What's the setup here, will you the one who will invest or will you give your money in your "friend" so he can invest it, it should be you who will invest at the same time who will monitor. It's hard to trust anyone now so better learn how to trade as well how to read charts once it listed so you'll know when to sell or to stop loss when it seems going to dump in price. I don't invest a lot in new projects especially in new DeFi but I do read in some groups that they were able to earn thru short term but it's quite risky to do so.
