Book 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.

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
• Create smart contracts for crypto loans integrated with Web3 libraries
