Hi Amadeo,

Great info, i did not know I was missing out so much. Thank you!!
What about Harbor?
This guys are tokenizing real state. With DeFi, can you create a pool of different assets and from this pool create one more token or cryptocurrency?
Cheers,

Thanks for providing this info about the DeFi Ecosystem. I’ve begun to explore the Zerion platform and has been fun to tinker around with. The long term potential of this area is exciting and as this journey progresses will be subject to many challenges. The exploitation of dForce’s lending protocol (LendfMe) for $25 million is just one of these challenges that the ecosystem will learn from and become stronger over time.

Amazing projects … buttt after my research all these swap protocols do not need their own token …
This also go’s for Cosmos and other bigger projects out there in my view the token model is not really strong.

:frowning: I hope you can see what issues this project has …
I really do not understand people do not see the issues.

Did you follow the complete courses and you still think this is a interesting project?

I have found out that some DeFi information is not as accessible. 250$ per month seems a bit too expensive https://www.theblockcrypto.com/genesis/13564/compound-the-decentralized-money-market-protocol.
What do you guys think?

@amadeobrands I am only in the ā€œWhat Is Defiā€ section of the course at this point so maybe you answer this later - are all of these protocols, layers, etc. accessed by the developer via JavaScript, via a derived contract, oracles or? Does it just depend on the protocol? Thank you.

Here is the a really nice looking insurance project.

Name: Etherisc

Category: Insurance

Website: https://etherisc.com/

Tech Stack: ETH

Whitepaper: https://etherisc.com/files/etherisc_whitepaper_1.01_en.pdf

They use their Decentralized Insurance Protocol Token or DIP token.

They offer provable fairness and transparency, low conflict of interest, lower cost, faster time to market.

This will be explained later in the DeFi Stack.

Consider Nexo.io and AAVE.com (ex EthLEND)

I would be interested to learn more about Helena. I think prediction markets have a lot of potential and the only other one I’m aware of now is Augur.

hello @amadeobrands , i have a question on the stable coins.
would it be possible for tether being a centralized stable coin to overrule a decentralized stable coin by imposing new protocols and bring centralization into the market by doing so?

Hi Amadeo, I’m totally new to DeFi but what you have taught so far in DeFi 101 course are already a lot for me to digest. Kudos to you. Now i can make more sense to what Ivan has been talking about in this daily good morning show. Thanks!

Since I am quite new to the topic I don’t exactly know how helpful my suggestion is. But you can check it and if it qualifies you can add it to your list.
