Not very long ago, the idea of a world without traditional banks could have easily found its way into the realm of science fiction. Today, it is a stark reality under the name of decentralized finance, or DeFi. Cryptocurrencies are at the very heart of this revolution, a technology quietly redefining age-old notions of money, control, and trust. From the world's perspective, such technologies gain their media coverage in sudden bursts of excitement with price spiking or crashing. Underneath the noise lies the moaning of metamorphosis. This is the metamorphosis of blockchain and crypto, which hopes now to chart a path for decentralized banking systems that can affect everything.
