About DeFiChain

DeFiChain is a blockchain specifically designed for decentralized finance applications, anchored to Bitcoin for security. Rather than using smart contracts (which introduce Turing-complete execution risks), DeFiChain provides native DeFi operations — DEX swaps, lending, yield farming, decentralized assets — as first-class protocol features. Every 30-60 minutes, DeFiChain broadcasts a hash of its blockchain state onto Bitcoin, inheriting Bitcoin's immutability. The platform supports tokenized stocks (dTokens), crypto loans with Bitcoin-backed collateral, decentralized swaps, and liquidity mining. DFI is used for transaction fees, governance, collateral, and staking in masternode operations.

How to Swap DFI

Swapping DeFiChain (DFI) on SyntheticSwap requires no registration or KYC. DFI runs on its own blockchain, supported by dedicated wallets. Open SyntheticSwap, select DFI as source or destination, enter your receiving wallet address, and confirm the floating rate. Send DFI from your personal wallet to the deposit address shown — once your transaction is confirmed on the network, the destination asset is automatically delivered to your specified wallet. Fully non-custodial.

How to Store DFI

Store DFI in DeFiChain Wallet (official mobile app), Cake DeFi, or Ledger hardware wallet with DeFiChain app. DFI is DeFiChain's native token.
