Over the past year, this ancient metal had risen by 85%; meanwhile, on the same chart, the curve of Bitcoin had slid downward by 30%. This was not how a technical correction should look.

Original | Odaily Star Daily (@OdailyChina) Author | Azuma (@azuma_eth) The funds pool (Vault) model in DeFi is something everyone is likely already familiar with. To explain it in the simplest terms, the way funds pools work is: everyone puts their money into a certain pool, and then a so-called professional team (generally referred to as Curator) manages the funds.
