Spotlight
@TimeswapLabs is now live on Arbitrum and has been building up a storm!
Timeswap is a gigabrain defi protocol that offers a fixed-term money market with no liquidations or oracle dependencies, and describes itself as “Like Uniswap - but for lending and borrowing”. We’ve been helping raise awareness about what they’ve been up to, with their recent V2 release, multi-chain rollout, and more…
Their TVL’s been growing quickly as per DefiLlama, and they also now have markets for $ARB!
Make sure to follow their Twitter account and check out this great thread on them from @0xSalazar (click screenshot of tweet to be taken to thread):
