  A 'defi token' is a type of digital currency token that is specifically designed for decentralized finance (defi) applications. Unlike traditional tokens, defi tokens are built on blockchain platforms and are used to facilitate various financial activities such as lending, borrowing, and trading without the need for intermediaries like banks. They are often governed by smart contracts and can provide users with greater control over their financial assets. Defi tokens have gained popularity due to their potential to offer more transparency, accessibility, and financial inclusivity compared to traditional financial systems.
