Spice DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization formed to buy Alejandro Jodorowsky’s storyboard collection known as the “Dune Bible,” announced its plan to dissolve. Spice DOA was created to win the auction of a rare copy of the Jodorowsky production manual for a failed earlier production of Dune. To keep from losing the book, they put up about $3,010,750, not including fees, to win the auction. After months of debate, proposals, and unrealized goals, including a planned animated series, distributing copies of the book to its members, and public displays, Spice DAO is shutting down.
