AIP-13: AssangeDAO Website Content Update
zylo.eth author· Jun 10, 2025
Summary
This proposal seeks to update the official AssangeDAO website (http://assangedao.org) with a new draft design hosted at https://clocknft.com/dao/. The update will modernize the homepage and DAO-related content, improving clarity on the DAO’s mission, token economy, governance plans, and current status. Created by community contributor Zylo, the redesign enhances user experience, strengthens public trust, and signals AssangeDAO’s active evolution to the crypto and free speech communities. No changes to smart contracts, domains, or security-critical infrastructure are proposed—only visible content will be updated.

Need for Website Update
