Make the web smile with Characters

  • Every day, the community picks their favorite Character to auction. Each Character is worth 1,000 votes.
  • Anyone can create the next Character. The artist earns a 50% cut of the auction proceeds in the form of ETH and BOP.
  • Artists have earned 0.081 ETH and 102.4k votes so far.

BOP

Earn bops for building or spending inside the Characters ecosystem.

What are BOP?

Bops track your contributions to Characters. Vote on proposals, grants, art and more. You can buy bops or earn them building. Your bops let you shape the future of Characters.

Earn BOP

Build on our brand, it's CC0. Sell goods and services, split revenue with our treasury, and earn bops for yourself and your supporters in the process.

Treasury and grants

Proceeds from all bops sales are split with our treasury and grants program. Using quadratic voting, our most impactful public goods initiatives are funded.

WTF is Characters

Characters is a global, community-run organization that uses money raised by the community to fund open-source technology, art and public-works projects. Characters positively impacts the world by funding ideas and fostering permissionless collaboration.

Ownership in Characters is accessible to anyone. Characters rewards creators, builders, and community participants with money and voting power, and the community builds out the Characters vision, together.

Anyone can earn a living and decision making power in Characters for their efforts.

How can I help?

There's a way for everyone to get involved with Characters. Whether you're an artist, athlete, scientist, professional, academic, engineer, organizer, designer, content creator, educator, worker etc, Characters funds people and projects of all sizes and domains.

If you're excited about Characters, there's a place for you.

How does it work

Our community raises money through the sale of Characters and votes. The money raised is held in our community treasury, and we collectively decide how to spend it to further our mission.

Artists create Characters, and the community votes on their favorite art piece. Characters artwork is original work and stored directly onchain (not IPFS). Every day, the community chooses the next Character to send to auction.

Character auction proceeds are split between the treasury and the artist behind each Character. Artists who have their art auctioned receive their split of proceeds in the form of BOP and ETH. The proportion of votes and ETH artists receive is configurable by Characters DAO.

BOP are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to Characters. Votes can be purchased at any time, by anyone. The price of votes is determined by a continuous VRGDA. On average, 1000 votes are sold every day.

All Character holders are members of Characters DAO. One Character is equal to 1,000 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by Character and BOP holders via governance.

How is Characters different from Nouns?

Ownership in Characters is accessible to everyone, and available at any price point.

There are two ways to get voting power in Characters:

The DAO is governed 50/50 by Character and BOP holders.

Vote sales are not exclusionary, but are accessible to all.

The Character daily auction puts up the top voted art piece as chosen by the community, and profits are split with the artist.

How is Characters similar to Nouns?

Characters is inspired by Nouns. 2 Characters, every day, forever.

Many of the contracts are a fork of Nouns.

Like Nouns, Characters is a community-run organization that uses money raised by the community to fund open-source technology, art and public-works projects.

Characters committed at the protocol level to a targeted issuance of BOP every day through a VRGDA, and an auction of 2 Characters every day, forever.

Characters is CC0. No one owns the brand, and you can use it any way you want, without asking for permission from anyone.

last but not least,
⌐◨-◨

Why does it matter?

Characters is important because it incentivizes anyone to help build a positive future for everyone. Instead of working for a corporation with a sole pursuit of profit, you can spend your time and energy growing community-led impact in the world that benefits the public.

Characters empowers you to spend your time building for a better future.

What is our purpose?

Characters is a collection of emoticons, and it's all about going the extra mile to be silly, playful and expressive in online social interactions.
