@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…
Nested allows for non-KYC fiat-onboarding through their integration with Mt Pelerin, as well as easy automatic dca’ing.
