Faster swaps, cleaner routes, smoother UX. Same junction.

Gm gm, Junction fam! 🐂

This week belongs to Ethereum. It’s been 10 years since it launched, and it’s hard not to be bullish.

From Ethereum to the multichain world we now navigate, the progress has been massive - and it’s only getting started.

Here’s what’s shaping DeFi this week (and how Junction fits in) 👇

What is Junction?
