Support for Aave V4 is now live at DeFi Saver. Having supported Aave since V1 in 2020, and having integrated both V2 and V3 on launch days, we're thrilled to go live with the next major version of DeFi's most popular lending protocol. Congratulations on the launch @Aave! 👻

Today we are partnering with @summerfinance_ to support Summer․fi Pro users while the team focuses their full attention on the Lazy Summer protocol. Summer․fi is an OG team and project in the space and we’re proud they chose us to support Summer․fi Pro users onwards while the team focuses on creating great yield opportunities with Lazy Vaults.

We have landed in Buenos Aires! We'll be at the first ever @EFDevcon Ethereum World Fair and for the next three days you can find us at the DeFi Saver booth in the DeFi disctrict.🫡 And yes - there will be limited edition DFS Buenos Aires merch.🇦🇷

Dedicated my Friday to flying to Belgrade to meet the @DeFiSaver team, some of the best builders in DeFi and a team we’ve been working with since 2020. We brainstormed Aave V4, and I have to say, a lot will be cooking in the coming months. Bullish on Belgrade’s dev community.

My career in crypto: > Start a YouTube channel about DeFi on the side in 2021 > Channel hits 5K on Christmas Day, 2021. 10K on Feb 1, 2022. > Bear market hits. Keep grinding. > Leave my job for a role in the industry. > Terra collapses the next day. Job falls through. > Apply for tons of industry jobs. Universally rejected. > Start posting on twitter 7X daily. Focus on sharing analysis of onchain metrics. > Grow to tens of thousands of followers. > Learn to make better videos. Grind out evergreen crypto content. > Start a DeFi newsletter. > Contribute to a few projects. Build a few websites and bots. > Find a niche sharing DeFi metrics. > Crypto comes back. Channel and newsletter grow to 50K and 20K subs. > @0xngmi reaches out last December. Asks if I’d join DefiLlama part-time to run marketing. > Institutions start asking about DeFi data. Someone needs to take the calls. Start doing BD too. > Join DefiLlama full-time this summer to run sales and marketing. > DefiLlama launches a paid version. > Find beta testers for the product to help promote it. > Compile all their feedback. Test product heavily to find ways to grow usage. Turn into de facto product manager. > Get asked to manage the revenue dev team too. > Today: running my own media business on the side, building DefiLlama’s sales org and Pro product suite full-time, still looking for ways to keep moving forward. Why am I sharing this? In 2025, most organizations aren’t run on meritocracy. Other factors like internal politics or HR bs take precedent. At @DefiLlama, everyone drives results and has the opportunity to grow accordingly. At a lean, bootstrapped startup you can’t afford to not run on meritocracy. Speed matters and results matter. If that sounds appealing and you care about creating a more fair, more transparent financial system, consider joining my team.


just deployed something cool to show off tomorrow at @EthCC: 🪄try pressing CTRL/CMD + K next time you use @defisaver🪄 (yes, it's a quick access command bar and we'll be looking to make it more useful in the coming weeks - consider it beta rn!)
