will give you the reason why we are to search for the best Defi Projects in the crypto space and acquire some for the future.

We are steadily transitioning into the Defi era, so acquainting yourself with the Defi protocol knowledge is not a bad idea.

Remember we discussed that the goal of (decentralized finance) Defi is to remove the power of third parties or intermediaries from a financial transaction. In Defi, you don’t need permission from a centralized body (Bank) to execute any transaction.

You can look at the below article to fully understand Decentralized Finance and DAPPS.

Also, Read UNDERSTANDING DEFI.

Now that you understand Defi, let’s teach you how to know a good Defi Project and how to enter early.

Ethereum is the mother of Defi coins, as it is not just a currency like Bitcoin but it offers room for other crypto operations like Dapps, smart contracts, etc.

So buying Ethereum is a good idea, but since you couldn’t hold Ether early or earlier, you need to catch the early ones and hold them tightly.

Advantages of Defi

Thanks to the Ethereum blockchain for creating massive blockchain offerings. Decentralized finance is a paradigm shift in the finance systems of the world(centralized finance). Right from the introduction of Defi, the world has pictured a way where their funds can be handled and they will feel safe with it. The following are a few advantages of decentralized finance.

• Convenient financial activities: Decentralized finance makes it easy for financial operations to be done conveniently without central bodies/authorities(banks).
• Loans/staking can be done from the comfort of your homes with little charge and without going through the normal stress of centralized platforms.
• Security and transparency: Defi systems are transparent, unlike centralized systems. You can track your payments yourself, without visiting a branch or firm. Also, security is offered through blockchain technology, to make funds traceable and accessible.

How to know the Best Defi Projects

The best Defi projects can be identified by the following;

• Market Capitalization: This is simply the number of funds already invested in the project.
• Current Price: The price matters especially if we want to be early birds in the project. Since we want to be early, we need to look for a project below $3-$5.
• Use Case: From the project’s white paper, what are they solving with their project? The weight of the use case will determine the success of the project.
• Circulation Supply: This is self-explanatory, it tells you about the number of coins circulating. A lesser Circulation supply will bring scarcity and an increase in price in the long run.
• Project Supporters: I often use this setup to determine good projects, because formal successful project developers who venture into a new project can still make the new project successful.

Now let’s see the Best Defi Projects.

From thorough research, the following Defi Projects seem fit, coinmarketcap.
