We are currently reviewing a BSC strategy and are actively researching and working on strategies using polygon! 🔥
We are actively working on the Yearn affiliate token & our compensation plan, more details TBA this month 🙂
Governance 🗳
The community proposal AIP-011 regarding AKRO tokenomics is still on the governance discussion board! 🆕
Please give it a read and offer your comments!
Things still in the works:
[in progress] We continue researching indices for integration into the dashboard. If you have any suggestions, please drop them in our discord or telegram channels!
[in progress] We continue to work on new vault strategies in house and hope to bring in new strategy makers. 🤑
We are working with existing Yearn community members in the YFI Boarding school! 🎓
