Overview

DeFi Shapes Finance is your guide to decentralized finance and smart contracts. It starts with Bitcoin's 2009 debut. Then it jumps to Ethereum's 2015 smart contract breakthrough. You'll trace DeFi's growth through MakerDAO and the 2020 summer surge. It breaks down the ecosystem: blockchains, wallets, oracles. It digs into tech like the Ethereum Virtual Machine. You'll meet stars like Uniswap and Aave. The book spans lending, trading, stablecoins, and derivatives. It explores governance via DAOs. It tackles security with hacks like Poly Network's $600 million loss. It maps DeFi globally-Africa, Asia, the U.S. It faces regulatory battles head-on. It peers into the future with Layer 2 and tokenized assets. It's packed with data: $50 billion TVL, $1 trillion forecasts. It's real-world, from remittances to war-time fundraising. This book stands out where others stumble-it's not just jargon or hype. It weaves a story with hard stats, like Dune Analytics' transaction volumes, and raw examples, like a $200 million flash loan profit. Other books gloss over the gritty details; DeFi Shapes Finance dives deep into code, risks, and global stakes. It's practical-think security checklists and onboarding tricks-while rivals stay theoretical. It's current, with 2023 insights like Synthetix's $500 million market, not stale 2020 takes. It connects dots others miss: DeFi's GDP boost in small nations, its clash with TradFi. You get a front-row seat to a revolution, not a recycled lecture.
