Very, Very well prepared course.
Enjoyed it very much.
Firstly, you should charge this course.
If not, send your wallet address so that people can drop a Tip.
For next steps, you should consider providing courses on creating Programmatic interaction - FlashLoans, Arbitrarge, Swaps etc.

It was comprehensive.. Having mostly previously used CEX there was a lot of confusion about web-3, DEX, smart contracts, and how to implement them.. I am still lost on when or advantages of using token loans but the information was very informative and the instructor was clear and very knowledgeable. I’m looking forward to finding more information by Blockwise .. Thank-you!
