The arena is open.

We’re excited to launch Shutter Champions, a new ecosystem growth program funded by Shutter DAO 0x36. It’s designed to support people contributing to the Shutter ecosystem - researchers, builders, dApp developers, and creators - with funding, support, and marketing.

Shutter Champions is powered by [Shutter DAO 0x36](https://blog.shutter.network/r/21362253?m=e23d0b3d-3e33-4fb6-9350-f57f3e388fa5) and [Octant v2](https://blog.shutter.network/r/c84b9271?m=e23d0b3d-3e33-4fb6-9350-f57f3e388fa5). In mid March 2026, [Shutter DAO 0x36 deposited 1.2M USDC into an Octant v2](https://blog.shutter.network/r/97e9f949?m=e23d0b3d-3e33-4fb6-9350-f57f3e388fa5) ERC-4626 audited vault configured with Morpho’s “Steakhouse” USDC yield strategy. The yield generates approximately $5,000 worth of SHU per month, which will be distributed to Shutter Champions in a series of rounds called “Melees”.
