Yet despite their potential DAOs remain limited…

No legal standing & no legal protection
Inability to comply with AML & CFT regulations as a decentralized environment
DAOs can’t pay service providers in fiat without centralizing everything on one person
Service providers haven’t adopted crypto payments yet
Unlimited personal liabilities for developers and community members
Investor's assets at risk

UnRekt is an initiative that aims to clean up the dead coin market and help Rekt investors recover their losses.

Rekt investors would be able to exchange their dead assets (crypto, NFTs) for the WACEO token.
The accumulated reserves of the WACEO Token would be used to fund community efforts and litigation actions against the scammers.
Recovered funds would be distributed back to the community.
