Did you know that the concept of decentralized finance, or DeFi, has been around since the 1990s? The first decentralized exchange, FUSE, was launched in 1995, while the first decentralized lending platform, DigiCash, emerged in 1998. Despite its early beginnings, DeFi has only recently gained mainstream attention, with the rise of platforms like MakerDAO and Compound in the mid-2010s.
