One of the drawbacks of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols today is that you need different platforms to perform specific functions instead of having them all in one place. And that’s the problem that Instadapp is trying to solve. Instadapp is a DeFi platform that provides users and developers with a single point of integration to access all the DeFi protocols. As we are in the early days of the decentralized web, Instadapp aims to be a window into multiple DeFi services — tools that make transactions of crypto assets easier.
