BRAINS 2022 – Tutorial<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Title: DeFi Building Blocks<\/strong><\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speakers:<\/strong> Lewis Gudgeon, Sam Werner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Date:<\/strong> Tuesday, September 27th<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong> Want to learn how to DeFi? In this tutorial on Decentralized Finance (DeFi) we will first survey the state of the art in DeFi, synthesizing and evaluating some of its key technical innovations, before presenting a taxonomy of the major protocols. This will be based on the Systematization of Knowledge (SoK) coauthored by several of the presenters. We will then turn to a live coding portion of the tutorial where we will showcase a number of pieces of DeFi program logic, highlighting important programming patterns and capabilities of DeFi protocols at present. The aim is to provide newcomers to DeFi with an expansive and insightful tour of the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio:<\/strong> Sam is a PhD student in the Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering at Imperial College, supervised by Prof William Knottenbelt. In his research he is trying to answer questions around incentive structures found in blockchain systems, ranging from mining pools to DeFi protocols. His latest research work includes a Systematisation of Knowledge on DeFi, examining different types of economic and technical security risks found in DeFi protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio: <\/strong>Lewis is a Computer Science PhD candidate at Imperial College, publishing mainly on DeFi risks. Prior to this he worked as an economics consultant. He holds an MPhil in Economics Research from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Warwick University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
