Course syllabus
01
Introduction to Blockchains
Blockchain is the fabric behind cryptocurrency and the decentralization movement. Learning about how blockchains work is key to understanding one of the foundational building blocks of decentralized finance.
02
Exploring the world of Decentralized Finance
Decentralized Finance is challenging traditional finance. But it is important how the primitives you are familiar with in traditional finance map to the world of DeFi. We will dive deep into DeFi by helping you setup your decentralized wallet and learn how to trade using decentralized exchanges (DEX) and apps to lend and borrow.
03
Diving into Futures
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are all the buzz these days. You will learn more about NFTs and why they are significant. Web2 is the era we will live in today, but Web3 will be a decentralized movement that will challenge incumbents. You will get a glimpse into the technology revolution shaping the decentralized future.
