Decentralised Finance (DeFi) is changing the future of banking and finance. With the use of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum, DeFi doesn’t have to rely on traditional financial institutions.

In this course topic, students will discover what decentralised finance is, how it differs from traditional finance, and how it can put them a step ahead for the future.

From the Ethereum blockchain to other popular platforms like Hyperledger Fabric and Solana, you'll learn about the different blockchains and crypto assets that power DeFi applications.

The course covers smart contracts and their role in automating financial protocols, as well as the use of stablecoins to facilitate transactions within the DeFi ecosystem. Students will also gain a deeper understanding of the risks and challenges associated with DeFi, including impermanent loss, smart contract bugs, and scams. Through a combination of videos, tutorials, and hands-on projects, students will be able to develop the skills and knowledge needed to possibly later study this rapidly evolving field.
