Communications Lead (Remote)

Communications Lead (Remote)

GoodDollar.org is the leading project at the intersection of crypto and social impact, and the first non-profit protocol to leverage decentralized finance to deliver a crypto basic income to anyone with a smartphone. The past few months the GoodDollar POC used smart contracts to create and distribute over $16,000 of free currency to over 220,000 people in 181 countries (based on $58k DAI staked in Compound).

80,000 of our members are daily active users coming to the GoodDollar app every day (from across Southeast Asia, Nigeria, Argentina, Colombia, etc), ranking it in the top 10 of ALL Dapps by daily active users, of all dapps, across all blockchains. And the tokenomics has proven to work too - G$ holders enjoy a 60% APY with stability of 0.1% variation, making it a medium of exchange more stable than most fiat currencies in unstable economies. GoodDollar is more than a protocol, it is a movement.
