In Decentralized Finance work on smart contract and open to all. There is no limitation, and not possible to identify who and where he sends.

One more important thing is less transaction fee. It attracting users to use this Defi ecosystem for their needs.

In Defi now we having a lot of platforms like Maker Compound, Synthetix, Uniswap and many more.

Question Number 1:-

About Maker:-

In Defipulse ranking Maker is in First place.

Through Maker Defi Platform we can lend and borrow without having any restrictions.

This platform run on using the ETHEARIUM network. Its stable coin is DAI.

Long term investors on lending their coins in this platform can earn good returns.

It's Website Address: https://makerdao.com/en/

In this platform DAI coin price fix to 1$.So in any market conditions our coin price not get any impact. So we can invest here for good returns. Because the price volatile of the coin does not get any impact here.

Here on keeping our ETH or BAT as collateral, we can earn DAI.

Here we can get up to 66% borrow money on our collateral coins.

Interest rates also reasonable. Anyone can interact with this system very easily. Open to all.

MKR is a MAKER platform governance coin. So MKR holders get citing rights on taking any important decision on this platform.

It is something different from other Decentralized platforms.

Question Number 5:-

Uniswap:-

In Defipulse, It's ranking is 4. Most popular and Well know Decentralized platform.

By personally, I do some swapping here and having experience in this platform.

Here we can swap, provide liquidity, add liquidity anything will on interacting with Ethereum.

This platform is a fully decentralised on-chain platform for Tokens dealing in the Ethereum network. But here a lot of duplicate tokens also available on swapping must copy the token address from coingeko then import that address in UNISWAP, that's the good and best choice on doing swapping here. Otherwise, we lost our founds permanently. It is the main issue with this platform.

Here anyone can launch a new ERC 20 Token on providing liquidity very easily here. The market creator can possible to fix its launch price.

For each trade, we need to pay 0.3% as a trading fee. It's very high compare to Centralised exchanges. But possible to earn good returns in a short period. That's why a lot of investors and traders getting attraction to this platform.

It's official website link https://uniswap.io/

Current Total Value locked in this platform is.

Hi @lavanyalakshman

Thanks for attending the 4th-week Crypto course and for your effort in doing the given homework task.

Feedback
This is good work. It's a unique way that you have used to explain the various DeFi projects. Yes, according to the DeFi Pulse, all the highlighted DeFi protocols are ranked differently with Maker taking the number one position. Well done with the research. You just have to keep improving on your explanations. I know that will come with more practical writing of blogs here on steemit.
