Unlock Protocol has been teaming up with ApeBond, a platform that helps projects with their own token, like us, grow safer and more stable. Suppose you've ever wondered why some tokens jump in price or fade away after a big promotion. It’s often because the project doesn’t actually control its own liquidity (the money available for trading). ApeBond flips this script, helping us build DAO-owned liquidity that lasts and, in turn, makes us more stable and self-sufficient. Why You Should CareDeF...

Until recently, Unlock DAO contributors had to rely on their popularity among fellow DAO members to receive a monthly recognition in the form of retroQF (retro quadratic funding) with our native governance token $UP. Often, the DAO members who were most frequently seen or known received the largest portion of that funding, while the newer or more introverted ones who put in the same or even more work received significantly less. We want DAO members to be recognized fairly for contributing val...
