Spotlight
The abject gigabrains at @pendle_fi just introduced their new V2 release last week, and as big fans of @pendle_fi we’re thrilled to get the chance to amplify awareness about it!
Pendle is one of the most interesting protocols in defi, and representative of the yield/derivative space that we believe is a huge impending ‘defi narrative’.
If you are a yield maxi- or just interested in defi gigabrainery in general- we highly recommend diving into their ‘Learn’ page by clicking here now!
Also here’s the first tweet in an excellent thread they just released about it:
