These are advanced trading techniques and use cases. If you were able to comprehend all that and figure a way to use it you should be proud of yourself. I would say less than 10% of all traders even know about techniques like that - and only about 2% use them!!
I had six questions on my notepad prior to this video and all six were answered. Freaking amazing! The thorough explanation of anything presented on TH-cam! For real for real because I was confused AF 🤣

Sometimes when I watch your videos I still don't understand quite everything due to the sheer amount of detail of your content and me being pretty new to defi. However, for many of your videos with time in the crypto market I can come back to them and they make complete sense. Thank you for the educational content, it's very good.
Please never stop making videos. You and the team are absolutely amazing. Thank you for making the educational journey of DeFi so enjoyable. Once we moon, I’ve got you on some cool project tokens. Promise.
I think I am speaking for the large majority when I say this - you are an incredible help to Beginners / Intermediates wanting to learn more in the crypto space and we are hugely grateful and thankful! Subscribed and have notifications on, keep it up!
Great video man ! Really enjoyed it and felt like I fully understood flashloans for the 1st time despite reading in so many places. I think your channel will 100% grow man , keep hustling !
Great video... Unfortunately, my experience (messing around with aave at least), gas fees the way they are right now it seems pretty difficult to actually utilize flash loans profitably with one of these legitimate ways...
I am learning so much with your videos and of course I am subscribing your channel. Some are still difficult to understand 100 % but your contents are super well explained and not so biased which I like so much. it is truly helpful. Keep it up! and thank you!!!
I don't understand what the point of collateral swap is. You simply swap one crypto for another to borrow DAI while you could borrow it without swapping. UPD It actually appears that you pay a commission and lose your ETH.
Last one month I trying to get borrow(loan)by Huobi&Definitely through digital assets exchange through. And I became tired coz of unknown systems. Now I want to listen it again&again to get a loan by FLASH(DEFI)
Kind of a dumb question but if it requires repayment within the same ETH transaction, how much time do you have to do the repayment, must it be within seconds?
@@atbrightone5724 you don’t the program do. You manually couldn’t do it. Imagine it like the money you borrow never stops at one place. It just runs a circle. Lender->you->exchange1->exchange2->you->lender. The lender is the start and the finish. Everything in between is just a checkpoint and(if the flash loan is successful) the money picks up a bag(which is your profit) at exchange2 and drops it at you before it arrives to the finish line(lender)
Amazing clear and detailed video + drawings/animations! 💯 PS: Are you drawing all this yourself too?😯 On some kind of digital canvas, connected to your pc?
I'm not sure the maths is right on the arb example. The Aave fee is 0.09%, no? Making the fee on a $100,000 loan $90? This makes the profit $920. Am I crazy?
Yes, you are correct. I usually double check all the maths, but this one was too simple right? :( I made a correction in the subtitles. Thanks for spotting.
For the use case on collateral swap - whats the point of doing this 6 step process to swap my ETH to BAT ? If the objective is to just get ETH to BAT, can't I just literally do step 5 (using my ETH and swapping it for BAT at any AMM ? ) to achieve that ? Why do we need all 6 steps ?
As mentioned in the video this feature is predominantly used by software developers, so it can be programmed that way. Furucombo also can create a transaction with multiple steps for non-developers
i have a question, could Crypto Flash Loans be used for a pump and dump scheme? for an example ; i get a Crypto Flash Loan for 1.000.000 uniswap from AAVE and take it and sell of it would that cause the price of Uniswap to drop ???

i saw your trademark presentation style in one vid of Bankless. are you one and the same, or just a collaboration? nice informative vids i am not wrong to subscribe. Thank you for spreading the financial education to clueless and newbies in crypto like me.
I have a question around this... suppose you take out a flash loan and then use the token to purchase something (let's say some random product that allows for purchase with a token) and then you refuse to pay back the loan. Since you now obtain this new product, how can this transaction be rolled back? Does the transaction when purchasing the product not get verified until you repay the loan?
But i have seen in other videos that you have to access a site/platform where you ask for the loan, and the interface does all the work you inky have to allow transaction. Where do you browse to?
Excellent analysis, thanks! 👌 I wanted to ask something unrelated: 🤔 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏
Cool videos mate, not just the content but also the animations you use. However, there's one thing in this one I dont quite understand - how can one ethereum transaction consist of multiple steps? Do I have to be able to code for that? How do I not know this
Good question. Yes, I you are a big miner (or if you know one) you could include a transaction in a block that was never in the mempool, basically avoiding the mempool snipping bots

Thank you so much for this amazing video! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
@9:30 Why would your ETH be "restored" by repaying a failing DAI loan with another flash loan? Wouldn't ETH collateral that is falling in value remain the same value regardless?
So does this mean that the smart contract has to detect that the arbitrage opportunity exists in order to lend the funds in first place?.. Because this seems to be a riskless loan and that is impossible. There must be a counterparty risk involved, otherwise the interest received by the lender also makes no sense, why would you get a reward for something that represents no counterparty risk?.. I am a person from traditional finance and this makes no sense to me lol

Please read my suggetion comment below
Excellent video! 👏👏
But, *there is an ERROR* 📛: the 0.09% of $100,000 is $90 (not $900), then the loan repay is $100,090 and the profit is *$920* 🤑

This channel is going to explode with this bullrun. One of the best crypto channels on YT. Keep it up, man. Love your work.
Thanks! Appreciate that :)
Are you kidding? No one is doing research 😂
Notice that all Cryptos crashed over the 8 months this was posted.
8:30
1. "Take a Flashloan in DAI to cover the amount of DAI that was borrowed"
2. "Repay your Compound loan with borrowed DAI"
3. "Withdraw your ETH"
4. "Swap your ETH for BAT on Uniswap"
5. "Supply BAT as collateral on Compound. Borrow DAI against your BAT collateral"
6. "Repay Flashloan with borrowed DAI plus fees"
"Congrats, you just swapped your collateral from ETH to BAT and paid 0.09% of the borrowed amount for this"
So it’s completely pointless
Thanks for keeping me updated with all this new stuff.
You're welcome!
You deserve all the praise man, your channel will moon soon. Congrats & Thank you.

Great video... Unfortunately, my experience (messing around with aave at least), gas fees the way they are right now it seems pretty difficult to actually utilize flash loans profitably with one of these legitimate ways...
Try MULTIPLIER (a fork of Aave) on Binance Smart Chain. Gas fees are ONLY 5 Gwei

DAMMIT THAT WAS AMAZING!!! I HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS PRIOR TO THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU MUCH LOVE FROM NEW ORLEANS ❤️💪
Thank you!! :)
This is extremely clear. I now understand. Thank you very much.
Amazing content. Impressive to see how banking today looks like the dinosaur age compared to DeFi...
Love your vids mate. I would really like to know your opinion on deflationary farming. Keep teaching us about DeFi
So clear, concise, and great examples!
Great video. But for this concept to really take off, there has to be way more streamlining involved.
Excellent explanation. I hope this channel continues to grow!
Thanks! I hope so too :)
You've got a new subscriber since I could never understand how they work p
Great video once again ! Make one on ethereum rollups please (optimistic, zk rollup etc.)
Thanks, great suggestion. I have this topic on my list of things to cover :)
Fascinating. So many things clicked and thoroughly explained. Thank you!
It was not a hack, no user was compromised neither platforms. User used protocols correctly.
Top notch video as usual!!! Thx
I don't understand what the point of collateral swap is. You simply swap one crypto for another to borrow DAI while you could borrow it without swapping. UPD It actually appears that you pay a commission and lose your ETH.
Maybe you didn't anticipate a value drop in your initial collateral used?

Can you do a video on the best wallets for storing cryptocurrency?
This is great as so many of your videos are! Wondering if you could do one that delves into arbitrage? Thank you for all of your work so far!
Thanks! Yes, I will be delving deeper into multiple topics including arbitrage :)
Great video mate! As a viewer I would like to request a video about Mempool bots and front runners. What do you think?
Thanks! Yes, this is definitely one of the topics to cover in the future :)
@@Finematics Also If you can include how to include the transaction without the mempool if you are a miner. That would be great ! Thanks mate
Amazing explanation, thank you

Because the coins are used as collateral and are locked in the protocol. They cannot be just swapped.
Thanks. But didnt we already withdraw that collateral from compound in step 3?
Can you make a video about Margin Trading?
Hi @Finematics, your "How to code a Flash Loan with AAVE" link takes you to an empty post on the blog. Is there a new one?
Very informative!!!
Glad it was helpful!
best FLASH LOANS project on uniswap is $IYF
Great and interesting video.
thanks!
Please make a video teaching how to borrow
Excellent video
Nice vid, again! Q - How long can one use the flash loan for before they have to repay?
Thanks, you only have 1 transaction time which is the same as 1 block time which is around 10-17 seconds on average
@@Finematics Huh? How can one operate that many steps in 10-17 sec's time??
As mentioned in the video this feature is predominantly used by software developers, so it can be programmed that way. Furucombo also can create a transaction with multiple steps for non-developers
@@Finematics Thank you!
I do not think so, you need an initial balance, and to skip gas fees choose polygon not Ether
In the second usecase, whats the advantage of doing that over just swapping the ETH for BAT on uniswap before getting ?

Thanks, it's not possible to download the drawing boards, it's a project within the Videoscribe app
One query is flash loan still supported by aave for arbitrage using a bot
8:25 Why do we neet a flash lone here? coudln't we just repay the debt by our borrowt DAI instead of taking a flash loan, to avoid the first 3 steps?
How I can make sure profits will be more than gas Fees of borrow flash loan

Hey anyone heard of YFBTC & YFETH, they have the same reward system as Bitcoin and Ethereum
huh? btc and eth are not the same. You mean proof of work mining with hardware?
I click the first link it open in the crypto.com but it's nothing there you said i can loan defi coin without colateral?
@9:30 Why would your ETH be "restored" by repaying a failing DAI loan with another flash loan? Wouldn't ETH collateral that is falling in value remain the same value regardless?

Do you know any site for flash loan's? I'm only seeing scam ones . Thanks
