I am a smart contract auditor with strong interest in math and ZK, so I tend to skip the parts that aren't important to my daily work. The following lectures are the most useful in my opinion:

    • This is Dan Boneh's lecture. It covers some cryptography and ZK.

    • Uniswap related stuff.

    • Collateral, liquidation, flash loan, etc.

    • This is another Dan Boneh's lecture. It covers more cryptography and ZK.

    • This is samczsun's lecture. I will do a detailed writeup.

    • This lecture covers a wide range of topics. I recommend you study this lecture before Sam's.
