Let’s build on Ethena Network
Work in a team, tackle challenges, level up your skills and compete for bounties!
Ethena introduces USDe, a synthetic dollar built on Ethereum achieved by delta-hedging crypto collateral. Having achieved success in DeFi with integrations into Sky, Aave, Pendle, Eigenlayer & more, Ethena now is looking to work with the best builders to bring Ethena-powered apps to life. Leverage the unique properties of USDe to unlock new primitives, as well as access to Ethena's liquidity, capital access, and integrations across DeFi and CeFi.
