DeFi для початківців
A step-by-step guide to understanding and safely using decentralized finance.
Your First Steps
Зрозуміти основи
Learn what DeFi is: financial services like lending, borrowing, and trading built on blockchain — no banks required.
Налаштувати гаманець
Choose a non-custodial wallet like MetaMask or Rabby. You control your keys, you control your assets.
Купіть криптовалюту
Buy ETH or stablecoins from an exchange and transfer to your wallet. Always test with a small amount first.
Почніть з малого
Try a simple swap on Uniswap or deposit into Aave with a small amount to learn how gas fees and transactions work.
Зрозуміти ризики
Smart contract risks, hacks, and impermanent loss are real. Never invest money you cannot afford to lose.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Ніколи не діліться сид-фразою.
Beware of phishing sites that look like real apps. Always double-check the URL.
Be skeptical of "guaranteed returns" — if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
Gas fees can be high on Ethereum. Consider L2 networks like Arbitrum or Base for lower costs.
Key Terms
Software or hardware that stores your private keys and lets you interact with blockchain.
The cost paid to process a transaction on the network.
