At first glance, DeFi -- or decentralised finance, can appear a little intimidating to get started with. For those who feel lost or don't know where to begin, we've put together a series of 30 films that will gently place you into the world of DeFi and explain what it is, how it works, and where to get started. We will cover the basics, and a little extra, concisely as possible. It is up to you to take the leap of faith.

GM defiers! Today we’re diving into zkSync Era. This is a zero-knowledge-powered Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum from Matter Labs. And it’s attracted over $120M in TVL since launching its public mainnet two months ago. Matter Labs managed to raise $200M in November during the depths of the bear market, so VCs certainly think that its technology holds promise. Today, we’re going to use some applications that are live on Era. And if you watch till the end, we’ll walk you through the exact steps to qualify for their ‘potential’ airdrop, so stick around.
