Learn DeFi.
From First Principles.

Seed phrases, hardware wallets, phishing attacks, approval management, and the exact mistakes responsible for 90% of DeFi losses. With a security audit checklist.

Liquidity pools, smart contracts, AMMs, and yield — explained with analogies and without assuming any prior knowledge. The guide you wish you'd had on day one.

How token unlocks work, how to read a vesting schedule, and how to calculate real dilution risk when 79% of supply is still locked (like BR right now).

A reproducible framework for evaluating any DeFi project: team verification, contract audit checks, TVL analysis, tokenomics red flags, and community sentiment.

The beacon chain, validators, attestations, and what "32 ETH required" really means. A technical-but-accessible breakdown with no assumed prior knowledge.

The mechanics of LST tokens, rebasing vs non-rebasing models, what happens during a depeg, and how to track NAV. Real examples from the 2022 stETH depeg.

The restaking primitive, operator registration, AVS economics, and why EigenLayer matters for Ethereum's long-term security model. Includes the slashing risk breakdown.

Operator-delegator model, AVS registration process, slashing conditions in code, and the economics of running a restaking node at scale. Includes contract analysis.

Every common DeFi phishing vector: fake URLs, Discord DMs, "verify your wallet" scams, malicious approvals, and address poisoning. With screenshots of real attacks.

Severity levels, what "mitigated" vs "acknowledged" actually means, which findings matter, and real examples from Peckshield and SlowMist reports on live protocols.

Reading verified source code, checking for dangerous owner functions (mint, pause, blacklist), analyzing holder distribution, and spotting red flags — without writing a single line of code.

A technical deep dive into EigenLayer's slashing mechanics, the conditions that trigger penalties, operator track records, and how to model your personal slashing exposure.

Build a complete protocol research workflow using only free tools. Includes Dune SQL query templates, a DeFiLlama cross-reference method, and a reproducible research checklist.

Headline APY numbers are always misleading. Here's the actual math: base ETH APR minus protocol fee plus AVS rewards minus gas costs. A worked example with current BR numbers.

A 50% volume/MCap ratio in 24h (like BR today) vs. BTC's typical 2-5%. What this signals, when it's a bullish sign vs. a manipulation flag, and how to interpret it systematically.

Where DeFi yields actually come from. Spoiler: most "high APY" sources are temporary and unsustainable. Here's how to tell the difference and what questions to ask.

Principal tokens, yield tokens, and the implied APY calculation — explained completely. Includes a decision framework for when PT/YT strategies outperform simple holding.

Lock-mint, burn-mint, and message-passing architectures explained. Then: why $2B+ has been stolen from bridges, the exact attack vectors used, and how to evaluate bridge security.
