Spotlight
Our official sponsor for the month of December is @NestedFi!
@NestedFi is a new Social Trading protocol, which lets users create portfolios (and copy-trade other portfolios) on all the main EVM chains.
You can also use it for non-KYC fiat-onboarding through their integration with Mt Pelerin.
Here’s an example portfolio from @korpi87:

Chains are mixed today. Some notables include Arbitrum (#5) at +10.69% on the weekly, Fantom up to spot #8 at +8.09% on the weekly, and Kava (#12) at +11.03% on the weekly.
Protocols are mostly red today. Some notables include Sushi (#18) at +22.42% on the weekly, Alpaca Finance (#21) at +63.38% on the weekly, Mento (#46) at +99.82% on the weekly, and Ankr (#81) at -57.82% on the weekly.

Here’s The Top 12 Protocols By TVL (from @DefiLlama):
Other Data Points
Bitcoin Fear Index
(note: the wonderful @BitcoinFear and @EthereumFear have not been updating on Twitter for some reason, so using @ChartingBot instead)
Crypto Volatility Index
(note: this is a cool new data measurement we are going to start including, make sure to follow them at @CVIdaily, and their main account at @official_CVI!)
New Protocols
(note: this includes new protocols we find through combing Twitter each day, and we also include every (newly launched) protocol added by @defillama and @debank (excluding Tomb forks/reflection tokens/etc) - hence disclaimer: these are not pre-vetted by us so make sure to DYOR!)
-Brand new Chainlink liquid-staking protocol called @stakedotlink. Twitter bio states “stake.link is a liquid staking protocol built on top of Chainlink Economics 2.0. Our mission is to increase network security and participation.”
-New protocol on FTM apparently launching next week called @DepegFinance. Twitter bio states “The First DeFi Protocol on Fantom Network that allows you to purchase and underwrite insurance against stablecoins de-pegging!”. h/t @CompleteDegen who we saw this one as a result of:
-New Arbitrum protocol called @VortexFinance. Twitter bio states “A decentralised, non-custodial liquidity market protocol coming to #Arbitrum in 2023. #RealYield”. h/t @CompleteDegen on this one too(!) - make sure to give him a follow!
-New Arbitrum protocol called @orbitaldex. Twitter bio states “A native community owned DEX for @arbitrum - made with ❤️ by @PlutusDAO_io & @dopex_io”. h/t @schizoxbt:
-Something called @HallsofOlympia that is followed by a bunch of our mutuals is launching on Arbitrum (appears to be a new protocol in that doesn’t look like they previously-launched on other chains from reading their Twitter, but could be wrong about this). Twitter bio states “An immersive blockchain sporting arena…”
-Previously-mentioned @SwapFishFi has been added to @DeBankDefi (Arbitrum). Again, Twitter bio states “Decentralized exchange built on #Arbitrum under the 🌊 🎣 Fish market is open …”
Top Stablecoin Yields
(note: these are the top Stablecoin Yields, sourced from @DefiLlama (minimum $1M+ TVL, no-IL, and single-exposure only) and @stable_fish - note: these lists are just raw data, make sure to always DYOR before interacting with any/all protocols)
