A Treasure on the Moon: Humanity’s First Open-Source Lunar Bounty Has Landed
What if the Internet led the way towards space exploration?
This is a question that we’ve been asking ourselves for several years, and today we are excited to announce a small, but impactful, step in this direction: The first lunar retrieval mission funded by the Internet. MoonDAO has created the first-of-its-kind “retrieval bounty” via a publicly-verifiable on-chain mechanism. We’ve embedded a private-key within NanoFiche inside @goLifeship ‘s Pyramid on the Moon that is required to unlock the funds in a multi-signature wallet that contains a bounty for whoever first retrieves the Pyramid on the Moon and inspects its contents to find the private key.
The Lifeship Pyramid on the Moon is intended to be a monument and symbol for our civilization and meant to outlast any human monument on Earth, and we intend to preserve it on the surface of the Moon. With this demonstration we’ll be able to show how a bounty on the lunar surface can incentivize a future mission and could be applied to help manage a sustainable presence via “pay-it-forward” retrieval bounties on the lunar surface and help fund an even bigger off-world monument.
