课程简介

课程名称:去中心化金融(DeFi)机遇与风险 课程概述:去中心化金融与金融的未来是一套专注于去中心化金融的四个课程的系列,最后一门课程名为“DeFi机遇与风险”。学习此课程之前,必须完成前三门课程:I. DeFi基础设施;II. DeFi基本组成;III. DeFi深度分析。课程开始时,强调分析任何新技术时必须明确评估其风险与挑战。鉴于DeFi仅存在数年,面临众多风险。课程首先讨论最明显的风险:智能合约风险。智能合约是DeFi的基础,其代码是公开的,容易成为黑客攻击的目标。相比传统金融,DeFi的开源特性让黑客更容易获取代码和数据。此外,还研究了其他多种风险,包括:治理风险、预言机风险、扩展风险、去中心化交易所(DEX)风险、托管风险、环境风险和监管风险。 课程大纲: 1. 智能合约风险 - 描述:该模块探讨智能合约风险的逻辑错误和经济利用,同时重点分析一些特定的攻击实例,包括借助大规模闪电贷实施的Yearn.finance攻击。 2. 治理、DNS、预言机、DEX和托管风险 - 描述:该模块进一步探讨治理攻击、DNS攻击、预言机漏洞以及DEX风险,最后分析不同类型的托管安排及其带来的风险。 3. 扩展风险 - 描述:扩展风险是DeFi面临的最大风险之一,目前以太坊区块链的交易处理能力约为每秒15笔,而Visa网络则达65,000笔。本模块探讨解决扩展问题的潜在方案。 4. 监管与环境风险 - 描述:该模块研究DeFi空间所面临的监管风险,包括KYC/AML法规的适用及某些DeFi代币可能被视为证券的潜在后果,还讨论了中央银行数字货币的问题,并探讨了工作量证明共识对环境的影响及向环境友好的股权证明的迁移。 5. 胜者与败者 - 描述:课程末尾探讨了在这些风险与机遇中,哪些项目可能成为赢家,哪些又可能成为输家。 该课程为希望深入了解去中心化金融生态系统及其潜在风险与回报的学习者提供了系统的教育。

课程大纲

Name:Smart Contract Risk

Description:The first model explores both logic errors and economic exploits that characterize smart contract risk. We then focus on some specific exploits including the Yearn.finance exploit that utilized a massive flash loan.

Name:Governance, DNS, Oracle, DEX and Custodial Risk

Description:The second model explores additional risks including governance attacks, DNS attacks, oracle vulnerabilities, and DEX risk. The module ends with an exploration of the different types of custodial arrangements and the risks that each approach creates.

Name:Scaling Risk

Description:Scaling risk is one of the biggest risks facing DeFi. Current capacity of the Ethereum blockchain is only about 15 transactions per second whereas the Visa network is 65,000. This module explores potential solutions to the scaling problem.

Name:Regulatory and Environmental Risk

Description:The final module explores the regulatory risk that the DeFi space faces from KYC/AML to the potential declaration that some DeFi tokens are securities. Central bank digital currencies are also explored. We then explore the environmental impact of Proof of Work consensus and the migration to the environmentally friendly Proof of Stake.

Name:Winners and Losers

课程详情

DeFi and the Future of Finance is a set of four courses that focus on decentralized finance. The final course is called DeFi Opportunities and Risks. It is essential that you complete the first three courses: I. DeFi Infrastructure; II. DeFi Primitives; and III. DeFi Deep Dive before beginning the fourth course. The course starts with the premise that an analysis of any new technology must clearly gauge the risks and challenges. Given that DeFi is only a few years old there are plenty of risks. The course begins with the most obvious risk: smart contract risk. Smart contracts are foundational for DeFi. The code of these contracts is public - opening a clear attack vector for hackers. That is, in traditional finance, hackers need to break into a system to get access to the code and data. In DeFi, everything is open source.There are many other risks studied including: Governance risk; Oracle risk; Scaling risk; Decentralized Exchange or DEX risk; Custodial risk; Environmental risk; and Regulatory risk.
