About the Bounty
Friktion brings Portfolio Management to DeFi. Volts, Friktion’s quantitative yield strategies are built to generate returns across market cycles. Friktion’s Volts are built with principal protection, yield generation, and volatility in mind. Friktion uses options, (power) perps, and money markets to create a set of strategies that allow anyone to earn on their crypto assets.
The Friktion Bounty gives you a chance to directly work with the core team in your research about the protocol.
