In this first part, you will get an overview of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and learn the generic architecture of DeFi applications. Building on the concepts you will learn, you will start building a DeFi application by creating a starter project. You will learn how to use Hardhat to build, deploy, and debug smart contracts written with Solidity, test smart contracts with JavaScript, interact with smart contracts from UI with Ethers.js and React.js, and the DeFi wallet connection with the UI.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Introduction to DeFi
  • Chapter 2, Getting Started with DeFi Application Development

Description

Enter the world of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) with Building Full Stack DeFi Applications. Understand how this blockchain-based financial technology, designed to manage crypto assets, runs independently without centralized financial institutions like banks and brokerages, eliminating the fees that banks and other financial companies charge for using their services. This book will show you how DeFi solutions are built with smart contracts running on blockchains and how they allow users to gain and earn crypto assets based on the trust of the smart contracts. This book uncovers the inner workings of DeFi by guiding you through the mathematical foundations and teaching you how to build real-world DeFi products with Solidity and JavaScript. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll learn how to implement smart contracts of liquidity pools to trade cryptocurrencies and implement staking, including farming features that allow users to earn. You’ll also find out how to create asset pools that allow users to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies and generate interest. Additionally, you’ll discover how to use Web3 libraries to build the frontend of DeFi products. By the end of this book, you’ll will be well acquainted with popular tools, libraries, and design patterns for implementing a full-stack DeFi application with Web3 and Solidity.

Who is this book for?

If you are a blockchain developer experienced in Web3 and Solidity development, or anyone interested in learning about blockchain and DeFi technologies, this book is for you. Product managers, executives, and other management professionals looking to start or delve into a DeFi project will also benefit from this book, as will developers and architects with basic blockchain knowledge who want to advance their skills in building full-stack DeFi products. Experience with Solidity, JavaScript, and Web3 will help you get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Understand the key concepts and principles of DeFi and how it works
  • Get to grips with smart contract development to solve complex problems
  • Build your experience in designing, building, and deploying Web3 applications
  • Implement liquidity pools and swapping features for seamless crypto exchanges
  • Develop staking and farming features for DeFi applications

I received the book three weeks ago and now I just finished reading it! I want to say "It is wonderful!"It really explains a lot of contents that I have never seen from any other books. As an engineer who want to go into the Web3 space, this book is a true deep dive from math and whitepapers, to arch diagram, to smart contracts, to the web application that you can understand, run and see it. The book breaks down into many popular DeFi applications, the explanations, demonstrations are very valuable for a tech person who want to build something.

The media could not be loaded. This Book is jam packed with knowledge and comprehensive guides to building decentral finance on blockchain. So much detail on how to build different features for crypto projects and developers on all levels. It is definitely a book for every crypto enthusiast to have. There are codes and instructions that not even ai has ability to do yet. Looking forward to making great use of the information in the book.

This is an extensive book covering the ins and outs of how web3 Defi applications work. It takes you on a tour to design and build a Defi project, from mathematical theory to software implementation using Solidity and Javascript. The author clearly puts all of his knowledge of 7-year Web3 experience into this single book. If you want to build a Defi application, or understand how Defi works, this should be the first book to check out!
