FAQ'S

USDC is generally compliant with regulators, is widely supported on most of the major networks and is highly liquid.

Can I sell or transfer my membership NFT?

No, within the gDAO, projects are funded as a basket in equal amounts at once when you deposit into the platform.

How are my deposits secured from smart contract risks?

The deposits are automatically sent to a multi-sig wallet managed by gDAO and PIPE team members and not within a smart contract.
This virtually eliminates the risk of smart contract exploits since deposits are not held within a smart contract.
