🚨 Stacker DAO Announcement 🚨

Building communities on Bitcoin! Launch NFT communities, civic groups, guilds, investment funds, and more with just a few clicks. Coming soon 🤭

Vault yields will be distributed as soon as Binance withdrawals open again. Sorry we don't have a better system for this (have to work with PoX limitations). We could try using Coinbase or Crypto.com in the future to decrease the risk on Binance.

Cycle 26 yielded ~1.7BTC which we turned into 45,435 STX

❤️ Bitcoin Badgers begin breeding on February 14th, Valentine’s Day ❤️

Anyone with two or more Badgers can breed them in pairs of 2 to create a Baby Badger.

If you breed 2 badgers with the same trait, there is a higher likelihood of that trait being passed down to your Baby Badger. Additionally, each Badger will come with one free “heart” that you can choose to allocate to your favorite trait to increase further the probability of that trait being passed down to the Baby Badger. There is no cost to breed a Baby Badger other than the network transaction fee unless you choose to purchase additional hearts (5 STX).

👇Join the Bitcoin Badgers Discord👇

They will soon be dropping the benefits of holding 2 Badgers + the Baby Badger.
