Rare Protocol Weekly Update: Jan 9
RareDAO council elections, how to reward stakers, community callouts, and emerging pools 🏊♀️
Rare Protocol is rewiring the economics of human creativity by creating a useful and unified dataset from the NFT market. The lynch pin for the success of this? RareDAO. The DAO plays a pivotal role in paving the way for the future of Rare Protocol, SuperRare, and the wider onchain creator economy.
This month, RareDAO is running elections for the DAO council. At the heart of RareDAO’s governance, the council plays a pivotal role in steering the collective journey, stewarding the DAO’s strategy, resources, and technology in service of its continued growth and development.
As a compensated position, RareDAO is looking for council candidates who believe that this inspired group of artists and technologists have the collective intelligence to transform the art world. Members of the council will have the unique opportunity to drive initiatives that foster a creator-first ecosystem, influence the strategic direction of RareDAO, and collaborate closely with leaders in blockchain and digital art, DAO governance, and protocol development.
