WTF is DurianDAO

How does it work

Our community raises money through the sale of Durians 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 Durians, and the community votes on their favorite art piece. DurianDAO artwork is original work and stored directly onchain (not IPFS). Every day, the community chooses the next Durian to send to auction.

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

Pungency are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to DurianDAO. 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 Durian holders are members of DurianDAO. One Durian is equal to 1,000 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by Durian and Pungency holders via governance.

How is DurianDAO different from Nouns?

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

There are two ways to get voting power in DurianDAO:

Win the Durian auction
Buy or earn any fraction of Pungency directly

The DAO is governed 50/50 by Durian and Pungency holders.

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

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

How is DurianDAO similar to Nouns?

DurianDAO is inspired by Nouns. 1 Durian, every day, forever.

Many of the contracts are a fork of Nouns.

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

DurianDAO committed at the protocol level to a targeted issuance of Pungency every day through a VRGDA, and an auction of 1 Durian every day, forever.

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