How Decentralized Finance System is Gaining Momentum against Traditional Finance Model

Decentralized Finance (DiFi) will probably set a different trajectory with regard to the understanding of financial structures. DiFi has the potential of shaping the future of banking operations. According to Forbes, DiFi encompasses the perception of a financial system that works without intermediaries such as banks or insurances.
As the world undergoes digital transformation, the financial sector is also metamorphosing at a dramatic pace. Investors are opting for blockchain planetary to bolster their fortunes. Digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have been growing at a magical rate. 
Decentralized finance is defined as an experimental form of finance that doesn’t depend on central financial intermediaries like brokerages, banks or exchanges to offer traditional financial instruments. 
The question is, “will decentralized finance replace commercial banks?” Majorly, banks operate on the basis of borrowing and lending for the sustenance of market liquidity and earn more on their unproductive possessions. 
Equally, DiFi protocols have been enhanced to allow users to borrow or loan money on a gigantic scale between anonymous individuals, without involving any intermediaries. The interest is then automatically set basing on the forces of demand and supply. Unlike traditional finance models, DiFi are commonly secured by over-collaterization. 
DiFi platform has started offering advisory on financial transactions, just like investment banks. Firms like Synthetix allow the decentralized development and trading of derivatives on assets like currencies, stocks and commodities. 
Cryptocurrencies have also started embracing digital asset management. For instance, Yearn Finance searches for the best returns in the DeFi space and then automatically does the investment for its users. Yearn Finance permits its users to optimize their returns on crypto assets through trading and lending services. 
Just like the exchange of real cash, DeFi also offering the exchange of cryptocurrencies against fiat cash. The advent of decentralized exchanges (DEX) has necessitated the swapping of tokens without necessarily leaving the crypto site.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents.
