ArtHouse Spirits DAO - A Project Combining Tokenized Rum with Real Benefits

Press Release • March 24, 2023

We live in an era of unprecedented technological advancement, with the potential to combine traditional industries with new digital technologies. ArtHouse Spirits DAO is a project combining tokenized rum with real benefits while leveraging the Dictador brand and artistic collaborations.



By appealing to an élite group of high-net-worth individuals, this project aims to create a luxurious community. Here, members can benefit from exclusive events, investments, and more.


Today's article will explore the project’s potential and its team's roadmap, giving you the details needed to understand its mission. The project merges several components to create its offering, so we'll dive in and discover each of the team's pillars.


What Is ArtHouse Spirits DAO?

ArtHouse Spirits DAO is an exclusive community comprising high-net-worth individuals, investors, and luxury consumers. They put the same ideologies and visions at the project's core, brought together through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).


In order to join this DAO, one needs to possess a Dictador Non-Fungible Token (NFT). This token is not only a mere picture but also holds its value. The funds raised via the NFT sale go into creating the DAO Treasury, on which we'll share more details soon.


This project envisions creating a system allowing members to collect rewards from this élite industry in exchange for their investments.


There are at least three aspects that one must understand when looking at ArtHouse Spirits DAO:


  • The market's growth potential
  • The relevance of the Dictador brand
  • The project's artistic backgrounds.


Therefore, let us look into each of those in more detail to better understand what this project is all about.


The Market's Growth Potential

The project's team dedicated an entire Medium article to analyze the current market's potential.

As they mentioned, the market for collecting and investing in alcoholic drinks, such as rum, has been growing steadily. This is due to its potential to produce high returns and its lack of correlation with other asset classes. As a result, it can offer more stability compared to traditional investments such as stocks and bonds.


However, it is important to consider the long-term horizon when engaging in this activity. The bottle prices can increase due to limited supply and because some of the alcohol produced yearly goes to consumption. Moreover, the taste can improve with time, making it more valuable.


Finally, the team mentioned several case studies to sustain their point. Specifically, they mentioned the 1943 Bacardi, Appleton Estate 50-year-old, and Black Tot Royal Navy Rum from the 1950s. All of these have seen remarkable price growth in the past years.


Dictador rum bottles, for example, had a 17-fold increase in value since 2012, with an ROI of almost 60%. These results highlight a promising future for investing in alcoholic drinks such as rum, as the project's founders explained.


Leveraging the Dictador Brand

ArtHouse Spirits DAO chose to follow the popularity of the Dictador brand in the luxury rum market. This brand has a strong reputation, and the Parra family has been perfecting the recipe for over 100 years.


The project's team sold a single Dictador rum bottle for $100k, setting a record in the industry. The value of this brand has exceeded expectations and become an attractive member option among spirit connoisseurs.

The ArtHouse Spirits DAO team is developing strategies to leverage the Dictador brand. The project aims to connect enthusiasts to unlock the value of luxury spirits while celebrating the culture around them.


An Artistic Collaboration

ArtHouse Spirits DAO's idea to boost its vision with NFTs came to life thanks to artistic collaborations. The team has partnered with M-City, a world-renowned street art artist whose work has appeared in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.


M-City is a Polish street artist, graphic artist, and designer born in 1978 in Gdynia. He studied at the Faculty of Graphics at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk and completed hundreds of murals.


M-City created 20,000 unique NFTs, which consist of maps of cities and districts all around the world. Membership NFTs represent the access key to this new project, merging traditional art and digital technology.


Appealing to an Elite Group

ArtHouse Spirits DAO is an exclusive club for those passionate about the spirits industry. It offers an opportunity to join an elite group where everyone has a say in shaping the project’s future.


Collectors can access discounted bottles, exclusive VIP events, masterclasses, and conversations with experts, artists, and blend masters. Additionally, NFT holders can redeem their tokens for a physical bottle from the Treasury. They May also receive ERC-20 token rewards from the liquidation events. 


The team designed a 6% royalty for all NFTs sold on the secondary market. The tax receipt will equally divide between the Treasury and the organization of new events. This strategy allows spirits collectors to build wealth in the industry while joining something new in the sector.


Understanding the Importance of the Project's Treasury

The ArtHouse Spirits Treasury is critical to the DAO, providing the foundation for NFT asset-backed value. This value currently stands at 1.5 million USD and consists of carefully selected luxury assets with a track record of consistently appreciating. The team holds these assets in a duty-free zone in the Netherlands to ensure they remain safe and secure.


The Treasury plays an important role for DAO members. Specifically, the value of these assets provides them with a real value and potential.


Through the project's minting operations, the team will have the funds to put more bottles into this Treasury. As time passes, these experts anticipate that these assets will become even more valuable, providing additional benefit for the holders.


This is why it's so important that the Treasury remains safe and secure. It is a key factor in guaranteeing investors a return on their investments.


What Does the Team's Roadmap Anticipate?

The project shared a general roadmap and a detailed list of milestones. From a high-level perspective, the team divided its activities into three phases:


  1. The Black Milestone: During this phase, the team focused on launching the Treasury and Membership NFTs.
  2. The Emerald Milestone: The team will build an exclusive VIP community of like-minded individuals.
  3. The Pink Crystal Milestone: Lastly, the team will focus on providing exclusive events, investments, and more. These activities will represent the project's go-to-market strategy and help drive adoption.

Overall, the team wants to use these milestones to create a world-class product that meets the expectations of its users. The detailed roadmap will give the community details about upcoming events, such as AMAs and more.


The team will update the roadmap as it progresses so that the community can stay up-to-date on development efforts.


Final Thoughts - Building a Closed Community of High-Net-Worth Individuals

Through the product's Treasury and Membership NFTs, ArtHouse Spirits DAO establishes a closed community of like-minded individuals. This allows members to participate in conversations and events only available to them.


With multiple events and an NFT asset-backed strategy, this team intends to create an all-inclusive platform for a passionate community. The project's sales will open on April 13th. Moreover, the team will soon share an update with the details of its whitelisting process.

Secure Legion has announced the public beta release of the world’s first messaging application designed to expose zero metadata . Built entirely without servers, directories, or intermediaries, the platform delivers fully peer-to-peer communication through Tor hidden services ensuring that no third party can observe who is communicating, when, or from where. Unlike conventional messengers, Secure Legion replaces personal identifiers with Solana wallet keypairs , eliminating the need for phone numbers, emails, or any form of personal data. A New Standard for Private Communication Modern encrypted messengers secure message content but still leak metadata social graphs, contact networks, connection timestamps, and communication patterns. Platforms such as Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram rely on servers that inherently retain traces of user behavior. Secure Legion removes this entire metadata surface through two core innovations: A completely serverless architecture that prevents any entity from storing, relaying, or analyzing message traffic. The Ping-Pong Wake protocol , a novel mechanism that delivers messages only when both parties are simultaneously online and authenticated. Because no server ever queues or registers communication attempts, observers cannot build relationship graphs or infer interaction frequency. Identity Through Solana Wallets Instead of traditional account systems, Secure Legion adopts a self-sovereign identity model : each user’s Solana keypair functions as their cryptographic identity across both messaging and blockchain-related interactions. This model reinforces privacy, reduces attack surfaces, and aligns with emerging ecosystem standards for decentralized identity. Engineered for High-Risk Environments Secure Legion is already being adopted by journalists, activists, and crypto communities operating in heavily restricted regions. The Android client integrates Tor bridges such as Snowflake , obfs4 , and meek , enabling reliable access in environments with deep packet inspection or aggressive censorship. Message delivery follows an authentication-before-delivery process, preventing message-waiting or mailbox-style analysis one of the key vulnerabilities of conventional encrypted messengers. As one Secure Legion engineer summarized: “Signal protects what you say. Secure Legion protects who you talk to.” With no servers, no timestamps, and no retained message queues, communication patterns become indistinguishable to observers. Open Source, Transparent, and Subpoena-Resistant Secure Legion is fully open source under the MIT license. All cryptographic components including XChaCha20-Poly1305 , Ed25519 , and X25519 ECDH are publicly documented and implemented without telemetry, analytics, or background data collection. The architecture is intentionally designed to be non-compliant with surveillance backdoors : “You can’t subpoena a server that doesn’t exist.” Key Features of the Public Beta Android client available at securelegion.org and on GitHub Fully peer-to-peer messaging via Tor hidden services StrongBox-backed encryption on supported devices Text and voice messaging Built-in Tor bridges for censorship resistance This beta release arrives amid growing global pressure on encrypted communications from the EU’s Chat Control proposal to the UK Online Safety Act and the US EARN IT Act. Secure Legion’s serverless architecture makes such mandates technically impossible to implement. Context in the Privacy Ecosystem Secure Legion responds to an issue long overlooked by mainstream encrypted platforms: metadata surveillance . Metadata exposes behavioral patterns, personal networks, movements, and relationships even when message content is encrypted. Compared to existing alternatives: - Session still relies on service nodes; Secure Legion removes intermediaries entirely. - Briar exposes certain network patterns; Secure Legion eliminates visible trails and peer graphs. - Signal reveals communication metadata to its servers; Secure Legion reveals nothing. The result is a platform that implements true metadata-free messaging by design a direction recently emphasized by leaders such as Vitalik Buterin in calls for permissionless accounts and privacy-preserving communication systems. About Secure Legion Secure Legion is a peer-to-peer, serverless messaging project developed by privacy engineers committed to eliminating metadata surveillance. The platform is non-commercial, open source, and designed around censorship resistance and cryptographic transparency. A formal security audit is underway. Upcoming roadmap items include group messaging, expanded privacy modes, and a desktop client. Follow the project and join the community: Official website | X (Twitter) | GitHub

SuperIntent , the AI-powered DeFi platform, has launched its Alpha App and Mission Airdrop Point System following a seed round that pushed its fully diluted valuation to US$25 million. As stablecoin continue to heat up and bring crypto further into the mainstream in 2025, the XY Finance team, which has been backed by industry leaders such as Circle and Lemniscap, announced its rebrand in Q2 2025 as SuperIntent, opening an early waitlist that has since attracted over 100,000 users. After piloting in APAC in September, SuperIntent is now launching globally, with over 200,000 users sign-ups to date.  Simplifying DeFi for Smarter, Accessible Yield SuperIntent aims to make DeFi investing simpler, more accessible, and even a source of passive income. As DeFi shifts from meme-driven speculation to stronger fundamentals such as sustainable buybacks, the rise of fixed-rate yield products, and more structured arbitrage and market-neutral strategies, yield opportunities are becoming richer and more stable but also more fragmented. This creates a clear need for a smarter, unified solution. “For most users, DeFi still feels like wandering without a guide. People expect the same seamless experience they get from traditional wealth management,” the team added. “With recent breakthroughs in AI, we can finally deliver a real co-pilot that understands user intent, optimizes yield, and executes safe strategies across chains with a single tap.” In its Alpha App, SuperIntent’s Earn feature unifies top protocols into a single interface with one-click rewards, so users can allocate funds in one tap and never miss their yield, including both native yield and reward tokens. Cross-Sector Investors Signal Confidence in SuperIntent’s Direction SuperIntent team has long been active in DeFi and specialized in cross-chain infrastructure. It was among the earliest supporters of Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and recently joined the Circle Alliance Program. Investor interest began to build earlier this year amid the rise of the AI narrative and growing adoption of chain abstraction technologies. Momentum increased after the rebrand and Circle’s IPO, together with clearer stablecoin regulation in key markets including the United States and Asia. In this seed round, participation came from existing backers and Web3-native funds as well as a wave of traditional finance and software investors. These developments collectively reinforced investor confidence in the sector’s long-term potential for sustainable yield products, positioning SuperIntent at the forefront of the emerging intersection between AI and DeFi. Global Expansion and the Shift Toward Steadier DeFi Investing SuperIntent App integrates multiple DeFi yield sources into a seamless user interface that helps users grow their assets steadily and avoid market volatility. While the U.S. remains a major market, strong early traction has also come from Southeast Asian countries, where many gig and informal workers have irregular income and remain underserved by traditional financial institutions. DeFi offers a viable alternative for yield generation and financial inclusion. “Simply holding assets or actively trading is no longer the only way to participate in crypto. Since the October 10 crypto crash, where many perp users were hit hard and several overly complex vault products suffered heavy losses recently, SuperIntent’s user base has grown significantly, reflecting a clear shift toward more risk-aware, stable yield-focused strategies. SuperIntent is exactly where it needs to be, helping users put their idle crypto to work through a more sustainable and stable approach.” Looking ahead, SuperIntent plans to expand protocol coverage, roll out an AI-driven personalized yield sniper notification, and add automated features such as auto-rebalancing and DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) to deliver a more end-to-end investment experience and help users grow their assets automatically. By combining AI-driven intelligence with a user-centric design, SuperIntent aims to redefine how people interact with DeFi, turning complexity into simplicity and making intelligent investing accessible to everyone. About SuperIntent SuperIntent is a crypto AI app that simplifies on-chain earning strategies. Built on a multi-agent framework with rich yield sources, SuperIntent helps users discover alpha, manage risk, and grow their assets with ease.

The listing marks the project’s first entry into major centralized markets following its recent appearance on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.  The CDG token powers a decentralized network built from user-owned hardware devices that function as a distributed data center. This is an important feature for AI, cloud, VPN, gaming, and edge workloads. Thousands of CDG Devices operate as a resource layer. In short, the devices supply computation and bandwidth while earning CDG from the network’s emission treasury. Token Utility and Network Economics CDG is an ERC-20 utility token that powers the device network. Every day, device owners make CDG. Businesses can use the network for AI inference, cloud microservices, gaming workloads, and encrypted VPN routing. The token economy is based on long-term sustainability, fixed emissions, and usefulness in the real world. Integration with Codego’s IBAN and card infrastructure provides an additional layer for future payment and service models. Here are the key token metrics: Total supply: 10,000,000,000 CDG Standard: ERC-20 (18 decimals) Type: Utility token Emission: 200 CDG per active device per day Furthermore, here is more information in terms of token distribution: 70% Treasury 5% Team 5% Marketing 5% Operations 5-10% Liquidity & Partners A Decentralized Datacenter Powered by Consumer Hardware The project introduces a hardware ecosystem where each device contributes GPU and compute resources to the CDG network. In return, every active device receives a daily allocation of CDG, forming a predictable and transparent emission model. Two devices form the core of the network: CDG Power Home and CDG Home. The first has the following features: Daily Get CDG: 200 CDG Device price: €10,000 Activation cost: 40,000 CDG Power consumption: 30W CDG Home can be summarized by the following points: Daily Get CDG: 50 CDG Device price: €2,500 Activation cost: 10,000 CDG Power consumption: 10W Both devices are designed for low energy use and quiet operation. This mechanism allows homes and offices to participate in the network without technical setup. About CDG CDG is an ERC-20 utility token designed to power a decentralized data center formed by user-operated CDG Devices. Codego Group is working on the project. This team aims to offer scalable compute, cloud, and network services through a distributed hardware layer that everyday people own. The BitMart listing makes the CDG ecosystem more accessible, meaning more people can take part in the device-powered datacenter model.

HelloTrade, a new blockchain-powered trading platform founded by former BlackRock crypto directors Wyatt Raich and Kevin Tang, announced that it has closed a $4.6M seed round led by Dragonfly Capital. The round came together in under a week, reflecting strong conviction in the size of the market opportunity and the team’s track record building category-defining products. At BlackRock, Kevin and Wyatt launched the firm’s spot Bitcoin ETF, the fastest ETF in history to reach $100B in assets. For decades, access to the world’s capital markets and leveraged equity trading has been constrained by geography, high capital requirements, complex derivatives, and legacy brokerage systems. These barriers have made obtaining directional exposure and leverage to global equities challenging for retail and professional investors. HelloTrade aims to change that. Built on MegaETH, the platform will let users everywhere gain leveraged exposure to stocks, ETFs, commodities, and crypto. The app is designed for everyday investors with a mobile first experience, removing the usual points of friction that come with crypto trading. There is no wallet setup, no gas payments, and no technical jargon. Users simply open the app and trade with the speed of a traditional brokerage platform, enabled by MegaETH’s ability to process more than one hundred thousand transactions per second. “Trading stocks with leverage shouldn’t be gated by geography or account minimums,” said co-founder Kevin Tang. “We’ve now seen how crypto derivatives transformed access to digital assets. HelloTrade applies that same ethos to traditional equities, making it possible for investors around the world to participate in the world’s most dynamic markets”. The company is supported by a strong group of advisors, including Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom), Josh Lim (FalconX), David C. (LeadBlock Partners & LeadBlock Bitpanda Ventures), Larry Florio (Ethena), and Andrew Saunders (Amazon). “While leading the engineering team for BlackRock’s Digital Assets Lab, I had the privilege of building IBIT, ETHA, and BUIDL, some of the largest cryptoasset products in the world. That experience highlighted a tremendous opportunity to bring the same trust, discipline, and institutional standards we upheld at BlackRock to the rest of the world and build something truly transformative with HelloTrade,” said co-founder Wyatt Raich, and prior head of digital assets engineering at BlackRock. Kevin and Wyatt first crossed paths at BlackRock as foundational team members in the firm’s digital assets division. Despite their different backgrounds-Kevin as a financial services veteran with over 12-years experience, and Wyatt coming from a career in AI and robotics at Lockheed Martin-the two shared a conviction that blockchain technology could transform capital markets and investing. HelloTrade is expected to launch in the form of a mobile app across both iOS and Android. For early access, a waitlist is currently live at hello.trade .
