Zerion simplifies the management and investment in decentralized finance (DeFi) assets through its user-friendly platform. It allows users to acquire, track, and manage Ethereum-based assets across various DeFi protocols like MakerDAO, Compound, and Uniswap without needing technical expertise. The platform is non-custodial, meaning users keep full control of their funds, which enhances security and reduces risks associated with centralization. Unlike many competitors, Zerion focuses on making DeFi accessible to a wider audience, including those without a technical background. The company's goal is to provide a seamless and secure way for individuals and institutions to engage with DeFi, generating revenue through transaction fees and premium features.
