Flash Loan

An uncollateralised DeFi loan that must be borrowed and repaid within a single blockchain transaction. If not repaid, the entire transaction reverts as if it never occurred. Flash loans require no credit check or collateral — they are used for arbitrage, collateral swaps, and self-liquidation.
