About the Course

DeFi and the Future of Finance is a set of four courses that focus on decentralized finance. The third course is called DeFi Deep Dive. It is essential that you do the first two courses I. DeFi Infrastructure and II. DeFi Primitives before doing this course. It is the longest of the four courses and focuses on some of the leading protocols in the DeFi space. We will look at Credit and Lending (and feature MakerDAO, Compound and Aave), Decentralized Exchange with an analysis of how protocols like Uniswap and Balancer works, Derivatives (featuring Yield Protocol, dYdX and Synthetix) and Tokenization with an analysis of Set Protocol as well as wrapped bitcoin. For many of these leading protocols, we include detailed examples of how the mechanics work. For example, we show how to use a dYdX flash swap to execute an arbitrage transaction (take advantage of different prices on different exchanges for the same asset)....

An excellent course that subtly talks of the disruption round the corner in banking and trading.

I wish there was more of technical aspects as well.

I thought we would be seeing some smart contract action too.

Like the development of these and so on. But alas, otherwise the knowledge was good.

If you want to learn the mechanics of DeFi, this course is quite useful; however I am more interested from a business and finance perspective, where it is less enlightening.

Good content, but the professor says "uh", "um", "so" and "and" way too often, making it painful to listen to.
