How to get started in DeFi
This week we're winding back to the where it all starts - the first steps into DeFi. We'll guide you from getting an understanding of what DeFi is, how it fits into your crypto journey and then shepherd you through setting up a wallet using Metamask, swapping tokens and then making your very first DeFi move using Anchor's 20% saving rate on Terra without ever leaving Ethereum all thanks to Orion Money.
