The DeFi craze continues as Orion Protocol just finished its last public sale of only $10,000 through a ‘gas war’ system. Essentially, anyone could participate and the allocation was based on a first-come, first-serve basis. One of the winners actually sent around $9,642 Ethereum using a fee of $1,147. The total amount received by the smart contract was around $700,000 in Ethereum for only a $10,000 sale which clearly shows the interest in DeFi remains strong.
