The foundation says it formed a small group of advisors who will serve as allies and advocates for the meme crypto and provide key insights into particular strategic areas.
The advisory board has four members. Jared Birchall, who is representing Tesla CEO Elon Musk, will serve as the legal and financial advisor. Dogecoin core developer Max Keller will serve as technical advisor. Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus (Shibetoshi Nakamoto) will serve as community and memes advisor. Finally, Buterin will be the blockchain and crypto advisor.
