COURSE OVERVIEW

Blockchain is shaping the financial supply chain in unprecedented ways, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents the tangible evidence. Yet, you must be wondering why you should care about something that appears still rather “esoteric”. The simple answer: feel free to be left behind.

WHAT YOU GET IN THE DEFI COURSE

DeFi enables parties to trade in a peer-to-peer (i.e., decentralized) fashion the traditional elements of the financial supply chain (e.g., deposits, loans, financial assets) by replacing traditional currency (e.g., dollars, euros) with stable-coins (i.e., cryptocurrency tokens pegged to that currency) and replacing the intermediary (i.e., the financial institution) with blockchain-based smart contracts that run autonomously on a permissionless blockchain protocol (Ethereum for the most part).

This course is ideal for blockchain enthusiasts who understand the immense potential of the blockchain-based financial supply chain but want to avoid the inherent threat presented by the high volatility and speculative nature of the cryptocurrencies traded on current exchange platforms. The DeFi construct is being developed to exactly remove this concern.

In this course, 101 Blockchains Research experts will share their latest findings on the DeFi foundational elements and display the current DeFi taxonomy that will help you identify the technical building blocks and stay ahead of the curve as a trusted enterprise blockchain professional. You will be able to develop solutions and applications after learning from the course the current DeFi use cases.

Course instructors will introduce you to DeFi tools and processes, explaining the main features and their disruptive innovative impact in the financial supply chain. The purpose of the course is not to turn you into skilled traders. Rather, the objective of 101 Blockchains is to provide you with all the most updated and structured information to improve your skills in helping an enterprise client understand the potential benefits- and current limits and caveats- of DeFi, in order to prepare for the future and start applying now the tools and products already tested and available. Failing to do so poses the serious threat of being an eternal follower in a highly rapid evolving market.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN


What we will cover to get you build your DeFi expertise:

  • How to explain DeFi to your clients and colleagues (and why should you do it)

The significance of decentralized finance is primarily evident in its role in transforming the conventional financial systems. The cost-efficiency of the technology enables flexible access to tools required for benefiting from DeFi. Almost 57% of the global population has internet access daily. Recent estimates by the World Bank indicate that almost two-thirds of unbanked citizens have ownership of a mobile device. At the same time, public blockchains and decentralized apps are also beginning to gain smartphone users' attention. Therefore, decentralized finance can be a significant tool in introducing banking to a large population share.
Decentralized finance also comes with a set of challenges like any other high-return financial product. Here are some of the notable mentions- the requirement for specialized knowledge for secure management of cryptocurrency tools, the responsibility of use in the management of their key, and following the multi-factor authentication process. You can also experience the requirement for users to have updated knowledge regarding changes in service terms across various wallets, crypto projects, and exchanges. Also, Decentralized finance users don’t have any benchmarks of historical data for review before implementing any investment decisions.
No, there is no certification in the decentralized finance training course from 101 Blockchains.
You can complete the courses at the pace that is convenient for you within our 1 year time limit. You also get unlimited access to the course online video lessons and you can rewatch them as many times as you want within the 1 year time frame.

Furthermore, the improvement of your enterprise's DeFi expertise through the course helps you gain business-specific skills.
Decentralized finance is a completely new monetary system developed on public blockchains. The important features of DeFi are Permissionless, Trustless, Programmable, Censorship resistance, Transparency, and Decentralization.
The notable advantages of decentralized finance include smart contracts with higher programmability that could ensure automated execution alongside the development of new digital assets or financial instruments. The interoperability implies that DeFi applications and protocols can be easily integrated and even complement each other. One of the important features, open and permissionless access, enables any user with an internet connection and crypto wallet to get the desired financial services. The users can also experience improved auditing and security by leveraging the tamper-proof data coordination functionality throughout the decentralized architecture of blockchains. The higher transparency in DeFi enables comprehensive data analysis alongside ensuring the availability of network activity to all users.
Decentralized finance has a major impact on global finance. After cryptocurrency, decentralized apps may serve many critical benefits for financial institutions and systems all over the world. Therefore, businesses are quite eager to leverage the full potential of DeFi. As a result, the demand for skilled DeFi professionals can also deliver promising opportunities for you upon completing this DeFi course.
Although there are no clear estimates on salaries for skills in DeFi, DevSkiller points out that the average annual salary of an Ethereum developer is around $127,500. Since Ethereum is one of the fundamental aspects of DeFi, you can expect salary estimates in similar ranges if you develop your decentralized finance expertise to a professional level.
