Spotlight
The gigachads at @pendle_fi are staying busy.!
They recently launched on Arbitrum after having been mainnet-only until then, and have- as always- been creating all sorts of juicy derivatives and yield opportunities for their users.
They are doing their next community call on February 28th, where you can learn all about what they have been up to (and where they may be dropping some special alfa!). We are helping to spread the word about what they are building, so make sure to check them out and follow their Twitter account for ongoing updates!

@NestedFi is our official sponsor for the month of February! They are a new Social Trading protocol which lets users create portfolios and copy-trade other portfolios on ETH Mainnet, Arbitrum, Polygon, Avalanche, Optimism, and BSC…
