What is DeFi?

Decentralized Finance, or DeFi is the fast track alternative to displacing traditional (TradFi) finance aka legacy services that aren’t adapting quick enough to the smartphone revolution. With a smartphone and an Internet connection, anyone can be included into the financial services world. Access to banking, savings, loans, trading, and more is what this technology is helping to bring to the masses and helping to break down financial barriers by making “banking” accessible to all but also helping to reduce fees and “making transactions faster“on the Ethereum network.

What’s Happening Nearby the Convention Center?

The Permissionless event will be held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center which is located just south of the Square (aka CityPlace) and Clematis Street. Event goers will be able to enjoy the different retail shops that the Square offers as well as countless restaurants and bars on Clematis Street.
