In January, we introduced the groundbreaking GS DAO Treasury, set to become the largest in the Web3 gaming ecosystem and meticulously governed by our community. We embarked on this ambitious journey by endowing the treasury with 44% of $GSWIFT and 1% of $SPARTA supplies, establishing a strong foundation for future growth.
The third project to join the treasury was StarHeroes, contributing 10% of the $STAR token supply. This partnership marked the largest airdrop in $GSWIFT history, with users collectively receiving over $10M in $STAR tokens as rewards. For instance, those staking just 888 $GSWIFT received 971 $STAR, equating to an impressive $700.
Adding to this momentum, we orchestrated an airdrop of $1M worth of staked $SPARTA tokens.
Since January, our Treasury has been bolstered by five more pioneering projects: JungleArt, OuterLife, Mephisto, C4E, and AbyssProtocol. Each contribution underscores our commitment to creating a robust and diversified Treasury.
$GSWIFT sets itself apart as a revolutionary gas token on the Layer2 network. It enables easy purchases of G-BUCKS, which can be seamlessly used across numerous immersive games.
