🫴VanEck Promises To Fund Ethereum Developers With ETF Profits
The Defiant Daily
Together with
GM Defiers!
VanEck has promised to divert 10% of profits generated from its upcoming ETH ETF to support Ethereum development. The funds will go to the Protocol Guild, a collective of 152 core developers, for at least 10 years.
Aave is set to overhaul its governance structures with a new multi-chain design. Votes will be cast via the Polygon and Avalanche networks, with the Aave DAO subsidizing the associated transaction fees to provide fee-free voting.
The Bitcoin Ordinals community is locked in contentious debate over how to manage indexing the NFT-like inscriptions. Some researchers fear that a proposal from Casey Rodarmor, the inventor of Bitcoin Ordinals, could threaten to destabilize the protocol.
And Savings DAI, the yield-bearing version of MakerDAO's DAI stablecoin, has surpassed a total value locked of $1B. However, the market cap of DAI continues to decline despite sDAI's success.
