- We are in the final phases of negotiating a blockchain partnership that will super power our roadmap and enable our DAO tooling to coordinate our efforts at scale.
DAO Challenges
As can be expected, we've also faced some challenges:
- A change in personnel at Hurricanes has delayed our proposed 4TH-KIT launch during the season. While we aim to work with them in the future, we are currently seeking other teams for this launch. We are discussing alternative rights holders and also welcome any introductions or recommendations.
Thank you all for your continued support and contributions. Together, we're building something remarkable.
Best Regards,
President, RugbyDAO
