These assets can be used to provide liquidity to partners, and bootstrap new protocols such as decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending and synthetics protocols.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Change Maker for Change Makers <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with DeFi and CeFi partners around the globe, BitDAO seeks to propel the growth of the overall ecosystem, instead of any single proprietary chain.<\/p>\n<p>BitDAO will work with change makers to help drive the decentralized tokenized economy and shape the future of finance for the benefit of all its participants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About BitDAO <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BitDAO is one of the world\u2019s newest and largest decentralized autonomous organizations, formed with the vision of leveling the economic playing field for every person in the world through the acceleration of the decentralized tokenized economy.<\/p>\n<p>Homepage: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitdao.io\/\">www.bitdao.io<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitDAO_Official\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/BitDAO_Official<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Discord: <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/jTBC4BKnj7\">https:\/\/discord.gg\/jTBC4BKnj7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Telegram: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/BitDAO_Official\">https:\/\/t.me\/BitDAO_Official<\/a><\/p>\n<p>GitHub: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/BitDAOProtocol\">https:\/\/github.com\/BitDAOProtocol<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Medium: <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/bitdao\">https:\/\/medium.com\/bitdao<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Disclaimer: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This release must not be published or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any other jurisdiction in which such publication or distribution is prohibited by law.
