Description

If you're fascinated by the world of crypto and blockchain - but don't understand its best use cases - then "The DeFi Developer Bootcamp" is for you.  This course teaches you the fundamentals of the Solidity programming language as you develop a Decentralized Exchange (DEX).  You can use Solidity to leverage Automated Market Maker (AMM) technology which is a combination of IT (Information Technology) in the form of Smart Contracts, mathematics, and economics that power the creation of all kinds of Decentralized Exchanges on blockchains like Ethereum.


The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a virtual OS that's able to execute all kinds of permission-less and censorship-resistant programs that let users become self-sovereign over their own digital assets.  It also enables the deployment of many different kinds of Decentralized Business Models (DBMs) that are transparent and that are open to anyone to participate in.

Join me your instructor (Mark Joseph) on a journey through the development of your first Minimally Viable Decentralized Exchange as you master the Solidity programming language for the EVM, and as you learn the formulas and math that underpin AMM-based DEXs and see how they actually get encoded into Smart Contracts on Ethereum.


The course provides a substantial amount of graphics and illustrations to help you learn, and the step-by-step coding module shows you how a real programmer would develop a DEX.

There's no need to feel like you're drinking from a firehose as you receive expert guidance on one of the most interesting niches on blockchain: DeFi (Decentralized Finance).


Who this course is for:

  • Beginner Solidity & Web3 Developers who want to know how to build a Decentralized Exchange
  • You have no idea how an Automated Market Maker works, but are dying of curiosity
  • You believe in the foundational tenets of blockchain: decentralization & security
  • You value permissonless protocols that are censorship-resistant
  • You want to master key DeFi terms like "Liquidity Pools" and "Impermanent Loss", but don't know where to start
  • You're curious to see how Flash Swaps and Flash Loans get implemented in code because you want to use them
