  • Mission DeFi EP 74 - Delta Neutral Strategies Paying Nice Conservative Yields by Robo-Vault - Interview with founder - Sam

    In a bear market, we all want decent safer yield with conservative strategies for our funds sitting on the sidelines and project treasuries need that all the time which puts the Delta-Neutral automated strategies of Robo-Vault in a great position. My interview with Sam one of the founders of Robo-Vault not only gets into what their protocol does, but also pretty deeply into how they built and run their platform and what it is like moving from the world of embedded computing to DeFi.
