Cryptography: Algorithms, Protocols, and Standards for Computer Security (Hardcover)

A Practitioner's Guide to Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Digital Assets, and Distributed Ledger Technology

In Decentralizing Finance: How DeFi, Digital Assets and Distributed Ledger Technology are Transforming Finance, blockchain and digital assets expert Kenneth Bok offers an insightful exploration of the current state of decentralized finance (DeFi). As distributed ledger technology (DLT) increasingly optimizes and democratizes financial ecosystems worldwide, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to the most salient aspects of the ongoing transformation.

The text delves into both crypto-native DeFi and DLT applications in regulated financial markets, providing:

• Comprehensive analysis of crypto-native DeFi across key areas such as its competitive landscape, infrastructure, financial instruments, activities, and applications
• Coverage of key risks, mitigation strategies, and regulatory frameworks, analyzed through the perspective of international financial standard-setting bodies
• Insight into how DLT is reshaping traditional financial systems through innovations like central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized assets, tokenized deposits, and institutional-grade DeFi platforms

In a world where financial technology is rewriting the fundamental code of digital currency, the future of money is undeniably DLT-centric. How will this seismic shift interact with existing financial infrastructures? Can decentralization and traditional banking coexist and potentially synergize? This book endeavors to answer these pressing questions for financial professionals navigating these transformative times.

Authored by a former Goldman Sachs trader, past Head of Growth at Zilliqa, and an early Ethereum investor with extensive experience in both traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem, Decentralizing Finance provides you with an insider's perspective on the revolution that is DeFi.

《去中心化金融（DeFi）、數位資產和分散式帳本技術實踐指南》

在《去中心化金融：DeFi、數位資產和分散式帳本技術如何改變金融》一書中，區塊鏈和數位資產專家Kenneth Bok深入探討了當前去中心化金融（DeFi）的現狀。隨著分散式帳本技術（DLT）在全球金融生態系統中的優化和民主化，本書成為了這一持續變革中最重要的方面的全面指南。

本書深入探討了加密原生的DeFi和受規管金融市場中的DLT應用，提供了以下內容：
- 對加密原生DeFi在競爭環境、基礎設施、金融工具、活動和應用等關鍵領域的全面分析
- 通過國際金融標準制定機構的視角，對關鍵風險、緩解策略和監管框架進行分析
- 洞察DLT如何通過中央銀行數字貨幣（CBDCs）、代幣化資產、代幣化存款和機構級DeFi平台等創新重塑傳統金融體系

在金融科技正在重寫數位貨幣的基本代碼的世界中，無可否認，未來的貨幣將以DLT為中心。這種巨大變革將如何與現有金融基礎設施互動？去中心化和傳統銀行業能否共存並潛在產生協同效應？本書試圖回答這些金融專業人士在這個變革時代中所面臨的迫切問題。

本書的作者是一位前高盛交易員，Zilliqa的前增長主管，以及一位早期以太坊投資者，擁有豐富的傳統金融和加密生態系統經驗。《去中心化金融》為您提供了一位內部人士對DeFi革命的獨到觀點。
