How does it work

Our community raises money through the sale of TKN8TS 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 TKN8TS, and the community votes on their favorite art piece. token8.life artwork is original work and stored directly onchain (not IPFS). Every day, the community chooses the next TKN8T to send to auction.

TKN8T auction proceeds are split between the treasury and the artist behind each TKN8T. Artists who have their art auctioned receive their split of proceeds in the form of Token8 and ETH. The proportion of votes and ETH artists receive is configurable by token8.life DAO.

Token8 are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to token8.life. 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 TKN8T holders are members of token8.life DAO. One TKN8T is equal to 1,000 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by TKN8T and Token8 holders via governance.
