Bridge from Polygon to Terra? Let's try.

Interested in bridging to Terra? Me too. One cost-effective way was via Binance Smart Chain, but I do not have any BNB for gas. I searched around for bridges that allow me to bridge over BNB directly, or for faucets (all seems dubious) and didn't man...

Fantom is on a surge currently. Following the surge in other platforms like Solana and Avalanche, it seems this platform is next (not financial advice at all). With the launch of Geist (an Aave twin), TVL on Fantom has exploded exponentially. Even th...

Where to start in Crypto? Stablecoins in Cefi.

CEFI = Centralised Finance. Some people balk at the idea of sending your crypto to centralised financial platforms (which are somewhat like banks, so you transfer your crypto assets for someone to "manage"/"hold" on your behalf. Obviously not financi...

Should you use an auto-compounder on Defi?

Hi guys. I'm back with another transfer worth USD30 (I'm a krill compared to the crypto whales out there). In case you've missed it, please check out the details of bridging in this article I wrote: https://www.publish0x.com/kopiarticle/polygon-to-fa...

30 Aug 2021 2 minute read 0 comments Kopi

There's a sudden increase in price for the Fantom (FTM) token, how can we get on Fantom chain (for those interested)? If you're like me, you've been exploring on Polygon chain and balk at any bridging (bridging = moving funds from one blockchain to a...

Question - how to know if a token is the real deal?

28 Aug 2021 1 minute read 3 comments Kopi

I have a question, and can't seem to find the conclusive answer. Hoping the community in Publish0x can help!  As a Polygon user, I was surprised to come across the AVAX token on QuickSwap. Does it mean I can own AVAX (and its potential to rise in pri...

Which is the biggest Defi chain?

Attracted by the insane yield in Defi? Me too. Maybe you've been a full-fledged traditional stock market, or someone who has dipped your toes into centralised finance (Cefi). Going from
