You still don’t know what is APWine? ==================================== > _It is never too late to learn how to make your own blend!_ Future Yield Tokenisation with APWine APWine brings a new primitive in the DeFi ecosystem, allowing people to tokenize their yield. This lets farmers trade yield in advance. Imagine a DeFi ecosystem where you can sell immediately your monthly yield or get the opportunity to buy yield at a discounted price! That’s the magic of winemaking: the more mature it is, the better it gets! About APWine ------------ APWine is the pioneering protocol for tokenized yield in Web3. Users can leverage the protocol to fix interest rates, speculate on APR evolution or receive future yield in advance (even today).
