TungstenDAO is an NFT art-and-meme collective governed by holders of its minted memes, founded by Vincent Van Dough as an experimental meme incubation studio. TungstenDAO's Twitter Score is 70 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of September 2026, ranking #11,780 (top 5%) among 486,573 tracked accounts.
TungstenDAO was introduced as a vehicle for collecting highly memeable assets and producing content that reinforces their cultural significance. Its launch model, built around Foundation, allowed original memes featuring treasury assets to be minted and auctioned, with 90% of proceeds flowing to the DAO treasury and 10% going to the meme creator. Membership in the DAO is determined by holding one of these minted memes, with each meme carrying one vote in governance. Early coordination ran through a members-only Telegram channel, with on-chain governance set as a milestone to be reached after 30 memes had been minted and auctioned.
TungstenDAO assembled a launch treasury that included a one-of-one Tungsten Cube artwork, a Sea Ham, a CryptoPochi, three Rare Pepe cards, the genesis meme, 1 ETH, three donated Dickbutts, and two donated CryptoFlyz. The collective also purchased Midwest Tungsten Service's NFT representing a physical 2,000-pound tungsten cube for 56.9 ETH, reported at the time as $250,000. That NFT entitles the holder to visit the physical cube once a year at Midwest Tungsten Service, and burning the NFT triggers shipment of the cube itself to the holder. An Ethereum ERC-721 artwork titled Peperror is also publicly listed on OpenSea as owned by TungstenDAO.
