Protocol Integrations & Updates

DAO Updates

  • We’re hoping to have more delegates to build a more robust DAO with a diversity of participants, so we’ve decided to expand our delegations of remaining pre-mine UDT to organizations that can help support the adoption and growth of the protocol and web3. Read more about it here.
  • If you’d like to follow the progress of the DAO governance process and see all of the details at any given moment, head over to our Tally and check out the details.
  • Please DELEGATE YOUR VOTES if you’re participating in the DAO. You can self-delegate or choose a community member, but please delegate! Here’s the details on our community site: https://unlock.community/t/start-delegating-now/125/2
