We are excited to continue grow our community, talk about a few core principles, and announce Hats.finance ambassador's program, in our lingo — Hatters.

Key Takeaways:

  • Hats are expanding the community, and we started with articulating a few guiding principles we can start with: Open Collaboration, Open-Source Knowledge, and Consistent Evolution.
  • The Community expansion starts with the Hatters ambassador program, where we invite hackers, developers, crypto & privacy enthusiasts to become a part of crypto security’s future.
  • There are several teams in the Hatters program— Community, NFT and UX, Growth, and DAO2DAO, each with its own goals and compensation allocations.

The Hats community

Over the past few weeks, the hats community has began to take form, as people joined, contributed, and helped the core team in launching the first version of the Hats protocol in the quest to create new security principles for Web3.
We want to begin talking about a few core values of the Hats community, and while these values are going to be decided and finalized by the community DAO, we want to start with a few we think are proper:

  • Open Collaboration — Any project, protocol, and community are welcome to collaborate with hats. Hats community members are invited to explore how they can assist and add value to the Hats project and other projects in the process.
  • Open Source Knowledge — Education, aligned partnership, and information sharing are main driving forces in building the Hats ecosystem. We believe that sharing information is critical if we want to secure the Ethereum ecosystem.
  • Consistent Evolution — Research and focus on innovation requires a multitude of opinions and ideas if we want to challenge the solutions of the legacy world. We welcome all opinions, ideas, and perspectives and we want to be challenged if the community thinks we can do better.

Who are the Hatters?

Hatters are the ambassadors of Hats.finance. Hatters are unique because they are highly skilled; They possess the wisdom of owls, are highly adaptable like chameleons, problem-solvers like bears, and are amazing messengers like Crows.

Hatters can write articles, introduce new projects, give innovative solutions, and onboard new members. Most importantly, Hatters have one value in common: they believe in revolutionizing the future crypto security. Whether you are a hacker, a developer, a privacy fanatic, or crypto enthusiast, as long as you believe in our mission of making the crypto space more secure, transparent and autonomous, you have a place in our community.

We believe that ambassadors are an essential part of any DeFi community, and we have seen firsthand how the Hatters community can embrace new members, even on the darkest nights. Hatters work as a tribe, because they believe the mission is bigger than themselves, simultaneously they work individually to expand their knowledge and grow the community. Hatters do not wait for opportunities, they create them. They come from all paths of life, yet their enthusiasm in designing the future of cybersecurity on Ethereum unites them.
