NOTE: As you cruise along this series, you will notice how fast the DeFi space is; both in terms of execution and change. So if you happen to spot a discrepancy between what is said and what is shown on screen, particularly in regards to numbers, it is due to that. Keep it in mind and have a look at the links provided below for updated data.

At first glance, DeFi -- or decentralised finance, can appear a little intimidating to get started with. For those who feel lost or don't know where to start, we've put together a series of films that will gently place you into the world of DeFi and explain what it is, how it works, and where to get started. We will cover the basics, and a little extra, concisely as possible. It is up to you to take the leap of faith.

Harmony's 9th internal hackathon was all about bridges, connecting different chains and allowing value to pass between them, trustlessly and permissionlessly.

In this film hear from CEO Stephen Tse and engineer Jacky about the challenges, the benefits and the importance of bridge infrastructure in powering the next great wave of adoption.

Try out the bridge on testnet for yourself: http://rainbow.hmy.cc.ink/#/home

It’s pretty easy to swap between assets native to the same chain. Well, how about swapping across different chains in a decentralized, peer-to-peer manner? DeFi's next big thing, JellySwap, is here to do just that.

ERC20 tokens and, more specifically, ICOs fuelled the extraordinary market of 2017 but what are these tokens and how easy is it to actually deploy one?

In this film we repurpose an Ethereum repo to do exactly that.
