New longread 🧰 "HUMBLE ft Gearbox Protocol"

Today's piece is about the shift in DeFi values since 2020, and how it impacted OG teams: their speed and focus, sometimes in the wrong direction. Going through our mistakes with Gearbox Protocol and the future we see ahead, including practical steps and the thesis ahead for lending (DeFi) being permissionless.

I hope the piece will be useful for other teams too, as the first part is generalized 💡 You'll get the HUMBLE acronym pun as you read through 😉

Thanks to everyone who keeps an eye on Gearbox, continues supporting and using the protocol, works with us on attracting TVL and users, and also to the backers who have been with us for so many years. We continue trying to make you proud (and rich).

See you in sgp, please give me free seafood 🦀
