This token was distributed directly via printed claim sheets to participants in the 2025 Things 4 Good Candle Fundraiser hosted by the Thingelstad family. This annual give back event raised donations for causes that we want to support by selling our handmade wooden wick candles. This year's scents included True North, Winter Wonderland, Charcoal Rose, Old Fashioned, Apple of My Eye, Tea Time, Oh My Darling, Pumpkin Pie, and Just Crackle (unscented). This year we also debuted the 24oz XL Candles in Winter Wonderland and True North, as well as the T4G Labs and Rekindled collections. Finally, this was also the first year that we offered candle lids. Many new things! We provide the materials and make the candles so that ALL proceeds from the fundraiser go to four different non-profits that we each pick. This year we supported: - Animal Welfare Institute → https://awionline.org/ - Border Angels → https://www.borderangels.org - The Food Group → https://www.thefoodgroupmn.org - Sandy Hook Promise → https://www.sandyhookpromise.org

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/
