What is SquiggleDAO?

SquiggleDAO is elevating the Chromie Squiggle to its rightful place in culture as a beloved and seminal art project. We build community, awareness, and ownership around Squiggles because we are committed to cultivating a vibrant future for generative, on-chain art.

We began organically, with the community donating Squiggles to the DAO. This initiative took root three years ago, back in March 2021, when Squiggles were valued at around 0.3-0.5 ETH each. There was significant enthusiasm for supporting both the DAO and the Squiggle project, resulting in 231 donations. Remarkably, this DAO was the product of entirely grassroots efforts, with volunteers forming initial working groups and individuals contributing pieces without financial backing in ETH or USD.

In December 2021, we secured $8M in funding from prominent VCs such as Standard Crypto, True Ventures, The LAO, and various angel investors within the space. This injection of capital enabled the DAO to embark on numerous ambitious projects. In 2024, SquiggleDAO became the first DAO in history to donate an art piece to a museum, breaking the traditional art barrier.

Today, our Treasury boasts over 330 Squiggles, some of which were generously minted for us by Snowfro himself, including our prized Hyper Bold #9139.
