Some of the memes featured in this post will be part of the survey dApp. The rest will be added to the Dank Registry for DANK holders to decide on inclusion into the Meme Marketplace. If you want your memes to be considered for the survey dApp — please ensure you apply here before the voting period begins on September 17th.

Meme Factory Community Design Survey (Polls)

In addition to the Design Contest, we have a completely separate survey dApp which will decide the design and implementation of several aspects of the upcoming Meme Factory dApp, as well as the winners of the Community Design Contest entries.

Our first poll for Meme Format is currently live (and ends Monday, the 20th of August 2018). To date, we have seen 35,837,999.63 DNT used to signal towards the initial Meme Factory survey. A similar participation rate as the district proposal survey which sits at 45,280,241 DNT.

Understanding DANK Token & How To Get It

DANK is an ERC20 token that powers the Dank Registry. Holders of the DANK token can use it to decide which Memes are allowed for issuance and sale. DANK will not be for sale; rather is up for grabs as a reward for either winning one of the three design contests — OR — participating in the Community Survey dApp. We will be announcing additional ways to obtain DANK in the future.

In short, the best way to obtain your DANK is via rewards:

Rewards:

2.5% all DANK issued will be reserved for winners of the contest, 80% of DANK will go to Meme Factory community survey participants and the remaining 17.5% will be reserved for airdrops, faucets, and growth campaigns.

DANK rewards will be distributed at the conclusion of the final round of voting.

Once distributed, DANK will be both transferrable and usable in all future Dank Registry votes.

Meme Factory Design Contest Winners — 2.5%

.5% of DANK to the winner of the Token Logo design contest

.5% of DANK to the winner of the Back-of-meme design contest

.5% of DANK to the contestant with the highest rated Meme

.2% of DANK to the 2nd through 4th place Memes submissions

.05% of DANK to the 5th through 12th place Meme submissions

Winners will be decided at the conclusion of respective voting rounds.

Reserved for Airdrops, Faucets, and Growth Campaigns — 17.5%

Airdrops to various communities, as well as some day 1 incentives for meme creators, will all need to be funded from a communal pool of tokens. This will help create a solid selection of meme submissions in the early days.

Meme Factory Community Survey Participants — 80%

The remaining pool of tokens will be distributed to survey participants, based on their participation in the Meme Factory Community surveys. Each DNT signaled towards each week’s survey will be returned in kind with a proportional issuance of DANK.

Final Notes & FAQ’s

Do I Need DNT To Participate In The Surveys?

Yes — the MemeFactory surveys we issue (and will be issuing in future) take a snapshot of all Ethereum addresses holding DNT at the time we deploy each new survey. If you move your DNT while a survey is already live, you will need to wait for the following one to begin.

What Else Do I Need To Participate In The Surveys?

Participation requires a MetaMask or mycrypto.com-compatible wallet with an available district0x Network Token (DNT) balance, as well as enough Ether to cover any transaction costs. For more information, see our announcement blog post.

For tutorials on voting, see the MetaMask or MyCrypto Tutorials

Will I Lose My DNT By Voting?

NO — When voting in the survey dApp, you will not be sending your DNT from your wallet. You will simply be signaling with your DNT, so your tokens stay securely stored in your wallet of choice.

How Will DANK & ETH be used in Meme Factory

DANK will be used in (3) places in Meme Factory 1.) To submit a meme to the Dank Registry 2.) To challenge a registry submission 3.) To vote on a challenge. In short, if you plan on selling your own memes or curating the registry — you will need DANK Token. Ether is used to buy/sell existing memes that are for sale in the Meme Marketplace. So you can collect, buy, sell or trade as many memes as you wish — all you need is Ether to be able to do so, DANK will not be required.

Can I Get DANK without having any DNT?
