DeFi Masterclass

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is the most exciting thing to happen to finance and to money. The traditional finance models are being challenged by primitives that are being built on the blockchain and cryptocurrency. The Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi has grown from $1B in June 2020 to over 85B, and growing. And we are still in the very early stages of this movement.

Taking this course will help you get more fluent with DeFi concepts and primitives. You will be able to map traditional finance concepts such as depositing, lending, borrowing to the decentralized world. This is a hands on course and you will get a feel for how you can control your financial destiny through the world of DeFi.

This will be a 4 week, live, hands-on course that will

1. introduce you to the fundamentals behind DeFi
2. get you setup such that you can play with DeFi primitives firsthand (such as trading on decentralized exchanges, staking, yield farming etc.)

We will be doing live sessions, with breakouts.
- You will be part of a cohort that is eager to learn.
- You will have access to the community to be able to pose questions and help each other out.
- We will loop in experts and guest speakers from the field and do AMAs.
- You will have access to me as well as your cohort after the session is done so that you can continue to grow together.

This is an active hands-on course, and not just a one-way lecture. This is the course I wish I had access to when I was first getting started.

The sessions will all be done over Zoom and you will be invited to our Discord.
