Together with Saga

Multichain DeFi has arrived

Imagine earning yield on any bluechip asset you have on a single blockchain.

On Saga, you can now earn, borrow, or lend using bluechip assets from any ecosystem (from BTC and ETH to ATOM) without leaving their native exposure.

This is possible thanks to Saga’s Liquidity Integration Layer, which connects liquidity across major blockchains, making every asset more productive.

Here are a few of the most interesting dApps in the Saga ecosystem:

• Colt - Colt’s $D is the native stablecoin of Saga that earns by automatically deploying capital into the best performing yield-bearing stablecoin protocols on Ethereum (e.g. Noble, YieldFi)

• Mustang - Mustang is a borrowing protocol whose stablecoin $MUST can be minted by depositing collateral such as wETH, stATOM, yUSD, and tBTC

• Steer Protocol & Beefy Finance - Using those, you can access automated yield strategies to put your assets to work in just a few clicks

Both Mustang and Colt also have a points program.

Saga is creating a new kind of DeFi chain - a place where you can access high-yield opportunities for both stablecoins and top assets from all major ecosystems.

Whether you hold BTC, ETH, ATOM, or stablecoins, with Saga, you can make your assets work harder.

Check out Saga’s yield opportunities today!

🛠️Crypto tool of the week

An interesting free crypto data aggregator I’ve discovered recently is DropStab.

Some of its dashboards are already available on other platforms like DeFiLlama, but DropStab also has a few exclusive features you can’t find elsewhere.

Using DropStab, you can do things such as:

• See a list of tokens with a buyback program

• Check what the best-performing crypto VCs are

• Find tokenless projects for potential airdrops

… and many other things

You can check it out here.
