history

On May 4th, 2021, a retroactive allocation of BANK went out to those already participating in the bankless community. 

On May 7th, BanklessDAO voted on its first proposal, which allocated 25% of the Genesis Treasury to Bankless LLC (the incorporated company that owns the BanklessHQ brand) over a vested period. 

Now Bankless operates in 1–3 month distribution campaigns called “seasons” to drive participation and functionality in the Bankless community.
