Can you explain the proteo economic model to me and why it's so innovative?

You should read the docs or watch on YouTube for the GoGuyGo interview with Jose. For me one of the most innovative aspects of the project is the ability to use LP tokens from other DEXs - e.g Maiar and AshSwap. This means that as LP tokens leave a DEX to be used on ProteoDeFi the APRs will rise without impacting liquidity. It's a symbiotic relationship. There are other innovations besides but this is the one that hooked me

https://t.me/ProteoUnderground Feel free to join the underground and ask your questions, but I suggest you read the docs first, plenty of people willing to answer questions in the official group and underground chat.
