Here, community members can:\n\nCreate and Monetize Content: Users can produce and monetize their content directly through features like direct tipping, content collecting, and personalized NFT creation, all of which empower creators financially and creatively.\n\nParticipate in Community Governance: Unlike traditional platforms where decisions are made top-down, Dragverse employs a decentralized governance model that allows users to have a say in the platform\u2019s development and future features.\n\nEngage in Safe, Inclusive Community Interactions: With a strong commitment to privacy and security, Dragverse ensures a safe environment for all users, particularly those from vulnerable groups, to express themselves without fear of censorship or harassment.\n\nAccess Global Events and Collaborations: Through virtual events like Drag Balls and community-driven projects, Dragverse connects users worldwide, fostering global interaction and community building.\n\nOur goal for GG20 is to secure funding that will enable us to expand our technological infrastructure, enhance user experience, and increase community engagement initiatives.
