- The asset management platform, which was launched in September, aims to make so-called “yield farming” easier for small and novice investors in the DeFi sector.
- According to Harvest Finance, yield farming has become harder for small investors due to volatility in the DeFi space, high transaction fees and potential security risks on smart contracts.
- The project itself is audited by third parties and 10% of the protocol’s token supply is used to support the audit process.
- The platform’s token FARM also saw a big jump, up by 35.72% over the past 24 hours, according to Messari.
