About
ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE)
ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE) represents a landmark social experiment in the history of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Its primary purpose was to collectively raise capital using blockchain technology to purchase a rare, original copy of the U.S. Constitution at a Sotheby's auction. This initiative demonstrated the power of Web3 infrastructure for rapid, large-scale decentralized fundraising, amassing over $40 million in Ethereum in less than a week. The project operated on the Ethereum network, utilizing the Juicebox protocol for its crowdfunding smart contracts, which ensured transparency and automated treasury management.
The native digital asset, PEOPLE, was issued to contributors and functioned as a governance token, granting holders voting rights on the DAO's future decisions, such as storage and exhibition of the artifact if the bid were successful. Although the DAO was ultimately outbid, the PEOPLE token's story evolved. After the treasury was opened for refunds, the token became a symbol of community power and the potential of collective action in the digital age. It persists as a memetic token, embodying one of the most significant moments in DAO history and showcasing the on-chain coordination capabilities of a decentralized network.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the GBP/PEOPLE pair and what does it represent?
The GBP/PEOPLE pair represents the exchange rate between the British Pound (GBP) and the ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE) token. When you trade this pair, you are using Pound Sterling to buy or sell PEOPLE, an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. The PEOPLE token originated from a notable Web3 crowdfunding event organized by ConstitutionDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) formed to bid on a copy of the U.S. Constitution. -
What are the common methods for UK customers to purchase PEOPLE with GBP?
For UK customers, the most common fiat on-ramp to purchase PEOPLE tokens involves using a cryptocurrency exchange that supports GBP deposits. Typically, this is done via a UK bank transfer using the Faster Payments Service (FPS), which is often fast and low-cost. Alternatively, many platforms allow debit or credit card purchases in GBP, though this may incur higher fees. Always use a reputable exchange that complies with FCA regulations and has good liquidity in the GBP/PEOPLE order book. -
What is the technical significance of the PEOPLE token today?
Technically, the PEOPLE token has no intrinsic utility or governance rights over any assets, as the original DAO failed its bid. Its significance is now primarily social and historical within the Web3 space. It functions as a standard ERC-20 token on Ethereum, a memento of a major Web3 crowdfunding experiment. Its value is driven by community sentiment and its status as a widely recognized meme coin, rather than any underlying protocol or function. -
What kind of crypto wallet do I need to store PEOPLE tokens securely?
Since PEOPLE is an ERC-20 token, you need a digital wallet that is compatible with the Ethereum blockchain. Popular choices include browser-based wallets like MetaMask, mobile wallets such as Trust Wallet, or for maximum security, hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor. After purchasing on an exchange, it is a security best practice to transfer your digital assets to a personal wallet where you control the private keys. -
What fees should I expect when trading the GBP/PEOPLE market pair?
Trading GBP/PEOPLE typically involves several potential fees. First, there may be a deposit fee for funding your account with GBP, especially for card payments. Second, the cryptocurrency exchange will charge a trading fee, often a percentage of the transaction value, which can differ for market makers and takers. Finally, when you withdraw your PEOPLE tokens to a personal crypto wallet, you will incur a withdrawal fee from the exchange plus the Ethereum network's transaction fee, known as 'gas', which fluctuates based on network congestion.
