This is not financial advice. Nothing said on the show should be considered financial advice. This is just the opinions of Brad Nickel, Joe Cawley, and our guests. None of us are financial advisors. Trading, participating, yield farming, liquidity pools, and all of DeFi and crypto is high risk and dangerous. If you decide to participate, do your own research. Never count on the research of others. We don't know what we are talking about and you can lose all your money. Never invest more than you can afford to lose, because you probably will lose it all.

Mission DeFi EP 74 - Delta Neutral Strategies Paying Nice Conservative Yields by Robo-Vault - Interview with founder - Sam Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

In a bear market, we all want decent safer yield with conservative strategies for our funds sitting on the sidelines and project treasuries need that all the time which puts the Delta-Neutral automated strategies of Robo-Vault in a great position. My interview with Sam one of the founders of Robo-Vault not only gets into what their protocol does, but also pretty deeply into how they built and run their platform and what it is like moving from the world of embedded computing to DeFi.
