Liquidity pools power many DEXs, but they carry risks.
Prices can change while your assets are deposited, creating impermanent loss.
In our next lesson, we'll learn why liquidity providers earn fees for supplying assets to these pools. 🚀
Hope you notification is turned on.
Day 17 of Learning DeFi in Web3
Topic: Liquidity Pools
A liquidity pool is a smart contract holding crypto that traders can swap against. Instead of waiting for a buyer or seller, users trade with the pool. This makes decentralized trading possible and helps DEXs run smoothly.
Liquidity comes from users called liquidity providers. They deposit token pairs into a pool, such as ETH and USDC.
In return, providers can earn a share of trading fees generated whenever people use that pool often.
Most modern DEXs use liquidity pools instead of matching buyers with sellers directly.
Users provide token pairs to these pools, creating liquidity traders need for swaps.
In the next lesson, we'll break down what a liquidity pool is, where it comes from, and why it matters. 🚀
Day 16 of Learning DeFi in Web3
Topic: What is a DEX?
A DEX lets people trade crypto directly from their wallets without handing funds to a central exchange. Smart contracts execute swaps automatically, allowing users to trade without relying on a traditional middleman.
Traditional exchanges often hold your assets while you trade.
A DEX works differently: you connect your wallet, choose the assets you want to swap, review the transaction, and approve it.
Your funds remain in your wallet until the blockchain transaction executes safely.
I shared this message in our engagement WhatsApp group and I felt I should also share it here.
Everyone mining interlink, please try as much as possible to be active. It's not just for the benefit of the group members but for yours too.
From tomorrow, we enter the DeFi Deep Dive where we’ll learn about DEXs, liquidity pools, staking, yield farming, lending, borrowing, liquidation, and DeFi risks.
You’ve built the foundation, and now you’re ready to understand how decentralized finance actually works. 🚀
Day 15: Learning DeFi in Web3
Todays topic: Web3 Foundations Recap
We’ve reached the end of the Web3 Foundations phase. In the last 14 days, you learned what DeFi is, how wallets work, why blockchains exist, and the difference between coins, tokens, and stablecoins.
These are core building blocks of Web3
You also learned tokens vs coins, stablecoins, and centralized vs decentralized systems. Most jump straight into trading without understanding these ideas first, reason they get confused when using wallets, exchanges, or DeFi applications.
Centralization offers convenience & customer support, while decentralization offers ownership, transparency, and permissionless access. Neither is perfect, but knowing the difference helps you choose the right tool.
Tomorrow we'll wrap up Web3 Foundations with a complete recap.🚀

Day 14 of Learning DeFi in Web3
Topic: Centralized vs Decentralized
One of the biggest ideas in Web3 is the difference between centralized and decentralized systems. Understanding this helps explain why DeFi exists and why many people prefer controlling their own money -
A decentralized system runs on blockchain technology. Smart contracts replace the middleman, and users interact directly with the network using their own wallets. You keep control of your assets while transactions stay transparent and verifiable.
This is the reason I preach it and create videos for it.
Meanwhile, you can hardly get KYC if you are not active. Being active comes with a lot of perks.
You earn 180 ITLG from the group if you mine all 5 circles in a day. This is even more profitable for those who have no invite and only mine the 20 ITLG base reward.
Interlink isn't a token but a layer 1 blockchain network. Interlink is just like Pi Network, a castle on its own.
