Objectives 🎯

Deepening and Broadening of our Product Line

• The BadgerDAO is currently the owner of a great primitive product, eBTC
• The core team is mainly focused on improving the surface area of this primitive, i.e. adding integration interfaces for various features (e.g. leverage, staking, money markets)
• Badger could use more products built on top of this primitive and products in parallel to the eBTC stack

Discover New Ideas and Talent

• Although some ideas about what to build are floating around, infinite possibilities have not yet been explored or even conceived
• Our current team can only handle a limited amount of workload. Having multiple teams work on Badger would be much more efficient!
• We always seek skilled contributors who can add value to the DAO

Support Projects that Enhance the eBTC Ecosystem
