DEFI RESOURCES
🎥 Lights…Camera…DeFi 🎥
We all learn in different ways. Some like to read crypto blogs or dig deep into developer documentation. Others prefer scrolling crypto Twitter or binging video tutorials. Led by the efforts of core contributor Chavis, Index Coop has produced a robust library of video content on YouTube. On our channel, you’ll find a variety of thematic index explainers and fun breakdowns of how our yield-generating strategies work. We’re not the only ones producing helpful DeFi videos. I’ve learned a ton from: Bankless, The Defiant, Finematics, and Ceazor’s Snack Sandwich. Subscribe to Index Coop’s YouTube channel & reply to this email to let us know your favorite video creatooors!
PRODUCT NEWS
🟣 SNX - Going Atomic within DPI 🟣
The Synthetix (SNX) protocol is one of the most established decentralized exchanges and is a key player in the DeFi ecosystem. Their token SNX is held within the DeFi Pulse Index (DPI). Synthetix has recently seen a rapid increase in fees generated and trade volume since the implementation of ‘atomic swaps’. Instead of the previous ten-minute waiting period when trading between assets on Synthetix, the new atomic swap functionality allows for large trades to be settled instantly and with little to no slippage. DPI provides diversified exposure to SNX and 13 additional, innovative DeFi protocols with a single token. You can buy DPI on Gemini here.
DAO NEWS
💰 Building for DAOs: Treasury Management 💰
Volatile markets are a stark reminder of the importance of how a strong treasury and transparent decision-making processes help secure a DAO’s sustainability. Index Coop partners with DAOs and protocols to diversify their treasuries and build positive-sum relationships. With a range of yield-bearing products like icETH, crypto organizations can be a more stable financial foundation to fund ongoing operations and grow their treasuries. Index Coop contributor, Funkmaster Flex, recently discussed DAO operations, treasury management, and more with Autonolas.
