#W2E will be a recurring competition wherein we celebrate the unique and strange characteristics that embody our community. Simply put, be weird and earn $WEIRDO!

These contests are designed so that everyone is able to participate in, catering to all types of Weirdos! Our ambition is to be the gateway that bridges the masses into an onchain experience, and by participating in our W2E adventures you will be doing just that!

Our goal is to onboard the next million+ users to Base, and our #W2E competition will play a crucial role in achieving this. These contests are designed to be accessible to everyone, delightfully quirky, and, most importantly, they will bridge the gap between onchain and offchain experiences.

By participating, new users will create their first wallets and mint their first NFTs, marking the beginning of their onchain journey. We will be there to guide and support these new users as they explore this new frontier for the first time.

For our first competition, we want you to get out there and BE WEIRD! Take that shoe off and pose in front of the most iconic place that you can think of and upload it on our Competition page. Uplink will automatically connect you to Tweet out the image as a quote reply to our contest announcement as well!

Participants will have 10 days to send in the most iconic Weirdo photo and the $WEIRDO community will have 4 days to vote on the results.

PRIZES: $500, $300, $200 (To the top 3, paid out in $WEIRDO)*

START DATE: NOW - JULY 26 (2 AM GMT)

VOTE DATE: JULY 26 (2 AM GMT) - JULY 30 (2 AM GMT)

END DATE: JULY 30 (2 AM GMT)

REQUIREMENTS: Go out and get creative! Whether that be by the location you decide to take the photo in or the type of sock that you are wearing, there are no limits as long and it is up to the community to decide on which participant best deserves to win the prize.

It’s time for another thrilling WeirDAO vote! We’ve cooked up a plan to rescue our fellow degens lost in the Solana wilderness and bring them to the promised land of Base. Here’s how we’re going to do it:

1. Create a Bridge: Establish a bridge between Base and Solana to send some Weirdo tokens over there.

2. Smol LP on Raydium: Set up a small liquidity pool on Raydium so Solana degens can buy Weirdo.

3. Community Invasion: Welcome these lost weirdos into our community with open arms.

4. Shill Base & Worship Jesse: Get them to shill Base-related content and hail Jesse (creator of Base) as their messiah.

5. Base > Solana: Show them that Base is superior to Solana.

6. Bridge Back to Base: Encourage them to bridge their tokens back to Base.

7. Converted Weirdos: Successfully convert these Solana degens into Base weirdos.

Think of it like this: A brave Weirdo ventures far from the safety of home (Base) on a mission to rescue doomed souls (or "sols") in the harsh land of Solana. We’re not just sending tokens; we’re sending a message of salvation and unity.

• Bridge Mechanics: You send Weirdo from Base, you get Weirdo on Solana. Bridge back, and it burns Weirdo on Solana, giving you back Weirdo on Base.

• Wrapped Weirdo on Solana: It’s all about bringing people to Base, not the other way around. No Solana-branded Weirdo here – just pure, unadulterated Weirdo sent on a mission.

• Jesse's Mission: We’re on a holy mission sent by Jesse to save the lost sols of Solana and bring them to the safe haven of Base.

• Expand Our Reach: Bringing in new members from Solana will strengthen our community.

• Boost Liquidity: Creating an LP on Raydium will provide additional liquidity and trading opportunities.

• Spread the Gospel of Base: Show the crypto world that Base is the place to be.

• YES: Let’s build the bridge, create the LP, and start the rescue mission!

• NO: Let’s stay focused on our current strategy and not venture into Solana territory.

Get your weird self over to our WeirDAO voting portal, connect your wallet, and cast your vote. Your choice will shape the future of our weird and wonderful community!

Let’s save those lost sols and show them the true power of Weirdos!

Stay weird, stay united, and let’s make history!

Fellow weirdos, we've done it, and not a single "nay" in sight! In a dazzling display of unity, we achieved an incredible 100% vote in favor of going to Aerodrome Finance. Buckle up, because the weirdness express is about to go into a new era of liquidity and rewards that’s weirder than ever!

Earn Rewards: Provide liquidity and rake in those shiny AERO tokens. We expect an APR being around twice higher as what you could experience on Uniswap V3 currently

Multiplier Madness: Each dollar we put in would generate fees accumoolating weekly to bribe the veAERO voters, giving them no other choice than providing even more AERO allocations to our pool. Cha-ching!

Long-Term Gains: Reinvest AERO in an infinite money loop, grow our influence, attract more attention, and get even more gains.

Initial Investment: WeirDAO already kicked things off with $60k in WEIRDO tokens and ETH which have been added to the pool a day or so ago.

Big Holders Assemble: We’re calling on our whales to help us hit $200k in liquidity. Some have already showed the way, you just have to follow the leader.

Incentives overabundance: $5k in WEIRDO tokens each week for 26 weeks to further bribe the voters and get AERO flowing for LP holders.

By partnering with Aerodrome, we're not just adding liquidity; we're adding a whole new dimension of rewards and growth. Imagine your $WEIRDO multiplying like gremlins after midnight, but way less creepy and a lot more profitable. Plus, with Aerodrome’s Flight School program, we’re gearing up for some extra rewards and perks that’ll make our journey even more exciting. Keep posted!

This unanimous vote is a demonstration of the strength of our community. WeirDAO is ready to take off, and with Aerodrome having our back, the sky’s the limit.

Access our Aero liquidity here: https://aerodrome.finance/deposit?token0=0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006&token1=0x76734B57dFe834F102fB61E1eBF844Adf8DD931e&type=200

Stay weird, keep the sock on, and let’s get this liquidity party started!

What an electrifying moment it is to witness the vibrant spirit of our community in full swing, as we band together under the banner of weirDAO! In a whirlwind span of under two weeks, we've achieved a remarkable feat: voting on not one, not two, but six distinct proposals! Each proposal represents a thread in the rich tapestry of our collective vision for the future of our crypto realm.

Of all these proposals, none have sparked quite as much fervor and enthusiasm as the discussion surrounding our impending migration. With a staggering 24.5% of ALL our esteemed token holders casting their votes, it's clear that the migration is a topic near and dear to the hearts of our community.

But what exactly does this migration entail? For those who may be unfamiliar, let's delve into the details. Our migration represents a pivotal moment in our journey—a leap forward into a new era of possibilities. It's a chance for us to streamline our operations, optimize our processes, and pave the way for even greater innovation and growth.

One of the key decisions made through the weirDAO voting process is the establishment of our token supply at a range of 50-100 billion. This decision sets the stage for our future endeavors, providing us with the flexibility and scalability needed to realize our ambitious goals. The final decision? 69,420,000,000!

Furthermore, in a move to incentivize timely migration, our community has voted to impose a 10% penalty for individuals who migrate after the designated deadline. This measure not only encourages prompt action but also ensures the smooth and efficient transition of our token ecosystem.

Additionally, the weirDAO has allocated a significant portion—6.9%—of our token supply to our treasury. This reserve will serve as a strategic asset, providing us with the resources needed to fund initiatives, support development, and drive forward our collective vision.

As we approach the milestone of migrating 30% of our token supply, our final proposal comes into play: the gradual closure of the migration window. Once this threshold is reached, the window for migration will begin to shrink, underscoring the importance of proactive participation and timely action. The migration window will gradually close over the period over 48 hours, after which everyone that missed the deadline will be sent their V2 tokens with a 10% penalty attached to it.

At the helm of our community's well-being, we place paramount importance on transparency and security. In line with this commitment, we're diligently preparing to unveil the audited code for our token migration, meticulously vetted through Techrate.org. Rest assured, every measure is being taken to ensure a smooth and secure transition for all our valued members. Stay tuned for further updates as we chart our course toward a safer and more prosperous future together!

With the migration proposals firmly in place, our team is now kicking into high gear to ensure that every detail is meticulously polished. Once we're brimming with confidence, we'll unveil the migration procedure for all to follow!

The community has spoken, and the proposal to migrate our token has been overwhelmingly approved! We're entrusting you with the crucial details of this migration as we introduce a series of proposals for community decision-making on our V2 tokenomics!

TOKEN SUPPLY - We're giving you the power to choose how abundant—or scarce—our tokens will be. More tokens? Smaller individual value but maybe more to go around! Fewer tokens? Each one could be worth a small treasure on its own!

LATE MIGRATIONS - As we embark on our epic migration journey across the blockchain seas, we must decide the fate of our fellow Weirdos who might lag behind in the temporal vortex. Yes, we're talking about setting a Tax on Late Migrants. This isn’t just a toll; it’s a nudge for those caught napping while the rest of us plot the course to new horizons!

TREASURY ALLOCATION - As we vault into the future of Weirdo, it’s time to talk treasure—treasury, to be precise. Remember, our coffers are as empty as a meme lord's social calendar on a Friday night, thanks to our OG dev's grand exit stage left with the loot. Now, we have a chance to fill those coffers and fuel our freaky future!

Full details can be found on each snapshot page, make sure you are read and understand each one clearly before casting your votes! Thank you all for your patience as we move towards a better Weirdo!

Weirdo Snapshot page: https://snapshot.org/#/weirdobase.eth

1. Token Supply Tangle:

   - Our current token supply is a mere 1 million. In the meme coin cosmos, that’s like being a lone weirdo in a sea of normies — unique, but a bit misunderstood. The perception is that our tokens seem more expensive due to this scarcity, even if our market cap isn’t sky-high. By migrating, we’re thinking of inflating our supply by about 1000x for the psychological effect of making our token seem ‘cheaper’ because it is below $1 dollar while with the current supply our token would be worth $1000 when we reach $1B market cap.

2. Resource Reservoir:

   - Post-dev-dump drama, our coffers are as empty as a politician’s promises. We’ve got no reserves for marketing, rewarding our tireless community, or hosting those wacky contests we love. A migration could allow us to earmark a stash of tokens specifically for these activities, fueling our weird endeavors.

3. Technical Tweaks:

   - Our current contract has a bit of a spooky skeleton in the closet — a whitelisted address that could, in theory, collect fees. It’s not active, but it’s enough to make automated auditing tools raise an eyebrow (or two). A migration to a clean, simple ERC-20 contract based on Team Finance implementation (audited by Certik and Hacken) might just smooth those ruffled feathers.

4. Hype and Hope:

   - Handled with our characteristic flair, migration could be more than a technical tweak; it could be an event that brings buzz, engagement, and fresh blood to our community.

Let's be serious for a minute, Weirdos. Here's how the migration would work technically:

The migration from our old Weirdo token to the new one is designed to be secure, straightforward, and transparent. To engage with the migration smart contract, holders will follow these steps:

1. Initiate Migration on the Website:

   - Weirdos will visit the official Weirdo website and click on a "Migrate" button. This action initiates the process but first requires them to connect their digital wallet to the site.

2. Transaction Approval:

   - The first transaction is an approval transaction. By signing this, token holders authorize the migration smart contract to access and handle their old Weirdo tokens. This is a standard procedure to ensure that the contract does not move tokens without explicit user permission.

3. Executing the Migration:

   - Following approval, the second transaction is the migration call. When executed, this transaction securely transfers the old tokens from the holder’s wallet to the migration smart contract. In the same transaction, the new tokens are issued to the holder’s wallet at the predetermined conversion rate. This atomic nature of the transaction means that if any part of this process fails, the entire transaction reverts, thereby safeguarding the holder’s assets—there’s no scenario where they lose old tokens without receiving the new ones.

4. Token Collection and Migration Threshold:

   - The migration smart contract will continue to collect the old tokens until a community-voted threshold is reached. This could be a percentage of total tokens migrated or a time-based limit, as decided by the WeirDAO.

5. Closure and Recovery:

   - Once the threshold is met, the contract will block any new migrations. Subsequently, all collected old tokens will be "dumped" at once into the burned Uniswap V2 Liquidity Pool (LP) to recover as much ETH as possible for funding the new token’s LP.

6. Snapshot and Airdrop for Late Migrants:

   - Just before the big dump, a snapshot of all token holders will be taken. Those who haven't migrated by this point will still receive new tokens via an airdrop, but with a tax penalty (the exact rate to be determined by WeirDAO vote).

7. Post-Migration Token Handling:

   - After the migration cutoff, to prevent exploitation by purchasing old tokens at low prices for migration, no further migrations will be allowed. 

Tokens that were taxed from people that didn't migrate in time will be dealt with according to a WeirDAO vote—options might include adding them to the community treasury, burning them, or distributing them via another airdrop.

8. Security and Testing:

   - The migration contract will undergo extensive testing and documentation. Additionally, an independent audit will be conducted to ensure that the contract is secure and functions as intended without vulnerabilities.

9. Liquidity Pool (LP) Locking and Flexibility:

   - In our commitment to transparency and stability, the newly formed LP tokens will be locked using the locking tool provided by UNCX. This action will be visually represented by a small green lock icon next to our liquidity information on all token trackers, instilling further confidence in our project. The LP will be locked forever. Using the UNCX locker, our community multisig wallet will also be able to claim the fees generated by the LP, providing a continuous funding stream to support long-term project initiatives.

- Unique Identity Crisis:

  - Some weirdos love our low supply; it’s our weird badge of honor, some may say « Why fix what isn’t broken? »

- Complexity and Confusion:

  - Migration isn’t just a walk in the park. It’s a full-on expedition that might stir fear, uncertainty, and doubt among us.

- Rebranding Rigmarole:

  - A new contract means updating our presence on every tracker, tool, and talk shop out there. Plus, we’d lose our historical data visibility (though not the data itself).

If this proposal tickles your fancy and gathers enough community support, here’s what follows:

- Vote on New Supply: How many tokens should the new world hold?

- Decide Tokenomics: How much goes into the community fund?

- Set Penalty Rates: How harsh should the migration tardiness tax be?

We’re at a pivotal point in our weird history. This proposal isn’t just about token migration; it’s about setting the stage for our future. It’s about ensuring that our community can continue to thrive, innovate, and yes, stay weird.

Hope you're all vibing in your uniquely weird ways!

Today, we bring before you a most delightful and slightly weird proposal that seeks to sprinkle a bit more weirdness into our beloved DAO. As you know, our community thrives on inclusivity and the diverse flavors each Weirdo brings to the table. As we set the foundations of our weirDAO it is important that first look at WHO can vote on our proposals (we have a lot!).

We propose to grant voting rights to holders of our LP tokens. Yes, those brave souls who dive into the liquidity pools, battling the fierce currents to keep our ecosystem fluid and functioning.

• More Voices, More Weirdness: By enabling LP token holders to vote, we enrich our decision-making with a broader range of perspectives and experiences. Remember, weirdness multiplies with diversity!

• Rewarding the Risk-Takers: LPs lock in their tokens, providing stability and trust in our market. It's only fair they get a say in our collective journey.

• Strengthening Our Community: More stakeholders involved means a stronger, more committed group of Weirdos. And isn’t that what we're all about?

• Voting Power Equals Tokens: Similar to our current model, each LP token will carry voting weight. The more you provide, the more your voice counts.

• Seamless Integration: This change aims to be as smooth as our best dance moves, ensuring that all voices can be heard without skipping a beat.

Are you ready to dive deeper into the pool of decentralized decision-making? Do you agree that our LP wizards should wield the wands of governance too?

We've chosen this platform for its blockchain-based features, which ensure permanence and un-censorable content, aligning perfectly with our commitment to transparency and open communication. Moving forward, we will be utilizing this space for important updates and announcements as we continue to build out our project.

Weirdo has always celebrated the unique and unconventional—true to our name, we're all about the weirdos. As a community-first initiative, we are committed to maintaining this focus as we evolve. Our mission is to welcome weirdos from all over into our fold and unite them at Base, driven by the innovative efforts of our talented community. Today, we proudly exemplify this effort through the launch of our very own DAO—weirDAO!

For those of you weirdos still unfamiliar with what a DAO is, where have you been hiding? A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a cutting-edge way for communities to manage themselves without any central authority, using blockchain technology to enable transparent and democratic decision-making.

The short version? Weirdos using $WEIRDO token and magical crypto technology to make weirdo the weirdest (and fairest) place ever. Sock stays on.

In the coming days, we will unveil our first official Proposal. We'll provide details on how you can access it, where to cast your vote, and the structure we'll be using to facilitate this process.

Stay plugged, Weirdos!
