DAO
believing
that
marketing
budgets
can
be
given
to
users
instead
of
advertising
giants. By
gaining
a
stake
in
the
project,
users
help
promote
it
through
the
most
effective
marketing
method
–
word
of
mouth.
We
are
honored
to
see
so
many
investors
and
backers
share
our
vision
and
be
eager
to
jump
on
board
to
help
us
build
a
true
MarketingFi
ecosystem.”

the
managing
partner
at

strong
believers
in
their
token
capturing
and

run-up
to

The

our
expectations,”

Ilan
Rakhmanov,
CEO
and
co-founder
of
ChainGPT
and
ChainGPT
Pad.
“We
are
looking
forward
to
the
$COOKIE
IDOs
and
its
listing,
but
even
more,
I
am
personally
excited
to
see
how
Web3
marketing
will
truly
become
the
collaborative
and
inclusive
MarketingFi
ecosystem
with
$COOKIE
paving
the
way.”

The
Cookie
Ecosystem:
$COOKIE,
Cookie
DAO,
and
Cookie3

The
$COOKIE
token
has
several
unique
utilities
within
the
Cookie
Ecosystem
–
an
ecosystem
independently
developed
by
both
(i)
Cookie3
Project
creators
and
(ii)
the
community
gathered
around
the
solution
–
Cookie
DAO.
In
addition
to
governance
and
staking
utilities,

$COOKIE
garners
several
unique
utilities
related
to
the
Cookie3
technology
and
platforms.
The
Cookie
Ecosystem
has
allowed
the
$COOKIE
token
to
issue
endless
airdrops
to
its
stakes
from
projects
using
the
Cookie3
platforms.
This
utility
stems
directly
from
the
agreement
between
the
Cookie
DAO
and
Cookie3,
which
allows
Cookie3
to
give
a
proportion
of
tokens
gathered
from
Cookie3
Airdrop
Shield,
Cookie3
Affiliate,
and
Cookie3
Score
to
the
Cookie
DAO,
which
then
airdrops
the
tokens
to
$COOKIE
stakers
who
express
interest
and
conduct
specific
activities
to
support in
these
projects.
Furthermore,
$COOKIE
will
become
a
native
in-platform
token
exchangeable
for
AI
data
credits
within
the
Cookie
Ecosystem,
which,
with
the
rising
need
for
AI
analytics
on
Web3
data,
coils
create
a
naturally
growing
demand
for
$COOKIE.

“We
are
honored
to
be
part
of
the
$COOKIE
listing
journey
and
excited
for
our
partnership
with
the
Cookie
DAO,”

said
Filip WielanierFilip Wielanier”>

Filip
Wielanier,
the
co-founder
and
CEO
of
Cookie3.
“With
$COOKIE,
the
Cookie3
ecosystem
becomes
complete,
letting
the
community
become
an
equal
part
of
MarketingFi.
I
am
excited
about
$COOKIE
and
the
Cookie
DAO
helping
us
realize
our
mission
of
redistributing
marketing
value
in
Web3
and
beyond
among
users,
businesses,
and
creators.”

The
$COOKIE
listing
on
June
13th
will
be
the
first
opportunity
for
the
general
public
to
purchase
$COOKIE
and
receive
exclusive
access
to
governance,
staking,
and
endless
airdrops
from
within
the
Cookie
Ecosystem.
Apart
from
centralized
exchanges,
users
will
be
able
to
buy
$COOKIE
directly
from
DEXs
embedded
in
the

cookie.community
platform,
which
will
also
feature
the
$COOKIE
staking
portal.
