We spoke with the project lead of Ded Monkes and Phase Protocol, Devour, along with Berty and Magic Degen. Ded Monkes is an NFT project and DAO Bhattman and I have been members of for a while and they have just launched the new Phase Protocol, which is an escrow based protocol for Solana NFT projects which aims to set certain benchmarks for fund releases which the project communities will vote to veto the meeting of. The goal is to keep liquidity in the ecosystem and out of the pockets of ruggers and project founders who fail to deliver.
