What is Wonderfi crypto?
Wonderfi is a dashboard-based on blockchain technology. It aims to bring decentralized financial (DeFi) services to the masses so that an average person can also have a crypto investing experience.
The decentralized finance infrastructure is getting popular as it is the latest trend in the financial world. DeFi enables people to access financial products on a public blockchain network and gives them an option of not going to the traditional financial institutions.

In addition, DeFi also removes the need for middlemen for getting access to financial services. The blockchain's software enables a person to interact with lenders, borrowers, buyers, and sellers on a peer-to-peer basis, thus there is no need for middlemen.
Wonderfi might be getting the market's attention as reports suggest that it will be a DeFi platform to list on a stock market and it is also backed by prominent investors like Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary.
