💰 SAGA Delegates 7,000,000 Token to D_D
We’re thrilled to announce that Developer DAO has been selected to receive seven million tokens from SAGA. The token delegation goes to a validator we have deployed. We can start earning rewards to fund ongoing education and incentives in the DAO if we make it into the “active set”.
We are currently 80k short of being in the active set, so we need your help to attract more stakes and earn rewards for you and the DAO. Consider staking your tokens with our validator if you're a SAGA token holder. Not only will this help us reach our goal, but it will also enable you to earn rewards, contributing to both your success and the growth of the DAO.
If you're holding SAGA tokens, please consider staking them with us. via the links below:
Stake your tokens with us now via Comosstation/IBC Wallet
