Blockchain has been a technology that has various applications. To date, the best use of blockchain technology is to reduce intermediaries and costs involved in doing transactions by not needing to trust a third party to do any particular transaction.

This is enabled by smart contracts. Many blockchain solutions like Ethereum, Binance Chain, Cardano (Expected) etc. are coming into the picture and creating automation and a new industry altogether of Decentralised Finance. These smart contracts are not only highly automated but can let you do transactions across the globe and be a part of it.

The current banking system needed more advancements and financial inclusion. According to the world bank, 1.7 Billion people across the world do not have access to the banking system. 2/3rd of these people still have a mobile phone with an internet connection. DeFi wants to leverage this opportunity to enable financial inclusion to these people as well without the need of any bank through Decentralised Applications also known as DApps.

Since most of the products that are being developed are finance products and who would be ideating and creating the infrastructure or managing the business once it's built. This is my current work profile (To manage DeFi products for a startup and believe me they are not the same as other financial products and because I had the knowledge, i cracked the interview in a swing and got the package I asked for.)

FINANCE PROFESSIONALS from eminent places like JP Morgan, Goldman, White House, Barclays etc, those who are understanding the opportunity are jumping ships and leaving their high paid jobs to get into DeFi. There are no DeFi courses in India, this is one of a kind. If you would want to do it from international teachers, they would ask a minimum of $1500-2000. Following are the things that are covered:

a) Why centralised systems are inefficient.

b) What is Ethereum? (90% of the smart contracts are deployed on Ethereum)

c) What are decentralised Applications?

d) What are custodian and non-custodian wallets.

e) How the world of DeFi is being established.

f) Detailed covering of the infrastructure of DeFi and why is it needed.

g) Stablecoins, Lending and Borrowing, Exchanges, Derivatives, Fund Management, Payments, Insurance.

h) What are Smart Contracts (in brief)

i) All live demo's of platforms that are discussed in the course so it's not just theory (it's practical too and it's very cool.)

j) Detailed guide as to how to understand a particular DeFi project.

The course will be constantly updated so that you always have all the information. The course also comes with reading material curated after reading thousands of articles and blogs by me so reading and understanding them is a must.

I would come online bi-weekly and solve your doubts. (All the details would be uploaded in the Skill91 Application.
