A New Home for Edge

The newsletter you've been subscribed to is being relaunched as EDGE by YO, published by the team behind YO Protocol. Same independent DeFi research, same focus on protocols, risk, and yield.

Here's what's changing and what isn't. 👇

What stays the same

Deep-dive on a single DeFi mechanism, exploit, or market dynamic per issue. This is still independent research. We cover what's actually happening in DeFi, including things that reflect poorly on protocols we use, partner with, or compete against.

What's changing

The Exponential team is now part of YO. Our risk arm operates inside YO going forward, and Edge moves with the team. The researchers, analysts, and editorial perspective you've been reading carry over directly.

What changes operationally: we're moving to a biweekly cadence so we can spend more time per issue on questions that don't fit a weekly cycle. How looping unwinds under stress. How cross-chain trust assumptions break. How lending markets reprice when collateral is illiquid. We'll also integrate tighter with YO product surfaces. When the analysis connects to a vault, market, or governance vote, we'll link it directly.

What we'd ask of you

1. Reply with one sentence if there's a specific topic, protocol, or yield strategy you'd want a deep-dive on. We'll prioritize it.

2. Forward to one person who works in DeFi if you've found Edge useful. Word-of-mouth is how the readership we have was built, and it's how we want to grow.
