Fund the Community and Tech Pods with Sendit

Introduction

Gnars was recently gifted a significant amount of $Sendit (↗︎) tokens (Thanks Gami and Benbodhi!). The Gnars treasury holds 777,777,777.77↗ (7% of the total supply 🤑) with a current valuation of around $180,000 USD at the time of submitting this proposal. These funds aren't doing any good just sitting in the treasury, so this proposal meant to kickoff for putting these funds to work for Gnars!
