Front-Ends

A website or application that serves as a user-friendly, optional gateway to communicate with DeFi protocols and blockchain networks. Similar to how email clients translate written messages into data packets to be sent over the internet, front-ends translate human-readable actions into blockchain-compatible data. They may display information like wallet addresses and balances while enabling users to self-direct their own transactions even if the user does not know how to code or understand the technical complexities of blockchain operations. Also known as a “graphical user interface.”
