  • This Week in DeFi – August 7th

    To our DeFi Community,
    Another week is in the books and the creative niches of DeFi are starting to explode.
    What started as liquidity mining for DeFi protocols like Compound and Balancer has now turned into a full-on trend for other tokens to use to their advantage. At its core, the premise of rewarding users for value-added actions makes perfect sense. We’ve seen many projects reward LPs for DEX liquidity and this doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
    At the fringes of De… … More

  • This Week in DeFi – July 24th

    To our DeFi Community,
    Your participation is needed now more than ever. As DeFi continues to act as a black hole for ETH, governance will continue to play an increasingly important role in the expansion and sustainability of open finance. With over $1B in new liquidity fueling Ethereum’s hottest sector in the past 7 days alone, it’s impossible to ignore the rapid innovation taking form right before our eyes. Best exemplified by yEarn and the release of its zero pre-mine, no initial … … More

  • This Week in DeFi – July 17th

    To Our DeFi Community,
    The Initial DEX Offering (IDO) is here. And while it’s not perfect, it’s a substantial improvement from the token distribution models back in 2017 and 2018.
    While the evolution has been slow, DeFi tokens have taken small steps over the past few years to improve incentive designs, distribution methods, and more. The Initial DEX Offering is another step in this evolution as it provides investors with permissionless access to token offerings. The movement was init… … More

  • This Week in DeFi – July 10th

    To Our DeFi Community,
    DeFi is coming to CeFi. It’s too good for them to resist.
    We mentioned this last week but DeFi tokens have been on an absolute tear over the past few months. Now, centralized exchanges are looking to capitalize on the new wave of tokens that are booming in the Ethereum economy. This trend was marked with Coinbase announcing their exploration on a range of new crypto assets back in early June, half of which were DeFi tokens. This week, Binance announced their listing … … More

  • This Week in DeFi – June 26th

    To Our DeFi Community,
    The liquidity wars have begun. With virtually every DeFi protocol now launching or exploring yield farming incentives, we’re beginning to see a fight for liquidity on Ethereum.
    And it’s just beginning. While Compound and Balancer have been prime examples of successful launches for yield farming- where their native governance tokens soared in value alongside hundreds of millions in new liquidity – there are dozens of other protocols jumping into the queue … … More

  • 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

  • This Week in DeFi – June 5th

    To Our DeFi Community,
    Boom. Another week in the books!
    The week kicked-off with Balancer, the DeFi non-custodial liquidity and asset management protocol, launching Liquidity Mining. Users can now earn BAL tokens by becoming a liquidity provider. With these tokens following the SAFG framework, BAL has no economic rights and are non-transferable. They simply represent voting power for future protocol changes. However, it’s important to recognize that upon a successful distribution, nothing … … More
