How does it work

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

Vrb auction proceeds are split between the treasury and the artist behind each Vrb. Artists who have their art auctioned receive their split of proceeds in the form of Vrb Votes and ETH. The proportion of votes and ETH artists receive is configurable by Vrbs DAO.

Vrb Votes are a nontransferable token that tracks your contributions to Vrbs. Votes can be purchased at any time, by anyone. The price of votes is determined by a continuous VRGDA. On average, 1000 votes are sold every day.

All Vrb holders are members of Vrbs DAO. One Vrb is equal to 1,000 votes. The treasury is controlled exclusively by Vrb and Vrb Votes holders via governance.

How is Vrbs different from Nouns?

Ownership in Vrbs is accessible to everyone, and available at any price point.

There are two ways to get voting power in Vrbs:

The DAO is governed 50/50 by Vrb and Vrb Votes holders.

Vote sales are not exclusionary, but are accessible to all.

The Vrb daily auction puts up the top voted art piece as chosen by the community, and profits are split with the artist.

How is Vrbs similar to Nouns?

Vrbs is inspired by Nouns. One Vrb, every day, forever.

Many of the contracts are a fork of Nouns.

Like Nouns, Vrbs is a community-run organization that uses money raised by the community to fund open-source technology, art and public-works projects.

Vrbs committed at the protocol level to a targeted issuance of Vrb Votes every day through a VRGDA, and an auction of one Vrb every day, forever.

Vrbs is CC0. No one owns the brand, and you can use it any way you want, without asking for permission from anyone.
