Friday Mar 10, 2023 is a very significant day in the history of Bankless, it marks the day we set sail into the realm of web3 fully. We are migrating off of a publishing platform (Substack) and self hosting a platform for equipping people along their Crypto Journey. As a top crypto media company with well over a quarter of a million subscribers, we are locking this down only to existing verified users prior to the launch.

Backed by the Ethereum Foundation, clr.fund and EthStaker have teamed up to run a Quadratic Funding (QF) round with a 350,000 DAI matching pool dedicated to funding open source public goods for the Ethereum staking ecosystem. You either donated to a grant, the matching pool - or both! Thank you for your donation towards Public Goods!

One year ago today the POOL token was distributed decentralizing control of PoolTogether! In one of the most community centric distributions ever, 15% of all POOL tokens were given to all depositors on day 1. Since then community ownership has only increased. This POAP belongs to the POOL token holders that govern the PoolTogether protocol.

That's one small step for DAO and one giant leap for DAOkind! This POAP is awarded to the original contributors of MoonDAO's initial fundraise. Design credit: BearAllies
