The past few months have been filled with major milestones and progress for dTRINITY!
As of mid-August, protocol TVL has climbed to $6M, with new partnerships and upcoming chain expansions set to power our next phase of growth. We remain on track to TGE by year-end, when users may convert their dT Points into utility tokens (more details coming in Q4).
We’re also delighted to feel the breeze of DeFi Summer returning as BTC soars beyond $120,000 and ETH mounts a comeback toward $5,000. The yields are flowing, markets are growing, and spirits are glowing! Hang onto your hats, for the best chapters of our journey are still unfolding 🚀
