Trending projects on Juicebox 📈

Chris Blec, DeFi expert and host of the Proof of Decentralization podcast, has launched a JB fundraiser for Blec Report. The goal of this new project is to educate DeFi users and encourage adversarial thinking by highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of popular Dapps like Liquity (LUSD), MakerDAO (DAI), and Aave. Contributors to the Blec Report project will receive nfts at three tiers: 0.1 ETH, 1 ETH, and 10 ETH.

I have also simultaneously launched a @juiceboxETH for Blec Report w/ 3 limited edition NFTs.
I want to work on this f/t & keep it free for all. The more I raise, the more time I can spend on the site & more related content like videos & podcasts.
