What will be the NFT’s utility?

None! There is no utility and you will not receive any financial or non-financial benefits from us. This NFT only acts like a digital donation receipt. You donate to us with no strings attached. You get the NFT as bragging rights for supporting maximally decentralized DeFi, but you won’t be able to do anything with it other than showcasing it in your wallet.

How will the proceeds be used?

All donations will be sent to our treasury to support maximally decentralized DeFi projects in line with our purpose. Our operations are fully on-chain and our financials are transparent and auditable. Projects we support include Liquity, DYAD, Aerodrome, Velodrome, Maverick, PoolTogether, Diva, Possum Labs, and HAI.
