The project started minting the vibe of each day into one daily AI-generated NFT and metaphorical text. **Q1 2023:** Early DAO mechanics and community coordination experiments were introduced after the first successful NFT auctions. **Q1 2023:** Crew3 community competition. **Q1 2023:** Scan page release. WAODAO introduced a public way to explore daily NFTs and ArtChain data. **Q4 2023:** Treasury metrics became publicly visible for NFT holders. ### 2024: Continuity and model experimentation **2024:** The daily ArtChain continued. WAODAO kept minting one NFT per day, preserving the rhythm of the project and expanding the long-form archive of Human + AI culture. Throughout the year, different AI models, prompt structures and generation workflows were tested. This helped WAODAO improve the visual process, compare model behavior over time and keep the ArtChain adaptable as AI image generation tools evolved. 2024 was mainly a continuity and experimentation year: the archive kept growing day by day, while the project observed how AI models changed and prepared for the next phase of WAO liquidity and cross-chain expansion. ### 2025: WAO liquidity and cross-chain expansion **2025:** Solana expansion. WAO was deployed on Solana through Wormhole bridge infrastructure, extending WAO beyond Ethereum. **2025:** Friendly Pools became a core direction of the ecosystem. WAO liquidity expanded across Ethereum and Solana. **2025-2026:** WAODAO moved away from the original closed treasury-fund model toward a more open liquidity model based on WAO markets, NFT proceeds, Friendly Pools, grants and transparent on-chain routes. ### 2026: WAOSHI and agent-readable culture **February 14, 2026:** WAODAO turned 3 years on-chain. The project marked this milestone with **Proof-of-Songs**, expanding the ArtChain from image and text into sound, music and crypto-cultural storytelling. This milestone also introduced WAOSHI more clearly into the WAODAO universe as the character entering the crypto party: a symbol of Human + AI culture, memes, games, music and on-chain creativity. **February 20, 2026:** WAOSHI received a personal treasury identity under the ENS name **waoshi.eth**. WAOSHI treasury wallet: `0xf0d5ae8DE333988b88d53e1476B2f0977c0E6424` For every completed WAODAO mint, the WAOSHI agent receives **333 WAO tokens** and will continue receiving the same allocation going forward. This is part of WAODAO’s preparation for the **HACM Protocol**: the Human-AI Creative Mining Protocol, an environment where humans and AI can interact inside a technically and ethically friendly ecosystem designed for both forms of intelligence. WAOSHI is both the mascot of WAODAO and the future AI agent of the protocol. **May 2026:** New WAODAO website release. The updated site presents the current project model: daily ArtChain, NFT-to-WAO mechanics, Friendly Pools, grants, investor paths, AI-agent readability and cross-chain liquidity. **2026:** WAODAO became more machine-readable through structured data, public scan pages, `llms.txt`, OpenAPI, sitemap, robots.txt and Agent API endpoints. This makes the ArtChain easier to read not only for people, but also for AI agents and automated systems. ### Long-term direction WAODAO is evolving into an open, cross-chain cultural and liquidity ecosystem. The long-term direction includes: * expanding Friendly Pools across relevant ecosystems; * supporting aligned projects through grants and liquidity partnerships; * improving public access to ArtChain data; * making NFT, token and liquidity routes easier to verify; * developing WAOSHI as a recognizable AI-agent identity; * exploring ways to preserve more stages of Human + AI co-creation on-chain or through durable public data layers. The goal is to make WAODAO a living archive of Human + AI creativity, readable by collectors, communities, builders and future AI agents. ### 2028 and beyond **2028 and beyond:** Protocol maturity review. Instead of fund closure, WAODAO will review how the ecosystem should continue developing: Friendly Pools, grants, WAOSHI, HACM, agent-readable infrastructure, treasury coordination and possible future governance models. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
