Currently, most DeFi strategies depend on liquidity, are difficult to predict and carry great risk. The protocol uses automated derivative strategies independent of liquidity mining and minimizes risk. In addition, platform makes users’ profit analyses more predictable in this way. Rafaella Baraldo, Founder and CEO said:
“We have talked to hundreds of shareholders to understand their needs and improve our platform according to their feedback. Recently Pods did four security audits on its Pods Yield product, two of them with OpenZeppelin in November and December 2022. We are not only generating results but have developed a range of products dedicated to assisting DeFi protocols to diversify their treasury into low-risk strategies, making their treasury strategy more resilient”
The company is creating a DeFi protocol platform that includes professional investment strategies without requiring any financial expertise of DeFi users. In this way, users provide the advantage of less risk and predictable profit. Pods Yield is the first product of the stETHvv( Ethereum Volatility Vault) strategy platform. This strategy focuses not on the market direction, but on the volatility of the market. Regardless of the direction of the market, if the volatility is high, profits are made.
