11/The $PDoT smart contract implements several @OpenZeppelin libraries including ERC20Permit and ERC20Votes, giving the token a range of potential utility.

For example, an Issuer could start a DAO and use $PDoT as the governance token.

13/So what is Public Domain Token for?

Anything!  Or nothing!  You decide!

The token is completely open and permissionless, so what happens next will be completely dependent on whoever takes an interest and decides to do something with it.

14/Public Domain Token started as a thought experiment turned practice exercise turned side project.

It's provided as-is, unaudited, under an MIT license.

Fair warning - I am not a professional dev. 

Use at your own risk.

15/ $PDoT has no owner authorizations and its parameters can’t be changed. 

It’s intended to be an immutable, ungovernable, decentralized, and open token.

It is highly experimental.

16/In the spirit of decentralization, there is no official frontend for the token. 

You can interact with the smart contract via Etherscan or RPC.

Or you can make your own frontend. 

You do you.

17/There is no official Discord, Telegram, Whatsapp, Farcaster, Telegram, or any other social media account for Public Domain Token.

People are free to create their own groups around the token if they want, but note that none have any more or less authority than any other.

18/I will not be seeding any liquidity for the token.

Users can create their own liquidity pools if they want to trade the token. 

I urge people to follow security best practices and keep an eye out for classic rug pools and scams.

As always, never share your wallet keys.

19/The token will be low float at the outset, most likely extremely volatile, and may very well end up net inflationary if Issuers aren’t sufficiently motivated to burn.

At heart, this is a social experiment. Don’t treat it as anything other than that.

20/People will run with it - or they won’t - but either way, it's out there and available now for anyone to do with it what they will.

12/The interface IPublicDomainToken exposes the core public token functionality and also inherits from IERC20, IERC20Permit, and IVotes. 

It also exposes useful getter functions such as getIssuerMintFactor(), getIssuerMaxMintable(), getIssuers(), and getExpiredIssuers().
