Defi is short for decentralised finance, which generally refers to digital assets and financial smart contracts, protocols, and decentralised applications (DApps). It’s financial software built on the blockchain that can be pieced together like legos. It removes the need for financial intermediaries.
Avalanche is a new and revolutionary blockchain technology created by one of blockchains earliest experts, Emin Gün Sirer. The Avalanche network consists of multiple blockchains, and uses a novel proof of stake (see below) consensus mechanism to achieve high throughput and is estimated to reach over 4500 transactions per second. The technology allows developers to deploy blockchains that fit certain needs and that can interoperate with other blockchains to create a comprehensive ecosystem.
Staking or the Proof of Stake (PoS) concept states that a person can mine or validate block transactions according to how many coins he or she holds. In addition, Verso community members can stake VSO tokens in order to earn rewards. Their stake serves as collateral to decide what fraction of the overall rewards each participant will be entitled to.
Coming in Phase V - The community governance model will allow the community to decide on certain aspects of the future of the network.
