@radkoGovernance+3•16Can't wait for $BUIDL to actively trade on Uniswap $UNI
@panteoGovernance+3•13The noise around $USDe obscures its actual engineering. $ENA is tackling a core DeFi problem: generating sustainable, scalable, censorship-resistant yield on a synthetic dollar. They hedge derivatives to manage delta, a complex but potentially robust model.
