USE originally started as a meme token, but was salvaged by the community and relaunched to provide utility for a decentralized ranking platform. David Wyly was elected community leader, and founded Useless Crypto, LLC to help govern the global community-led project and manage multi-signature cryptoassets.
Over time, the project team grew to a global network of more than 60 volunteer staff and moderators.
The six directors of Useless Crypto, LLC are multi-signature safe keyholders, where 4/6 signatures are required to facilitate a transaction. Notably:
* David Wyly, 15 years in Software Engineering and Engineering Management.
* Lance Badger, 15 years in DevOps Engineering and Systems Architecture.
* Amir Arafat, 12 years in UI Engineering and Mobile App Architecture.
* Jackie Dutton, 6 years in Content Creation and Television.
* Joseph Andrews, 7 years in Software Engineering and Product Management.
* Stefan Alexandrov, 5 years in Macroeconomic Research and Finance.
