DeFi and Yield Farming have been the most popular buzzwords among the crypto community in recent months. Some DeFi tokens can skyrocket to more than 10K USD in just a few days but drop back to near zero also in a matter of days! Besides that, people in the crypto community are talking about yield farming instead of mining nowadays. Most of you might scratch your head and wonder what the heck is that? Skeptics might argue that DeFi is merely hype, but the total value of digital assets locked in the DeFi platforms has reached an astounding $30 billion, thus creating huge DeFi economics. Indeed, DeFi has become an important investment tool that investors cannot ignore. However, the complexity of the DeFi protocols and DeFi coins that exist today and new ones that are emerging every day at a mind-boggling speed has created a huge challenge not only for newcomers but also seasoned crypto traders. Therefore, I have authored this handbook with the mission to help you understand DeFi and know how to maximize returns from various DeFi tools. This book is written especially for beginners therefore I have minimized the jargons and included a lot of screenshots for easy learning. If you are an intermediate or advanced user, you may skip many of the steps and try out the DeFi platforms straightaway.This handbook provides a comprehensive guide on how to use all the major DeFi platforms comprising decentralized exchanges, loan, savings markets, DeFi applications and more. They include the likes of Uniswap, Sushiswap, Compound, dYdX, AAVE, YAM finance, Balancer, Bancor, MakerDAO and more. Besides that, this book also explains in detail the concepts of yield farming and how to use it to maximize returns in DeFi. On top of that, the book also runs through the concepts of blockchain and cryptocurrencies particularly on Bitcoin and Ethereum to help you understand decentralized money better.

Blockchain’s significant advances since 2020 – including a plethora of new use cases – have necessitated a comprehensive revision of the first edition of this matchless resource. While new chapters and topics have been added, the handbook still follows the systematic and structured approach of the first edition. Each contributor – all of them practitioners experienced with blockchain projects within their respective areas of expertise and specific jurisdictions – elucidates the implications of blockchain technology and related legal issues under such headings as the following: understanding blockchain from a technological point of view; regulatory aspects of blockchain; smart contracts; data privacy; capital markets; crypto asset regulation in Europe, the UK and the US; intellectual property; and antitrust law. The foundational chapter on the technical aspects of blockchain technology has been meticulously expanded to elucidate the proof of stake consensus mechanism alongside fresh insights into the ERC-721 Token Standard for non-fungible tokens, decentralized exchanges, staking, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies. As blockchain law cements itself as a distinct legal field, this new edition is poised to be an invaluable asset for legal practitioners, in-house lawyers, IT professionals, consultancy firms, blockchain associations, and legal scholars. At a depth that allows non-IT experts to understand the groundwork for legal assessments, the handbook provides those charting the dynamic waters of this field of law with a compass, ensuring they are well-equipped to tackle the legal issues raised by the usage of blockchain technology.
