How does it work

Our community raises money through the sale of DFWS and votes. The money raised is held in our community treasury, and we collectively decide how to spend it to further our mission.

Artists create DFWS, and the community votes on their favorite art piece. DFW DAO artwork is original work and stored directly onchain (not IPFS). Every day, the community chooses the next DFW to send to auction.

DFW auction proceeds are split between the treasury and the artist behind each DFW. Artists who have their art auctioned receive their split of proceeds in the form of DFW Votes and ETH. The proportion of votes and ETH artists receive is configurable by DFW DAO.

DFW Votes are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to DFW DAO. Votes can be purchased at any time, by anyone. The price of votes is determined by a continuous VRGDA. On average, 1000 votes are sold every day.

All DFW holders are members of DFW DAO. One DFW is equal to 1,000 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by DFW and DFW Votes holders via governance.

How is DFW DAO different from Nouns?

Ownership in DFW DAO is accessible to everyone, and available at any price point.

There are two ways to get voting power in DFW DAO:

The DAO is governed 50/50 by DFW and DFW Votes holders.

Vote sales are not exclusionary, but are accessible to all.

The DFW daily auction puts up the top voted art piece as chosen by the community, and profits are split with the artist.

How is DFW DAO similar to Nouns?

DFW DAO is inspired by Nouns. 1 DFW, every day, forever.

Many of the contracts are a fork of Nouns.

Like Nouns, DFW DAO is a community-run organization that uses money raised by the community to fund open-source technology, art and public-works projects.

DFW DAO committed at the protocol level to a targeted issuance of DFW Votes every day through a VRGDA, and an auction of 1 DFW every day, forever.

DFW DAO is CC0. No one owns the brand, and you can use it any way you want, without asking for permission from anyone.

last but not least,
⌐◨-◨

Why does it matter?

DFW DAO is important because it incentivizes anyone to help build a positive future for everyone. Instead of working for a corporation with a sole pursuit of profit, you can spend your time and energy growing community-led impact in the world that benefits the public.

DFW DAO empowers you to spend your time building for a better future.
