FingerprintsDAO (PRINTS)
Key data
updated $0FingerprintsDAO (PRINTS) is a decentralized autonomous organization built around a single idea: collecting and curating generative art that lives on the blockchain. Its token, PRINTS, acts as a membership and governance pass — holders vote on which artworks the DAO acquires, how the collection is exhibited, and how the treasury is spent. In plain terms, it's a community-run art fund where the big decisions are made on-chain by the people holding the token.
Frequently asked questions
What is FingerprintsDAO, and how is it different from other crypto projects?
Most crypto projects revolve around payments or DeFi mechanics; FingerprintsDAO revolves around art. The DAO pools a community treasury to collect generative and on-chain art — algorithmic pieces stored directly on the blockchain — including works by some of the best-known names in the NFT space. Instead of a currency, PRINTS functions as a stake in this collectively owned collection.
How does FingerprintsDAO work technically?
FingerprintsDAO doesn't run its own blockchain — PRINTS is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, secured by Ethereum's proof-of-stake consensus. The DAO itself lives in smart contracts: token holders submit proposals, vote on art acquisitions, exhibitions, and treasury spending, and passed decisions are executed on-chain. It's governance by code rather than by a management team.
How is the PRINTS token supply issued?
PRINTS isn't mined or staked into existence — the supply was minted at launch and distributed to early DAO members and the community treasury. There's no block-reward style emission schedule, so the total supply is fixed rather than inflationary. It's a governance asset, not something you earn by validating transactions.
How do I store and use PRINTS?
Since PRINTS is an ERC-20 token, any Ethereum-compatible wallet works — MetaMask or Rabby for everyday use, or a hardware wallet like Ledger for long-term storage. Beyond holding it, the main use is participating in the DAO's proposals and votes through its governance interface. As with any token, verify the official contract address before receiving, because fake copies of known tickers are common.
