What happens when two of DeFi's most influential developers join forces to build the industries worse kept secret? Daniele Sestagalli and Andre Cronje are planning to launch a project this month which combines the tokenomics of Curve finance and Olympous DAO. 

The distribution of this token is quite unique. The top 20 projects by TVL on Fantom will be awarded an NFT to do with as they please. The holder of these NFT's will receive continuous distribution of the ve(3,3) token. The idea is that Fantom protocols can then distribute those tokens out to users, incentivising liquidity across the entire Fantom ecosystem.

Enter veDAO a decentralised autonomous organisation with the sole purpose of locking up enough funds to reach the top 20 and receive one of the NFT's. The DAO would then govern the value accrued from their holding. If ve(3,3) can combine Curve Finance and Olympous DAO's tokenomics, perhaps veDAO can go on to become the Convex of the Fantom ecosystem.

A constant challenge for traders is to increase the upside potential of a trade while limiting the downside risk. Enter squeeth, or squared Ethereum which makes holders more money when price goes up and loses less when price goes down. Sound too good to be true? Well there must be a catch, right?

Squared ETH or Squeeth is a perpetual options protocol that provides unlimited upside leverage with no liquidations on long positions.

Squeeth isn't just a tool for traders, it can be used as a hedge for liquidity providers on Uniswap and it can provide a funding rate yield in sideways markets.

How is it possible that my local bank can only offer 0.1% on my savings but in DeFi 20,30 even 100% APR's are on offer? Are defi protocols and the products built on top of them just one giant ponzi scheme or is there real value being created and distributed. In this video I'm going to show you exactly where the yield comes from and why governance tokens play such a big part in the DeFi economy. We'll end with a note of caution about the sustainability of the current yield farming model.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Terra they are all disconnected separate blockchains. Transferring funds between them is a challenging but potentially lucrative business opportunity. I've mentioned before that I am waiting for a market leader in this field to emerge and I think we might be seeing that now.

Anyswap recently rebranded to Multichain and they've attracted $7 billion in TVL. They also have support and funding from some big names like Binance and Three Arrows Capital who valued the company at a $1.1 billion dollar valuation. The ANY token will migrate to the MULTI token with revamped tokenomics and a veMULTI model. Could this be the catalyst Multichain needs to become the market leader in cross chain transfers.

The stakes are high as control of DeFi's biggest protocol is on the line. Stablecoins are battling for liquidity with million dollar bribes being paid for votes, enemies becoming alliances and the potential of Curve v2 to change how we trade cryptocurrency forever. The story starts at Curve but dives into how all the pieces fit together as new entrants come into the market. At the end I'll explain why the native CRV token might not be optimal for an investment portfolio and how I allocated capital to gain exposure to the Curve Wars.

Bedford is a quaint, normally quiet town in Bedfordshire, England. This summer recently purchased Bedford Football Club will rebrand as Real Bedford FC in what will be the fruition of a childhood dream for new chairman Peter McCormack. You might recognise Peter as host of popular podcast "What Bitcoin Did". With lucrative sponsorship deals already in place this could just be the start of a new story for Bitcoin, Bedford and football fans around the globe.

There are incredible opportunities in yield farming but harvesting and  staking rewards on a daily basis across a diversified range of defi positions can start to feel like a full time job. In this tutorial I'll show you how I find smart contract functions and then build simple scripts to automate the process of yield farming.

In 2021 15 different blockchains exceeded one billion us dollars in  total value locked. The early adopters who got into these ecosystems first made exceptional returns. Aurora is built on Near Protocols layer zero and looks set to become another billion dollar defi ecosystem. This video explains the tech, the $800 million incentive program and I'll demonstrate how and why I'm deploying capital to Trisolaris, Aurora's leading decentralised exchange.
