March 30. Workshops day

Workshop “Coding Yearn DeFi Strategies with HardHat with ⚜️GTON Capital Team”

1:30pm - 4:30pm

On Wednesday, March 30th, ⚜️GTON Capital will give two workshops in a row for developers and non-dev users.

One of them is “Coding Yearn DeFi Strategies with HardHat with ⚜️GTON Capital Team”. Yearn is one of the largest projects in DeFi, a pioneer which set a standard in lending aggregation and yield generation. It provides users with multiple strategies for yield optimization, which can vary from simple ones to very complex that use advanced developer tools.

In this workshop, you will learn how to create strategies in Solidity language, and how to test and deploy them using Typescript and the HardHat framework.
