Safeguarding DeFi Infrastructure Builders

Welcome to our Crypto Long & Short newsletter. This week, we discuss the need to safeguard the people building decentralized finance infrastructure. Jennifer Rosenthal, chief communications officer at the DeFi Education Fund, emphasizes the importance of protecting these individuals. Meanwhile, Alexis Sirkia, chairman and co-founder of Yellow Network, analyzes Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling issues and proposes state channels as a potential solution. The newsletter also covers recent market headlines and trends, including the impact of smart contract exploits on the market. We invite you to join us in supporting policy initiatives that promote clarity, reduce uncertainty, and enable responsible participation in both centralized and decentralized markets. By defending the principles that make DeFi possible, we can work together to create a more secure and innovative financial system.
