Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DeFi and Yield Farming have been the most popular buzzwords among the crypto community in recent months. Some DeFi tokens can skyrocket to more than 10K USD in just a few days but drop back to near zero also in a matter of days! Besides that, people in the crypto community are talking about yield farming instead of mining nowadays. Most of you might scratch your head and wonder what the heck is that? Skeptics might argue that DeFi is merely hype, but the total value of digital assets locked in the DeFi platforms has reached an astounding $30 billion, thus creating huge DeFi economics. Indeed, DeFi has become an important investment tool that investors cannot ignore. However, the complexity of the DeFi protocols and DeFi coins that exist today and new ones that are emerging every day at a mind-boggling speed has created a huge challenge not only for newcomers but also seasoned crypto traders. Therefore, I have authored this handbook with the mission to help you understand DeFi and know how to maximize returns from various DeFi tools. This book is written especially for beginners therefore I have minimized the jargons and included a lot of screenshots for easy learning. If you are an intermediate or advanced user, you may skip many of the steps and try out the DeFi platforms straightaway.This handbook provides a comprehensive guide on how to use all the major DeFi platforms comprising decentralized exchanges, loan, savings markets, DeFi applications and more. They include the likes of Uniswap, Sushiswap, Compound, dYdX, AAVE, YAM finance, Balancer, Bancor, MakerDAO and more. Besides that, this book also explains in detail the concepts of yield farming and how to use it to maximize returns in DeFi. On top of that, the book also runs through the concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrencies particularly on Bitcoin and Ethereum to help you understand decentralized money better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, our financial infrastructure failed. Governments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down. This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system. Does it make any sense that it takes two days to settle a stock transaction? Why do retailers, operating on razor thin margins, have to pay 3% for every customer credit card swipe? Why does it take two days to transfer money from a bank account to a brokerage—or any other company? Why are savings rates miniscule or negative? Why is it so difficult for entrepreneurs to get financing at traditional banks? In DeFi and the Future of Finance, Campbell R. Harvey, Ashwin Ramachandran and Joey Santoro, introduce the new world of Decentralized Finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for disruption and we are seeing, in real time, the reinvention of finance. The authors provide the reader with a clear assessment of the problems with the current financial system and how DeFi solves many of these problems. The essence of DeFi is that we interact with peers—there is no brick and mortar and all of the associated costs. Savings and lending are reinvented. Trading takes place with algorithms far removed from traditional brokerages. The book conducts a deep dive on some of the most innovative protocols such as Uniswap and Compound. Many of the companies featured in the book you might not have heard of—however, you will in the future. As with any new technology, there are a myriad of risks and the authors carefully catalogue these risks and assess which ones can be successfully mitigated. Ideally suited for people working in any part of the finance industry as well as financial policy makers, DeFi and the Future of Finance gives readers a vision of the future. The world of finance will fundamentally be changed over the coming decade. The book enables you to become part of the disruption – not the target of the disruption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DeFi is evolving so fast that I have decided to write a second book to complement my first book 'Defi Handbook- A comprehensive Guide to Defi' so that you are kept up to date on DeFi development. I have included most of the contents in the first book to benefit readers who have not possessed the first book. However, I have rearranged the topics into categories like Lending, Trading, Liquidity mining, and more for easy reading. Besides that, I have also included new platforms like Harvest Finance, Sora Farm, InstaDapp, C.R.E.A.M Finance, Alpha Amora , Torque and more. In addition, I have also added several topics that I think every reader should learn. The new topics include flash loan, a loan that you can borrow and repay in the same transaction. I explained the concept in detail and then guide you on how to execute a flash loan. Another topic is risk management. Although DeFi is an attractive investment opportunity, the risk is also high. In this topic, I will explain how you can reduce risk due to smart contract failure, wallet security and more. Besides that, I will show you how to reduce or hedge risks by using the products and services offered by some of the DeFi platforms for buying and selling protection. The protection includes options trading and insurance. I wish you can master the skills in DeFi investment and reap good rewards by reading this book. Happy learning!

Download or read book CRYPTOCURRENCY DEFI GUIDEBOOK 2021 written by Teddy Foster and published by Antonino Fiorentino. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decentralized finance is currently one of the blockchain and cryptocurrency space's fastest-growing sectors. Defi has grown rapidly in the last year, but materials to help people understand the concept have lagged. Defi is a network of Decentralized Applications (Dapps) that offer financial services via dispersed networks without the need for a central authority. Because the majority of the Defi Dapps currently being developed are on the Ethereum blockchain, we will focus on Defi for the purposes of this book. In 2019 and 2020, Defi has been a major theme in Ethereum's development. Defi Dapps had amassed more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency at the time of writing. Defi is expected to expand further in the coming years and is critical in realizing Ethereum's lofty vision and ambition. Defi has grown at an unprecedented rate. In fact, the speed at which new concepts and innovations arrive is so dramatic that veterans and beginners alike fail with keeping up and understanding its ever-growing importance. As with any other subject, information overload is very likely unless we approach the right data structured, intuitive, and progressive. This book is written for beginners who are familiar with basic blockchain and crypto concepts but have not yet dared to tread into the world of decentralized finance. This book carefully explains every facet of Defi while emphasizing its use cases, features, and platforms. The majority of this book revolves around comprehending specific and popular use cases to understand decentralized finance through practical knowledge. By covering decentralized exchanges, yield farming, lending, derivatives, stablecoins, insurance, and other topics, you will become capable of knowing how Defi works at the level of an experienced user.
Download or read book International Handbook of Blockchain Law written by Thomas Richter and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blockchain’s significant advances since 2020 – including a plethora of new use cases – have necessitated a comprehensive revision of the first edition of this matchless resource. While new chapters and topics have been added, the handbook still follows the systematic and structured approach of the first edition. Each contributor – all of them practitioners experienced with blockchain projects within their respective areas of expertise and specific jurisdictions – elucidates the implications of blockchain technology and related legal issues under such headings as the following: understanding blockchain from a technological point of view; regulatory aspects of blockchain; smart contracts; data privacy; capital markets; crypto asset regulation in Europe, the UK and the US; intellectual property; and antitrust law. The foundational chapter on the technical aspects of blockchain technology has been meticulously expanded to elucidate the proof of stake consensus mechanism alongside fresh insights into the ERC-721 Token Standard for non-fungible tokens, decentralized exchanges, staking, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies. As blockchain law cements itself as a distinct legal field, this new edition is poised to be an invaluable asset for legal practitioners, in-house lawyers, IT professionals, consultancy firms, blockchain associations, and legal scholars. At a depth that allows non-IT experts to understand the groundwork for legal assessments, the handbook provides those charting the dynamic waters of this field of law with a compass, ensuring they are well-equipped to tackle the legal issues raised by the usage of blockchain technology.
Download or read book Decentralized Finance DeFi 2023 written by Dave Shamrock and published by Infinite Results Ltd. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cryptocurrency's promise is to make money and payments all around accessible to anyone, regardless of where they are on the planet. The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) or Open Finance development makes that promise a stride further. Imagine a global, open option in contrast to each financial service you use today — investment funds, loans, trading, insurance and more are accessible to anybody in the world with a cell phone and internet connection. This is presently conceivable on smart contract blockchains, like Ethereum. Smart contracts are programs running on the blockchain that can execute consequently when certain conditions are met. These smart contracts empower developers to work undeniably with more modern functionality than essentially sending and accepting cryptocurrency. These projects are what we currently call decentralized apps or dapps. You can think about a dapp as an app that is based on decentralized innovation, instead of being built and constrained by a solitary, unified substance or organization. Become accustomed to this word, dapp, you'll be seeing it a ton from now into the foreseeable future. While a portion of these concepts may sound cutting edge, automated loans negotiated straightforwardly between two strangers in different parts of the world, without a bank in the center a large number of these dapps are now live today. There are DeFi dapps that permit you to make stable coins (digital currency whose worth is fixed to the US dollar), loan out money and earn interest on your crypto, apply for a loan, trade one asset for another, go long or short assets, and carry out computerized, advanced investment strategies.
Download or read book Crypto Millionaire Handbook written by Jef Benson and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why I Wrote This Book In the ever-evolving landscape of cryptocurrency, the journey from a novice investor to a seasoned expert is marked by challenges, triumphs, and, for some, significant financial setbacks. As the author of "Crypto Millionaire Handbook" my motivation to pen this comprehensive guide stems from a deeply personal and transformative experience within the world of digital assets. Like many others, I entered the world of cryptocurrency with dreams of lucrative returns and financial independence. However, my initial foray into this dynamic market was met with unexpected pitfalls, leading to substantial losses (When “Luna Coin” fell from the staggering height of $130 per coin to zero, I lost virtually all my investment.) These setbacks, rather than deterring me, became the catalyst for my determination to understand, adapt, and ultimately thrive in the crypto space. This book is a testament to my journey-from the lows of financial disappointment to the highs of gaining expertise as a crypto writer and coach. I wrote this guide with the intention of bridging the gap for beginners, providing them with the knowledge and strategies that I wish I had possessed when embarking on my own crypto adventure. It's an offering of insights derived not only from success but, perhaps more importantly, from the valuable lessons learned through adversity. By sharing my experiences, both positive and challenging, I aim to empower readers to navigate the complexities of cryptocurrency with confidence. Whether you're just starting or have encountered stumbling blocks along the way, this book is designed to arm you with the tools and strategies needed to not only recover but to flourish in the crypto market. My goal is clear: to demystify the world of cryptocurrency, turning it from a potential source of financial uncertainty into a space where you can confidently make informed decisions and, ultimately, make lots of money.
