Squad Wealth Fund update
🤔 What is the Squad Wealth Fund?
The Squad Wealth Fund (SWF) is the community treasury. Every season, it’s replenished through the Nym Delegations Program and allocated to community missions, development, events, and operations.
- NYM tokens are delegated to mix nodes.
- Rewards are collected and added to the SWF.
- Grants and bounties are distributed to contributors.
- A seasonal report like this one is generated.
