Cobo released the Argus version 2 (V2) in late June, allowing users to access features such as DeFi strategies authorization, team role delegation and risk management. V2 is built on Safe, a decentralized crypto wallet.
“We are pleased to share that the Total Value Locked (TVL) in Cobo Argus has reached a significant milestone of US$100 million,” Fish said in a Telegram message.
Argus V2 supports all open-source DeFi protocols and lets traders utilize DeFi bots to automatically monetize farming rewards, compounding and token swapping. Farming is a colloquial term for a way to earn rewards by depositing tokens into a decentralized application (dapp).
