Glossary
Blockchain

Blockchain is a digital record-keeping system that stores data in a secure, transparent, and unchangeable way. It works like a chain of digital blocks, where each block contains information (like transactions) and is linked to the previous one. This makes it hard to alter past records, ensuring trust and security. It's used in cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, and many other applications.

DeFi

DeFi (Decentralized Finance) is a system of financial services built on blockchain technology that allows users to earn interest on crypto assets and borrow against them, all without relying on traditional intermediaries like banks or brokers.

Smart Contract

A smart contract is a self-executing agreement where the terms are written into code and automatically carried out when certain conditions are met, without needing intermediaries.

Crypto-backed loan

A crypto-backed loan is a financial service that lets you use your cryptocurrency holdings, like Bitcoin, as collateral to secure a loan. This gives you access to liquidity without selling your digital assets. With FinForta, you can benefit from crypto-backed loans, including Bitcoin collateral options, allowing you to convert your crypto into usable funds while keeping your assets intact.
