Iris Ecosystem
01
Patron Pass
Iris DAO raises funds through Patron Pass. These Patron Passes grant exclusive access to the Iris Ecosystem, uniting collectors and artists on a mission to champion diversity. Proceeds from Patron Passes will be used to enhance this digital art space, making it better for the artists.
02
DAO Treasury
Our treasury fund will be created from the proceeds of our membership pass sales. As a community, we will collectively determine how to utilize these funds to empower and uplift minority artists.
03
Iris DAO Portal
Our decision-making process takes place on our voting platform, Snapshot, with input from our membership pass holders. For example, we plan to select curators for our Art Acquisition initiative for the upcoming months through community votes.
04
Art Basket
The primary use of these funds is to acquire artworks. We’re launching the Art Basket initiative, where artists can submit their works for consideration. Our community will then decide which pieces to add to our wallet: irisdao.eth.
05
Iris DAO Vote
Only membership pass holders can vote. The victor of each Art Basket initiative will have the honor of their artwork being acquired and incorporated into our community wallet, enriching our collective portfolio. Additionally, random voters from the community will receive small cash airdrops or NFTs that we’ve acquired.
06
Art Drops
In addition to our governance DAO ecosystem, we aim to collaborate with talented underrepresented artists to release exclusive artworks for our membership pass holders. This creates new opportunities for collectors to acquire works from minority artists.

Iris Founder
The inspiration for creating this fund stems from the founder, Mark's past experiences. He started a business at the age of 13, facing criticism and hardship solely based on his age. Many doubted him, saying, "You can't do this at 13," or "It's impossible because you might make mistakes." They judged Mark solely based on his age, without acknowledging his skills.
However, Mark is not alone in experiencing such discrimination. Many individuals from minority groups face criticism based on age, gender, or other factors. Therefore, Mark initiated this project to prevent as many people as possible from undergoing similar experiences.
Mark has been conducting similar activities for about two years through Web3, supporting young people for projects aimed at overseas audiences. Last year, we've launched first NFT project, Teenage Innovators, to raise the fund and support the young artists.
