We exist to elevate independent artists,
self-taught bedroom creators,
and world-class icons alike.

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a new way for people to make decisions collectively without a central governing body. DAOs leverage blockchain technology to enable trustless cooperation between members.

Des Beaux Yeux - French for Beautiful Eyes. We think that art can help people see the world better. DBY exist to make art proliferate so anyone can see the world with Des Beaux Yeux. Amazing artists are continually overshadowed by large projects and can benefit from a fair platform that they can govern collectively to create bigger waves and better leverage as a large and united entity of sovereign individuals. The art & media industry is overly segmented, bogged down with recycled content which can be overcome by removing barriers to entry, and giving more power over what’s produced to those with creative talent and their fanbase.

Governance is an ownable right to vote on direct policy or action within a DAO, co-op, or any community ecosystem. DBY combines art with non-fungible governance tokens, so each token is a digital collectible from an amazing artist as well as a membership pass with voting power.

The Club Pass drop is an opportunity to get free membership and collectible governance in the DBY Club DAO. It involves a novel mint and invite mechanic that rewards those who start and nurture the longest invite chains. Over 25 artists have created unique works of art inspired by DBY, to be featured on the Collectible Governance tokens in large editions.

To create an Ethereum wallet, you can use browser extensions like MetaMask or Rainbow Walllet. Follow the instructions provided by the chosen platform to set up your wallet securely. https://learn.rainbow.me/ has a comprehensive learning system for getting started with the blockchain?

Network fees, or "gas fees," are payments made to Ethereum miners for processing and validating transactions on the blockchain. These fees can vary depending on network congestion and transaction complexity. They are paid in Ether or ETH, the native currency of the Ethereum network.

When you initiate a transaction through your Ethereum wallet, you will be prompted to sign it using your private key. Most wallets handle this process automatically, requiring only your approval.

Some best practices for managing your Ethereum wallet include:

1. Never share your private key or seed phrase with anyone.

2. Use a strong, unique password for your wallet.

3. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if available.

4. Regularly update your wallet software.

5. Consider using a hardware wallet for added security.

Here are some tips for blockchain security from MetaMask:

1. Never share your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase (SRP) or private keys

2. Beware of impersonators? Make sure to verify it is an official account!

3. Never DM with someone offering to help.

4. Never enter your secret recovery phrase or private keys into any website.

5. Never trust someone asking you to “authenticate your wallet.” MetaMask will never email you or ask you to verify your wallet.

6. Never import a private key or a seed phrase to your wallet that someone gave you

7. MetaMask Support will never DM to help you.

8. DO NOT join WhatsApps groups, WeChat groups, Telegram channels, or Twitter DMs. These are all scams. MetaMask does not provide support via these platforms.

9. Flag scammers. You can help the community stay safe?

10. Beware of fake websites → Official Website: https://metamask.io/

11. Official Help → Support.MetaMask.io

12. We do not have any NFT drops planned and will never do a stealth one.

DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) are important for several reasons:

1. Decentralization: DAOs are organizations that operate on blockchain technology, allowing for decentralized decision-making and reducing reliance on centralized authorities or intermediaries.

2. Community empowerment: DAOs enable community members to have a direct say in the governance and decision-making processes of the organization. This fosters a sense of ownership and engagement among participants.

3. Transparency: DAOs operate on public blockchains, making their actions and decisions transparent to all participants. This fosters trust and accountability within the organization.

4. Flexibility: DAOs can be designed to serve various purposes and industries, from finance and governance to art and content creation. This adaptability allows them to address a wide range of problems and opportunities in the modern world.

5. Innovation: DAOs represent a new way of organizing and governing, leading to novel approaches and solutions to existing challenges. By leveraging the unique features of blockchain technology, DAOs can create more efficient, equitable, and sustainable models for collaboration and value creation.

6. Aligned incentives: DAOs often utilize tokenomics and other mechanisms to align the incentives of participants, ensuring that the success of the organization benefits all stakeholders. This fosters collaboration and cooperation among members, driving the organization towards shared goals and objectives.

Minting is the process of creating and issuing new digital assets, such as tokens or non-fungible tokens (NFTs), on a blockchain network. In the context of cryptocurrencies, minting refers to the creation of new coins or tokens, while for NFTs, it involves the creation of a unique digital item with its own distinct properties and provenance.

When an asset is minted, it is assigned a unique identifier and associated metadata, which is then recorded on the blockchain. This process ensures the asset's authenticity, ownership, and provenance, as well as enables its transfer and trading in a secure, decentralized manner.

Minting can occur through various mechanisms, such as mining (in the case of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin), staking (for some proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies), or using a smart contract to create and distribute tokens or NFTs on platforms like Ethereum or other blockchain networks.

A blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that securely records transactions across a network of computers. This technology uses cryptography to ensure that data is tamper-proof, transparent, and highly secure.

In a blockchain, transactions are grouped into blocks, and each block contains a set of transactions that are cryptographically linked to the previous block. This chain of blocks forms the blockchain, and its distributed nature ensures that no single entity can control or manipulate the data.

Blockchains enable trustless and secure transactions, making them ideal for a variety of applications, such as cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum), smart contracts, supply chain tracking, and digital identity management. By eliminating the need for intermediaries, blockchains can streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase security in many industries.

Ethereum, a leading blockchain network, is transitioning from a Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a more energy-efficient Proof of Stake (PoS) model called Ethereum 2.0. PoS relies on validators who lock up a stake of cryptocurrency as collateral to propose and validate new blocks, rather than miners who compete to solve complex computational problems in PoW.This transition to PoS significantly reduces the energy consumption and environmental impact of the Ethereum network, as it eliminates the need for resource-intensive mining operations. By reducing power consumption, Ethereum 2.0 offers a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional banking systems.Moreover, Ethereum's decentralized nature also helps in minimizing the overhead and carbon footprint associated with traditional banking infrastructure, such as physical branches, transportation, and energy-intensive data centers. By leveraging blockchain technology, Ethereum enables more efficient and environmentally responsible financial operations, further contributing to a greener future.

In the short-term, we are partly centralized in order to make decisions at the speed of business when traction matters most & instill and uphold a legacy of quality and efficiency.

We are a registered Wyoming DAO LLC with 3 levels of governance voting and a clear path to becoming one of the most autonomous organizations you’ve ever seen.

The DAO will be able to do things like fire and rehire the admin team in the future. (we think we’re pretty cool but will let you decide.)

Members are the governing body of the decentralized autonomous organization DBY Club, who vote on & fund project proposals. With the power of self-coordination a DAO provides and the help of those in service of the DBY Club DAO, we produce the most imaginative dreams you can dream into reality, together.

When a Large Monthly DAO project generates income, payment and royalties are automatically distributed to artists and members who backed and actively contributed to a project. (splits proposed & decided on a project-by-project basis)

We’re an organized creative hive mind, a launchpad for new and emerging artists, a melting pot of ideas from all experience levels and an opportunity for those established in their craft to communicate directly with those seeking to build a career.
