Amongst them are Reddit co-founder Alex Ohanian, FTX’s head of ventures and gaming Amy Wu, and Animoca Manufacturers chairman Yat Siu.
Since its inception, the DAO has obtained a number of proposals to create a market. None have been profitable. If Magic Eden can buck the pattern, it mentioned that it may launch its proposed market in September for gratis to the DAO.
