        One of the highest insight-per-second classes I've taken... and it's only week 1. Thank you @ai for the excellent kickoff to DeFi masterclass today.

        The Defi Master Class really opened up my eyes to a whole new world in finance and now I’m totally hooked! Anand and Kedric managed to cater the class to both beginners like me, and experienced folks and we all learned from each other...They even hosted office hours during the week and I know I can count on them to help me with any questions...

        This class has been one of the fastest time-to-value products ever. In just two weeks I’ve gone from 0 to 60 in my DeFi journey with the help of insightful classes, post-class discussions, hands-on projects, curated content, and an amazing community. Without this structured and guided learning, it would have taken me months to get this far.
