Platform Statistics

Buffer frens

This week we were thrilled to share some great news from our friends at Camelot.

They are proposing an Arbitrum DAO grant of 12,000,000 ARB tokens over 6 months to distribute as liquidity and integration incentives. This Accelerating Arbitrum proposal aims at leveraging Camelot as an ecosystem hub to support native builders.

Since Buffer Finance is a member of the Round Table and one of Camelot’s launch partners, we are excited about this proposal. It’s amazing to see the project’s growth and impact! This is a proposal that marks a major milestone in Camelot’s journey and we are excited to be among the ranks of the amazing Arbitrum Ecosystem Builders.

Needless to say, we are in full support of the proposal, and we encourage everyone to get involved in the discussion and voting process.

We look forward to your feedback once you dive in and experience it firsthand.
