or take advantage of the dip 🤷 nfa but cool thing about perps is you can hedge short-term with high leverage but maintain long-term low-leverage bull position

Saylor sold 32 $BTC and the price slipped by 10%.📉

Ether followed, now hovering around $1900, with fears of more volatility looming.

Do you have positions open in @aave, @sparkdotfi, @Morpho, @0xfluid or @LiquityProtocol?

Here are four ways to protect them from loss.🧵

Euphoria in Budapest after the opposition’s victory. Tens of thousands of people poured into the streets. Incredible scenes in the metro.

@apoorveth Is there a standard for PK management or agent permissions? Do people just give their agent free reign over the main account?

[Nikola Vuković @sterluu]

The DFS toolkit is more comprehensive and powerful than ever before, and it's ready for Aave V4 on Day 0.

[DeFi Saver @DeFiSaver]

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! 👻

[Nikola Vuković @sterluu]

Starting the year off strong with a huge step towards DeFi Saver becoming the main stop for all of DeFi. 💪🏻 Big challenge and an amazing team effort across the whole org!

Summer users, welcome. You're in good hands.

Bullish on Aave x DFS

[Stani @StaniKulechov]

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.

[Nikola Vuković @sterluu]

While I believe there's no better way to run an early startup than meritocracy, turns out it's not the best way to scale it.

There's something to be said about how a team got to great results. By analyzing the behavior that led to outcomes, modeling it for others and rewarding the behavior in addition to the outcome, you build a framework that sets your team up for long-term success and repeatable results. It's important to be intentional with this and not just give out participation trophies.

Amazon defines this as focusing on controllable inputs (behavior and process) instead of blindly rewarding the output. Nadella similarly instilled a similar mindset change in Microsoft.

Think about what makes top people in your team a great fit, and double-down on it. Don't expect it to happen naturally.

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.

Sometimes you just see some nice & clicky buttons, and life is good

@LefterisJP Oof they didn't let you know ahead of time? A friend got the notice 10h before the flight. Classically irresponsible.
