Announcing EnterDAO — building a gateway to the metaverse
The metaverse, in all of its complexity, is shaping up to be the next big digital economy. The open, decentralized economy we have all imagined. Obviously, NFTs, metaverse games and assets have seen exponential growth in 2021. Yet, the space is still in its early days with critical market infrastructure still missing.
As a team of builders who believe in putting our effort where our mouth is, we would like to announce the creation of EnterDAO.
EnterDAO is a decentralized organization on the Ethereum blockchain founded with the mission to build products enabling new markets within the metaverse economy. Through a lineup of core products EnterDAO aims to empower users, metaverse land owners, investors, brands and degens of all kinds by tackling pain points like access to metaverse land, its capital efficiency, as well as UX and onboarding of metaverse games.
Our immediate roadmap includes a DAO governance module, yield farming campaign, NFT drop and most importantly, two core products. EnterDAO will be governed by the $ENTR token. More alpha on all of this is coming soon in the EnterDAO whitepaper and the official website.
To bootstrap the DAO and deliver on all of this, we are happy to announce that EnterDAO has raised $1.8M from an early community of backers including some of Web3’s finest builders, investors, curators and meme lords. For both community and decentralization purposes, we’ve decided to raise a seed round from a wider pool of early backers, compared to a more traditional funding round with fewer investors.

Core Team
EnterDAO’s core team has been building decentralized apps and infrastructure since early 2017 through LimeChain, Proof Systems, Universe.xyz and BarnBridge. Recently, through Universe, part of the EnterDAO team launched one of the most technologically advanced NFT drops of the year — Polymorphs, as well as Lobby Lobsters, which raised $4M towards better crypto regulations.
