Badger DAO Weekly Newsletter #14
Badger Ambassador Program, Badger.com, Gitcoin Hackathon, Official Roadmap
Hey there, Badgers.
While Bitcoin is hitting historical highs, the Badger community continues to build more products that put it to work. On top of that, the DAO passed $13M in revenue since its launch 13 weeks ago. It is clear that Badger is on track to becoming the most transparent and verifiable platform for Bitcoin DeFi.
For now, let's digg into what's been going on with the Badger DAO during the second week of March 2021. 🦡

When BadgerDAO announced its partnership with Gitcoin back in October 2020, Badger and Gitcoin simultaneously recognized a shared vision.
Grow open source. Grow the community.
Therefore, The Badgers are proud to be contributing $300,000 in matching funds for the GR9 and look forward to seeing the creativity and intellectualism of our community through this event.
Early Badger Acquires Badger.com with the Intention of Transferring Ownership to the DAO
Strategic advisor, very early Badger, and community member, Arben Kane, has purchased the Badger.com domain. His intention in purchasing it was to transfer ownership to the Badger DAO. He is willing to pass the cost to Badger with no markup in exchange for USDC from the DAO treasury. Outside of enhancing the reputation of the Badger brand as a whole, the domain would further solidify our app as the trusted place to put Bitcoin to work. Especially as we expand to provide value to non-crypto native users, this will become an important piece to their first experience and the ability to quickly overcome the common stigma that surrounds the cryptocurrency industry.
A Deep Dive into the Roadmap, Release Timeframes, Current Stages, and Leads
The main purpose of Badger DAO is to support expanded utility for Bitcoin in the DeFi ecosystem. As such, the Badgers have set their sights on a variety of initiatives to achieve this goal. Remember, if you are a $BADGER token holder, the future is in your hands! The Badger DAO is completely community-controlled, and token holders have voting rights to determine the next steps!
