Yes I agree with you as crypto investors we have to familiarize with DeFI. Next to capital gain in crypto due to price increase in a token, DeFi will bring in high yield in crypto.
"can we can an auto compounding Cub pool?"
Cup pool does not have the auto-compounding feature but now they have added Kingdom with auto-compounding.
You have to move your funds to Kingdom to take advantage of auto-compounding.
Seems like kingdoms should offer a basic auto compounding cub pool. I am inclined to do that then add cub plus something else to a liquidity pool at this point.
