# What is DOSA?

<figure><img src="/files/Pv5ILSHJanyCiYH8X68w" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Dosa, a Korean Mastiff breed, is dignified, easy going, good natured, intelligent and loyal. The gentle giant enjoys being with others. It tends to ‘lean’ on its favorite people, like a huge lapdog.

We chose the Dosa dog as our protocol’s mascot because of these characteristics. They represent the core values of the project, collaboration and support. We say that Dosa “democratizes green candles” because it enables communities of other projects to get attention and transaction volume on the projects they feel most passionate about.
