This is a group for anyone interested in learning about decentralized finance (DeFi) applications built on public permissionless blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin. DeFi applications include decentralized (peer-to-peer) payments, exchanges, lending, insurance, derivatives, and asset management. We welcome your participation in meetups, suggestions on topics, speakers, and venues (we're currently looking for venue sponsors). DeFi app developers, if you want to demo a DeFi app, please email us at DeFiToronto@gmail.com or DM any of our organizers via Meetup messaging. Disclaimer: Any discussion and information shared in this group is for educational purposes only, not financial advice.
