Whenever you do. It's a self-paced digital course - pay once, get instant email access to the library, and start module one today. There's no cohort and no schedule to wait for.

How long does it take?

Most people finish in four to six weeks at one module per week - roughly 3–5 hours per week including the exercises and your capstone audit. There's no deadline; the library doesn't expire.

Is it live or self-paced?

Self-paced. There are no live sessions, no cohort, and no scheduling - you get the full written course, exercises with MCP prompts, and the capstone audit workbook, and work through them on your own time.

Do I need to be technical?

No. The course is methodology-led, not implementation-led. You should be comfortable using DeFi products as a user, but you don't need to ship code.

One-time purchase - see the pricing page for the current USD price. DeFi UX MCP Pro ($29/mo value) is included, with the Pro API key in your purchase email. 14-day refund if you have not used the library.

What it is

A self-paced course on UX for trading and financial products - six modules plus a capstone audit workbook, built on the same rubric behind Ray Group's EthCC, ETH Prague, and ETH Milan talks. DeFi UX MCP Pro ($29/mo value) is included.

How it works

Pay once, get instant email access to the course library. Work through the six modules at your own pace - most people do one module a week - using the included MCP prompts for each exercise, then run the rubric on a protocol of your choice with the capstone audit workbook.

Why it's worth it

You finish with a deliverable, not a certificate: a complete written audit of a real protocol, produced with the same rubric Ray Group uses in paid audits - plus the MCP Pro corpus (52 patterns, 31 glossary entries, 14 case studies) to keep applying it.
