A group of cypherpunks recently formed a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to try to free imprisoned Wikileaks founder and activist Julian Assange. To date, the DAO has raised $7.5 million in Ether and the funds will be used to cover Assange's legal fees and raise public awareness of his case.
A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) has been created to help Julian Assange achieve freedom. Assange is a well-known journalist and activist who founded the website Wikileaks, and he was under investigation by the US government for publishing a series of Army intelligence briefings from 2010 that were given to him by Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning). The United States wants Assange extradited to the US because he was involved in the publication of classified US intelligence documents.
Assange is currently incarcerated in London's Belmarsh maximum security prison and the whistleblower has been in prison since 2019 Assangedao wants to shed light on the corruption associated with Assange's case and help free the activist from prison. The group's website explains that the focus is on continuing to fight for Julian Assange. “Freedom of Julian Assange”, details on the website assangedao.org. The website adds:
We will be raising funds to support his legal fees and campaigns to raise public awareness of the systemic failures of our justice systems. We, the Cypherpunks, gather for the cause of another Cypherpunk in need.
Additionally, the website includes a quote from Assange that says, “One of the best ways to achieve justice is to expose injustice.” So far, the Assange-centric DAO 2,533.91 Ether collected or around $7.5 million with current Ethereum ( ETH ) exchange rates. Essentially, the DAO aims to raise Ethereum in exchange for the $JUSTICE governance token to bid on a 1/1 NFT.
The non-fungible token (NFT) art was produced by digital artist Pak in collaboration with Julian Assange, explains the group's DAO fundraiser on Juicebox.money. According to the Assangedao team, the Assange family supported the project and “worked closely with the DAO.”
