What is ConstitutionDAO?
ConstitutionDAO, an experimental initiative, has now concluded its operations. Back in November 2021, a community of web3 enthusiasts came together as a decentralized autonomous organization, aiming to collectively purchase a copy of the U.S. Constitution from a Sotheby's Auction. With only 13 original physical copies of the U.S. Constitution in existence, the auction ignited an intense competitive bidding war.
Despite successfully raising over $40 million in ETH, the group ultimately fell short in securing the constitution as they were outbid by Ken Griffin, a billionaire hedge fund manager and the CEO of Citadel.
In light of its unsuccessful grassroots endeavor to acquire one of the most cherished and historic documents in U.S. history, Constitution DAO has officially declared its disbandment. All contributions made are currently in the process of being refunded.
