💡Hey DeXers, our next DAO Talk is on Tuesday, July 18th @ 16:00 UTC.

Joining us is Phygital, a community member who spoke up during our previous live talk and asked a really tough question about member and delegate incentives. So how could we not invite him to talk about this important topic at length?

✅ Phygital calls himself "DAO curious" but that is just scratching the surface. Phygital loves deep and lively spaces, is passionate about Web3 tools and infrastructure, and has a particular interest in bridging the physical vs digital world divide via NFTs. We'll certainly have a lot to talk about.

📍As before, there will be a $DEXE raffle among listeners and a Zealy Quest.

Join us on Tuesday and bring some questions!🔥
