DeFi yields beat returns everywhere you look. What does it take to tap into these returns consistently without risking everything? Join us to learn how Kenneth Estes, CEO of fund management company Diffuse identifies where to get the most attractive yields across chains, how Figment builds the infrastructure that puts DeFi yields on autopilot, why FalconX created a full-service execution suite that helps DeFi investments scale, and how Brevan Howard is deploying their capital into digital assets to capture the rise in DeFi and other high yield crypto strategies.

  • Yields: Are these wild west DeFi yields real, scalable, and here to stay?
  • Custody: Emerging coins generate the most attractive yields, but how can allocators profit without putting their capital at risk?
  • Risks: Hacks and scams, how do you build a digital fort?
  • Technology: What infrastructure would propel DeFi to an institutional level?
  • Trends: Where do you find and take advantage of the most attractive yield generating opportunities of 2022?

Figment’s purpose is to build a better Internet by increasing usage of the next generation of Proof of Stake blockchains.

These efficient blockchains give people greater control of their data, more privacy, and increase financial inclusion. By eliminating intermediaries they also limit the power of centralized data monopolies, rent seeking financial institutions and anti-social algorithms.

We bring our mission to reality by helping investors stake their tokens; earn yield and participate in securing the blockchain. Our Hubble and Prime applications as well as our governance expertise allow token holders to analyze, monitor and make informed decisions. We build Web 3 developer communities via our Learn education program and then make it simple for these developers to launch applications and manage smart contracts via our DataHub platform. And finally by building and operating The Graph based indexers we enable the efficient search and querying of blockchain data.
