Today we are taking a look at the top Polygon blockchain performers in the DeFi industry for the past month!

Decentralized finance (DeFi) is an emerging financial technology based on secure distributed ledgers similar to those used by cryptocurrencies. The system removes the control banks and institutions have on money, financial products, and financial services.

ApeSwap is an automated market maker and decentralized exchange living on BSC. The platform itself allows users to swap, hold, farm, and purchase cryptocurrencies on the BSC and Polygon networks.
