Satoshi refers to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous of the creator of Bitcoin. When used a quantity, it can also mean the smallest unit of the Bitcoin currency (0.00000001 Bitcoin).
In the context of decentralized finance (DeFi), the term Satoshi is often used to refer to very small amounts of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies that are involved in transactions.
For example, a DeFi transaction may involve the transfer of a few hundred Satoshis from one user to another.
