Some of these terms are really confusing especially trying to navigate all of these terms as a newbie
Do they mean the same thing?
A thread🧵
You get into a project's presale, whitelist spots are being hustled for, and Boom! You see some folks talking about participating in private sales😀
The confusion then set it.
What are public and private sales?
Both are all under a fundraising category, ICO, but they have different meanings.
Walk with me👇👇👇
✅️Private Sale
The ICO private sale period is the process in which tokens that are not yet announced to investors or open to the public are sold.
As the name implies, it is open to certain investors and not the general public.
As a rule, ICOs set strict requirements for participants in a private sale.
They might do video calls or interviews to ensure the investor is aligned with the ICO’s goals. Bonuses depend upon the size of the contribution.
Also, one of the Advantages of the private sale is big bonuses and discounts compared to the public /crowd sale.
✅️Public sale
This is also known as a crowd sale.
It is the most critical stage in the entire ICO path to success, so it is advertised and promoted more widely than presale.
A public sale is the one with the lowest risk.
However, there are also lesser bonuses or discounts than in presale or private sale periods.
The bonus and discount system is the same as in the private sale and is based upon how early the investor contributes and how significant the contribution is.
The potential of ICOs is immense, as they enable everyone to release freely-tradable tokens to raise capital for project development.
For those who have decided to run an ICO to raise capital for a startup, it is recommended to choose the right path for your ICO sale and participation.
Both private and public sales are good, but one can help make a higher level of income easier, cheaper, and more profitable for your project.

What are yield aggregators, and how do they operate?
A thread 🧵
Yield aggregators are also called auto compounders or yield optimizers, and they play a crucial role in the yield economy by combining different defi protocols
and strategies to maximize investors' profit.
Let me explain what I mean by this, just like how these ponzi sites promised returns on investment. Then these resources are pulled together and invested in different businesses, as the case may be, and then returns are distributed to these guys based on the agreement made.
A Defi protocol can only be said to be complete when there is a smart contract deployment.
What really are smart contracts?
A short thread🧵
Smart contracts are tools that can automatically execute transactions if certain conditions are met without requiring the help of an intermediary company or entity.
What the smart contract does is cut that central body of authority.
It is more like the reason why decentralization is possible.
Whether it is obvious or not, intermediaries permeate our digital lives.
Even simply sharing a picture with friends online requires the services of an intermediary like Facebook or Twitter. .
