Howdy,
Hope you all are staying safe and healthy out there! We are super excited to bring back the Best of Abridged!
While social distancing, people have been up to a lot of super interesting projects that we have been following and we want to highlight some of our favorites.
As a quick reminder, the Best of Abridged series provides an insight into our culture, an understanding where we are heading, and continues our community-driven mission by including you into the conversation.
Please reach out to discuss any of these topics further!
Abridged Announcements
We have launched Collab19! This DAO provides a more efficient, community-driven way to donate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Just a few months after the launch of Signal DAO, we’re already funding proposals through telegram bots.
If you want to stand up your own instance of the Collab19, we created this repo to guide you! Let us know if you have any questions, or would like to get on a call.
