Buckle up. You’re about to meet the biggest DAO campaign of 2022.

🧬 Swash DAO: Data Unions and DAOs unite

DAOs enable communities to take an active role in the future of the projects they support, bringing collective decision-making to the forefront of Web 3.

As the world’s largest Data Union, Swash is actively looking for new ways to bring power to the community. Data Unions empower people to regain agency over their digital footprint through innovative data ownership solutions.

As two sides of the same coin, Data Unions and DAOs enable individuals to come together as a collective and work towards a common goal that operates in the interest of the masses.

The DAO Ignition campaign is here to kickstart the Swash DAO. By doing so, it will bring Swash closer to decentralisation by enabling Swash token holders to take more ownership over the future direction of the movement and to attract the most people to join the DAO from day one.

By entering, you can try your chance to win up to 300K USDT prize, trigger Swash to burn tokens, and become an Early Bird Swash DAO member!

🛠 How it works

The campaign will begin on February 15 2022 and will be live for one year, until February 15 2023. Its purpose is to kickstart the Swash DAO and to boost $SWASH token adoption across all chains — currently Ethereum, Gnosis Chain (xDai) and Polygon.

For every person who qualifies, Swash will add 20 USDT to the prize amount until reaching a cap of 300K USDT. One lucky winner will take home the grand prize, and all participants will automatically be considered DAO early bird members! The strongest and longest holders will be able to run for the DAO Steering Committee.

As part of the Swash Smoke token burn campaign, Swash will burn 10% of the monthly average of the amount held by the community for the duration of the DAO campaign until burning a max of 5M $SWASH.

Additionally, if the prize reaches 300K USDT, Swash will also make a donation of 100K USDT to charity as part of the Data for Good program.

At the end of the campaign, the DAO will be live, the winner of the grand prize will be selected, Swash will have burnt 5M tokens, and made a donation to charity!

💎 The magic of network effect

Even if you don’t win the grand prize, you can still benefit as a $SWASH holder and community member.

Why?

As more people join, the prize total will increase and more $SWASH will be burnt! The DAO Ignition campaign will not only spread the word about Swash and Data Unions, but it will also encourage user and token adoption and enable early access to the Swash DAO.

Invite your friends and spread the word to grow the prize amount and get Swash to burn more tokens 🔥
