Project Updates 🦉
MakerDAO adds $GNO
In coordination with Karpatkey, GnosisDAO recently authored a post on the Maker Forum proposing to lock $GNO in a new Maker Vault. The Maker Vault is a core component of the Maker Protocol, which facilitates the generation of Dai against locked up collateral. Vault usage collectively alters the total supply of Dai. Users create Dai by generating it against their collateral and in-turn destroy Dai when repaying their generated Dai balance. The Dai generated from the $GNO vault will be used to support the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

🏔 of the Week
A few weekly tidbits highlighting regular goings on.
🏘 DAO of the Week: Opolis
Opolis is a digital employment cooperative that allows independent workers to “own their employment”.
Opolis members enjoy benefits packages that are typically only available through traditional employment. As a cooperative, Opolis can compete with the public exchange while offering payroll, health, dental, vision, 401K, HSA and FSA benefits.
Opolis is structured as a C-corp with an “employment DAO” commons underpinned by permissioned membership and the $WORK token. Tokenized rewards are available to members who utilize the service and refer friends.
They currently serve members in the USA, with service expanding to Canada next year.

The World Cup is here! We’re hosting the biggest decentralized betting competition ever, with up to $50,000 prize pool, daily giveaways, and exclusive NFTs available with Galxe!
It’s been quite a start to the World Cup so far. With the Argentina upset, bettors are definitely starting to take advantage of the underdogs. Germany - Japan was another controversial upset, and bettors did take full advantage. We had numerous bets for Japan with odds well above 6; bettors are definitely enjoying the biggest sporting event of the year!
