The Free Course on Finance Is an Initiative of the Laboratory of Financial Technological Innovations of the Central Bank
The Central Bank of Brazil will administer a free online course, both theoretical and practical, that focuses on decentralized finance (DeFi). Classes for the course start next Friday, the 6th.
The initiative to distribute free finance courses comes from a project by LIFT Learning (Laboratory of Financial Technological Innovations) of the Central Bank of Brazil, which aims to provide new students of the free finance course with essential tools for a complete understanding of decentralized finance, both technically and operationally, as well as contextualizing it within the most developed financial ecosystems and cryptocurrency markets today.

In addition to this theoretical part on Solidity programming, selected students will also be introduced to the technical and practical principles of other sectors of the cryptocurrency industry, such as Web3, NFTs (non-fungible tokens), and DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations).
