In the webinar, Alex G. Lee will present the key aspects of design and development for the blockchain DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platforms. Alex G. Lee will discuss about the blockchain DeFi platform design and development systematically to help the blockcahin professionals who want to initiate a new DeFi project. Main Topics: 1. Liquidity Pool & Mining: bonding curves; market makers; yield farming & liquidity aggregation 2. Token Design: token supply & distribution; governance tokens; stablecoins; NFT 3. Blockchain System: interoperability/scalability/privacy/security; layer 1 & 2 systems; money legos/composability; AI for DeFi 4. Risk Management: technical/financial/legal risks 5. Business Models: DEX (margin trading); Money Market (flash loans); Fund; Derivatives (synthetic assets); Insurance; Curations 6. Patents Development
