Upcoming Special Issue on Decentralized Stablecoins
I'm looking to cover more decentralized stablecoins in future issues, and I'll be working on a special edition to put out in May on decentralized stablecoins. If you see new stablecoins in each issue, DYOR, but know I'm eager to cover more over time since it's a growing market.

Points programs have been an improvement on old liquidity mining programs. While people have been upset in the past when they receive non-transferable tokens, everyone loves points and secondary points markets where speculation is half the fun/excitement.

Seems like we’ve moved to the next evolution of broad and more targeted incentive programs, like Aave’s Merit, which has been successful in the seasons 1 & 2.

At Nexus Mutual we're all in on growth. The results from Q1 2024 show we're off to a good start!

⬆️ Cover sales up 29% since Q4 2023
⬆️ Cover fees earnings up 162% since Q4 2023
⬆️ Commissions earnings up 254% since Q4 2023

Heading into Q2 with the same focus + drive 🐢

Thanks to Vaults FYI for giving me an easy way to establish the DeFi base rate, provide an overview of lending markets, and highlight other protocols.

If you haven't checked out Vaults FYI yet, you should!

They're my go-to for finding yield on mainnet and L2s ✌️
