Safeguarding DeFi Infrastructure Builders

Welcome to our institutional newsletter. This week, we explore the need to safeguard the people behind DeFi infrastructure. Jennifer Rosenthal, chief communications officer at the DeFi Education Fund, emphasizes the importance of protecting software developers and the technology that enables DeFi. Meanwhile, Alexis Sirkia, chairman and co-founder of Yellow Network, argues that Ethereum's scaling problem stems from a flawed assumption about the role of intermediaries in value transfer. We also highlight key headlines and trends in the DeFi space, including the impact of smart contract exploits on the market.
