We propose raising 100 ETH through Daos.world to reestablish Energy's treasury and migrate its operations to Base L2. This migration builds on the intentions outlined in Proposal 38 and includes transitioning to token-based governance model. Our aim is to revitalize community participation, fund new artistic initiatives, and expand visibility across the Superchain ecosystem.
ENERGY is a global creative grants collective founded on August 8, 2023, by 13 members of the Zora community. Its mission is to publicly fund the arts while empowering artist autonomy and fostering experimentation onchain. The DAO has supported creators and collectives across the U.S., Canada, South America, and Europe, with works showcased at institutions like Sotheby’s and the National Finnish Museum. Energy sponsors year-round programming including exhibitions, drops, installations, and creative tools—backed by a collector base in the thousands. Governance is modeled after the Nouns framework, with community members holding voting rights based on token ownership. Entry occurs through token sales, and funds are granted by consensus. With continuous project proposals, a growing membership, and collaboration potential, Energy remains a vital force in shaping onchain creative culture.
### Why Daos.world? Daos.world is a launchpad and fundraising platform for decentralized communities built on Base. It facilitates ETH-based raises and token distribution for new or evolving DAOs. The platform has supported multiple successful launches, such as GG Capital DAO and Three Beras Capital, providing effective infrastructure and visibility.

Conclusion Energy evolution to Base via Daos.world represents a recommitment to its core values—autonomy, experimentation, and cultural legitimacy. This raise will allow us to stabilize and grow our treasury, support new talent, and open up governance to more active members.
With support from Base and Daos.world, Energy DAO enters a new chapter of onchain art patronage.
