ArcadeDAO is a new milestone in the growth and decentralization of the Arcade Protocol ecosystem. With the launch of ArcadeDAO, control of the protocol is now in the hands of the DAO and its community members. Read on to learn about the purpose, benefits, and governance structure of ArcadeDAO.
What is ArcadeDAO?
ArcadeDAO is the next evolution in the development of the Arcade Protocol. Arcade’s V3 Protocol is designed to be a self-sustaining on-chain public good. With the launch of ArcadeDAO, Arcade’s community will advance the protocol towards achieving its future potential through decentralized governance.
Why Decentralize?
Throughout its existence, Arcade has emphasized community participation and input. By transitioning to a DAO with on-chain governance, Arcade will become a more resilient platform aligned with the community’s needs. ArcadeDAO’s mission is twofold – to steward Arcade Protocol and cultivate a decentralized ecosystem for the intersection of art, culture and finance.
ARCD Governance Token
Central to ArcadeDAO is the ARCD governance token. ARCD empowers token holders to participate in decision-making and vote on proposals. Holders of ARCD become members of ArcadeDAO with voting rights. The initial distribution of ARCD was calculated based on prior usage of Arcade Protocol.
