What is ConstitutionDAO PEOPLE?
PEOPLE is the token that the DAO ConstitutionDAO created to raise funds from its investors and members, in order to finance the purchase of a manuscript of the United States Constitution. ConstitutionDAO offered several million PEOPLE tokens to some 17,500 investors who are members of this organization. PEOPLE tokens could initially be acquired through exchange or swap for ETH, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain. Each ETH could be redeemed for 1,000,000 PEOPLE via the DAO contract on Juicebox.

ConstitutionDAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization that emerged with the purpose of bidding for the first edition of the US Constitution. The manuscript was auctioned at Sotheby’s in November last year. Although the DAO did not achieve its goal, in less than 72 hours it managed to raise almost $47 million from its investors and participants. ConstitutionDAO lost the auction to Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel, over high gas fees from the Ethereum network. What started a plan to return the funds raised.
PEOPLE and Ethereum fees
The creators of ConstitutionDAO informed their investors that they could claim their funds and investments back by exchanging the PEOPLE token for ETH, just as they contributed to the initial crowdfunding of the project. However, Ethereum’s high gas fees prevented several investors from claiming their ethers back, as their funds would virtually be lost to network fees.
Cases of use of blockchain technology in the field of Law
ConstitutionDAO explained that although the DAO’s decision was to refund investors the money deposited, they would offer several options for those who could not afford the high gas costs. Thus, investors could keep their tokens in the DAO, remembering that PEOPLE tokens do not grant any kind of rights to their holders. It is not a governance or utility token, the DAO explained. It also announced the possibility of exchanging PEOPLE tokens for its future governance token called “We The People” (WTP). It is precisely this news that is apparently behind the exponential growth of the PEOPLE token. According to analysts, investors are buying PEOPLE on the secondary markets to exchange them for WTP.
For everyone who wants to continue riding with us, you’ll also be able to sign a message (without paying for gas) committing your funds to the DAO’s treasury and get our governance token $WTP (We The People) back.
Of course, you can also do nothing and see how things play out 😁
