## I heard that NEOPIN was selected to join the Innovation Programme of Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and is aiming to become one of the world’s first regulated DeFi protocol. Could you please elaborate more on this?
**Stefan Kim (CBO of NEOPIN)**
Located within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Abu Dhabi’s international financial centre, H-Lab, the parent company of NEOPIN, will benefit from ADGM’s robust regulatory framework that enables effective blockchain and digital assets innovation as well as thought leadership in the virtual assets space.

H-Lab will work with ADGM to support its development of a sound and progressive regulatory framework for DeFi, with the aim of becoming one of the first regulated DeFi providers in the world. 
It is looking to participate in the ADGM’s Digital Lab and collaborate closely with ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) to build a framework for the DeFi industry that both mitigates risks to consumers and the financial industry and lets new business models develop that can improve consumers’ experiences and outcomes.

In 2018, ADGM became the first jurisdiction globally to introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for the regulation of exchanges, custodians, brokers, and other intermediaries engaged in virtual asset activities. This framework is part of ADGM's ongoing commitment to bolster the economic diversification of Abu Dhabi and the UAE through innovation and sustainable initiatives and position itself as a destination of choice for virtual asset investors.
## After hearing the news related to the UAE, I now have a better understanding of what NEOPIN aims to achieve with CeDeFi. Could you please provide a more comprehensive explanation of CeDeFi?
**Stefan Kim (CBO of NEOPIN)**
'CeDeFi' stands for Centralized Decentralized Finance, which is NEOPIN's core concept. It represents a hybrid model that combines the advantages of CeFi and DeFi.

In CeFi, which operates under a centralized framework, concerns may arise regarding the custody of customer assets and the possibility of bank runs. It employs a custodial approach, making it challenging for customers to gain transparent insights into their asset management.

On the other hand, DeFi, a decentralized financial system, has been criticized for security vulnerabilities like hacking and potential issues with money laundering and terrorist financing.

CeDeFi platform aims to solve these problems by leveraging the strengths of both CeFi and DeFi, offering a regulatory complying, stable and secure environment that is also transparent, accessible, innovative, and flexible.

NEOPIN has been consistently complying with regulatory guidelines since its launch, reinforcing its CeDeFi platform through a rebranding earlier this year. NEOPIN is committed to complying with such as Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT). NEOPIN’s core values are ‘Trust’, ‘Stability’ and ‘Scalability’. And as mentioned earlier, NEOPIN will work with ADGM to support its development of a sound and progressive regulatory framework for DeFi, with the aim to become one of the first regulated DeFi providers in the world. Users will be able to use a secure and trustworthy CeDeFi protocol. NEOPIN aims to lead the global blockchain market as a pioneer in regulated DeFi.

Considering the challenges faced by CeFi and the increasing regulatory scrutiny imposed on DeFi by government authorities - we believe CeDeFi is expected to gain significant attention and recognition throughout the coming years.
## There is global hype surrounding LSD-Fi, and NEOPIN is actively involved by releasing Liquid Staking. Could you please explain NEOPIN’s liquid staking product and its advantages?
**Stefan Kim (CBO of NEOPIN)**
As a dedicated division for the new business development of Neowiz Group, NEOPIN started its blockchain business in 2017 by participating as a node operator (network participant) in various global blockchains such as <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a>, Tron, <a href="/price/cardano-ada" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Cardano</a>, and Cosmos.

NEOPIN has been providing staking services based on the NEOPIN team’s philosophy of pursuing “Trust” and “Stability” and its long-standing know-how in blockchain nodes operation. This has allowed NEOPIN users to easily and safely contribute to the decentralization and block validation of the blockchain network.

Now, with NEOPIN’s liquid staking service, users can experience not only a stable staking experience but also the opportunity to utilize assets diversely through liquidity tokens.

Plus, just like NEOPIN’s single staking products, users can stake with small amounts of assets. For example, while Ethereum requires a minimum of 32 ETH to operate a node, NEOPIN allows users to stake as minimum as 0.01 ETH.

In addition, rewards are a compounded return of staked assets as they are automatically re-staked. With NEOPIN’s liquid staking product, users do not need to manually claim and re-stake their rewards to achieve a compounded return as with single staking products.

NEOPIN also offers an “Immediate Unstaking” feature that allows users to swap in the swap pool for users who need to unstake their assets immediately.

I would like to inform everyone that there is an ETH Early Bird Event happening. If you participate in Ethereum Staking products, you will be rewarded with an additional 5% APY of NPT <a href="/price/polygon-matic" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Polygon</a> network.

NEOPIN, as a non-custodial wallet and decentralized service, does not hold and manage users’ assets. Therefore, NEOPIN cannot access the staked assets as they interact directly with the Ethereum network.

Stake your assets in liquid staking products today!
## I'm curious to know more about NEOPIN Membership Season 1. I heard that you benchmarked Blur and Arbitrum - can we expect significant rewards? Please explain more about it.
**Stefan Kim (CBO of NEOPIN)**

## What are the main products of NEOPIN?
**Stefan Kim (CBO of NEOPIN)**
NEOPIN offers two key products:

1.NEOPIN Wallet: The NEOPIN Wallet is a secure digital wallet that enables users to store and manage their virtual assets. Prior to accessing NEOPIN services, users are required to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. KYC/AML screening protects users from fraud and unhealthy transactions and helps prevent anti-money laundering attempts.

2.DeFi Services (Yield Farming, Swap, Staking, and Liquid Staking): NEOPIN provides a range of DeFi services, including Yield Farming, Swap, and Staking. On top of that, we've just launched Liquid Staking last week, expanding our offerings even further. These services allow users to earn rewards and optimize their virtual asset holdings. NEOPIN ensures regulatory compliance and incorporates user-friendly UI and UX on both mobile applications and PC websites.

For our roadmap this year, we have planned the following milestones:

-Q3: the launch of the Next-Gen Swap Engine for Optimal Prices
-Q4: the release of the Alpha version of the Credit Lending Protocol & 1 more EVM-compatible layer 1 network

In addition, I would like to highlight three of the highest APR pools available on NEOPIN:
🥇 ETH-NPT: 72.8% APR
🥈 USDT-NPT: 59.1% APR
🥉 MATIC-NPT: 28.1% APR

*The displayed APRs are estimated and should not be considered guaranteed rates of return.
