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 portfolios) on all the main EVM chains.
You can also use it for easy dca’ing as well as non-kyc fiat onboarding via their integration with Mt Pelerin!
