Defending DeFi Infrastructure and the Future of Ethereum Scaling

Welcome to our institutional newsletter. This week, we explore the need to safeguard DeFi infrastructure and the individuals building it. Jennifer Rosenthal, chief communications officer at the DeFi Education Fund, highlights the importance of protecting software developers and the technology that underpins DeFi. Meanwhile, Alexis Sirkia, chairman and co-founder of Yellow Network, argues that Ethereum's scaling issues stem from a flawed assumption about the nature of the problem, and that state channels offer a more promising solution. We also examine the recent exploits in the DeFi lending space and the impact on the market.
