How does it work

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

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

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

How is ATX DAO different from Nouns?

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

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

The DAO is governed 50/50 by ATX Noun and ATX DAO Votes holders.

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

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

How is ATX DAO similar to Nouns?

ATX DAO is inspired by Nouns. 1 ATX Noun, every day, forever.

Many of the contracts are a fork of Nouns.

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

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

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