Because the act of curation is being conducted entirely onchain, it is now possible to create trustless Curator DAOs—community organizations that can collectively own and operate an auction house.

This means that any group of artists, collectors and curators can come together to start their own fully functioning and community-owned NFT marketplace, gallery or exhibition as they wish.

By using a DAO, you can distribute ownership with a token to all collaborators, contributors and community members.

Community-owned NFT marketplaces, galleries, auction houses and platforms are now entirely possible.

This is an architecture diagram of a CuratorDAO I created for the "Introducing Auction House" announcement blog post.
