Decoding the <strong>Cyber</strong>security Implications of<br />

Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<br />

Blockchain users’ blind faith in the system isn’t paying off<br />

By April Miller, Managing Editor, ReHack Magazine<br />

While decentralized finance (DeFi) is still relatively new, it is well-established enough that its<br />

cybersecurity weaknesses have become clear. While it’s a promising technology, the implications <strong>for</strong><br />

users are significant.<br />

What Is Decentralized Finance?<br />

DeFi is an emerging financial ecosystem. It sidesteps centralized, regulated institutions like banks by<br />

leveraging blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions. Since it relies on distributed ledger technology, it<br />

enables dispersed peer-to-peer interactions.<br />

People recognized blockchain’s potential in finance almost immediately after its development. While<br />

adoption is slow, it has been catching on. Experts predict its penetration rate will increase from 0.25% in<br />

<strong>2024</strong> to 0.28% by 2028. Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, many of its underlying cybersecurity issues weren’t realized until<br />

recently since it's a relatively new technology.<br />
