UCSB-ECON
DeFi Seminar

By Graduate Students, For Graduate Students

Welcome!

The UCSB-ECON DeFi Seminar is a graduate-student-led seminar series, which takes place virtually (over Zoom) every Tuesday at 9:30 am PT.

 

We host researchers from around the world who share their research in decentralized finance and cryptoeconomics. Their research addresses the economic, societal, and/or technical questions that are raised in web3, where the internet is not only a network for exchanging information but also a network for exchanging value.

​

The DeFi Seminar is hosted in conjunction with the Department of Economics and the Department of Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara.
