#CeDeFi
CeDeFi is a combination of centralized finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), it offers the same features as DeFi while being centralised via governance of a single or small group of entities. In short, CeDeFi is aimed to improve the traditional cryptocurrency model by providing a faster and improved version of traditional systems.
Who introduced CeDeFi into the market?
Back in September 2020, Binance’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao coined the term “CeDeFi” while launching the Binance Smart Chain(BSC). BSC has a dual-chain architecture that will empower its users to build their decentralised apps and digital assets on one blockchain.
Binance has sacrificed its decentralization and censorship resistance in return for the optimizations for low fees and high transaction throughput on BSC, and coined the term “CeDeFi” to come back to the criticisms from decentralization advocates.
Why CeDeFi?
The lack of industry-wide security measures is keeping billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines in centralized finance markets, waiting to get plugged into the larger DeFi ecosystem. The constant headline-grabbing hacks make for easy fodder for regulatory agencies and governments looking to discredit the industry. Beefing up industry-wide security is a must for wider institutional adoption of DeFi to take place. Also, DeFi lacks an institutional-ready DEX, as current DEXs lack the depth of liquidity needed to truly support major CeFi players.
So, it’s a yay or nay?
With CeDeFi, the transaction cost will be comparably lower than others while the gas fees is much lower than Ethereum as well, leading to the acceleration of transactions by allowing users to accept fees. In a long term, institutions that adopted CeDeFi can have inherent connections to governments and regulatory agencies, and eventually speed up the adoption of DeFi.
Additionally, compare to the CeFi system, the CeDeFi has an improved security. Hackers will find it far harder to break into the CeDeFi network than they will with traditional banking systems because of the network’s decentralized structure.
Another notable advantage is it is incredibly accessible by anyone who has an Ethereum wallet, hence lowering the entry barriers and enable them to explore more about the DeFi system. However, it also indicates that the CeDeFi heavily relies on Ethereum — If Ethereum fails, CeDeFi will likely fail as well.
