This article explores how decentralized finance (DeFi) mechanisms like staking, liquidity pools, and interest rate swaps can sustainably deliver savings yields as high as 20% annually. Unlike traditional banking systems that limit returns and concentrate financial power, DeFi allows ordinary savers to participate directly in value creation—essentially making everyone a potential banker. By automating functions once reserved for bankers and lawyers, blockchain networks create fairer, more efficient systems that generate meaningful wealth opportunities for households.
