Spotlight
Much new alfa regarding Maple Finance good degens!
As previously noted, on-chain institutional lending marketplace @maplefinance and their defi-facing instance @syrupfi are one of the strongest and most interesting projects to emerge from the recent bear market…
They’ve recently hit over $700M in TVL, $5.5B in loans originated, and over 300k in monthly recurring revenue, with massive additional catalysts on the horizon!
Their co-founder @syrupsid was just interviewed on the @zima_red podcast by @AndrewSteinwold, and the discussion covered all sorts of fascinating topics relevant to $SYRUP fans, startup builders, those working in the industry, and crypto investors and enthusiasts generally!
Check out the video below and make sure to stay tuned as we bring additional updates on everything Maple is doing!
