How does it work

Our community raises money through the sale of Gnars 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 Gnars, and the community votes on their favorite art piece. That's Gnarly artwork is original work and stored directly onchain (not IPFS). Every day, the community chooses the next Gnars to send to auction.

Gnars auction proceeds are split between the treasury and the artist behind each Gnars. Artists who have their art auctioned receive their split of proceeds in the form of votes and ETH. The proportion of votes and ETH artists receive is configurable by That's Gnarly DAO.

votes are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to That's Gnarly. Votes can be purchased at any time, by anyone. The price of votes is determined by a continuous VRGDA. On average, 0 votes are sold every day.

All Gnars holders are members of That's Gnarly DAO. One Gnars is equal to 0 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by Gnars and votes holders via governance.
