Specializing Course - Workshop Blockchain & Decentralized Finance | BLOCKCHAIN & CODING duration Weekend
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is not a technology but a cutting-edge financial system that uses blockchain technology to transform financial products into secure and transparent protocols, capable of operating without intermediaries of any kind.
DeFi does not give money away to anyone. If traditional financial instruments already require training and financial education, the use of DeFi requires a higher level of knowledge and skills. In fact, from a competence point of view, it implies the study of more complex tools, also addressing them from a technological point of view. Therefore, DeFi will certainly offer enormous opportunities to those who decide to seriously study a technology that is destined to revolutionize our daily lives in the coming years.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This workshop will not recommend investments. The participants will decide in full autonomy and responsibility on how to apply the technical knowledge acquired.
