Serious Study Buddies (Crypto and Defi)

Hello Community, Looking to build a study group. It is a 4-course specialization, each course is roughly 4 weeks. Each week requires about 2-3 hours of work. The 4th course isn't out yet but will be released shortly. That leaves us with 3 courses. There is an option to either enrol for the course (for a fee that will provide a certification) or audit the course (which is free). I want to start by auditing the course and we can take it from there. I am based out of EST, open to collaborating with individuals in other time zones as well. Let me know and we can set up a study schedule and get it done!

Description

DeFi and the Future of Finance is a four course learning experience. DeFi or Decentralized Finance is a new technology whereby users interact as peers with algorithms or smart contracts rather than through traditional intermediaries such as banks, brokerages or insurance companies.  The technology has the potential to transform finance as we know it. It solves key problems in traditional finance such as lack of inclusion, inefficiency, opacity, centralized control and lack of interoperability. The first course, DeFi Infrastructure, focuses on the historical evolution of decentralized finance as well as the problems that DeFi solves. The second course, DeFi Primitives, deals with mechanics, supply and ownership, and loans and swaps. The third course, DeFi Deep Dive, explores the leading protocols including MakerDAO, Compound, Aave, Uniswap and dYdX. The fourth course, DeFi Risks and Opportunities, analyzes the key risks including smart contract risk, governance risk, scaling as well as regulatory issues. The final part of the course sketches a vision of finance in the future including the winners and the losers. Read more
