For those new to DeFi, we've compiled a short introduction to the main principles and concepts in this space. It can be weird and a bit mind-bending at first, but it's worth the effort to persevere and learn about these things. This is by no means an exhaustive treatise on DeFi, and we encourage you, dear reader, to search online and read about many different protocols. Hopefully, however, what follows will give you be a good place for you to start.
