what's SporkDAO?
SporkDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization built on Ethereum, designed to foster community ownership and governance within the ETHDenver ecosystem. It serves as a mechanism for token holders to participate in decision-making processes, funding initiatives, and events that support Ethereum builders and innovators. The $SPORK token enables voting rights, staking for rewards, and access to exclusive community perks, emphasizing transparency and collective stewardship. Launched as part of ETHDenver's transition to a community-led model, SporkDAO integrates with broader Web3 tools to facilitate proposals, treasury management, and collaborative projects. Its structure leverages Ethereum's smart contracts for secure, on-chain execution of DAO resolutions, promoting long-term sustainability and engagement among developers, attendees, and stakeholders in the Ethereum space.
