DeFi in Focus: Join 4 Leading Crypto Experts for a Free, Live Webinar

Several large-scale software exploitations and consequential thefts on DeFi platforms over the last several months have shown us that 'trustless' systems aren't as 'trustless' the may seem.

How can DeFi platforms be built and operated in a safe way? Who benefits from DeFi the most, and what role will these systems play in our future?

Finance Magnates is happy to present the next installment in our live webinar series: next week, we'll be joined by four of the cryptocurrency industry's most prominent experts--Teana Baker-Taylor, Alex Mashinsky, Brian Norton, and Lex Sokolin--to discuss an increasingly relevant topic in the cryptosphere: the ups and downs of decentralized financial systems, or 'DeFi.'
