Genius Academy is Live – Cardano Feed
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Genius Academy!
Genius Academy is an upcoming educational portal where users can learn about crypto, blockchain, DeFi, and more. Being a part of the broader Genius Yield ecosystem, the Genius Academy arms readers with the necessary toolsets by availing in-depth articles for users to better grasp the increasingly sophisticated and dynamic crypto and DeFi ecosystems. This way, they can confidently leverage blockchain-led solutions presented by dependable DeFi protocols or cryptocurrency networks like Cardano as they inch closer to financial autonomy.
Regardless of experience in crypto and blockchain, Genius Academy users will learn about DeFi concepts like DEX, NFTs, curving bonds, liquidity pools, order books, concentrated liquidity, oracles, and much more. The academy will use its experienced team to create easy-to-consume DeFi, crypto, and blockchain content, thereby helping promote adoption. This mirrors Genius Yield’s objective of making DeFi solutions easy to utilize and blockchain technology, often wrapped in complex jargon, understandable for everyday users.
Strengthening user education is necessary for fast-tracking the uptake of DeFi and crypto solutions in the real world. According to a research study, by the close of 2021, there were less than 300 million unique crypto wallets, representing a 178 percent jump from 2020. Although the numbers are impressive, there was less than two percent of crypto acceptance in payments, despite substantial interest among online retailers to adopt digital assets. Researchers picked out fear related to volatility and asset security and the steep learning curve in crypto as obstacles slowing adoption. The Genius Academy is at the forefront of addressing the latter problem by availing a simple-to-use educational platform where users can, at any time, learn and grow their cryptocurrency and blockchain knowledge.
The Genius Academy is initially launching with over 70 articles, guides on DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain, and videos covering essential cryptocurrency-related topics. Genius Academy will gradually add more articles and courses on various topics, mainly in DeFi and crypto. Three reputable experts in Dr. Lars Brunjes, who holds a Ph.D. in pure mathematics from the University of Regensburg in Germany and is an expert in Haskell and Plutus programming languages; Christopher Fox, a Ph.D. holder who helps financial innovators shine as thought leaders, and Loic Staub, a Swiss attorney-at-law and a Regulatory Leaser at JayBee who has been active in the crypto field since 2016, will be part of the Genius Academy program. Dr. Lars is the Genius Yield Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and works on several scientific topics in IOG, the lead developer of the Cardano blockchain.
Commenting, Dr. Lars Brunjes said:
“I’m excited to help with the launch of the Genius Academy and its mission of educating the rapidly growing crypto base. This platform complements the broader objectives of the Genius Yield, an all-in-one platform democratizing DeFi. I’ll actively participate in this program as one of the Academy’s experts, sharing my knowledge on Plutus and Haskell.”
Genius Academy has broad plans of becoming a leading crypto and blockchain educational platform. Towards this grand goal, it acknowledges the importance of striking valuable collaboration with established institutions with whom they share similar goals. This is why the Genius Academy is partnering with the PSL University (Paris Sciences & Lettres), an umbrella bringing together 11 ivy-league universities and engineering schools in France.
In addition, Genius Academy works with several companies such as Emurgo Academy to explore synergies and provide our audiences with ever better content.
PSL is ranked in the top 50 highly ranked universities in the world and benefits from its close collaboration with three research institutions: Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), Institut national de recherche en sciences et technologies du numérique (INRIA), and Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale (INSERM).
- CNRS is the The French National Center for Scientific Research is the French state research organization and is the largest fundamental science agency in Europe.
- INRIA is the French National Institute for computer science and applied mathematics that promotes “scientific excellence for technology transfer and society”.
- INSERM is the French National Institute of Health & Medical Research) is the only public sector research institution in France exclusively dedicated to human health.
PSL has also partnered with Ecole Française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO), Ecole nationale d’administration, Ecole nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (EnsAD), and la Fémis, Beaux-Arts de Paris as their three main academic partners.
- EFEO is the only French establishment entirely dedicated to Asian studies. It conducts research in Human sciences and contemporary problematics.
- EnsAD is a public institution of higher education under the authority of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication.
- Beaux-Arts de Paris is a teaching institution and conservator of 450,000 works of art, from the ancient to the contemporary.
MINES Paris, a top engineering school in the country, and Paris Dauphine University, renowned for its teaching in finance and economics, are among the 11 institutions under PSL.
Following PSL’s agreement with the Genius Academy, MINES Paris — PSL and Paris Dauphine University professors will give lectures in an arrangement where registering students will get a degree suitable for mid-career executive professionals.

Popular Cardano-based decentralized exchange WingRiders has lost its position as the most valuable DEX on Cardano.

At the time of writing this line, WingRiders is now the third-largest DEX by total value locked, with a TVL of $19.66 million. It is noteworthy that WingRiders maintained the top spot for more than two months, claiming 42% of TVL On Cardano. However, the DEX has fallen from glory ever since.
Minswap Is Now Cardano’s Most Valuable DEX
The development also affected the total value locked on Cardano. The total value locked on Cardano has fallen below $100 million in the last 30 days after the WingRiders TVL slumped.
Interestingly, Minswap has taken the lead to become the most valuable decentralized exchange on Cardano after the massive decline of WingRiders’ TVL.
At press time, Minswap is leading, with a $49.09 million total value locked on the platform. The DEX hit the milestone after recording a massive growth of 30.9% in its TVL in the past 30 days. Minswap accounts for 51.82% of the total value locked on Cardano.
SundaeSwap, the first decentralized exchange on Cardano, is now the second most valuable DEX in the ecosystem. SundaeSwap is second in the ranking, with $19.72 million in TVL.
Like WingRiders, SundaeSwap has also lost a significant amount of its TVL over the past 30 days. In the past month, SundaeSwap has lost nearly 10% of the funds locked on the platform.
Commenting on the development, Cardano Daily, a platform that shares new developments about Cardano, said:
“After the major decline of @wingriderscom, the TVL scenario of the Cardano ecosystem has stabilized back to normal as we have seen in the past few weeks. @MinswapDEX still led the ecosystem with $51M TVL, contributing 50% of the ecosystem.”
