Although 'GAS' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the Gas DAO token's smart contract, it is in use by another asset that has a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. Due to this association and to avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'GASDAO' has been adopted for this token. This designation is specifically used to ensure that assets are distinctly identified.

Gas DAO’s purpose is to be the heartbeat and voice of the Ethereum network’s active users through on and off-chain governance launched as a decentralized autonomous organization with a free and fair initial distribution.

GAS is the ERC-20 governance token for the GAS DAO. Holders with 1B ΞGAS will be able to submit proposals.

The official Gas DAO ticker is “GAS” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “GASDAO” is for CryptoCompare.com only.
