The gigachads at @pendle_fi just keep building!
Pendle is one of the most interesting protocols in defi in our opinion and we’ve been helping highlight some of the cool stuff they’ve been rolling out as of late...
If you are interested in the yield/derivatives space, or in maximizing your yields generally, then make sure to check them out and follow their Twitter account for ongoing alfa!
Also… $PENDLE is now available on Arbitrum(!)…
Check out the team’s important announcement re: this and @CamelotDEX below:

Note
Our official sponsor for the month of February is @NestedFi! Nested is a new Social Trading protocol which allows users to create portfolios (and copy-trade other traders) on all the main EVM chains…
It also allows for easy dca’ing, as well as non-kyc’d fiat-onboarding via integration with Mt Pelerin!
Nested is building out an extremely cool platform that appeals to both sophisticated on-chain degens as well as total crypto newbies and serves both extremely well!
Highly recommend checking them out:
