Key claims
Campaign produced 11 articles and one in-depth report on the CLOB vertical
Times of macro-economic uncertainty (US-China trade war) are often tough times for our portfolios.
What you should do in such times is:
- Focus on spot bags
- Preserve capital
- Do your research
While I cant help you with the first two points, I can with the third one.
One of the (if not the) biggest narratives of the cycle, literally ushering in a new era for the entire DeFi space, is onchain CLOBs and Perp DEXes turning into the financial supercenters of the digital age.
In the @a1research__ campaign that concluded last week, we published 11 articles and one in-depth report focused on the CLOB vertical that will get you up to speed in no time (and entirely for free).
Follow the thread for good reads that will help you prepare for the next big growth wave while the impatient are getting liquidated on the same DEXes you're studying.
