Overview

Pawthereum, a community dedicated to educating and onboarding animal welfare organizations to onchain fundraising, airdropped cat-loving token holders of Toshi, Mochi, and followers of Base's farcaster channel a governance token where users could vote on what the name of Pawthereum's branded room should be in the new Progressive Animal Welfare Society's (PAWS) Wildlife Center in Washington, USA. Pawthereum introduced PAWS to onchain fundraising in 2021 with a $100k onchain donation and was given the opportunity to brand a room in the newly constructed wildlife center. The winning name based on the vote is the Pawthereum Holding Room! It's the perfect name for a room that will be used for animals to decompress before they are diagnosed at the animal hospital onsite. This governance vote introduced a new community of Base lovers to the Pawthereum project. Users who participated in this vote were airdropped Pawthereum tokens when Pawthereum migrated from Ethereum mainnet to Base in April. If they enjoyed using tokens to vote on fun governance proposals that help animals, they have like minded frens in the Pawthereum community! The vote was conducted in a farcaster frame or on Pawthereum's custom build interface: Pawswap. Most users chose to vote via the frame and as far as I am aware, this is the first frame used for an onchain governance proposal! (Coinbase's frame followed shortly after with a vote on branding for a liquid death advertisement).
