Decentralized Finance (DeFi) for Everyone

The three-part series provides a journey through the non-mainstream finance DeFi landscape and explores its financial evolution.

About the Courses

The decentralized financial (DeFi) cryptocurrency system is shifting the landscape of traditional finance. The series introduces the essential elements of the DeFi system, explores digital assets, and delves into decentralized exchange protocols and platforms. The courses are ideal for those with basic programming skills who want to further develop blockchain skills and applications and those who are exploring the DeFi landscape and all it has to offer. The courses encourage learners to participate on a testnet system to engage with the nontraditional financial DeFi system in an experimental capacity.

The DeFi series was created by the UB Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
