When asked what attracted him to Spool, James said “At DFG, we believe in supporting products that will solve major issues in Blockchain. We are convinced that DeFi will be one of the major driving forces for the whole digital assets space and we are excited about the automated and efficient fund allocation of Spool.”

James explains further how he plans to use Spool within DFG, “According to the risk and rate of return, Spool will use the risk model algorithm to automatically optimize the portfolios. As a company that actively farms, we look forward to utilising Spool to achieve optimised results for our fund-specific investment strategies.”
