ABOUT Spool

Spool is permissionless middleware that allows users and builders to access DeFi in a fully composable manner. It lays the foundation for a customizable, scalable, and efficient financial services ecosystem that bridges the gap between end users and DeFi primitives. Spool unlocks currently dormant capital and allows anyone to earn yield on their own terms while fueling DeFi primitives with more reliable and predictable liquidity.

Established as a DAO, Spool is guided by a list of highly experienced blockchain stakeholders from Faculty Group, CMS Holdings, Digital Finance Group, Synthetix, Fourth Revolution Capital, Signum Capital, Barnbridge, AllianceBlock, Energy Web Foundation, Centrality, and many more.

Spool conducted a Balancer Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool via Copper in early December 2021, raising over $16 million USD. Following the completion of code audits, Spool is set to launch in Q1, 2022.
