🌐 DAOs
ConstitutionDAO announced the project ran its course and accomplished what it tried to do: buying the U.S. Constitution. “We have determined that building and maintaining an ongoing project is not something that we as a core team are able to support, given the technical and administrative requirements of doing it properly,” said the team on Discord. They did make $PEOPLE tokens claimable depending on how much you contributed to the raise. $PEOPLE token is seeing all-time highs and trading around $0.11 at the time of writing. 👉 Read More
