Hi man thank you for your question.
It has been tried a lot I did not see any correct implementation jet so room to build it I would say.
I like SMT https://smt.steem.com/ … but since #$#@ Justin Sun now destroyed I did not see any good other alternatives also Nebulus looks a bit scammy sorry … but please show me some real live examples.
Yea please lets see some action.
Hi @amadeobrands I tried to do the same things you did in the compound and maker app. I also used the wallet metamask but. I am able to send eth and DAI from my wallet to Compound and Maker APP saving account but I see the interest is 0% (DAI savings rate in Maker APP same in Compound APP). What am I doing wrong (because I think i am doing something wrong) We are talking about 35 DAI and ETH 0,3 has it to do with the low amounts?

I am running the training on the IPAD but scrolling back is not possible only the complete session. I this only happening on the IPAD and not on Windows machines?

Have you try instadapp.io?, seems like there’s a new platform and an old one, but for some reason the new one won’t connect to my metamask wallet

I’m really excited about, already did tons of trades through Decentralized, Uniswap, Kyber, Oasis multiply and now I just put a small amount of 0.5 ETH to see how it works in Compound as a Supplier!!I also can see in my metamask the ceth already accruing interest 
ehhehehe
This new world of Defi for me as Trader is bringing me tons of opportunities!!! Tks amadeo
Below just a shot screen with some transactions without the address entirely for some reasons!!
tks mate for the awesome course, I will watch all over again, and again, and again

Correct you need to make an account on it and sing it with your wallet

I am new to the Defi ecosystem and the range and development is thought provoking. I think insurance of deposits is an important factor in drawing mass adoption. I looked at Opyn which uses options to insure eth fluctuations and compound/Dai deposits. This in itself has risks which requires deeper study into the DEFI and CEFI literature on the subject. Whether an average joe like myself can understand it is another thing. I like PIEDAO,SetProtocol and YouHodler because they give the ability to create a portfolio and spreading risk between stablecoins and tokens. With Set Protocol technical indicators like RSI can complement, lessening the risk . However technical indicators can add cost by moving you from stablecoin to tokens repeatedly. This can be automated aswell. Im wondering what is the cheapest method to transfer from fiat to crypto if your saving small amounts on a weekly basis. Thanks amadeo for your effort in making the course interesting. Im looking forward to learning and wishing everyone in the forum a great day, evening…

POLKADOT
I’m sure you have heard of them before.
- The concept of Polkadot is to bring the integration of data and coins a like in a highly secure manner across all decentralised chains. An example as stated on the Polkadot site "For instance, a school’s private, permissioned academic records chain could send a proof to a degree-verification smart contract on a public chain.
Main features of Polkadot:
-cross-chain interoperability
-Multi parallelized transactions
-interchain pooled security
Other points/features/problems they fix:
-
Polkadot is a unique chain made for the “community” it allows ‘DOT’ holder the ability to participate in the ecosystem not just the miners.
-
Polkadot development is on track to deliver the most robust platform for security, scalability and innovation. Currently Polkadot is in the NPoS phase of launch.
-
Polkadot enables cross-blockchain transfers of any type of data or asset, not just tokens.
-
Connecting to Polkadot gives you the ability to interoperate with a wide variety of blockchains in the Polkadot network.
-
It has economic & transactional scalability.
Although you can not trade “DOTS” on the free markets and the are not ERC20 tokens, there is still a lot of appeal and decentralised nature to this project.
This is a kind of one stop shop of DEFI but it may not be the ultimate solution either- Time will tell
But hay I’m new here… this is just my 2c of discovery from the “alt” coin forrest.
Don’t trust… Verify!

I just wanted to say this course is so interesting. I’m really enjoying going through the apps with you and learning, thanks.
Also shouldn’t the Kyber Network be on your list?

Thank you, Amadeo! in the Financial Lego video you said you’ve made a spreadsheet with the protocols. Do we have access to it somewhere?

Hello @amadeobrands
Firstly, I’m absolutely enjoying your Video classes!- Thank you very much, this is opening my mind in ways I thought was not possible.
May I please ask you for the link to the Difi ecosystem snapshot page, I super appreciate your time.
Hi @amadeobrands, I can’t find RadarRelay in that spreadsheet of yours. Might be a worthy addition, since you already have other DEXes like Loopring and REN listed. Just sayin’

Set TokenSet:
This lets you set select a set of tokens “Token Sets” then all trading happens automatically and re-balances your portfolio. It offers other options such as following other traders… when they make a trade your portfolio also makes the trade.
For Lending: (1) Compound – open-source protocol for algorithmic, efficient money markets on ETH blockchain or a protocol for lending & borrowing cryptocurrencies. Earn interest on stablecoins DAI, USDC, & USDT, and on cryptocurrencies ETH, REP, BAT, & ZRX; (2) Dharma – smart, non-custodial wallet w/c automatically lends out DAI or USDC received in the wallet. [Even a custodial centralized service like Celsius plans to incrementally decentralize its protocol.]
For Trading/Market Making: Uniswap – fully on-chain, decentralized exchange that uses liquidity pools and an automated market maker to determine the price at which you can trade an asset. Exchange ETH for any other ETH-compatible ERC-20 token in a decentralized fashion. No middleman so you’re always in control of your funds.
For Lottery: PoolTogether – no-loss, audited savings game powered by blockchain. Its app composes stablecoins w/ DeFi lending protocols to create a new way to save. DAI or USDC you deposit to PoolTogether app generate interest, w/c doesn’t go to each individual, but pooled together & disbursed to one lucky winner each week.
For DeFi Services: (1) Zerion – simple interface to access & manage DeFi portfolio across multiple accounts from a single place; also lend, borrow, & trade right from the app; (2) Robo-Advisor for Yield (RAY) : innovative DeFi dashboard (sometimes referred to as a Balancer) that runs on MetaMask & help you maximize income. RAY is a set of smart contracts that automatically move crypto assets to the highest-yielding opportunity to make sure you’re earning the best interest rate available from the protocols it supports. RAY supports ETH, DAI, & USDC.
For BTC DeFi apps: (1) Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) – Btc-backed ERC-20 token, w/c standardizes bitcoin for ETH ecosystem so you can use bitcoin on ETH exchanges & financial applications; (2) tBTC – ERC-20 token that’s trustlessly backed by and redeemable for BTC such that users can deposit their BTC and mint BTC on Ethereum w/o a middleman or needing to comply w/ KYC guidelines. Both WBTC and tBTC create interoperability between BTC and ETH, allowing BTC holders to tap into ETH’s growing list of DeFi apps, boosting the adoption and utility of both.

Just found this, any opinions? Also how do you think the current pandemic will effect the development of DeFi?
I’m looking into: https://substrate.dev/
It is kinda part of Polkadot
Token value of the dots makes less sense but their tech is solid for sure.
Best go here and use their TCR
I try to explain how it works check:
Hi @amadeobrands , I’m 21 and I’ve been studying the blockchain world for three months. Thanks so much for these fantastic lessons, they are very helpful to me. There are so many cool projects in DeFi. I think Synthetix is a project to keep an eye on, it promises well.
