DeFi 101: A Visual Guide to Definitions and Data Sources

Insane 1000% returns, tokens named after foods, rugs?

We get it, the decentralized finance, or DeFi for short, ecosystem is a whole new world and a complex, and many times anxiety-inducing, one at that. Our very own goofy face of The Defiant YouTube, Robin Schmidt, created a DeFi 101 presentation explaining what this new blockchain-based financial freedom is all about. You’ll get the definitions you need to talk the talk, the protocols to get you started and the data sources to not get rekt. Enjoy your new degenerate life!

You can watch a livestream version of this presentation, which includes demos of the platforms mentioned here, check out The Defiant YouTube.
