We didn't get the Constitution, but we made history nonetheless.
We broke records for the largest crowdfund for a physical object and most money crowdfunded in 72h, which will of course be refunded to everyone who participated.
To all our 17,437 contributors, THANK YOU ❤️
We showed the world what crypto and web3, onboarding thousands of people in the process, including museum curators and art directors who are now excited to keep learning.
We were the first DAO
@Sothebys
has ever worked with, but we're sure we won't be the last one.
🚨 We are officially bidding in the Sotheby's auction!!!
We are now transferring funds from the multisig to provide proof of funds for our participation and are coordinating with
@ftx_us
to provide this proof.
WAGBTC!!!!! Let's GOOOOOOOOOO
ok it is a little past midnight and we have now raised 40 MILLION DOLLARS to buy this constitution
today has been absolutely incredible, but its time for me to slep
see you all in the morning, we tweet at dawn [CHIRPBIRDICON]🌞
#wagbtc
TODAY IS THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY!
the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and we’re gonna buy the constitution in 11 hours
lets do this thing
#wagbtc
The interest we have garnered has been incredible...
But let us not forget, we must raise $20,000,000 to purchase The Constitution of the United States on 11/18/2021.
Let's build. (📜,📜).
Hey frens! 📜
Over the past few days we've shown the world what a group of internet friends can do with the powers of web3.
Raising +$47M, uniting 21k people on Discord and 42k on twitter in just 4 days. That's all thanks to you, and we couldn't be more grateful.
So, what now?
my sense of money is RUINED
im just sitting here like “yeah we only need 41,000 to get to 28M”
and then i remember that 41k could literally pay off my student loans
gm frens 👋
The past 10 days have been an incredible experience. We are so honored and appreciative to have shared it with all of you, our web3 community.
We know that everyone is eager to hear what’s next for ConstitutionDAO, and we’ve been deeply exploring many options.
The funding page is officially live through juicebox! Now is your chance to actually help buy the constitution!
If you don’t have the money / eth to donate, don’t worry, spreading the word is just as important
WAGBI!!
hi frens! seems like we onboarded a bunch of people into the crypto space, so it might be nice to give them a warm welcome / resources to get started soo
if youre new to crypto, say hi!!
and if youre a master blockchainoor, drop some resources that helped you get started :)
hello frens! i’m back with a lil announcement :)
last night the multisig executed a transaction to "burn" the juicebox project NFT by sending it to the unowned ethereum address 0x00...1787. this means the multisig is no longer the juicebox project owner.
Pretty cool that ~20% of the ~12,500 addresses that contributed to
@ConstitutionDAO
hadn’t done a prior ETH transaction.
ConstitutionDAO onboarded thousands of people into web3
On June 21st, 1788, the Constitution became the law of the land when it was ratified by the 9th of the 13 original states.
In keeping with this tradition, the Constitution DAO multi-sig wallet requires 9 out of 13 signatures to approve transactions.
sorry i was on a call… 27 MILLION DOLLARS!!?
absolutely incredible, thank you so much to everyone who has contributed money / memes / nights of sleep to make this happen
Hi frens! As mentioned before, we are winding down ConstitutionDAO. It was a beautiful experiment, but some things are meant to have an end.
We want to reiterate that you all have 2 options on what to do with juicebox:
damn why does no one ever dm us just to say hi or see how we’re doing
its always “let us promo your project” or “can devs do something” and never “do u need a hug”
Do we need to stop tweeting every million!?
WE HAVE NOW RAISED $25M
The slider on our website represents the new stretch goal. This goal will keep raising to make sure that we can definitely win the auction.
WAGBTC 📜👅📜
(📜,📜) Have you heard of
@ConstitutionDAO
? They’re trying to win an auction for a rare copy of the US Constitution.
If you want to join them, it’s not too late. Use
@CoinbaseWallet
to get started🧵
(This is not investment advice)
As a result, we're also officially closing contributions!
We're almost there, and we definitely couldn't have done it without everyone. Last stretch!!!! WAGBI 📜📜📜
Finally, let's not forget everything we've done over the past few days.
We onboarded thousands into crypto, and educated millions about DAOs.
We showed the entire world the amazing things crypto can enable, and built an incredible community.
YOU ALL MADE THIS HAPPEN 🔥
Hi everyone! We know you've been awaiting further news about the refund, and we're ready to go live with it now 😌
We plan to issue refunds through the same Juicebox mechanism by which donations were originally collected.
the Discord will be closed to public access in a few hours, marking the end of our little journey.
our work as a DAO is done, and we'll see you around the internet.
gn,
the core team ❤️📜
Our final note is that we hope that, after we’re gone, the past few weeks serve as a reminder of what’s possible - that a group chat of internet friends with memes and dreams can strive towards ambitious goals :)

-Core
For everyone who wants to continue riding with us, you'll also be able to sign a message (without paying for gas) committing your funds to the DAO's treasury and get our governance token $WTP (We The People) back.
Of course, you can also do nothing and see how things play out 😁
We hope this project will inspire others to build together and use the power of web3 to make a positive impact in the world.
We love you all, and are truly humbled to have been part of history together.
Love,
The ConstitutionDAO Team ❤️
um
literally no one on the
@ConstitutionDAO
core team was contacted by ken griffin before the auction, we had no idea he was even bidding (or who we were bidding against)
P.S. We’re gonna be quiet on here for a lil bit while the community processes this whole announcement. Feel free to keep tagging us / sending us cool stuff, but we won’t respond for probably a week or so. ❤️
FOUR. MILLION. DOLLARS!! 💰📜
thank you so much to everyone that’s contributed. your support and energy have been incredible ❤️
for those of you that haven’t contributed yet, what are you waiting for?
The official ukrainian donation page is down:
@endaomentdotorg
is a pretty large organization running a crowdfund for ukraine here, which at the moment seems to be the best option to contribute:
It's over.
@ConstitutionDAO
is your champion for the BEST experiment of 2021 🥳
Valiant effort from
@OlympusDAO
-- who held a narrow lead for most of the match until a final push from (📜,📜) gang
Long live PEOPLE
Hey frens! As you might save seen, there's another Constitution out there.
The core team from last year will not be attempting another fundraise or auction bid this year.
We’re not affiliated with any attempts, but we wish any group that tries the best of luck!
(📜, 📜)
You may be wondering why the goal changed!
We are now more than capable of placing a bid, but we want to remain competitive in this auction. To do this, we will continue raising and ensure that we can outbid our competition. Let's keep going and make sure that we can't lose.
There are 400 million people in the USA and
@ConstitutionDAO
just raised over $40M to buy the Constitution.
That means they could give every American $10M dollars. Think about that.
at this point, no one is able to manipulate the ConstitutionDAO juicebox project, the funds will remain available for refunds, and the $PEOPLE tokens will remain available for claiming.
This project was a landmark event.
We made history and showed the entire world that a group of internet friends can use the power of web3 to face a seemingly insurmountable goal and achieve incredible results on an impossible timeline 🙏
📜 American or not, there's a group ready to buy the U.S. Constitution at 630pm. The crazy part? It's a DAO that raised $40M this week to get it done.
Web 3 is more than crypto and NFTs. It's a new way of organizing people for a common goal.
Rooting for you
@ConstitutionDAO

FRENS WE HAVE MADE IT TO OVER 13 MILLION DOLLARS
also this is officially a passing grade on most exams just saying
how quickly can we get the next 4 percent?
contribute here if you can👇
So I’ve been tweeting every million, but we apparently received over FIVE MILLION in my sleep!!???
New total is over 11 million dollars!!
Wagbi (📜,📜)
One day left!!!
frens, we're now OVER 60% THERE, let's break 100% today 🔥
Growth has been absolutely insane, if we can keep this going there's no doubt we're gonna buy it.
Let's make history today? (📜, 📜)
Many community members have suggested that the multisig execute “renounceOwnership” of the Juicebox smart contract, thus burning the multisig’s access rights forever and we’ve decided to do this.
Just a reminder that while ConstitutionDAO's original core team celebrates new efforts and iterations, we ultimately decided to pass on participating in this auction.
We're cheering for those who've picked up the baton and wish them the best!
❤️, (📜,📜)
hey all, since we are no longer in control of the juicebox and the team has been dissolved, please send any questions about claiming tokens to
@juiceboxETH
we receive many tech support type dms every day and simply dont have time to answer them all

We've been hearing from all of you that you want the show to go on.
We'll soon be proposing a plan that outlines governance, vision, and values, for the community to review and comment on.
We've achieved incredible things over the past few days, and we're just getting started!
