Money is not the only currency. Traditional spheres of influence—from Hollywood, to Wall Street, to Silicon Valley—are converging and intersecting more now than ever before. A new marketplace has emerged with creators and their audiences at the center of it all. Enter P00LS: the leading community-first, decentralized exchange for creator cryptocurrencies. We partner with creators and brands to launch their proprietary token, distribute it to their communities, and list it on the P00LS decentralized exchange, where it can be earned and traded on Ethereum. Partnering with P00LS means incentivizing audiences and fanbases to consume creator and brand content, while empowering them to promote, share, and scale it. With P00LS—the premier tool for accessing creator value—money is no longer the only currency. https://www.p00ls.io/ Interested in joining us? Please check our latest job posts on angel.co/p00ls
