ConstitutionDAO (PEOPLE) was a unique crypto project that leveraged the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) concept to crowdfund community contributions to bid for an original copy of the US Constitution. The single-purpose DAO was formed in November 2021 and went on to raise $47 million from its community to bid for the United States Constitution at a Sotheby’s auction.
However, the DAO went defunct after it lost its bid and was unable to secure the artifact. PEOPLE is the native token of the ConstitutionDAO and serves as the governance token of the decentralized community.
PEOPLE token holders were given voting rights within the ConstitutionDAO. It was devised to allow the DAO community members to vote on where the constitution would be placed had the DAO won the auction.
Even though the DAO turned defunct after losing the auction and wound down its operations, the PEOPLE token went on to become a trending meme coin in the market. The token is still among the actively traded assets in the crypto market, experiencing considerable price action even in the absence of fundamentals.
