Upon purchasing one of Neuralism’s 10,000 NFTs, users will receive tokens and become shareholders of our Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), built on the Polygon chain
The DAO members will receive dividend payments from the activities of Neuralism (see “Revenue streams” section) and will be involved in key governance decisions
33% of the DAO will remain in the hand of the founding team to properly align incentives; 33% will belong to NFTs holders; an additional 33% will remain available for later purchase in the form of tokens
REVENUE STREAMS OF NEURALISM’S DAO:
Minting and selling of AI Artworks voted by DAO members during weekly contests (similar to Botto’s DAO, which currently generates an annualised revenue of $10m+ after 4 months from establishment)
AI-based content for brands (e.g., visual content for DJ sets, videos for advertisers, etc.)
Immersive AI Creativity services in the Metaverse (e.g., virtual Art galleries, concerts, events, etc.)
Competitively priced GPU services for creators that will work for and with Neuralism
AI-powered collectibles and transactions

BUDGET
We aim to use Polygon’s grant to fund the first phase of growth of the community (c.15,000 members) to sell out the first 1,000 NFTs
Sources:
$15k from Founders
$50k from Polygon
Uses:
Admin Costs: $3k
People / HR: $6k
Influencers: $18k
Ads (IG, Twitter, TikTok): $12k
Promoted listing: $8k
Website: $5k
Legal: $8k
GPU: $5k
The next phase of growth will entail re-investing the proceeds of the pre-sale and leveraging our network to approach VCs and raise series A capital
This project is absolutely promising!
Its such a difference to all of the other projects!
Awesome team and great opportunities to come.
Id like to see a grant on that one to make it as huge as it deserves!
This is one initiative of it’s kind. I believe it’s got huge potential and power to coagulate AI artists. It’s such an interesting community. The level of respect and support for beginners is exceptional. I really wish it takes momentum and still glad to be that small part, but really a proud part.
LFG
I have been an AI artist on my own but never really found a way to get more people to see my art, but then I met the community at Neuralism. If the project takes off, it can create a whole new art movement also to the offline public.
I’m really excited for this project - been a member of Neuralism for a while, and it truly is a community where artists can support each other, and get real audiences that are willing to support their work in a multitude of ways love this 110%
As a co-founder, I am amazed by the range of skills that we have in house (both in the Neuralism team and within the community), as well as creativity that everyone brings to the table.
The community has been growing so fast in the last weeks and it has done so without major capital investment. This is a signal of the quality of our project and the traction that AI-art has been getting in the NFT market.
We’re doubling down on work efforts and have just expanded our marketing team to kick off a number of outreach activities that would further enlarge our community base - our core strength.
The topic is GOLD!
and The environment is just what it should be!
who can hesitate and ignore it?
awsome guys. You are gonna make it.
I’m waiting for it
I discovered this project almost by accident following some AI artists on twitter and I must say that it is really a very cool idea! I hope the project comes to life!
Hi, I’m Raff AI Ello. I help the team to maintain the discord server peaceful, respectful and updated. I joined because the team transmitted to me a strong determination and working with them I’m learning a lot of things. I’ve seen that they are very reliable and with a lot of knowledge. I also saw that the Artists that joined the server were fascinated by the project and instantly wanted to participate to the contests that we proposed.
Neuralism is a great project with such a highly skilled team and with a gret mission. It’s great to be part of their community and we’ll keep supporting them! Hopefully Polygon will do so too!
love this 110%
I love it 
Great project, great team!
