DEFI - Decentralized Finance, the new financial system

Je m'inscris

Decentralized Finance, abbreviated DeFi, is a set of new financial applications based on the decentralized systems. The main goal of DeFi is to create a new financial system that is self-contained and independent of centralized institutions.

DeFi platforms allow savings, loans, insurance and many other financial transactions to be performed anywhere, anytime. All that is required is an internet connection that provides access to the decentralized applications.

These decentralized applications use the so-called smart contracts. This makes it possible to arrange all the above matters without the intervention of an intermediary.

The objective of the training is:

to understand the building blocks and ecosystem of DeFi;
to discover the uses cases of DeFi: lending, borrowing, stablecoins, decentralized exchanges, etc;
to teach how to use the DeFI applications.
