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 does the MXN/PEOPLE trading pair represent?
The MXN/PEOPLE pair allows for the direct exchange of Mexican Pesos (MXN) for PEOPLE, the ERC-20 token originally associated with ConstitutionDAO. This pair serves as a fiat on-ramp for users in Mexico to acquire this unique digital asset, which began as a governance token for a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) aiming to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution. It allows for a direct digital asset purchase without needing to convert MXN to USD or another major currency first. -
What are common payment methods for buying PEOPLE with Mexican Pesos (MXN)?
When using a cryptocurrency exchange that supports MXN, the most common and efficient method is a bank transfer via SPEI (Sistema de Pagos Electrónicos Interbancarios). Some platforms may also allow debit or credit card purchases, though these often have higher fees. For smaller amounts, certain local payment methods like OXXO Pay might be available on select fiat gateways, providing a cash-to-crypto option. Always verify the supported methods and associated fees on the specific exchange. -
What technical aspects of the PEOPLE token should I know before trading?
PEOPLE is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This means any on-chain transaction, like transferring it from an exchange to a private digital wallet, will require Ethereum (ETH) to pay for gas fees. Although it originated from a DAO, it currently functions more as a community-driven or 'meme' token without a formal development team or treasury, a result of the failed auction bid. Secure storage requires an Ethereum-compatible wallet where you control the private keys. -
Is KYC/AML compliance required to use the MXN fiat on-ramp for PEOPLE?
Yes, any centralized cryptocurrency exchange that offers a direct MXN fiat on-ramp is legally obligated to perform Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. This process involves verifying your identity using official documents, such as an INE card or passport, and proof of address. This is a standard security procedure to comply with financial regulations in Mexico and prevent illicit activities. -
How can I securely store my PEOPLE tokens after purchase?
For optimal security, you should transfer your PEOPLE tokens from the exchange to a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. Since PEOPLE is an ERC-20 token, any Ethereum-compatible wallet will work, including hardware wallets (like Ledger or Trezor) for maximum security, or software wallets (like MetaMask or Trust Wallet). Leaving assets on an exchange exposes you to platform-specific risks; self-custody ensures you have full control over your digital assets.
