It's been our busiest few months at Octant. Ever.
v2 development is in full swing, with lots of exciting product launches coming up in the next few weeks. This is marking our first foray from funding impactful projects to moving into DeFi and a broader mission that surpasses any one category.
Let's catch you up on everything happening in the Octant ecosystem starting with our DeFi Summit.
You're officially invited to our inaugural DeFi Summit
We're excited to welcome such an incredible lineup of speakers joining us for the summit.
Tune in to listen to Sandeep Nailwal (Founder of Polygon), Smokey the Bera (Founder of Berachain), Marek Olszewski (Founder of Celo Labs), Marcin Kazmierczak (Founder of Redstone), Vivek Raman (Founder of Etherealize), and Azeem Khan (Founder of Miden) to name a few.
We're talking all things DeFi. From institutional DeFi trends to enterprise adoption, from cross-chain liquidity and stablecoins to ecosystem funding with DeFi and innovations coming up.
One session you might enjoy in particular (if you're trying to grow in this vertical) is how to successfully build a career in DeFi.
All that and more, tomorrow.
