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