DeFi is growing and is quickly on its way to becoming a new financial paradigm, yet there are financial risks in DeFi that manifest in new ways that we havenβt seen in the traditional financial system:
Interconnections with the traditional financial system,
Operational risks stemming from underlying blockchains
Smart contract-based vulnerabilities
Other governance and regulatory risks
Scalability challenges.
In an effort to remove humans and automate as much as possible through smart contracts, DeFi has introduced or amplified these risks. This paper explores all of these aspects.
