Go from cash to crypto in a flash.
DeFi Pulse is a decentralized finance (DeFi) analytics platform created by Concourse Open's Scott Lewis in August 2019. It provides real-time, in-depth insights about crypto market trends on the Ethereum network, via information such as total value locked (TVL) in protocols, growth, and category—decentralized exchange, lending, derivatives, payments, etc.
The DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) is an index token fund comprised of high performing cryptocurrencies that are weighted based on their market capitalization. DPI was developed and is managed by Index Coop, with DeFi Pulse contributing to its methodology.
According to IndexCoop, tokens on DeFi Pulse Index tokens have strict requirements for inclusion:
- Ethereum-based
- Active DeFi decentralized application (dapp) association
- Substantial liquidity
- Safety and usage screens
DPI is an ERC-20 token that is compatible with the Ethereum ecosystem. Each DPI token represents a share of this fund. Rather than buying each token individually, by buying DPI you own a small piece of many tokens at once. DPI holders are typically DeFi traders and longterm investors who seek out diversified DeFi ecosystem exposure.
