These guides are the fastest way to navigate my long-form DeFi research archive. Each page gathers the core reads, concepts and historical cases for a specific topic. Pick a route, not a token to buy.
New to DeFi?
Start with the risk guide, then the Stablecoin Map and swap basics. Keep DeFi, AMM and liquidity pool definitions handy. The interfaces in older tutorials are dated; the risks do not vanish with a redesign.
Already deploying capital?
Read the lending risk framework, compare pegged-asset DEX designs and Curve versus Velodrome, then dig into veNFT infrastructure. Ask who pays the yield, who can change the rules and how you get out.
Beginner means fewer prerequisites, Intermediate connects the mechanisms, and Expert assumes you can follow protocol design and risk trade-offs: none of these labels means safe.
