The people behind every stamp
A 도장 is a personal seal, and in Korea you only stamp what you are willing to put your name to. On GADAPAD, a curator would be a real person from GIWA Foundation or a partner fund who reads the contracts, runs the product on testnet, and calls the team's own backers before deciding a launch is worth their name.
The profiles below are illustrative, showing how the role would work. They are not real individuals or confirmed partners of GADAPAD.
This is a minimum bar, not an endorsement. Curators do not conduct financial due diligence, do not offer investment advice, and do not guarantee returns. Every review is attached to the curator's own verified identity, so an approval or a rejection is never anonymous.
