DeFi Slate Fam,

There’s many sides to building a successful protocol in this new community-driven, results-based, revenue-generating DeFi world.

Too often investors, speculators, and users drink the Kool-Aid and focus on ‘changing the world’ rather than ‘building a good product and massive community’.

But ultimately thats what were after here:

Long term sustainability through a killer product.

And that’s exactly what the team over at Akropolis has been putting together for years now.

In this episode, Rob & I had the pleasure of speaking with Yana - the lead community manager & all-around utility team member of Akropolis!

Lets gooooooo!

🎙DeFi by Design EP. #9: Community, Governance, & Sustainability with Yana

Akropolis has been working mighty hard ahead of their recent Delphi mainnet launch. The team has built a platform with quite a few use cases, giving the honest farmer plenty of room to work with. Here’s the quick ‘n dirty on what Akropolis can do:

Delphi Explained

Delphi is effectively a yield farming tool, meant to bring all the services of other platforms to one place. Another term for this is an aggregator. With very little technical experience needed, users can operate and control high APY % savings accounts, dollar cost averaging (D-C-A’ing), and yield generating farms.

As with any protocol, this comes with risk, but the good news is Delphi just got an audit with Certik. Certik is definitely the leading auditor in the #DeFi space along with Quanstamp!

Akropolis took the calm and collected route to getting off the ground, another sign at their ability to think longer term and build sustainable products. Enjoy this episode, degens! 👨🏽‍🌾😤
