In addition to making progress on our core product, the team enjoyed a successful launch party at the second annual Cryptoween Party, hosted by Obsidian Capital (a lead investor in Plutus DeFi).

Tracking the Evolution of DeFi

The Plutus team remains committed to maintaining open communications with our customers and supporters and to that effect, we’ve published articles about our efforts and insights into what’s happening in DeFi.

In DeFi Needs Privacy: Here’s Why, we delve into the reasons we’ve chosen to pursue the integration of privacy in DeFi solutions as the focus of our efforts.
