Spotlight
Our official sponsor for the month of December is @NestedFi- a new Social Trading protocol- which lets users create portfolios (and copy-trade other portfolios) on all the main EVM chains.
@NestedFi will be doing an airdrop for early users, so consider trying it out and creating a portfolio yourself and copying some other portfolios you like!
You can also use it for easy dca’ing as well as non-kyc fiat onboarding via their integration with Mt Pelerin!
As an example, our friend @alpha_pls made a gigabrain play on $MAGIC with his Arbitrum portfolio this month:
