(4/5) Will free lunch last?

We believe the definition of liquidity mining follows two simple criteria below:

A project has its native token, and
Rewards its users with the newly minted native tokens to incentivize them to use its products.

The jump of about $1 billion in deposits within one month symbolizes a beginning of a heavily innovative era in DeFi and the whole blockchain ecosystem. The dramatic growth in the value built on blockchain in the time of global crisis will persuade even the skeptical to reconsider realizing blockchain-driven innovation as part of the new normal.

(5/5) Can we trust DeFi protocols if we don’t know the team behind it?

According to defiprime’s survey, 30.7% said no, but isn’t the founder her/himself for the first public blockchain anonymous? We think that in the future more and more crypto team will choose anonymity, due to reserving privacy and hedging the risk of regulatory probe; Avoiding personification of the community driven projects; Many DeFi projects don’t require significant financing up-front which helps them avoid private equity offerings and ICO that require thorough analysis of the team background.
