DeFi for Beginners: How to Earn in Crypto Safely (not trading!)

Wednesday, April 29, 2026
5:00 PM
Canggu
Details
The financial system crypto actually built — and how to use it.
There’s a version of finance that runs 24/7 with no banks, no KYC forms, and no one who can freeze your account. It’s called DeFi, and while most people focus on crypto prices, this system has quietly been growing in the background.
This workshop is your entry point. You’ll learn what DeFi actually is, why it exists, and how it differs from both traditional banking and the crypto exchanges you might already know.
We’ll also explore the difference between centralized exchanges (CEX) like Binance or Bybit and decentralized exchanges (DEX), and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. We’ll touch on lending and borrowing in DeFi, one of the most powerful tools available to everyday users.
No laptops needed for this one. It’s conceptual, practical, and designed to give you a clear map of the landscape. Workshop 2 is where things become hands-on.
What you’ll learn
• What DeFi is and why it exists
• How DeFi differs from banks and crypto exchanges
• CEX vs DEX — what you’re actually trading off
• How lending and borrowing works without a bank
• Opportunities even if you’re starting small
• Key risks to watch out for from day one
