Does your DAO want to delegate treasury management but keep custody? Or trustlessly automate your yield?
Check out our Smart Vaults to automate DeFi operations in a secure, trustless, and non-custodial way.
For DeFi projects: you can also automate collecting your fees across chains and swapping/distributing them.
Previously Mimic’s co-founders helped build POAP, Balancer, and OpenZeppelin, among others. Backed by Starbloom Ventures.
