$BERT was built without a single dollar of outside money. Here is what that actually produced. 1/ A Hacken DualDefense audit. The same security tier used by protocols with market caps many multiples of BERT's size. Paid for by community members who decided the protocol needed to be done properly. 2/ $33,000 in staking rewards paid out. From people who sent their own tokens to the reward pool so other holders could earn yield. People funding infrastructure for people. Nothing required in return. 3/ 5+ tonnes of dog food donated to shelters worldwide. The Pet Placement Center. Animal Care Centers of NYC. Shelters affected by natural disasters. 4/ Woofhub. A NFT collection. Physical products in manufacturing. A pipeline that is not finished. The BERT community has been sustaining it for two years. That is the proof.
