GGEZ1 Foundation DAO
GGEZ1 is at the forefront of integrating real-world assets into the blockchain sphere, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East and Africa. Their mission is to create a more sustainable and equitable Web3 economy in these regions, addressing challenges such as inflation and currency devaluation. The platform introduces an asset-backed cryptocurrency, collateralized by income-generating investments in sustainability (ReFi), providing users with price stability and a secure store of value.
Additionally, GGEZ1 offers a tokenization launchpad, enabling asset owners to fundraise by creating their own asset-backed cryptocurrencies, and a Web3 distribution framework to ensure these digital assets are accessible across various channels. By merging traditional investments with blockchain technology, GGEZ1 is paving the way for broader cryptocurrency adoption in regions where trust in physical investments has traditionally prevailed.
GGEZ1 Foundation DAO has been nominated as a top startup in Montreal, Canada, as well as in the Blockchain, DeFi, and Decentralization industries.
