background
In 2009, Satoshi released the first generation of blockchain, Bitcoin. Bitcoin proved to the world the potential of the next generation of finance based on blockchain technology. The cryptocurrency became the first decentralized finance (DeFi) program.
In 2014, Vitalik released the second-generation blockchain Ethereum. The automatically executed smart contracts have brought more advanced applications, richer financial services, and more diversified asset structures. As the most important track on Ethereum, DeFi has come a long way from the earliest payment function to become a powerful engine worth tens of billions of dollars that drives the long-term development of the blockchain industry. Any user who can use Ethereum (access the Internet) can enjoy decentralized financial products and services without permission.
The importance of DeFi is self-evident:
Traditional financial services lack transparency and cannot be enjoyed by most people.
The blockchain system cannot be tampered with, eliminating the possibility of corruption in financial transactions.
DeFi products are reliable and sustainable and can run forever as long as the blockchain exists.
Although DeFi TVL has shown a slow downward trend this year as the bear market continues to evolve, the current low is already much higher than the level of the previous bear market, with financial innovations such as RWA, NFTFi, and LSDFi emerging in an endless stream.
The story does not end here. DeFi will become more prosperous and resilient after this bear market and will burst out with stronger vitality!
Therefore, the Buidler DAO Education Association has joined hands with many DeFi project parties, investment institutions, and technical communities in the industry to jointly create two series of courses on DeFi investment research and technology. We hope to take you to a deeper understanding of the DeFi world, systematically sort out the development process of each sector of the entire DeFi track, explain the underlying technology and logic of DeFi, and peel off the mystery of DeFi through layer-by-layer analysis of classic projects and cases.
Investment Research Series
In this series of investment research courses, we will use two live courses per week over a period of 7 weeks to learn first-hand experience from the industry's top projects and investment institutions, and fully understand the cutting-edge developments in the DeFi world.
