2021-05-13 13:45:44 Telegram AMA: NFTX
Friday 14 May, 23:30 UTC

To end the week we welcome Alex Gausman of NFTX into @hillrisegroupchat to talk about bringing liquidity to NFT collectibles via NFTX's funds.

NFTX is a platform bringing fungibility and composability to NFT collectibles through the creation of funds, returning ERC-20 index tokens. These are then freely tradable on a DEX (mainly SushiSwap).

While the NFTX UI is currently built and maintained by the DAO, it will soon be open-sourced just like the platform's permissionless contracts.

NFTX token holders can use tokens for liquidity mining and governance rights. In the future, a fee switch could potentially be activated for direct value accrual to token holders.

Join us to learn more about this pioneering project within the NFT space!

2021-05-06 04:47:47 Announcing Hillrise Group
Published May 6, 2021

Created as an extension of my personal interest in the growing Web3 ecosystem, Hillrise Capital was positioned as a boutique research house. My vision was to take this brand forward as a trusted name into a disruptive emerging industry.

As we have continued to expand, it felt necessary to clarify and not blur the line between our investing and research work.

In doing so, we introduce both Hillrise Ventures and Hillrise Research, two brands nested under our new Hillrise Group.

Hillrise Ventures is the private investment arm of our business, where we support ambitious Web3 startups with early-stage venture capital.

Hillrise Research continues our initial vision, to be a publisher of objective fundamental research.

To being another week we welcome Denis Gorbachev from Shield Finance into @hillrisecapitalchat to talk about aggregating insurance solutions.
