- Here's an interesting thought:
When we hear mention of the term "singularity point" we tend to think of it as the point in future-history at which AI surpasses human cognitive ability, but really, (as I understand it) it should be seen as the point at which the rate of progress in AI and technology reach "terminal velocity" and technological and AI/AGI advancement is no longer dependent on human intervention, or maybe even human directive.
Which leads me to the actual point, being that isn't it realistic to think that from a perspective of time as a linear trajectory, we've already passed that threshold?

- Bear with me folks. We're gonna cover what makes $DOWN Vault token so unique; and why it's likely to usher in the 'social tokens 2.0' movement. Get something to drink and sit somewhere comfortable, because after you read this, there's a whole rabbithole to explore.
Let's do it.
$DOWN Vault token is simultaneously my 'social token' as an NFT artist/Web 3.0 buidler, the initial source of governance rights for the $DOWN DAO (and the ecosystem being built around it), a crypto asset index, and a fractionalized NFT.
____
To initially deploy $DOWN, an NFT has been locked in smart-contract escrow via the fractional.art platform (rebranding to Tessera); 10,000,000 tokens were issued which represent proportional ownership of the underlying NFT.
A majority consensus by holders can set/edit a reserve bid that must be met to initialize an auction for the NFT, the success of which will then allow all holders to redeem (via a contract call that burns the tokens) their held $DOWN for their proportional share of the ETH spent to acquire the NFT. EG: If the NFT is purchased for 100 ETH, a user holding 500,000 tokens would be eligible to burn their tokens for 5 ETH. [ 5% x 100 ]
The NFT itself, combined with the use of fractionalization, result in a perfect synergy that make the superiority of $DOWN's token model possible. The NFT fractionalized to deploy the tokens is an Emblem Vault, which in a few words is an encrypted (unlockable by its owner, but in this case still never unlocked) multi-chain wallet capapble of receiving inbound transactions on ETH, EVM Chains, Bitcoin, Tezos, Dogecoin and other networks. This dictates that the derived ERC-20 can be verified as having a minimum value determined by dividing the combined market value of the Vault's owned NFTs and tokens by the total supply of $DOWN.
While held in the deployment contract, it is impossible for any assets previously transferred to the vault to be removed, traded, sold or transferred; except by the new owner of the NFT after a buyout is successful. It also allows for anyone at all to add value to the underlying assets, permissionlessly, at any time, by sending NFTs or tokens to the vaults public addresses and in doing so, add that value to the provable backing of the tokens.
____
In addition to the provable value of the contained assets, $DOWN can increase, or decrease [at least to the minimum derived value] based on speculation related to its association with myself and to the projects with which it is integrated; as well as the added speculation surrounding the price action of its held assets, or of the additional assets yet to be added by the growing community.
Further adding to the speculative factors of the tokens market is the fact that several existing, and nearly all future NFT artworks, projects, etc. are/will be configured in such a way that a small share of every primary/secondary sale will be automatically redirected to the $DOWN Vault [or in some cases, the DAO's treasury].
---------
But don't worry, we don't believe that 'good enough' is ever good enough; so to be entirely certain we wouldn't be just a minor variation of the standard ERC20 model, we established a mechanic that, mathematically, is impossible; but thanks to blockchain, is undeniably true. We call it 'quantum compounding', and it might unravel reality based on the sustained existence of a paradox.
After the NFT (which is a wallet) was placed in the $DOWN deployment contract's custody; 10% of the initial supply of the token was transferred to the wallet housed in the NFT. Therefore, any increase in the combined value of the portfolio that underpins $DOWN subsequently increases the value of the underlying assets by an additional 10% of its value. [ adding 100 USDC to the 'vault' increases the provable backing of $DOWN by 100 USD, and therefore the $DOWN that is held in the vault has its value increased by 10 USD. ] Theoretically, this creates a programatically enforced "up only" mechanic, since the additional 10 USD value would then lead to an additional 1 USD, and 0.10 USD, and 0.01 USD, and so on, infinitely.
To put it another way, if we use X to represent the combined value of the assets held in the NFT, and Y to represent the tokens fully-distributed value, then logically, X=Y.
But 10% of the value of Y has to be included in the value of X,
so X=Y **AND** X+(Y/10) = Y.
But here's the really interesting aspect of this whole scenario. Every time any additional value is added to the vault, it creates a new 'loop' effect that perpetually adds 10% of the prior increase. All the while, every increase in the market price of the token effectively increases the tokens backing. If $DOWN is trading at 1 dollar, the vault provable holds a minimum of 1,000,000 dollars in $DOWN. So a market increase to 1.10 therefore increases the tokens' backing by 100,000 dollars, thereby further increasing the value of the token.

- $DOWN Vault - Social Tokens 2.0
The social token sector of crypto has immense unrealized potential. As someone who's watched the space evolve since being one of the earliest artists to deploy their own token early in 2020, I think I've devised a solution.

- Bootstrapping the $DOWN DAO in pursuit of the goal of revolutionizing the social token format; the success of which will establish a new paradigm for the social token sector. $DOWN is the first token of its kind, being tested in prod... and introducing the world to "quantum compounding".
- $DOWN , my social token (which I engineered and deployed independently) is also an NFT fractions token; representing proportional ownership of an Emblem Vault. Based on current floor prices (which are often lower than the actual value based on rarity/scarcity) and market values of the contained tokens, not all of which are currently tracked by the data providers referenced, the $DOWN Vault hold approximately $36000 USD in assets.

Skull Soup is the world's first (and only?) CryptoSkulls band. The band is made up of 4 CryptoSkulls NFTs owned by BruceTheGoose, who also created both of the currently available Skull Soup songs; 'Long Division' and 'Five Loko'.
- $DOWN is an innovative social token experiment in which the token is deployed by "sharding" an NFT; in this case, an Emblem Vault (a functional multi-chain wallet as an NFT) which contains an expanding selection of tokens and NFTs.
- There's far too little concern about the DINOSAURS at the Gathering of the Juggalos.
- This is gonna be too much fun. About to go out of town for a week; but after that. Full speed ahead on 30-50 feral hogs.

- $DOWN is an innovative social token; provably linked on-chain to an underlying (and expanding) vault of NFTs and fungible assets.
