In this lesson we explore [Hop](https://app.hop.exchange), a protocol allowing users to send assets instantly between networks. Today Hop supports sending tokens between Ethereum, xDAI and Polygon but in the very near future they will support Optimism, Arbitrum and other relevant scaling solutions.

In this tutorial we explore:

- How does Hop work?
- How to send assets across different networks using Hop?
- How to become a liquidity provider on Hop to earn trading fees
- How to Profit from Arbitrage opportunities

Have fun trying it out!

This course introduces the newest applications in the DeFi space and explains in simple terms how they work.

Lending and borrowing are some of the most important functions of any financial system. On Ethereum you can do it **trustlessly** without needing a bank to mediate between borrowers and lenders.

This means anyone from anywhere in the world can earn interest on their assets and/or get a loan without having to do any Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification or credit checks.

The [Aave](https://aave.com/) protocol is currently managing over $20 billion in user funds as a result of this revolutionary approach to money markets.

Uniswap is a decentralised exchange protocol which launched on the Ethereum mainnet in November 2018. It was created by Hayden Adams who was trying to learn Solidity, the programming language of the Ethereum network. The idea of Uniswap had originally been laid out by Vitalik Buterin, in a Reddit post but Hayden thought it would be a cool idea to implement it in practice to train his Solidity skills. He later received a grant from the Ethereum Foundation to finish the project and launch it to the Ethereum mainnet. 

Today, Uniswap shows average trading volumes of $450 million dollar per day, oftentimes even outperforming centralized exchanges like Coinbase or Gemini. When you trade on Uniswap, there is no intermediary between you and the Blockchain. The entire trade is orchestraded by smart contracts. 

In this tutorial, we’ll explain how Uniswap works and how to make your first trade.

In this lesson we teach you how to swap tokens on the most popular decentralized exchange, Uniswap.
