The DeFi Collective - October 2025 Report
October was a quieter month for the Collective, closing slightly in the red with a shortfall of $6,719.56. This represents a -61.79% change month-on-month, mostly driven by the expected drop in donations following September’s Ethereum Foundation grant and a 50% reduction in L2 revenues, which reverted to baseline after September’s spike following the SYND launch.

The DeFi Collective - September 2025 Report
September delivered a significant step forward for the Collective, closing the month well in surplus at $39,529.81 (134.77% above break-even). The result was driven primarily by the second of three Ethereum Foundation donations, a 5.71 ETH ($24,656.29) grant payment for DeFi Scan. Even excluding that contribution, the Collective would have still achieved a surplus month, thanks to a threefold increase in L2 revenues and steady Perma LP performance.

The DeFi Collective - August 2025 Report
August delivered a steady performance for the Collective, with both expenses and earnings moving slightly lower — though importantly, expenses fell further, narrowing the gap to surplus. We closed the month 5.49% shy of breaking even, with a shortfall of only -$1,806.15. This result was mostly driven by a decrease in donations from the BOLD PIL incentive scheme, though higher L2 and Perma LP yields helped offset some of the decline.
