2021-06-08 15:04:44 Gearing Up for Arbitrum
Published June 8, 2021

The promise of scalability has inspired many a project over the years. However, these big aspirations have faced delays and complications, leading some to believe Ethereum will never scale. The recent success of Polygon has proved otherwise—now with the imminent launch of Arbitrum's Optimistic-rollups, the future is now.

Exploring Arbitrum will be a very different experience: we'll be engaging with more established protocols like Aave, Sushiswap and Uniswap; less of cloned projects and food farms. BSC has already proven strong appetite for retail participation in DeFi—we're excited to see if the same interest can be cultivated in a secure and credibly neutral L2 environment.

In this post, we'll explore the bigger picture behind Arbitrum and the potential opportunities.

2021-05-25 14:45:47 What's Next for Lending Protocols?
Published May 25, 2021

Lending platforms like Aave, Compound and MakerDAO are market leaders within DeFi and serve as the industry's core infrastructure. Their influence stretches far beyond the bounds of Ethereum with cross-chain deployments, forks and innovations on their key features.

If you've been around for some time, there's a good chance you've used them or another platform influenced by them.

We're most excited by new lending platforms innovating on the key features of these incumbents, bringing about new primitives and 0-to-1 innovations.

In this post we discuss the growing lending environment within DeFi, several of the staple protocols, and new emerging players.

2021-05-18 14:35:21 Spotlight Series: Shield Finance
Published May 18, 2021

Insurance in the blockchain industry is still an undoubtedly nascent DeFi vertical which is reflected in the relatively low number of live projects and Total Value Locked.

Low levels of adoption are likely due to a mix of poor user experience, greed, the complexity of providing cover, and limited versatility of protocols.

Shield Finance aims to solve some of the issues introduced above through its ‘Multi-chain Insurance Aggregator’.

In this post we introduce Shield Finance, their product and solution.

2021-05-17 06:24:08 Ecosystem Cycles from Binance Smart Chain to Solana
Published May 17, 2021

Solana burst onto the scene in 2021 capturing mindshare along with a massive price rally. This occurred after two strong rallies within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem.

The upcoming Solana hackathon has racked up over 7,000 projects vying for a spot. Given the high quality projects that emerged out of the previous DeFi hackathon, its not hard to be bullish.

In this post, we'll discuss a potential Solana growth cycle by analyzing BSC's growth.
