Copy our “All Weather Alpha Portfolio” on Nested

We believe the AWAP portfolio will result is significant appreciation eventually, and should weather an extended bear market, where more speculative tokens and protocols could fade away to irrelevance. Our next DCA will happen in roughly 9 days.

You can head to Nested here and copy this portfolio or another one!

We are also going to send $500 USDC to one wallet that copies the portfolio with at least $100 (or equivalent) deployed into it, as a thank you for the support!

*We have entered into a long term partnership with Nested.
