This is a chestnut tree. You could walk past it and not place much importance, it's just like another tree, right? Not at all. This is one of the most important plants that generate essential resources for life: The chestnut tree produces up to 100 pounds of chestnut per year, provides ample shade, grows over a broad climatic range and can live up to 800 years. A simple chestnut tree is a protector of life, even for cold winters and for several generations. In fact, it could be considered a shield against unnoticed events. You may have heard squirrels tales about taking chestnuts for the winter. It's a representation of reality. Actually, one chestnut tree can provide food for five squirrels over an entire year. Think about it: In a hot or cold place, the chetsnut tree will provide food, shade, home and life to many other living creatures for hundreds of years. Just like the squirrel that saves chestnuts for the winter and avoids its own death, the "liquidation" is an event that can always be avoided when managing a Maker Vault. This is why the chestnut tree can be designated as the safeguard of your Maker Vault. But now, from this moment, it's the representation of why you're using DeFi Saver: A defense that provides you with resources to keep your Vault healthy, no matter what unexpected situation arises. This is the recognition for putting that effort to defend your Maker Vault through DeFi Saver. This is why it is the best tool for protecting matters when you are managing the future of finance.

What happens when you open a new Maker Vault? You put your collateral into the Maker Protocol, Maker takes it and brings you the possibility to issue Dai, you select your amount, press a button and then a new bulk of Dai is created. This final step is one of the most important events of the future of finance. You are pressing a button and creating a new amount of electronic currency that is automatically stable and free to use anywhere by anyone in the entire world. On top of that, this new currency is not controlled or monitored by any central entity, it's controlled by you and no one else. These features are powerful to bring financial inclusion, stability, freedom and connectivity to anyone who needs it. This is like the miracle of life in the future of finance. A new super-currency was born with one button. It's something we have to celebrate. This is why we delivered this American Arborvitae, called "the tree of life". Scurvy, a disease of deficiency of vitamin C, shocked French explorers on their second trip to Canada in 1535-1536, killing a large number of them. The captain Jacques Cartier asked for help from the American Natives, and they offered him an herbal tea. The tea was miraculous, recovering all these men even in the worst cases. Jacque called the plant used for tea as "arborvitae", Latin for "tree of life." Even in a tense situation, human warmth provided a cure for a disease among people from "different worlds." Dai, itself, is part of the recovering process that the different finance worlds need, decentralized and centralized both. Putting the best of both in a solution for those who need it most, and then healing with financial inclusion. Let's celebrate the life of Dai together and the new born for everyone's finances.

Your generosity never goes unnoticed! We want to thank each and every community member who donated to public goods in this round.

The address which minted this POAP participated in the KZG Summoning Ceremony: a publicly coordinated ritual to produce a random output. This output will be used in Proto-Danksharding, aka EIP 4844: an Ethereum scaling mechanism which will hopefully enable lower Layer 2 fees and greater global accessibility. EIP-4844 is expected to go live with the Dencun network upgrade in the near future. As of the time of writing, this ceremony was the largest setup of this kind when considering the number of contributions.

This POAP celebrates that its owner has not been rugged by nuwtox (yet). The POAP is claimable for the Iron Hand Holders of the "Layer Zero" NFT, which is a collection of 32 NFTs that have attracted a standing collection offer of up to 1 ETH pre-rug.

The Goerli Testnet successfully merged the Execution and Consensus clients on August 10th, 2022. Holders of this POAP were there for this historical moment, and also supported $2 or more to Coin Center, a non-profit focused on crypto policy.
