The Defiant is the most trusted information source focusing on the open economy. We bring unbiased, balanced, facts-based and timely reporting to decentralized finance, NFTs and web3.

Defiant Media Inc. was founded in 2019 by Camila Russo, former Bloomberg News journalist and author of The Infinite Machine, the most read book on the history of Ethereum. Today, it has a core team of 17, plus a network of dozens of contributors. The Defiant publishes news stories and features, research reports, opinion columns, exclusive interviews and tutorials across its website, newsletters, podcast and YouTube channel. We are building a platform focusing on on-chain DeFi data which we expect will become an indispensable tool for investors, traders and analysts following the industry when we launch the first version in the coming months. Hundreds of thousands consume The Defiant content each month, and after its 10x growth in 2021, we expect that to climb into the millions this year.
