The IKB Token Collective has allocated half of its tokens to the International Klein Blue DAO Treasury

We’re excited to announce that the IKB Token Collective has decided to allocate half of the International Klein Blue tokens (symbol IKB, on the Solana blockchain) accumulated this past summer during our fair launch through DEX Screener’s Moonshot program to form the initial treasury of the recently established IKB DAO. Inspired by the ethos of the french artist Yves Klein himself — who famously threw away half the gold he received for his iconic work “Zones of Immaterial Pictorial Sensibility” into the Seine river in Paris as a symbolic act of value creation (three times between 1959 and 1962) — we believe that empowering our community to participate in defining the immaterial value and future of IKB is the most meaningful step forward.

This DAO treasury allocation marks a major milestone for the IKB project, allowing token holders to propose and vote on a wider range of initiatives (those that require monetary value to achieve) that align with our collective vision of bringing modern art, immaterial value, and decentralized community engagement together. We anticipate potential initiatives ranging from art contests to grants for emerging artists — helping to foster creativity and innovation in emerging modalities of modern art.

The International Klein Blue DAO was created a few weeks ago with the goal of decentralizing some governance and enabling our community to take an active role in shaping the future of IKB. With this treasury now seeded, it’s time for you — the token holders, artists, and visionaries — to start crafting proposals that will bring even more meaning and value to the IKB ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more updates on how you can participate and contribute to the evolution of IKB!
