+Meeds is a cooperative effort led by diverse communities envisioning a decentralized digital world that resists centralized control and promotes freedom and fairness.
 
-Utilizing the Ethereum ecosystem, we implement the WoM protocols and oversee the supply of the MEED token. This strategy has enabled us to prioritize security, accessibility, usability, and cost-effectiveness, rendering it appealing to a diverse user demographic. Nevertheless, we designed the WoM as an autonomous and self-sufficient public good with aspirations to expand across multiple chains.
+Leveraging the Ethereum ecosystem, we implement the WoM protocols and oversee the supply of the MEED token. This strategy has enabled us to prioritize safety, accessibility, and user-friendliness and ensure profitability for as many people as possible. We are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our users in the safety and profitability of our protocols.
 
-The legal entity behind Meeds is the _Meeds Association_, a non-profit organization registered under Swiss law in Geneva. It is responsible for regulating the issuance of MEED tokens and contracting with service providers.

-The Meeds Association intends to progressively hand over control of the Meeds protocol and treasuries to the _Meeds DAO_. This decentralized autonomous organization represents the decentralized governance arm of the ecosystem, empowering the community to participate in decision-making, proposal voting, and protocol upgrades.
