Introduction to Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

(3 Credits)

This full-credit course provides an Introduction to DeFi – What, Why, When, How? and explicitly focuses on the DeFi stack & Dapps that run on Ethereum (ETH), as it is the oldest chain for DeFi and also has the most capital locked into those protocols (TVL) – approximately 70% share. We will discuss key applications given ETH’s composability as well as unique DeFi risks & regulations compared to Traditional Finance (TradeFi).
