Bitcoin is the most representative cryptocurrency, which represents the rise and fall of the cryptocurrency market and has witnessed history. A deep understanding of all aspects of Bitcoin is the first step into the cryptocurrency market

The rapid growth of Web3 in recent years has accelerated the demand for more efficient and scalable infrastructure. From public blockchains and Layer 2 networks to data availability layers and modular architectures, the ecosystem is moving from experimentation toward real-world deployment. This course will guide you through the core concepts, fundamental technologies, and the evolving landscape of modern (efficient and low-cost) Web3 infrastructure. You will learn how to evaluate whether a network's performance design is sound, how cost structures influence application development, and the potential directions for the next generation of decentralized infrastructure.

Over more than a decade of blockchain evolving from concept to reality, crypto payments have become a crucial bridge connecting the digital world with the real economy. This course, "The Rise of Crypto Payments: How On-Chain Finance Enters Everyday Life", aims to guide you, starting from an investment perspective, to understand how cryptocurrencies are transforming from assets into currencies. They are no longer merely speculative tools in financial markets but are becoming the new infrastructure reshaping the global payment system. Through a blend of technology, regulatory frameworks, and real-world case studies, we explore why payments represent the most natural—and most transformative—entry point for the Web3 ecosystem.

As blockchain technology evolves from an experimental concept to a platform supporting real-world applications, the conflicts among performance, cost, and scalability have gradually surfaced. Traditional monolithic blockchains catalyzed the industry's early growth, yet they have also exposed structural bottlenecks when facing complex applications and large-scale adoption. The emergence of modular blockchains represents not merely a technical optimization but a fundamental shift in architectural thinking—by decoupling core functions such as execution, settlement, and data availability, modular blockchains redefine how blockchain systems scale, collaborate, and evolve. This course begins precisely at this turning point, guiding you to understand the profound changes underway in blockchain infrastructure.

As the crypto market gradually undergoes structural integration with the traditional financial system, "tokenized stocks" are transitioning from conceptual exploration to practical experimentation. Tokenized stocks do not merely represent a change in the form of trading U.S. stocks; rather, they entail a systematic restructuring of asset issuance methods, trading hours, and market accessibility. They not only reveal the crypto world's genuine demand for compliant assets but also clearly highlight the inherent boundaries of on-chain finance in terms of law, custody, and rights mapping. Understanding tokenized stocks essentially means understanding how TradFi and Crypto compromise, reorganize, and coexist with each other.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing digitalization of the global financial system, the institutionalized trust and multi-layered intermediary structures that traditional finance has long relied upon are facing practical challenges in terms of efficiency, transparency, and global collaboration capabilities. The emergence of blockchain technology is not merely a new form of assets; rather, as a component of financial infrastructure, it redefines the underlying methods of value recording, transaction execution, and asset management. Starting from this structural shift, this course begins with the operational logic of traditional finance and systematically unfolds an analysis of blockchain finance, asset tokenization, and the pathways for integrating old and new financial systems. It aims to help you establish a comprehensive cognitive framework for understanding the evolution of contemporary finance.

This course provides a systematic explanation of the core mechanics behind ETF leveraged tokens — a product designed to deliver multiple times the daily returns of an underlying asset by hedging in the perpetual futures market. These tokens are high-risk, high-volatility instruments, best suited for short-term swing trading or hedging strategies. When used properly, leveraged tokens can amplify gains or hedge market risk, offering key advantages such as:reduced losses in downtrends, and enhanced profits in uptrends.

Welcome to your first step into the world of blockchain technology. In just one hour, you'll go from confused about cryptocurrency to understanding the revolutionary technology behind it all.

This course covers everything you need to know about using practical crypto tools. It provides important guidelines for using crypto data aggregators, DeFi data analytics tools, and crypto information platforms. Through this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of these practical analytics tools.

With Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs officially entering the mainstream financial system, the crypto market is transitioning from being “trading-driven” to “allocation-driven.” ETFs are not just new investment instruments—they represent critical infrastructure that transforms the way capital enters the market, influences pricing mechanisms, and reshapes market segmentation.

Blockchains are powerful but limited by their isolation from the outside world. Smart contracts can only process on-chain data, yet most real-world applications, from finance and insurance to gaming and logistics, depend on external information. Programmable oracle networks solve this problem by securely delivering and processing off-chain data for use on-chain. They extend blockchain functionality, enabling decentralized applications to interact with markets, APIs, sensors, and even other blockchains in a trust-minimized way.

In the digital world, "identity" has long been viewed as a login tool, with little serious discussion about the power structures and trust mechanisms behind it. With the rise of Web3, decentralized finance (DeFi), and on-chain governance, identity has begun to evolve beyond a mere key to access systems—it now carries functions of credit, permissions, and value distribution. This course starts from this transformation, guiding you to re-examine the evolving role of identity in the digital society, and how decentralized identity serves as the critical foundation for reconstructing trust in Web3.

As stablecoins continue to scale and on-chain clearing and risk management mechanisms mature, DeFi lending is transitioning from a high-risk experiment into sustainable financial infrastructure. Compared with early models that relied heavily on narratives and incentives, the new generation of DeFi lending focuses more on interest rate stability, risk priceability, and capital efficiency, increasingly becoming the preferred gateway for institutional capital entering on-chain finance. From a financial-structure perspective, this course explains why DeFi lending has re-emerged as a core growth engine and the critical role it plays in the era of institutionalization.

Welcome to The Beginner’s Guide to Trading Fundamentals — a structured course designed for learners who wish to build a solid foundation in both traditional finance and crypto markets. Whether you’re a newcomer exploring the markets for the first time or an experienced trader seeking to clarify strategic frameworks, this series will help you understand the underlying principles of market operations. From “the difference between trading and investing” to “fundamental and technical analysis,” and “market cycles and investor psychology,” these five progressive lessons will teach you how to combine analytical methods, risk management, and psychological discipline to make more rational and higher-probability decisions in real market conditions.

Prediction markets are rapidly emerging as one of the fastest-growing and most institutionally watched application areas in Web3. As real-world events become increasingly intertwined with on-chain assets, market participants are turning to prices to capture “probability consensus” ahead of time. This evolution positions prediction markets as a form of financial infrastructure that reflects sentiment, decision-making, and expectations about the future. This course will help you understand why prediction markets can serve as “price oracles for the real world,” why traditional polling and survey methods are losing effectiveness, and how on-chain prediction markets leverage transparent mechanisms, decentralized settlement, and real-time data flows to construct a credible probability system for future events.
