DeFi, or decentralized finance, uses smart contracts\u2014self-executing code on blockchain networks\u2014to automate financial transactions and services. With unmatched throughput, EVM-compatibility, predictable fees, and no front running, Hedera is an ideal backbone for high-frequency and enterprise-grade DeFi.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Transactions are guaranteed to be ordered sequentially and fairly, so there\u2019s no threat of frontrunning. Hedera doesn\u2019t use a mempool to hold transactions before processing, which removes opportunities for node bribery or manipulation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
