What is the Commoner's SubDAO
The Commoner's SubDAO turns individual self-interest into collective good. Holders of the 120 identified 3-trait MidEvils govern a shared treasury, run daily auctions, and commission artwork — building a community-owned institution on Solana that rewards participation and grows in value with every auction.
Who Are Commoners
In the MidEvils collection, most NFTs carry 4–8 visible traits. Commoners are the rare subset with exactly 3 non-"None" traits — Background, Skin, and one additional trait — making them the simplest, most minimal characters in the set. There are exactly 120 of them. Each Commoner NFT grants 1 vote in SubDAO governance.
Daily Auctions
- Any MidEvil NFT (not just Commoners) can be listed for auction.
- Each auction runs for 24 hours starting at midnight UTC.
- A fee on the final sale price is sent to the SubDAO treasury; proceeds go to the seller.
- During the bootstrapping phase, the founder curates the schedule. Long-term, COMMON holders list directly.
- If no bids are placed, the auction ends with no fee charged and the NFT returned to the seller.
Governance
Governance operates in three layers:
- NFT Vote (Layer 1) — 51% yes majority, 24/120 quorum required. Standard proposals, parameter changes, bounties, and treasury requests under 5 SOL.
- Futarchy Prioritization (Layer 2, Phase 4) — MetaDAO prediction markets rank competing proposals by expected impact. Active from Phase 4 onwards.
- Treasury Supermajority (Layer 3) — higher thresholds for large treasury actions.
| Treasury Ask | Majority | Quorum |
|---|---|---|
| < 5 SOL | 51% | 24 / 120 |
| 5 – 20 SOL | 67% | 36 / 120 |
| > 20 SOL | 75% + futarchy | 36 / 120 |
COMMON Token
Fixed supply of 1,000,000 COMMON. No team or founder allocation — all distribution is community-driven. Purpose: auction fee waiver, artist bounty rewards, DAO liquidity, and futarchy market participation (Phase 4).
| Allocation | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Holder Airdrop | 700,000 (70%) | Distributed to all 120 Commoner holders, proportional to NFTs held |
| Bounty Rewards | 150,000 (15%) | Artist bounty pool; DAO can vote to replenish via open-market buys |
| DAO Liquidity | 100,000 (10%) | SOL/COMMON liquidity pool managed by treasury; LP fees build the treasury |
| Future Emissions | 50,000 (5%) | Locked; released only by governance vote |
