Beyond $YFI, $SNX, etc. $ALPHA is new favourite farm. @AlphaFinanceLab Why? 1. Non-anon founders with real pedigree (I am outlier in CT community but reduces risk) @tascha_panpan @nipun_pit 2. >200% APR with manageable risk on well-chosen pairs. But careful on $ALPHA pool.

What's this? It's DeFi TVL blasting past $15 billion thanks to huge growth from large protocols like @synthetix_io and @AaveAave. $20b here we come. defillama.com

Ethereum gas consumption since 2017. The explosion of DeFi now makes the ICO bubble & Cryptokitties look like tiny blips. h/t @ashwinrz

✨ Market Commentary & Paper Trading

Since December, we have been featuring a spotlight of the week. After doubling the initial fund, we sold half for $10,000 and created the ‘Outlier Fund’ looking for small-cap DeFi buys that we think to have a chance of bringing exponential returns. Feel free to follow our buys!

For the Outlier Fund, our pick is KeeperDAO (ROOK) for $500.
