In week 3, we will continue our exploration of the DeFi world by taking a closer look at some of the applications used for borrowing, lending and speculating in DeFi.

Before you move on to week 3, let’s check your understanding with a brief quiz on the content we covered this week. Use this quiz to gauge your understanding of the content and identify areas where you may benefit from further review. You can take the quiz as many times as you wish.
