ConstitutionDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) founded by a group of web3 enthusiasts to purchase a copy of the United States Constitution from Sotheby’s Auction House. Founded in November 2021, the organization raised millions of dollars to purchase a rare copy of the US Constitution, of which there are only 13 physical original copies. However, the bid failed with $40 million in ETH raised, underwritten by billionaire Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel. After the auction, ConstitutionDAO announced that it was dissolving itself and donations would be returned.
