Decentralized finance (or DeFi) emerged as an exciting new crypto space in 2017, and has poised to disrupt traditional finance with new "programmable money." The market soared in the “DeFi Summer” of 2020 with the launch of major new applications such as Uniswap and Aave. Though the 2022 downturn has already taken a toll on many DeFi projects and the crypto space as a whole, it can still lead to game-changing breakthroughs. If past events are any indication, a new era of creativity seems inevitable.
Today, we are very honoured to be joined by some of the leading experts in the digital asset space for sharing their insights on DeFi & Cryptocurrencies.
