Join us for the 1st of 3 training sessions, starting on Sept 17th, 4–5pm CET. We've teamed up with @ReFiDAOist to onboard the first wave of curated crowdlending campaigns from local nodes and member projects, thanks to a generous grant from the network initiatives funding pool. In this onboarding session, you'll learn how to take a campaign from idea to live: setting funding goals and accepted tokens, understanding the two-token design, staking mechanics, harvest reporting, and redemption options plus $GROW, the network token that spreads risk and reward across the community, backed by revenues from an basket of campaigns chosen by the community. 👉 Sign up below
