As of this week, you can now lease your EOS (EOS) tokens to dapp developers on the EOS network via the EOS Resource Exchange (REX)! I've been leasing my tokens for a few days now... and it's kinda like renting a condo to a tenant, but without the taxes, maintenance, and hassle... so definitely check it out! 💸 😍
