DAO Vote on DOP NFT Marketplace Proposal

Following our recent vote to delay the grant program evaluation, we are pleased to present a fully developed proposal from Varmeta, a company specializing in AI, AR/VR, and blockchain development to the community. Varmeta offers end-to-end services, including consultation, concept development, and implementation.

This new proposal, selected from the DOP Grants Program, has been brought forward for community voting on its implementation by DOP. The DOP Grants Program empowers creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators to achieve true ownership and control of their personal data.

After thorough evaluation and feasibility checks by our team, the implementation funds for this proposal will be covered by the program’s allocation in $DOP tokens, if the proposal passes the community vote.

The proposal aims to establish the DOP NFT Marketplace—a secure and privacy-focused NFT trading platform powered by the DOP protocol. With this vote, you'll have the opportunity to decide if we should move forward with this exciting project.
