Syllabus

DeFi Core

In this module, we discuss the concept of a decentralized financial market and liquidity as it relates to DeFi. We also explore using smart contracts to implement decentralized logic. In addition, we review the roles and responsibilities of participants in decentralized governance.

Dex Protocols

DeFi is a whole cryptocurrency ecosystem in which the decentralized exchange system exists. This module explores the protocols, or rules of interaction & operational regulations, that exist in this exchange system.

Dex Platforms

We discuss mechanisms, portals, and technologies that enable the operation of decentralized exchange in this module. We also explore the platforms that are implemented as decentralized applications (Dapps) on various blockchains.

DeFi Services

In this module, we focus on DeFi services that have broad global adoption and participation. We explore the interactions at three levels, including 1.) Essential Services, 2.) Staking & Yield Farming, and 3.) Advanced Operations. In addition, we look at the underlying blockchain network that is imperative for their success, safety, security, and proper operation.
