Index Coop is a DAO focused on making fully decentralized crypto index products, like the DPI (DeFi Pulse Index). Recently, the Index Coop teamed up with Bankless DAO to launch the BED Index: 1/3 Bitcoin, 1/3 Ether, and 1/3 DPI. Products like these make it easier than ever to get some skin in the game, so Do Your Own Research, and learn why the future of finance is decentralized. For this week's State of the Nation, we bring on four core contributors of Index Coop to walk us through it.
