        • Mission DeFi EP 59 - Swell Network is creating a powerful marketplace for liquid staking & easily integrated vaults for easier derivative earning @SwellNetworkio

          Swell Network is launching what they call Liquid Staking V2.0. Not only will they offer easy to use staking for users and nodes, but they will also offer the platform in a composable and white label format. This will allow them to create a marketplace for liquid staking with nodes competing on earnings to optimize what stakers will earn. 

          In addition, they make it easier for stakers to earn more, by building in vaults to earn more on their yields, without having to move their derivative tokens off the platform in order to increase what they earn.

        • Mission DeFi EP 58 - Earn more while you help decentralize & secure the chain. @joshneuroth of @ANKR $ANKR

          The infrastructure of Ethereum and other chains is still not decentralized and this is a serious threat to the future of #DeFi. Josh Neuroth of Ankr explains how they are decentralizing the infrastructure of blockchains with decentralized RPC nodes and liquid staking on multiple chains and now they are combining both so you RPC nodes can also be staking nodes. 

          You can now earn on their protocol for helping to secure your favorite chain.
