There’s a DAO Trying To Buy The US Constitution…Again!

DAOS - or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations - can be formed for a whole range of reasons. From investment, to charity, fundraising, borrowing, and NFT buying, members of a DAO can come together for any reason and decide how to spend the funds.

They can even buy the US constitution. Really.

ConstitutionDAO, a DAO whose main goal is to buy the US Constitution, is attempting yet again to buy the civic artifact. in November of 2022, Sotheby’s announced that they will auction the only remaining original privately owned printing of the Constitution.

This is not the first time the DAO has attempted to buy the Constitution. The movement was first created in November of 2021, and gathered over 17 thousand people from around the world, raking in $40M for the auction. However, they were just pipped to the post at the last minute by billionaire and Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin, who paid $43.2M.

That's billionaires for ya.

This time, ConstitutionDAO is going in all guns blazing. The DAO stated that the communities they inspired have been hard at work for a whole year, developing privacy technology and experimenting with DAOs.

Also, last year’s bidders knew the amount of funds ConstitutionDAO was going to bid due to Ethereum’s transparency. In this second attempt, contributors have two options: make a private contribution or a public contribution.

So, now they can choose to mask the total amount of funds from other bidders (and billionaires).

Scientifically Accurate Jellyfish NFTs With Aquarium de Paris

Ah, aquariums. Exciting underwater wonderlands that turn any adult into a child again. Now, the oldest aquarium in the WORLD is propelling into the future with a Jellyfish NFT collection.

The Aquarium de Paris have teamed up with metaverse Metaseum to launch a special Jellyfish NFT collection. This significant move is made all the more exciting by the fact that the entire collection is scientifically accurate!

The collection of 1,234 NFTs, displayed on the Metaseum website, has had each of the NFTs verified by a team of marine biologists. This includes verified Latin names, morphologies, tentacles, scientific families, danger index, geographical locations and ages for the Jellyfish in the collection. The first collection in history to use metadata to categorize scientific traits as NFTs!

Not only are they smart, but they also look good. Each NFT is a 1:1 replication of real Jellyfish swimming in the Aquarium.

This is the closest I will get to owning a pet Jellyfish!

So, scientifically accurate Jellyfish NFTs based on IRL Jellyfish - can it get any better? YES, IT CAN. Jellyfish NFT holders also receive exclusive perks such as unlimited and free access to the Aquarium and in-store discounts.

Collectors can also unlock invitations to VIP events like meetings with biologists, guided tours of the tanks, etc, and earn access and invitation to the arrival of the polyps of the purchased species, and to the establishment’s night club.

The collection of 1,234 Jellyfish based NFTs will launch on December 16th, 10:30PM Paris time. I know what I am requesting for Christmas - an Aquarium de Paris collection NFT, and a ticket to Paris.

Let's hope Santa pulls through with the goods.
