HODLpac V.2
Including: HODLvote tokens, HODLscore, and our new Discord server.
Good morning!
Today is Monday, August 24, 2020, which means two things:
We are 70 days from the 2020 election.
There is still plenty of time for HODLpac to make an impact supporting champions of crypto-friendly policy in the United States Congress.
Today is also a special day because we’re rolling out HODLpac V.2.
As you all know, HODLpac is a political action committee for and by the crypto community in the United States.
When we first launched in Spring 2020, we did so because we wanted to create an organization that both promotes and represents the promise of the decentralized economy in Washington, DC. That is why we made HODLpac a community-governed PAC: we wanted to experiment with the tools and methods of the public cryptonetworks that we want to see thrive in the United States.
So, we are very excited to announce a few new features at HODLpac that get us closer to that vision.
HODLvotes
The first new feature of HODLpac V.2. is HODLvotes: Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens on the Rinkeby test-net. HODLvotes are essentially governance rights over our community-owned PAC.
Members of HODLpac - you all - can earn HODLvote tokens in the following ways:
Donating to HODLpac - donate at this link and get 2x your donation in HODLvotes (from now until September 1st).
Sharing your email.
Subscribing to this newsletter (congrats, you’ve already earned some HODLvotes!).
Members of HODLpac will then “spend” HODLvotes during Community Ballots to vote for which candidates we should support.
These initial ways to earn HODLvotes reflect the priorities of our young organization:
Raising money to donate.
Growing the HODLpac community.
In the future, we will add new ways to earn HODLvotes, stay tuned!
Important: previous donors and subscribers to this Substack should check their emails later today for a message with your airdropped HODLvotes.
HODLpac’s Discord
HODLvote tokens are also your ticket to HODLpac’s new token-permissioned Discord.
Click the above link to join the #intro channel on HODLpac’s Discord. There, you’ll learn how to connect your MetaMask (other wallet integrations coming soon) to gain access to the private, members-only channels.
HODLscore
Finally, the HODLscore section of our website is ready to go! Here, HODLpac members can learn about what members of and candidates for Congress are doing and saying about crypto.
We’ve compiled the legislative activity, media clips, and press releases for 14 members of Congress and 1 candidate. But, we’re not done! We’ll be updating continuously and adding new members and candidates as we go.
Want to help? Earn some HODLvote tokens and join the #HODLscore channel on our Discord.
We hope you’re as excited about these new features as we are!
