This is the first iteration of our ideas for the Particle DAO. This is still a work in progress. We want to hear from you, and have you be part of forming the final structure of what will become the Particle DAO.
Mission
The ParticleDAO will exist to help build a great people-governed fine art collection. The formal Mission is “to enable the Particle Foundation to buy, share, safekeep and govern humanity’s great works of art.”

The focus of the DAO will be to support The Particle Foundation, a non-profit 501c3 organization. More detail will be forthcoming about how the DAO and the Foundation will interact and the responsibilities of each.
The Premise
We are kickstarting the community with existing Particle owners as the foundation of a new governance mechanism. Nothing is set in stone, and we will be evolving the structure with existing Particle owners over the coming months. In general, we are operating along the following structure:
Particles = Access
DAO Tokens = Governance
Any existing Particle owner will be part of creating a new governance mechanism, and will receive DAO tokens. So as a starting point Particles themselves are a part of the initial governance mechanisms of the DAO. This serves two purposes. It allows us to bootstrap our existing community and leverage the investment they have already made and creates a buy pressure on the NFT’s as possession of them will provide special access and services as well as decision-making in the DAO.

The DAO will have 5 main components:
