What’s a DeFi merger, anyway? Nov. 25–Dec. 2 By Cointelegraph

The biggest events in DeFi this week all involved Yearn.finance, the yield farming optimization protocol. I covered the first, Pickle Finance, in my last installment.

Since then, we’ve seen integrations with Cream Finance, a lending protocol similar to Compound; Cover Protocol, an insurance provider that recently paid out users for the Pickle hack; Akropolis, another protocol primarily dealing with yield optimization; and as the most significant of all, SushiSwap, the decentralized exchange born as a Uniswap parasite.
