  • This Week in DeFi – June 26th

  • This Week in DeFi – June 19th

    To Our DeFi Community,
    Compound’s launch of the COMP token earlier this week may have very well sparked a new trend in DeFi – liquidity mining (also known as yield farming). In case you somehow missed it, the leading lending protocol has begun distributing COMP tokens to each of the protocol’s money markets pro-rata by the total interest accrued. While many were anticipating the launch, few expected the results.
    After initially listing on Uniswap for $16, COMP tokens have soare… … More

  • Opium Exchange Launches Pre-market Options for Governance Tokens

    In the past few months, we’ve seen a new wave of token models emerge surrounding DeFi governance.
    In case you’re unfamiliar, the Simple Agreement for Future Governance (SAFG) is a simple, yet elegant token model that allows protocol teams in virtually any jurisdiction to distribute tokens to their users. These tokens are generally non-transferable and have no economic rights, solely representing voting power in future protocol changes.
