Your weekly reads:
Today’s newsletter is brought to you by Vertex Protocol:
Vertex has recently launched on Arbitrum! If you are looking to try out a DEX that is much closer to the performance of a CEX then Vertex is the one.
Vertex allows you to trade, earn, and borrow all from one DEX. Their Universal Cross-Margin means all funds across spot, perps & money markets contribute to your account’s margin.
Vertex haven’t released their token yet, but you can earn it by using their platform! The UI is also a delight.
