🛌 **FEI Proposes to Get in BED with Bankless:** The FEI protocol put forward a proposal this week to invest $2M into the BED Index, as well as creating a $4M BED-FEI pool on SushiSwap. 🌊 The main purpose for purchasing BED is to increase on-chain FEI liquidity and utility, helping to drive FEI adoption. There is also potential for a joint BanklessDAO, Index Coop and Fei deployment on Polygon, which could generate SUSHI rewards and potentially other opportunities.

👚 "Ultra Sound Summer Set" Shatters Sales Record: Last weeks MetaFactory sales were over $54k sales and set a new record for all of MetaFactory's merch sales. The bDAO will earn about 675 ROBOT in rewards based on a percentage of the sales.

🏦 Donation of 5.89 ETH to Coin Center: The "Ultra Sound Bat" has broken all of our NFT Showcase records with total sales topping 23.5 ETH. This was a collaboration between Ultra Sound money, Bankless DAO and the artist Rodrigo Salcedo. 25% of the sales were donated to Coin Center, helping to fight for crypto friendly regulation in the US.

🔥 **Mask.io + BanklessDAO:** Alpha leak, this will be announced next Monday, and runs next Tuesday, August 17-26. In short, this collaboration with Mask.io is called the "Social DeFi" Alliance and will involve some action steps by participants to earn prizes. This premiere high-visibility partnership will be focused on getting DeFi directly onto the major social networks and could be the most critical step towards large-scale user adoption of DeFi and Web 3.0 applications.

🏆 Bankless DAO ranked #5 in sales on Rarible: This past month, the weekly NFT auctions generated over $100,000 USD in revenue, much of which goes to the treasury! A huge thanks to Kouros, Crypto Bushi, and Satoshi's Mom for their incredible work promoting bankless culture.
