Pros and Cons

Cons

• One of their investors, Divergence, got caught airdrop farming, hinting to insider knowledge (9-10-2021). It first came to light due to Ribbon Finance:

"This @divdotvc analyst @_bridgeharris has made 652 $ETH and counting from @ribbonfinance airdrops, quite impressive. finding wallets like their's and copytrading them is probably the best way to make it tbh. the strat was just deposit .1 eth in ribbon theta vault 140 days ago but across many many wallets"

• Divergence quickly released tweets saying they were in crypto for more than money, realized they went to far (dumping the farmed token directly into ETH) and that they would send the ETH to the Ribbon DAO.

Team, Funding, Partnerships, etc.
