## Name of Project* 

WOMEN DEFI-YING THE DEFI SPACE


## Project Description*

As the Alpha class of MGD, we wanted to participate in this hackathon to support MetaCartel,as well as work on this as our first official "class project"! We found ourselves asking, how much do we know about DeFi and is it possible to encourage more women to take hold of their financial future and put their assets in DeFi?

As a DAO, we assumed that when comparing users identifying as male compared to users identifying as female participating in DeFi dapps, there would be significantly less women. According to the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance, there is a significant gender gap when it comes to Bitcoin financial literacy. Women tend to have a weaker knowledge regarding Bitcoin characteristics compared to men and have less of an actual understanding of financial literacy when it comes to cryptocurrency opportunities. While this is specific to Bitcoin, we believe these stats can most likely be applied to Ethereum and other blockchains as well, implying that there is a need for female focused DeFi dapp usage campaigns.

We are lucky to have members directly involved in the DeFi space so we thought...why don't we break it down using our experience and highlight a women led project In the space. This submission acts as both a research guide and as inspo for women interested in learning aboutDeFi and/or buidling a DeFi dapp.
