Why Machines & Money?

DeFi has caught the attention of the world’s largest asset managers. And they’re not just talking about it – they’re actively deploying billions of dollars!

As institutional capital moves onchain, the selection of investments is increasing, which means the quality and quantity of opportunities to earn yield and use capital in an efficient way increases even faster.

Thanks to DeFi’s permissionlessness, these opportunities are no longer exclusively available to the financial elite – we can take advantage of them ourselves as well!

So, our mission is to help you navigate DeFi’s evolving ecosystem by showing you how we’re putting capital to work in the official Machines & Money Portfolio.

A core part of the portfolio is the : a group of 20 projects that are innovating on DeFi’s cutting edge. By building a solid foundation of onchain products and infrastructure, these 20 projects are setting the stage for mass adoption – from retail and institutional users alike.

We invite you to join us on our journey to take advantage of these new opportunities as our industry experiences exponential growth!
