Proof of Proximity with the GMI Hoodie 💯
The Index Coop is partnering with IYK, a digi-physical fashion startup, and BanklessDAO on a limited edition hoodie that promotes the spirit of innovation that our Bankless DeFi Innovation Index (GMI) represents. This high-quality, streetwear-inspired hoodie comes loaded with 1 GMI token and a permanently linked NFT. Anyone in possession of the hoodie can, at any time, scan the merchandise to call the NFT to their own wallet. IYK calls this “proof of proximity”. These GMI hoodies could act as entry tickets to events, be used to claim associated benefits like free drinks, and even be used to disperse POAPs for physical attending events. There’s a world of possibilities to explore in this new frontier of digital/physical fashion. Buy the $GMI Hoodie here.
$INDEX Voting & Delegation 🗳
One of the great things about holding the $INDEX token is that it entitles you to have an impact on the decisions being made in the Index Coop governance and metagovernance process. But what if you’re too busy to stay up to date about new proposals from Index Coop and the underlying protocols in our tokens? It may not be impossible for $INDEX holders to take part in every vote that comes through Snapshot, which is why there is a process for $INDEX holders to delegate voting power to active governance delegates. When you delegate your $INDEX voting power, our $INDEX tokens never leave your wallet. Only the voting power carried by the $INDEX tokens is transferred. So whether you want to delegate your votes or become a delegate, a clear understanding of how this process works is essential to the success of Index governance and metagovernance. Learn how to delegate your votes here.
