# Welcome to Project Panda

## Why Project-Panda? &#x20;

**Project-Panda is providing critical infrastructure to the NFT space in the form of secure, transparent, customizable, and censorship resistant exchange contracts.** These contracts will serve as a decentralized baseline for the exchange of NFTs, and ensure that future projects have a well architected set of contracts to build upon.&#x20;

Also, we will build ecosystem which supports different social causes and charities by contributing to the shelters, catastrophes and other social requirements.

In addition to providing a baseline, we will build features which promote custom use cases and open access to the NFT space. To help contribute to this development and our direction as a whole, we have created our governance and utility token: PNDA.&#x20;

PNDA is used to propose platform changes and dictate overall direction, and to vote on these proposals.&#x20;

Starting as a key piece of decentralized NFT infrastructure, and building upon that with contributions from our community of creators, collectors, and investors, PNDA is an unstoppable force moving the NFT space towards a better future.
