About Null
Null is creating a new DeFi primitive: permissionless leverage on anything. Our protocol enables leverage on any asset, yield stream, or financial product or metric, expanding what’s possible in trustless finance. We are a small team backed by a Tier-1 VC and some of the founding architects of Uniswap.
