How do you handle PR for a protocol that isn't regulated in most jurisdictions?

We frame coverage around what the protocol actually does and how it's governed, rather than making legal claims we can't back. Publications covering DeFi are used to this ambiguity and generally focus on the mechanics, the team, and the traction rather than a regulatory stamp of approval that doesn't exist yet for most of the space.

Can you get coverage for a protocol with an anonymous or pseudonymous team?

Yes, though it narrows the outlet list. Tier-1 crypto publications like CoinDesk and The Block will cover pseudonymous teams if the protocol itself has strong on-chain traction, audits, and a track record. We lean on those signals instead of founder profiles when a team isn't public.

What do you need before a token launch or new pool announcement?

Tokenomics details, audit results if available, the governance structure, and a clear answer to why this pool or token exists now. Launch coverage lands better with specifics than with generic yield claims, so the more concrete detail we have going in, the stronger the pitch.

How do you communicate after a security incident without making things worse?

Speed and specificity matter more than polish. We help protocols get an accurate, factual statement out fast, then follow with details as the post-mortem develops. Publications and communities punish protocols that go quiet or that overstate what's actually known in the first 24 hours.

Do you work with DEXs and lending protocols differently than yield aggregators?

The mechanics of the pitch change but the outlets are largely the same. Lending protocols get more traction with risk-management and audit stories, DEXs with volume and liquidity milestones, and yield aggregators with strategy transparency, since APY numbers alone don't hold up to informed scrutiny anymore.

How fast can a DeFi protocol get its first placement?

For an established protocol with real TVL and a clear story, 2-3 weeks from kickoff to a first placement is typical. A brand-new protocol without traction yet usually needs a stronger angle, like a novel mechanism or a notable audit partner, before major outlets are interested.
