Junction: Festive cheer & DeFi updates

gm, Junction Fam, and Merry Christmas! 🎅

Don’t worry, though - we still have plenty of updates, rewards, and seasonal vibes coming up. In case you're new here, we’re building the ultimate DeFi Junction to make cross-chain interactions smoother and more accessible, so you can focus on exploring all that DeFi has to offer.

Let’s get into it!
