We are a group of pioneers and enthusiasts passionately devoted to building a more decentralized internet by utilizing leading-edge Web3 and blockchain technologies. Some of our early projects include generative NFT art projects and blockchain games. Nowadays, we are entirely focused on DeFi Saver, a web application for managing decentralized finance (DeFi). We uphold, share, and believe in Ethereum ethos and values from the beginning.

We see a lot of problems with the way the Internet and our society are currently organized but also a massive opportunity to improve various services with Web3 and blockchain technologies. By providing unique DeFi services that put control back into the hands of users, we hope to help pave the way for a more decentralized and democratized digital future.

We envision a world where people can completely control their digital identities and data. At the heart of our vision is the belief that a decentralized approach will lead to a more transparent, inclusive, and fair digital society, based on rules and protocols enforced by decentralized algorithms, that benefits everyone and is controlled by no one.

We believe that the Master in Computational Finance (MCF) provides students with a unique opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the ever-changing field of finance and its intersection with technology. We are committed to promoting education and supporting talented individuals, and will provide a scholarship to one exceptional student selected by the Master in Computational Finance faculty, regardless of their nationality or residence.
