Introduction to the Metaverse, Web 3.0, and DeFi:

The Metaverse, Web 3.0, and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) are three key technologies that are changing the way we interact with the digital world, and the way we do business. The Metaverse is a virtual world that exists entirely in digital space, and allows users to interact with each other and with digital objects in a highly immersive and interactive environment. Web 3.0, also known as the decentralized web, is the next generation of the internet, which is being built on decentralized technologies such as blockchain, and aims to provide a more secure and private online experience. DeFi, on the other hand, is a financial system that operates on decentralized technologies such as blockchain, and aims to provide financial services and products that are accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, without the need for intermediaries such as banks. These three technologies are closely interconnected, and have the potential to create a new paradigm for the way we interact with digital assets and with each other. In this masterclass, we will explore the potential of these technologies for fintech, and how they are transforming the financial landscape.
