Blockchain Advanced Program - Decentralized Finance (DeFi)

Blockchain is a disruptive technology that is profoundly transforming multiple industries, much like the Internet did 20 years ago. The ecosystem is evolving, new players are emerging, and they are paving the way for new business models. Initially marginal in the crypto industry, decentralized finance (DeFi) now relies on Blockchain technology to become a key application within this ecosystem. Blockchain promises transparency, trust, speed, and, most importantly, decentralization in asset transfers and monetary flow management, fundamentally reshaping the norms of traditional finance. The program is co-directed by Daniel Augot and Julien Prat, both researchers and lecturers at École Polytechnique and lead contributors to the "Blockchain & B2B Platforms" Chair. The Blockchain Advanced Program in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) provides professionals with the tools to understand the challenges, mechanisms, advantages, and limitations of this technology. This decentralized finance program is designed to equip professionals with the necessary skills to thrive in this constantly evolving and innovative ecosystem.
