The Dev Protocol is a way for creators who run projects such as OSS and Open Access to earn income opportunities and achieve sustainability. The Dev Protocol aims to create a world where innovators can take on challenges and solve problems that might not be financially viable but offer value. Creators who create technically socially valuable projects that might not be economically viable are now able to find an alternative way for funding.

The easiest way to buy DEV tokens is to get Ethereum in a wallet and swap it for DEV on Uniswap V2

The DEV Token is the utility token that allows the Dev Protocol ecosystem to exist, through it Creators and Patrons are rewarded.

The DEV Tokens can be used to stake (fund) for an OSS Project, provide liquidity or used as a currency.

We don't believe DEV tokens are considered securities for multiple reasons. First even if creators don't hold any DEV, they can receive DEV as their reward in compensation for their activities. While there is a staking reward built in to incentivize interaction. Users that stake on creators are doing so to signal their importance rather than an expectation of a reward. The DEV token in our eyes is strictly a utility token used to aid the ecosystem.
