“This proposal aims to open new avenues for high-value collaborations generated from ground-up demand and support, which is true to BitDAO’s mandate,” Zhou noted. He believes such developments will help further the adoption of crypto.
“Bybit supports BitDAO’s vision in being a changemaker for all changemakers. In collaboration with BitDAO and its community, we look forward to propelling the mass adoption of open finance to greater heights and shaping the future of the industry.”
Zhou has encouraged the community and other parties to contribute to the discussion, including in research and development. The new project will utilize BitDAO’s native token BIT.
