About Event

​This is a sponsored session that’s part of Season One of ACJR’s Off the Record, a peer-to-peer method for journalists to get up to speed on all things crypto.

​DeFi Deep Dive

​DeFi is more than just a buzzword and the best way to prove this is through data. In this session we’ll help you understand the scale and speed of DeFi development by actually showing you ways you can track it and write about it. The beauty of DeFi is that all transactions on Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs) and DeFi Protocols run by Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) are on the public blockchain for all the world to see. We’ll answer questions about DAOs, what they are used for and where they fit in the future financial system. We’ll also describe the disruptive effect that the recent Cambrian explosion of DeFi protocols is set to have on finance as we know it.
