🌟 General Questions​

What is Ethereal Offering?​

Ethereal Offering is a decentralized platform that combines blockchain technology with spiritual practices, specifically designed for the recovery community. It features:

  • Multi-token ecosystem (PSILO, MDAO, ETHO, PSD, DM)
  • Ceremonial token burns at the Sacred Altar
  • DAO governance for community decision-making
  • NFT breeding system with genetic traits
  • 12-step integration for recovery communities
  • Psychedelic-friendly approach to healing

Mission: To create a sacred blockchain ecosystem that supports recovery, spiritual growth, and collective awakening.

Who is behind this project?​

Ethereal Offering is built by Psanctuary Church, a spiritual community focused on:

  • Psychedelics in recovery
  • 12-step principles
  • Decentralized governance
  • Sacred technology

Founder: Christopher (TranscendentVioletVoyager) - A person in recovery with experience in blockchain development and spiritual practice.

Team: Open-source contributors, community members, and spiritual advisors.

Is this a registered nonprofit?​

Status: 501(c)(3) application pending

We're in the process of establishing Psanctuary Church as a registered nonprofit organization. Until then, the project operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) with transparent on-chain governance.

💰 Token Questions​

How many tokens are there?​

Seven tokens, each with a specific purpose:

  1. PSILO - Crowdsale fundraising token
  2. MDAO - Governance and voting rights
  3. ETHO - Ceremonial burn token
  4. PSD - Stablecoin (pegged to $1)
  5. DM - Daily rewards token
  6. POB - Proof of Burn NFT (soulbound)
  7. SHROOM - Mushroom breeding NFT

See: Tokenomics Overview

Which token should I buy first?​

Depends on our goals:

  • Want to support the project? → Buy PSILO in the crowdsale
  • Want governance rights? → Stake PSILO to earn MDAO
  • Want to make offerings? → Get ETHO (swap or earn)
  • Want price stability? → Use PSD for trading
  • Want daily rewards? → Earn DM through participation

Recommendation for beginners: Start with PSILO, then explore others.

Are these tokens securities?​

No. We've obtained legal opinions confirming that our tokens are utility tokens, not securities under US law. However:

  • We're not offering to US residents during the crowdsale (out of abundance of caution)
  • Tokens have clear utility within the ecosystem
  • No profit promises or guarantees
  • Decentralized governance after launch

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Consult our own attorney.

What's the total supply of each token?​

🔥 Sacred Altar Questions​

What happens when I burn ETHO?​

When you make an offering at the Sacred Altar:

  1. ETHO is permanently destroyed - Removed from circulation forever
  2. POB NFT is minted - Soulbound receipt of our offering
  3. MDAO is earned - Governance tokens as reward
  4. ETH goes to treasury - Funds the mission
  5. Intention is recorded - Our prayer/intention stored on-chain (encrypted)

See: Making Offerings Tutorial

Can I get my burned tokens back?​

No. Burning is permanent and irreversible. Once ETHO is burned, it's gone forever. This is by design—it's a spiritual practice of surrender and release.

Make sure you're ready before burning!

What is a Proof of Burn NFT?​

A POB NFT is a soulbound (non-transferable) NFT that serves as a permanent receipt of our offering. It includes:

  • Unique generative artwork
  • Burn amount and date
  • Encrypted intention
  • Rarity tier (Common to Legendary)
  • MDAO earned

we can view all our POB NFTs in "My NFTs" section.

How much should I burn?​

There's no "right" amount. It depends on:

  • What we can afford
  • What feels meaningful
  • Our spiritual intention
  • Whether you're building a streak

Suggestions:

  • Beginners: 10-100 ETHO ($0.50-$5)
  • Regular participants: 100-1,000 ETHO ($5-$50)
  • Special occasions: 1,000+ ETHO ($50+)

Remember: It's not about the amount—it's about the intention.

🗳️ Governance Questions​

How do I vote in the DAO?​

Steps to participate in governance:

  1. Earn MDAO - Stake PSILO or make offerings
  2. Hold MDAO - Keep in our wallet (longer = more voting power)
  3. View Proposals - Check active proposals on governance page
  4. Vote - Click "Vote" and choose Yes/No/Abstain
  5. Wait for Results - Voting period ends, results tallied

Voting power = MDAO balance × time multiplier

See: MDAO Token Guide

Can I delegate my voting power?​

Yes! If we can't vote yourself, we can delegate to someone you trust:

  1. Go to "Governance" → "Delegate"
  2. Enter delegate's address
  3. Confirm transaction
  4. They can now vote with our MDAO

Our tokens stay in our wallet - we can revoke delegation anytime.

What can the DAO vote on?​

Standard Proposals (51% approval):

  • Adjust staking rewards
  • Add new AMM pairs
  • Update fee structures
  • Marketing initiatives

Major Proposals (66% approval):

  • Treasury allocations > $100K
  • Smart contract upgrades
  • Partnership agreements
  • Token economics changes

Critical Proposals (75% approval):

  • Constitution amendments
  • Multi-sig signer changes
  • Emergency actions
  • Protocol migrations

🍄 NFT Questions​

How do I breed Mushroom NFTs?​

Breeding process:

  1. Own 2 mushrooms - Purchase or breed
  2. Check cooldowns - Both must be off cooldown
  3. Pay DM fee - Varies by rarity (100-100,000 DM)
  4. Breed - Combine parents to create offspring
  5. Wait for maturity - 7 days to fully grow
  6. Repeat - After cooldown expires

Offspring inherit traits from parents with chance of mutations.

See: Mushroom Breeding Guide

What determines rarity?​

Rarity is based on 6 genetic traits:

  1. Potency (1-100)
  2. Color (12 options)
  3. Size (Tiny to Massive)
  4. Pattern (Solid, Spotted, Striped, etc.)
  5. Glow (None to Radiant)
  6. Aura (Calm to Transcendent)

Rarity tiers:

  • Common (50%) - Average traits
  • Uncommon (30%) - 1-2 rare traits
  • Rare (15%) - 3-4 rare traits
  • Epic (4%) - 5 rare traits
  • Legendary (1%) - All traits maxed

Can I sell my Mushroom NFTs?​

Yes! Mushroom NFTs are tradeable:

  • Marketplace - List for fixed price or auction
  • Direct Trade - Swap with other users
  • OpenSea - Trade on external marketplaces

Marketplace fee: 2.5% (goes to treasury)

Note: POB NFTs are soulbound and cannot be sold.

💵 Financial Questions​

Is this an investment?​

No. Ethereal Offering is a spiritual and community platform, not an investment vehicle.

We make no promises of:

  • Financial returns
  • Price appreciation
  • Guaranteed profits
  • Investment gains

Tokens have utility within the ecosystem, but should not be purchased solely for investment purposes.

Only participate if you believe in the mission.

Can I make money from this?​

Potentially, but that's not the goal.

Possible income sources:

  • Sell Mushroom NFTs on marketplace
  • Provide liquidity (earn fees)
  • Contribute to community (earn DM/MDAO)
  • Participate in crowdsale (if PSILO appreciates)

But remember:

  • Crypto is volatile
  • Prices can go to zero
  • No guarantees
  • Focus on the spiritual value

Only invest what we can afford to lose.

What are the risks?​

⚠️ Important Risks:

  1. Smart Contract Risk - Bugs could cause loss of funds
  2. Market Risk - Token prices could drop to zero
  3. Regulatory Risk - Laws could change
  4. Liquidity Risk - May be hard to sell
  5. Project Risk - Team could fail to deliver
  6. Volatility Risk - Prices fluctuate wildly

Mitigation:

  • Professional security audits
  • Open-source code
  • Transparent governance
  • Conservative approach
  • Community-driven

But risks remain. Participate responsibly.

🙏 Recovery & Spiritual Questions​

Do I have to be in recovery to participate?​

No! Ethereal Offering welcomes everyone:

  • People in recovery (any substance/behavior)
  • Supporters of recovery
  • Spiritual seekers
  • Blockchain enthusiasts
  • Anyone interested in the mission

The 12-step integration is optional - we can participate without engaging with recovery aspects.

Is this compatible with traditional 12-step programs?​

It depends on the group.

Some groups say:

  • "No mind-altering substances" (includes psychedelics)
  • "Keep it simple" (may not embrace blockchain)
  • "Stick to the basics" (may not want innovation)

We say:

  • Psychedelics can be used sacredly
  • Technology can support spirituality
  • Innovation honors tradition

Our approach:

  • Respect all paths
  • Offer an alternative
  • Don't claim to replace AA/NA
  • Complement, don't compete

What about anonymity?​

Blockchain is pseudonymous:

  • Wallet addresses are public
  • Transactions are visible
  • But addresses aren't linked to real names

For true anonymity:

  • Use Aleo privacy layer (future)
  • Zero-knowledge proofs
  • Anonymous voting
  • Encrypted intentions

Protect our privacy:

  • Don't doxx yourself
  • Use separate wallet for recovery activities
  • Be careful what you share publicly
