CityDAO started as an experiment to buy a small piece of land in Wyoming, becoming one of the first DAOs to buy land using the new Wyoming DAO LLC law.

This specific application was popularized by the book Radical Markets by Eric Posner...

Strictly speaking, they are fungible tokens in that each token is no different than another. However, they differ from usual fungible tokens, for example, $ETH or $BTC, in that they represent access to a community or person; they have a social dimension.
