Inbox DumpHello Defiers! Welcome to Inbox Dump where we include the updates and announcements that flood our DMs each week and didnât make it to The Defiantâs content platforms. Sometimes announcements here didnât meet the bar to become a news story, sometimes they may have slipped through the cracks, or they came late and we havenât had a chance to cover.
At The Defiant we cover the most important DeFi-related news and developments but we know many of you are hunting for projects before they are fully developed and before they are newsworthy. Our goal with this installment of the newsletter is to help you find them. Look at this as the starting point to DYOR.
We also include a compilation of DeFi and crypto funding rounds in the past week so you have these in one handy place.
Keep in mind these have been unedited. With that âhere we go!
