Angel Protocol

Give once, give forever.

What is Angel Protocol?

Angel Protocol is the world's first Decentralized Autonomous Non-Profit Organization (DANO) that aims to disrupt the charity model.

What's wrong with the way charity is being done you ask?

There's nothing wrong with charity per se, but being a nonprofit means that there is an inherent reliance on a constant stream of donations to survive.

As it is, 30% of nonprofits in the US face liquidity issues and 50% have less than one month of operating reserves.¹

---

What is Angel Protocol doing to solve this?

Angel Protocol provides a decentralized donation platform that conveniently connects donors to partnered charities.

They’ve constructed a perpetual endowment framework that taps into DeFi products like Anchor & ApolloDAO.

This provides nonprofits with a constant stream of income, without needing to even touch the principal amount in their endowment!

"Give once, give forever"

How does this work?

Angel Protocol’s litepaper explains it best:

Donors can also qualify for tax relief via the tax receipts they get from charities if they opt in to a light KYC.

Governance

Without going into too much detail, there's two levels of governance.

1. Charity Level Governance

2. Protocol Level Governance

1. Charity Level Governance

Charity Supporters stake $HALO with their chosen charity in return for Charity Shares, allowing them to oversee charity-level governance.

For example, the Charity DAO can vote on proposals like emergency unlocking of funds, transfer of beneficiary, dissolution, etc

2. Protocol Level Governance

$HALO stakers are also responsible for overall governance of the Angel DANO

$HALO stakers vote on proposals like treasury spending, development, committee appointments, etc

In order to incentivize $HALO holders, yield from each charity's endowment is distributed back to both the stakeholders and the charity.

You can get $HALO from:

- https://dex.loop.markets/swap#Swap

- https://coinhall.org/charts/terra/terra1yjg0tuhc6kzwz9jl8yqgxnf2ctwlfumnvscupp

At time of writing, DO NOT get $HALO from Terraswap, as the liquidity is on Loop.

Terraswap and Astroport pools will come in the future!

Note that $HALO was launched using the LBP method, this this evident from their price chart.

Hope you learnt more about Angel Protocol and are now inspired to "win and help win"!
