DeFi (Decentralized Finance)
Financial services built on blockchain technology that operate without traditional intermediaries. In the poker context, DeFi concepts enable decentralized poker platforms, yield-bearing bankroll management, and peer-to-peer wagering without centralized operators. Some crypto poker rooms integrate DeFi protocols for staking and liquidity provision.
Example
Between sessions, you lend your USDT on Aave and earn 4% APY. When it is time to play, you withdraw from DeFi and deposit directly to the poker room.
