We’re excited to announce that we are publishing our first-ever book. The Cointelligence Guide to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) looks at the current state of the DeFi industry, and considers the exciting possibilities for this field.

Written by Cointelligence CEO On Yavin and Chief Editor AJ Reardon, this book continues Cointelligence’s tradition of producing well-researched educational guides that provide a brand-neutral overview of the subject.

Learn all about DeFi

The Cointelligence Guide to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) will not only teach you about DeFi, but it also explains foundational concepts necessary to understand DeFi. Readers will find an overview of Ethereum, smart contracts, and oracle networks to help them understand how DeFi dapps work. They’ll find a history of the evolution of digital finance, showing how we arrived where we are today. And they will learn about DeFi solutions for payments, exchanges, insurance, and more — even the exciting new field of self-tokenization.

Because this field is growing and changing at an incredible pace, we’ll be updating the book regularly with the newest developments and latest stats on the DeFi industry.

This book was written for anyone who is interested in DeFi, including but not limited to: students, educators, developers, investors, newcomers to the crypto industry, and anyone working in the financial services, high tech, law, and real estate industries in any capacity, whether at a startup or a long-established institution.
