Spotlight
Our official sponsor for the month of January is @NestedFi- a new Social Trading protocol- which lets users create portfolios (and copy-trade other traders) on all the main EVM chains!
@NestedFi also allows for easy dca’ing, as well as non-kyc’d fiat-onboarding through their integration with Mt Pelerin.
Nested has some substantial innovations in store for 2023 so highly recommend checking it out!
