A newly formed decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) called AssangeDAO is raising funds to bid on an NFT artwork made by digital artist PAK in an effort to help WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange get free. Pak, whose previous NFT project Merge sold for a combined $91.8 million in December 2020 announced his new project last week. The latest NFT series called ‘Censored’ is set to launch on February 7, which is also Assange’s court date. The collection will include a 1/1 NFT as well as an open edition. Julian Assange has been accused on 18 counts relating to WikiLeaks’ release of classified government documents. He’s currently serving time in prison in the U.K., where he is fighting extradition where if he was found guilty of all charges, Assange faces up to 175 years in prison. In 2011, WikiLeaks became one of the first organizations to accept donations in Bitcoin. Censored is a collaboration with Julian Assange.It’s about you. It consists of two parts, a dynamic 1/1 and a dynamic open edition, for you all to participate. It will be here on February 7th. https://t.co/QvKlk3oIs8 — Pak (@muratpak) January 30, 2022 Proceeds Will Go Towards Assange’s Legal Fees Claiming to be fully community-led, AssangeDAO is accepting contributions in Ethereum via Juicebox funding platform and so far already collected a total volume of 2,675 ETH worth $7.8 million since the project was created on the platform this week. In return, donors will receive the AssangeDAO JUSTICE governance token which will allow them to vote on governance proposals. If the DAO wins the NFT auction, the community will decide via governance what to do with the NFT and the future roadmap of the DAO. If it loses, the ETH held in the Gnosis Safe will be redeemable for $JUSTICE tokens, allowing the DAO to live on regardless of the auction’s outcome and for people to exit the DAO with contributions they made for the NFT.
