Where and how do I access DeFi products?
You can reach the DeFi products you trade through your self-custody wallet from the Paribu app; you do not need to download a separate application. To transact, your account verification must be complete and your DeFi setup must be done on your Paribu account.
Where are DeFi products accessed?
In the Paribu app, go to the Markets tab and tap the DeFi chip in the Crypto tab. The DeFi list contains the tokens you can trade; tapping a token opens its detail screen, where you can buy and sell.
- Go to the Markets tab
- Tap the DeFi chip in the Crypto tab
- Tap the relevant token in the list
Note: You can view the DeFi list even without a wallet. The setup flow starts when you want to make a transaction
The DeFi list also has a New listings section where you can see recently added tokens, and once you sign in you can quickly reach the tokens you starred with the ★ Favorites chip. Above the list, a notice reminds you of the self-custody responsibility: "In DeFi, the control and responsibility of your transactions belong to you." The What is a DEX? link in the same notice opens a three-step introduction.
What is required for access?
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| Account verification | Your account verification must be complete on your Paribu account |
| User agreement | You must have approved your Paribu user agreement |
| DeFi approval | You must have approved the risk statement and terms of use |
| DeFi wallet | You must have created your self-custody wallet with your passkey |

All setup steps are explained in the How do I start using DeFi products? article.
Where do I see my assets?
You can see the tokens in your DeFi wallet in the DeFi section of your asset list on the Wallet tab. Tapping a token lets you buy and sell from its detail screen.
If DeFi is temporarily unavailable
When a short maintenance is being performed on the DeFi side, the DeFi is under maintenance for a short time screen appears, and no DeFi transaction can be made during this period. You can return to Markets with the Return to markets button and try again after the maintenance is complete.
