abstract

The development of Defi is closely related to the development of Blockchain technology and crypto digital currency. The decentralized lending transaction model developed by the blockchain is complicated. In 2019, the number of DeFi users increased by 30 times, and the volume of decentralized lending and borrowing transactions conducted on Ethereum accounted for about 80% of the total transaction volume. It can be seen that decentralized lending is widely welcomed by the public. This article focuses on the application of lending in Defi as the core of this research, because decentralized technology breaks the strict review and restriction of bank approved loans, and provides an open, intermediary lending　platform. Through Blockchain technology, more fair, free and open governance authority is established to all participants. At the same time, it also challenges the liquidation structure constructed by traditional central banks and the solid financial trust system and supervision method formed by government supervision The property value of digital assets, the trading specifications of smart contracts and the legal positioning and protection of digital assets need to be clarified. Defi lending is an autonomous ecosystem, based on a decentralized network, which is composed of unlicensed Blockchain and applications built with P2P protocols. Decentralized lending also involves the use of smart contract operations to achieve the function of facilitating transactions between lending and other financial instruments. decentralized lending's autonomous ecosystem and the features of external anti-censorship and resistance to government centralized control form unique internal governance and external supervision issues. Traders hope to save transaction costs, but the smart contract operation mode they use, for the participants, including the positioning of developers and users, as well as related legal risks arising from transactions and government regulatory issues, it is worth researching. This article takes the loan operation modes of MakerDAO, Compound and Dharma as research cases to discuss the legal issues and possible future development directions of decentralized loans and smart contracts under the legal environment of Taiwan.
