# Appoint Satori as DUNA Reserve Compliance Administrator

## TL;DR

Appoint Satori as a DUNA Reserve Compliance Administrator. This proposal lays out relevant legal guidance, admin responsibilities, and related information for the upcoming DUNA admin term.

The Reserve Compliance Administrators’ duties, responsibilities and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO are enumerated in the Bylaws set forth in [Proposal 727](https://nouns.wtf/vote/727). This proposal contains certain modifications of those duties, responsibilities, and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO that are effective only as to this term as a Reserve Compliance Administrator. (If another Reserve Compliance Administrator is elected, her duties, responsibilities and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO will be determined by the Bylaws, or a DAO proposal that modifies them.) These modifications are in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Bylaws, which states that the DAO may authorize a Reserve Compliance Administrator to exercise rights, powers, and privileges set forth in an approved DAO proposal.

## Introduction

Hey! I'm Satori, a long-time contributor within the Nouniverse and one of the current DUNA Compliance Administrators. I’m applying to continue in the role of Reserve Compliance Administrator.

Over the past year, I have been directly responsible for helping stand up and operate Nouns DAO under its new Wyoming DUNA structure, including navigating the transition from the Foundation to DUNA, coordinating with accounting, legal and tax advisors, reviewing proposals for legal and regulatory risk, and overseeing KYC and sanctions processes. While the Bylaws distinguish the Compliance Administrator and Reserve Compliance Administrator roles, we have operated as a unified, equal admin team in practice, sharing responsibilities to ensure continuity, coverage, and reliable support for the DAO.

I am a professional civil engineer by training, with experience leading cross-disciplinary teams on complex infrastructure projects. I have been an active Nouns community member for over four years and an early contributor to nounish sub-DAOs including Wizards DAO, Gnars, and Lil Nouns. I was a member of Nouncil from December 2022 up until I began my tenure as Compliance Admin in January 2025, have contributed to Builder DAO since June 2023, and was a contributor to The Noun Square from October 2022 through March 2024. I am also the founder of Kendama DAO, a community using kendama to proliferate Nouns and mindfulness through play.

This nomination proposal seeks to continue the work I have been performing during the DAO’s first year as a DUNA. Some of what we accomplished throughout 2025 includes:

- Coordinated legal, tax, and accounting advisors to ensure a smooth transition to DUNA
- Formed the DUNA’s core infrastructure, including EIN, Wyoming virtual office, treasury wallets, admin multisigs, bank account, etc
- Implemented KYC, tax documentation, and sanctions screening workflows for grantees and vendors, including W-9 and W-8 collection
- Established the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process

## Modifications

I am not proposing any modifications to the existing scope of the role at this time. Any future modifications would be brought to the DAO via proposal.

## Closing Statement

I see the Compliance Administrator position as a service role - it exists to help the DAO function responsibly without shifting governance or creative control away from DAO members. My responsibility as admin is not to shape outcomes, but to ensure that whatever outcomes the DAO chooses can be executed cleanly, transparently, and in alignment with applicable regulations.

I’m grateful for the trust the DAO placed in both Index and me during a complex and foundational year as it transitioned to DUNA. I am greatly appreciative of the opportunity and would be honored to continue serving the DAO in this capacity.

***Note:** Only one Compliance Administrator proposal passed in the initial election, leaving the DAO short of a Reserve Compliance Administrator. While my prior proposal received the second-highest number of FOR votes, it did not reach quorum, so I’m resubmitting to ensure the DAO fills both admin positions during the upcoming term. This version reflects a reduced compensation ask, with no changes to scope or authority from the previous proposal.*

# DUNA Context and Admin Info

Nouns DAO has completed its transition from a Cayman Foundation structure to a Wyoming DUNA, as authorized in [Proposal 662](https://nouns.wtf/vote/662). Under the Wyoming DUNA Act:

> "Administrator" means a person authorized by the members of a decentralized unincorporated nonprofit association to fulfill administrative or operational tasks at the direction of the membership (**[Wyoming DUNA Act](https://wyoleg.gov/2024/Enroll/SF0050.pdf)**, 17-32-102. "Definitions(a)(i)"). Additionally, Section 17-32-123. "Selection of administrators; rights and duties of administrators" provides that an administrator will have no authority to act on behalf of the DAO absent specific authorization from its membership.

The DAO now operates as a legally recognized nonprofit association within the United States. This requires ongoing compliance with:

- U.S. federal tax rules
- Wyoming state law
- OFAC and sanctions-related restrictions
- Record-keeping obligations
- Information-reporting requirements for grant recipients

The Compliance Administrator structure exists to ensure that the DAO can confidently and continuously meet these obligations.

## Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Compliance Administrators review proposals, ensure alignment with the DAO Bylaws and U.S. law, oversee KYC onboarding, manage offchain assets, and coordinate with accountants, tax and legal advisors, and other vendors. These responsibilities require continuous monitoring, communication, and coordination. A high-level overview of the workload is below.

**Proposal and Legal Oversight**

- Review proposals for legal, tax, sanctions, and governance risks
- Confirm alignment with Bylaws and U.S. law
- Provide guidance on grant structures and complex proposal flows
- Engage legal counsel only when needed for liability, sanctions, contracts, or governance interpretation

**Grant and Treasury Compliance**

- Collect and maintain required tax documents before disbursement
- Administer sanctions checks and verify grantee eligibility
- Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors on proper categorization and reporting
- Support accurate crypto or fiat payouts authorized by proposals

**KYC and Contributor Onboarding**

- Manage grantee onboarding and verification through Persona
- Assist with technical or verification issues
- Maintain secure compliance records for audits and reporting needs

**Operations and Administration**

- Execute required offchain actions for passed proposals, including agreements and payments
- Manage compliance documentation and secure storage
- Oversee offchain assets and infrastructure such as domains and service accounts
- Coordinate with registered agent and external vendors
- Ensure administrator actions reflect the intent and scope of passed proposals

**Community Transparency**

- Answer contributor questions about compliance and legal processes
- Publish updates, resources, and best practices
- Provide compliance insights to Veto Administrators when needed

The above work enables smooth operations, reduces legal and tax exposure, and ensures the DAO remains transparent and accountable to its contributors.

## Administrator Duties

The Administrator shall fulfill certain administrative or operational tasks required by the DAO by exercising only the powers, rights, and privileges as specifically enumerated via proposals passed by Nouns DAO, including this proposal and the Bylaws set forth in [Proposal 727](https://nouns.wtf/vote/727). The Reserve Administrator acts as an alternate to the Compliance Administrator, ensuring consistent fulfillment of compliance duties and providing advisory support as needed.

Per Nouns DAO [Proposal 662](https://nouns.wtf/vote/662), Administrators "will be responsible for making sure taxes are filed, overseeing KYC of grants, and making sure vetoers are aware of potentially problematic proposals" as main priorities. In accordance with this, the Compliance Administrator's duties shall include:

1. Reviewing each DAO proposal for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the DAO' governing principles. Compliance includes:
   a) Tax compliance and confirming receipt of W9 or W8 tax information for grant recipients prior to disbursement of funds.
   b) OFAC/Sanctions compliance by confirming there is an operational wallet check process.
   c) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. ensuring no illegal activity is included in a proposal).
   The Compliance Administrator shall signal the state of compliance for each proposal using available DAO tools/clients. If the Compliance Administrator deems that a veto should be used on a proposal due to non-compliance or other existential risk to the DAO, they will inform the Veto Administrators promptly for their review. This is a recommendation only and shall not bind the Veto Administrators in any way.
   Additionally, the Compliance Administrator shall have the authority to take all necessary action to ensure compliance with such applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to notifying the DAO of regulatory or legal risks, notifying the Veto Administrator(s), or engaging outside legal counsel and advisors.
2. The Compliance Administrator may coordinate the contracting of a Registered Agent as allows by the **[Wyoming DUNA Act](https://wyoleg.gov/2024/Enroll/SF0050.pdf)**, 17-32-110 "Appointment of agent to receive service of process", and serve as the contact for said agent.
3. The Compliance Administrator shall be responsible for contracting legal and tax professionals, ensuring that taxes are filed, and serving as the DAO's contact with said professionals and related contractors.
4. The Compliance Administrator shall be responsible for the legal enactment of any proposals passed by the DAO such as the execution of contracts or agreements, the opening of bank accounts, or the facilitation of payments of DAO debts or liabilities.
5. The Compliance Administrator shall be responsible for communicating relevant DUNA information to DAO members and facilitating requests for information. Whenever possible under law, information will be made publicly available, preferably onchain.

## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities

During the Administrator's term, to ensure clarity, the Administrator will refrain from voting with their own Nouns and will use a separate administrator wallet to signal whether a proposal is in compliance. They will not vote FOR or AGAINST any proposal, but will communicate on-chain in regards to compliance. They will retain all other rights as a member of the DAO.

Additionally, the Compliance Administrators will avoid voting on Nouns DAO proposals in any subdaos or meta-governance during their term.

The Compliance Administrators may however submit any proposals needed to further the authorized activities noted in this proposal or as needed.

## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing

In order to facilitate payments that can not be made directly in crypto via proposal, the Compliance Administrator will be authorized by this proposal to open a bank account for this purpose. The Compliance Administrator may only pay any specific DAO service providers or bills if authorized to do so via a DAO proposal.

## Indemnification

The DAO shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Compliance Administrator for any debt, obligation or other liability incurred in the course of activities on behalf of the DAO. Note any limitations that may be found in the **[Wyoming DUNA Act](https://wyoleg.gov/2024/Enroll/SF0050.pdf)**.

## Term

The intended term for this role as Compliance Administrator under this proposal is 1 year from the beginning of the compensation stream. The DAO may adjust this term via proposal to remove/replace me as Compliance Administrator. Note: Administrators are independent contractors and not employees of the DAO.

## Additional Governing Documents

Relevant information may also be found in the **[Wyoming DUNA Act](https://wyoleg.gov/2024/Enroll/SF0050.pdf)**, The Bylaws and any proposals passed by the DAO may alter the duties and responsibilities of the Administrator or limit the authorization of Administrator to act.

## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement

The proposed compensation for Satori's role as Compliance Administrator will be 60,000 USDC paid via stream (5,000.00 USDC per month). This stream will be cancellable upon the passage of a proposal to remove and/or replace the Compliance Administrator.

Administrators will be responsible for the purchase of any E&O or D&O insurance if desired. Any other expenses necessary to execute the Administrator's duties will be submitted for authorization via proposals to the DAO.

Following the successful passing of this proposal, the DUNA will enter into an Administrator Agreement with Satori that sets forth the proposed compensation and other terms and conditions of their role as Compliance Administrator.

### Transactions

- Stream 60,000 USDC to safe.0xsatori.eth from 2/1/2026 through 1/31/2027


# Retroactive Reimbursement for Third-Party Production Costs (Nouns Activation)

![image alt](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0585/2590/9078/files/drew_boston_event.gif?v=1739384720)

## Summary

This proposal requests a **one-time retroactive reimbursement of $6,584.71 USDC** to cover third-party production costs incurred for Nouns-related shirts and signage produced by **Stran Promotional Solutions** in early 2025.

The expense was incurred in the course of a Nouns-branded activation involving **Drew Hanlen**, where physical assets were produced and used in good faith to support Nouns visibility. All associated strategy, design, coordination, and production work contributed by Problem was provided without charge and is not part of this request. The billed party did not intend to personally absorb this cost, and the expense remained outstanding following broader program discussions that ultimately did not materialize.

This proposal is narrowly scoped to resolve a **specific, documented external expense** and does not authorize any future work, programs, or commitments.

---

## What was done

- Nouns-branded shirts and signage were produced and delivered for use in a Nouns-related activation.
- Assets were designed, manufactured, and fulfilled by **Stran Promotional Solutions**.
- The work was completed and used as intended at the time.
- An invoice totaling **$6,584.71** remains associated with this production.

---

## Why this is being proposed retroactively

During this period, broader discussions were underway around potential Nouns-related programming involving Drew Hanlen, including Proposals **751** (cancelled) and **764** (defeated). While those proposals did not pass, the physical production work described above had already occurred in good faith and provided tangible value at the time.

This retro request is intended to **close the loop on a discrete third-party cost** incurred during that transitional period, rather than leave the expense stranded or borne personally by the billed party.

---

## Amount requested

- **$6,584.71 USDC**
- Corresponds exactly to **Invoice #546043-1** from Stran Promotional Solutions
- No markup, no labor fees, no additional compensation

---

## Recipient

- **Drew Hanlen (Noun 1240)**
  *(Funds may be used to reimburse the already-paid invoice or paid directly toward settlement of the outstanding balance.)*

---

## Why this is reasonable

- The request is **modest and specific**.
- The work was completed and used.
- The DAO received branding/visibility value at the time.
- **Problem** did not seek reimbursement for any internal labor, design, or production costs associated with this activation.
- This resolves a known externality from an otherwise incomplete initiative.
- No precedent is set for ongoing compensation or future obligations.
- Drew committed to the Nounish mission with his acquisition of **Noun 1240** in February 2025.

---

## Explicit exclusions

This proposal does **not**:

- Authorize any future programs or partnerships
- Compensate for time, influence, access, or advisory services
- Revive or amend Proposals **751** or **764**
- Create any ongoing relationship or expectation

---

## Closing

This is a narrowly scoped retroactive reimbursement to cleanly resolve a documented third-party production expense tied to a Nouns activation. It is intended to close out an outstanding obligation from a prior period, not to reopen broader initiatives or commitments.


# Bixbite For DUNA Admin Reserve + Amend Prop 905 ⌐◨-◨

**TL;DR:** Appoint Bixbite as a DUNA Admin Reserve. This proposal lays out relevant legal guidance, admin responsibilities, and related information for the upcoming DUNA admin term.

The Compliance Administrators’ duties, responsibilities and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO are enumerated in the Bylaws set forth in Proposal 727. This proposal contains certain modifications of those duties, responsibilities, and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO that are effective only as to my initial term as a Compliance Administrator. (If another Compliance Administrator is elected, her duties, responsibilities and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO will be determined by the Bylaws, or a DAO proposal that modifies them.) These modifications are in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Bylaws, which states that the DAO may authorize a Compliance Administrator to exercise rights, powers, and privileges set forth in an approved DAO proposal.

**About Bixbite:** Admin Reserve Qualifications (will disclose entities and references upon request):

- 3 years of Paralegal experience within two different law firms
- Previously held Notary Public License
- Will commit to retesting within 1 month to achieve active status
- Experience in business bookkeeping, tracking state nexus & filing business taxes.
- Experience collecting KYC details for a SOC 2 compliant company.
- Acting Registered Agent for an LLC since 2014
- Acting Registered Agent for an SCORP since 2019

**Proliferation Impact:** While these are items not related to the duties of the position, I think it’s important to show the context of how deeply integrated I am into the Nouns Ecosystem. I have been a loyal member of the Nouniverse for 3.5 years, here's a list of my Proliferation impact from the beginning:

- Hack Week Grand Prize New Contributors Winner
- Selection Committee for Nouns x Everyone
- Prop House Gardener Selection Winner (100% voting record)
- Member of Nouncil (I have a 95.36% voting record)
- Member of Lil Reps & Content Pod before those programs were decommissioned
- Previous Nouns Delegation (Will Price Delegate) & maintained a 89% voting record & 100% for Prop House rounds.
- Volunteered to help the Nouns AU crew at NFT Fest Aus
- Volunteered to help Nouns Fair at ETH Global Waterloo & ETH Global London
- Volunteered & helped coordinate the Nouns Global Pizza Party at Oshi in Melbourne, AU
- Proliferated Nouns & Lil Nouns at NFT Fest Melbourne, Miami at Art Basel, on Hosier Lane in Melbourne known for its street art, ETH Denver, NFT NYC, Consensus, ETH Brussels, BTC Nashville.
- Onboard 12 people to Lil Nouns which gives them exposure to Nouns
- Given feedback on numerous props for Nouns onchain proposals, previous Prop House rounds Garden Rounds.
- Sponsored proposals onchain for Nouns & Lil Nouns
- I have been hosting the Nouncil calls for the last 2 years, with attendance increasing from an average of 20 to \~45, we maxed out on one call with 63, and have even had appearances from Nounders on the call!

As you can see from my voting record, I am rather 50/50 on proposals. I take time to research proposals for accuracy and effectiveness. I will make it my commitment to communicate with full transparency any decision I may have to make.

**Modifications** I believe this role should be introduced to our lawyers, consultants and accountants, attend a weekly sync call with the Duna Admin to stay on top of progress and possibly a monthly sync with accountants as needed. This role can also be forward facing and help field questions from the community for the Admin, and also help to build resources that the community may need to help facilitate proliferation such as working with the Attorneys to create boilerplate contracts DAO members may use for proposals.

Nouns Creator Bus ⌐◨-◨

# Nouns Creator Bus ⌐◨-◨

# Nouns Creator Bus ⌐◨-◨

## A Mobile, Creator-Led Cultural Activation for ETH Colorado

**ETH Boulder (Feb 13–15) + ETH Denver (Feb 17–20)**

Produced in partnership with [OnchainCreators](https://onchaincreators.xyz/)

Theme: **Do Good, Have Fun**

![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A59dadf70-5f94-490b-93b7-dcc9ad687474%3APOAP_322.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-80fd-85b6-cb0f633fcfde&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)

# Summary

This proposal introduces the **Nouns Creator Bus**, a mobile, creator-led cultural activation designed to bring Nouns values into real-world spaces across Boulder and Denver during ETH Colorado.

This is not a transportation service.

This is not a static installation.

This is not a wrapped vehicle parked outside a conference.

The Nouns Creator Bus is a **moving cultural touchpoint** that travels with a cohort of creators as they activate neighborhoods, side events, campuses, cafes, and cultural spaces throughout the city.

The bus is the recognizable totem.

The creators are the activation.

The Rally Challenge is the core.

---

## What the Nouns Creator Bus Is

The Nouns Creator Bus is a **mobile base for cultural participation**, not a destination.

It exists to:

- move through Boulder and Denver alongside creators
- create repeated, human touchpoints with the public
- invite people into Nouns culture through participation, not promotion

The bus makes Nouns visible across the city, but the work happens once we step out into the environment.

We are not waiting for people to come to us.

We are meeting people where culture already exists.

---

## How the Activation Works

### 1. The Rally Challenge (Core Mechanism)

At the center of the activation is a simple, repeatable prompt:

**Show what “Do Good, Have Fun” means to you, here and right now.**

Creators and participants are invited to interpret this in their own voice and medium, including:

- photo
- video
- writing
- mixed media
- short-form documentation

Participation is opt-in and flexible.

Onchain publishing is encouraged but not required.

The Rally Challenge is designed to be:

- accessible to crypto-native and non-crypto-native creators
- rooted in place and moment
- easy to explain in a single sentence

This keeps the activation legible and lowers friction for first-time participants.

![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A42877049-8c44-4528-9472-119987929ea4%3APOAP_111.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-80c6-85f3-ea3d27d0f939&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)

### 2. The Creator Bus as Totem, Not Destination

The bus functions as a **recognizable, recurring touchpoint** across ETH Colorado.

It is intentionally mobile and appears in multiple contexts:

- side events
- cafes
- campuses
- cultural spaces
- neighborhoods around ETH Boulder and ETH Denver

The bus signals that something is happening nearby, but it does not replace the environment.

We do not sit on the bus waiting.

We move through the city doing what Nounish creators actually do.

![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A96f6815d-5239-43da-9f13-07b0db88d7dc%3APOAP_422.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-804b-9e4a-ce3b326a40c5&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)

### 3. Creator Cohort and Onboarding

The activation is led by a cohort of:

- experienced onchain creators
- past Rally participants
- newly onboarded creators encountered during ETH Colorado

These creators act as:

- facilitators
- cultural translators
- first touchpoints into Nouns for new participants

All contributors are onboarded through a lightweight **Creator Brief** that outlines:

- the Rally prompt
- how to participate
- submission guidelines
- examples from prior activations
- how work may be featured or amplified

**Creator Brief:**

Link to Creator Brief [[https://www.canva.com/design/DAGqpZ6hZM0/EXXLRM68H33IJEF1zGTwYQ/view?](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGqpZ6hZM0/EXXLRM68H33IJEF1zGTwYQ/view?utm_content=DAGqpZ6hZM0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h211131e70a)]

This structure keeps participation clear without over-directing creative output.

---

## What Happens in Practice

As the bus moves through Boulder and Denver:

- creators engage people in real conversation
- Nounish gear is distributed as an entry point
- participants are invited into the Rally
- work is documented organically in real time

The activation also intentionally supports **Nounish-aligned side events** and community moments throughout ETH Colorado, including:

- [Lil Nouns Coffee Rave](https://luma.com/mwrynwc1?tk=k5sN57)
- [VibeCheck 4](https://luma.com/wgl394lf)
- creator-led meetups and cultural side events
- additional gatherings where Onchain Creators has been invited to participate or collaborate

The Creator Bus allows Nouns to show up **in support of existing community energy**, not in competition with it.

The focus is on meaningful connection and cultural alignment.

---

## Art Direction and Nounish Presence

All IRL and digital imagery associated with the Nouns Creator Bus will feature **Nounish artwork**.

This includes:

- visual treatments on the bus
- signage and printed materials
- digital assets used in documentation and recaps

Artwork will be created by:

- [Nadie Cito ⌐◨-◨](https://www.instagram.com/non_artist) aka the Nounish Resident artist
- [Camilita](https://farcaster.xyz/camilita), a Nounish Colombian artist

The intention is not branding for branding’s sake, but cultural continuity.

The activation should feel unmistakably Nounish without becoming an advertisement.

## Merch as Onboarding, Not Giveaway

The bus also serves as a **mobile Nouns merch touchpoint**, including:

- Noggles
- Nounish Friends and related gear

Merch is not the core of the activation, but it plays an important role:

- starting conversations
- creating moments of delight
- giving participants a tangible memory tied to the experience

Merch distribution is documented as part of the Rally, turning simple exchanges into cultural moments.

---

## Transportation (Supportive, Not Primary)

Transportation is a supporting function, not the purpose.

When helpful, the bus allows the core creator group to:

- move together between locations
- reduce logistical friction
- maintain momentum throughout the day

This improves collaboration, lowers stress, and creates better conditions for creative work. It is not positioned as a public shuttle or transit service.

---

## Ecosystem Leverage Through OnchainCreators

In partnership with **OnchainCreators**, this activation benefits from existing ecosystem relationships.

During ETH Colorado:

- OnchainCreators are official stewards of the **Creativity Track at ETH Boulder**
- the Nouns Creator Bus operates alongside partnerships with [Base](https://x.com/base) and [Refraction](https://x.com/refraction_irl) during ETH Denver
- Nouns is brought into creator-forward spaces where Onchain Creators has already been invited to participate

These relationships extend Nouns into communities and conversations that already trust the Onchain Creators ecosystem, without requiring additional sponsorship or access negotiations.

---

## Proven Impact (Contextual, Not Primary)

This model builds on prior Onchain Creator Rally activations, including **Devconnect Buenos Aires**, where cultural participation led to meaningful downstream engagement.

One concrete example:

[Atown](https://farcaster.xyz/atown), who was introduced to the ecosystem through the Rally, went on to **bid on and win Noun 1729** shortly after the activation.

This demonstrates a key point:

- this format does more than generate social content
- it converts cultural participation into long-term alignment
- it has direct impact on Nouns adoption and the treasury

This context informs the design of the Colorado activation, but the Nouns Creator Bus stands on its own as a forward-looking pilot.

This conversion story also includes me.

I’m Zenshortz.eth ([Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/davehv/) / [X](https://x.com/zenshortz) / [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/zenshortz)), and I’m an example of what happens when this model works the way it’s supposed to.

I came into deeper Nouns participation through the OnchainCreators ecosystem, saw the vision clearly during ETHDenver last year, and that belief turned into action:

- staying involved
- helping produce OnchainCreators activations in New York and Buenos Aires
- joining Nouns calls and spaces more consistently
- moving from observer to participant
- eventually buying a Lil Noun and now being delegated a full Noun

This is why I believe the Nouns Creator Bus will work in Colorado.

I’ve lived the funnel from culture → participation → ownership, and we’ve seen it repeat across multiple creators.

## About the Proposer

This proposal is being submitted by Zenshortz.eth ([Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/davehv/)/ [X](https://x.com/zenshortz) / [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/zenshortz)), with delegation support from **[Humpty.eth](https://x.com/humpty0x)**.

I’m a creative producer who has been producing **large-scale cultural events since 2016**, and **crypto-native events since 2020**, with a focus on creator ecosystems, real-world community building, and culture-forward activations.

My relationship to Nouns began adjacently. For years, I engaged through trusted proxies and collaborators, helping co-produce Nounish activations alongside community members such as **[BigTrav.eth](https://x.com/BigTrav205)**, including work connected to **Public Nouns**, **Lil Nouns**, and related efforts in Europe and the US.

It wasn’t until joining **OnchainCreators** that I felt a clear sense of agency within the Nouns ecosystem itself.

Helping co-produce the [Onchain Creator Summit at ETHDenver](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bsHyKwtkzz0?feature=share), followed by the [Onchain Creator House in New York](https://www.instagram.com/p/DJZLkF-R_03/) and the [Onchain Creator House](https://www.instagram.com/p/DSTRUSfEsur/) **and** [Onchain Creator Rally](https://www.instagram.com/p/DSvKmbakS6P/) **in Buenos Aires**, made the structure and possibility of the DAO tangible to me. I saw how culture-led participation could translate into real ownership, alignment, and stewardship.

This proposal represents my **first time bringing a proposal to Big Nouns directly**, and it reflects a conscious decision to move from adjacent support to active participation.

My conviction in this model is grounded both in:

- having produced creator-driven activations across multiple ecosystems
- having personally experienced how OnchainCreators can onboard creators into Nouns in a meaningful, lasting way

## Closing

The Nouns Creator Bus is not marketing for marketing’s sake.
It is a commitment to showing up.

It centers people over impressions, participation over promotion, and culture over noise.

This activation introduces Nouns in the way it actually works best:
not as a logo, not as a message, but as a lived experience.

By moving through real spaces with real creators and inviting real participation, the Nouns Creator Bus makes Nouns something you encounter and are drawn to take part in, not something you are sold.

The bus is the recognizable totem.
The creators are the activation.
The Rally Challenge is the core.

This is how Nouns grows!
Through presence, trust, and shared experience in the real world. ⌐◨-◨

# Public Nouns Sculpture at Noyo Gimbal View (Indonesia)

First of all, I sincerely apologize for the mistake in the previous proposal. I understand this caused inconvenience, as everyone needs to vote again on this proposal.
I made a small edit by adding a Nouns barcode to the Public Nouns Sculpture at Noyo Gimbal View proposal.
Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience. 🙏

* barcode and pixel-style “NOUNS” Text: USDC 1,000
Documentation will be shared with the Nouns community
Total requested: USDC 8,500

### Proof of Work & Credibility
I'm Deguma, working on Proposal #814 (Nouns Dragon Booth), which is still active today.

I am the creator of the Nouns Milk Box sculpture, and the creator of the 8 meter high Noyo Gimbal statue.

Prototype of this sculpture is already completed

Important note: maintenance costs for repainting and other things will be borne by Noyo Gimbal View.

## Conclusion
This project brings Nouns beyond the digital space and into a high-traffic public environment, creating long-term, physical visibility for the Nouns brand in Indonesia.

With proven execution, an active public location, and a culturally relevant character choice, this proposal delivers a permanent public good aligned with Nouns DAO values.


# Nouns x Origami Art: Dissolving Borders from Japan to the United Nations HQ (Ver.2)

**tl;dr Funding $42,339 to place Nouns within universities and hospitals as a larger part of a United Nations initiative. We are pursuing additional funding including Art Council in Japan, which could considerably reduce this budget proposed by 50%+**

*Launching this April — we’re running out of time!*

> **Note:** This proposal is **Version 2 of prop920**.
> This is a resubmission that reflects the feedback we received from the previous round.

![IMG_9030 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyjflIVrWg.jpg)

# Key Updates in This Resubmission

## ▼ Marketing Element (Listening to Children’s Voices)

As part of strengthening the long-term impact of this project, we will conduct a simple survey with the children who joined the origami project by asking:

- Where would you like your origami art to be exhibited?
- Who would you like to see your artwork?

We will use these insights to guide our future outreach and exhibition planning.
This project is not intended to be a one-time event — we are building something that can continue and grow over time.

![Untitled - 2026-02-03 12.45.07](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyD5yZkwZg.png)

## ▼ What Matters More Than a Museum Exhibition

More important than exhibiting in a prestigious museum is bringing this work to places like children’s hospitals and elementary schools — where real encounters, learning moments, and opportunities can happen.

In France, we are also planning to present this project at an academic institution.

Our goal is not a one-time event.
We want to create something that stays in the hearts of children with illnesses or disabilities, their families, and medical professionals — and continues into the future.

We believe it is our mission to share with the world, and with the next generation, the **joy of living** and the **role that culture can play**.

We have been continuously involved in children’s hospital exhibitions for the past **[12 years](https://farcaster.xyz/tagawamakoto/0x7c6d280b)**.

## ▼ About Tokyo Tower (World Autism Awareness Day)

On April 2nd, for World Autism Awareness Day, Tokyo Tower will be lit up in blue, and this Origami Project will take place at the same time.

If this proposal is approved, it will be a meaningful opportunity to install **Blue Noggles** simultaneously at both:

- the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, and
- Tokyo Tower in Japan.

We have been involved in this blue art initiative every year for the past **[10 years](https://farcaster.xyz/tagawamakoto/0xe71e8060)**.

# 1. The Mission: United Nations HQ & France 2026

Our goal is to take a grassroots movement born in a local Japanese community and scale it onto the most significant stages in the world. We are carrying the dreams and "proofs of existence" of children in Shizuoka to:

1. **The United Nations HQ (NYC):** A large-scale exhibition to prove that Nouns is a symbol of global peace, inclusivity, and the power of individual voices.
2. **France (Paris/Poitiers):** Collaborative workshops in European Univercity and [gallery](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gjURVpoSQrXpMKY88?g_st=ipc) communities, expanding our circle of co-creation across the continent.

![IMG_9032-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1aDe84rbg.jpg)

# 2. Our Method: Breaking "Boundaries" through Origami Art

To achieve this mission, we use a unique form of "Origami Art." This is not about the traditional craft of folding paper; it is about using 15cm square papers as canvases where individuals draw their dreams, messages, and identities. We then connect thousands of these individual squares to create a massive, unified mosaic artwork.

**The Impact of Our Method:**

- **Children's Hospital (Kirara Class):** We collaborate with children in hospital schools who are physically isolated due to long-term illness. When their art, adorned with Noggles (Nouns glasses), is integrated into a global mosaic, it becomes their "wings" to fly beyond the hospital walls.
- **Elementary Schools & Global Friends:** Last year, a Costa Rican artist joined students at Denbo Elementary School in Fuji City. Despite the language barrier, they created art together on these small squares, naturally dissolving the psychological walls between "local" and "global."

We want to tell these children: **"No matter where you are or what your condition is, you can connect with the world if you have friends."**

Article of Newspaper [https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168](https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168)

# 3. The Origin: A Challenge Born from a Small Studio

This mission is rooted in a journey that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a small studio in Shizuoka, while the physical world was locked down, we discovered the pioneering power of the internet and Web3 (Nouns) to nurture encounters across borders.

Even while physically confined, we took a leap into the unknown. By continuously sharing our thoughts and artworks from our studio in Numazu and public spaces like [CCC](https://www.c-c-c.or.jp/en) (The Center for Creative Communications) in Shizuoka, we earned the trust and empathy of people across the ocean. The "Origami Art" that started in a local studio has now grown into this miraculous opportunity to exhibit at the United Nations.

# 4. Our Team: Multinational Solidarity Bound by "Aspiration"

This project is a testament to the fact that "aspiration" transcends ability and language. We are a team of friends who met through audio-based social spaces (X Spaces) and share a common dream.

- A translator in Kansai who supports us because we are not fluent in English.
- Friends in the US, France, and Costa Rica who gather under the motto: "Let's share the same dream."

Our teammates are more than "helpers"; they are core members who find joy in the act of co-creation. This multinational solidarity — transcending language, borders, and physical distance — is the very essence of what it means to be "Nounish."

# ５. Detailed Mission Budget (USDC)

To execute these large-scale international exhibitions and direct on-site workshops, we require the following operational budget (1 USD = 156.38 JPY).

- **Team Contribution:** We will allocate **0.4 stETH (approx. 1,300 USDC)** — a portion of the 1.03 stETH retro-grant received from [LilNouns](https://lilnouns.camp/proposals/352) for our previous mural production — directly into this project's budget. This demonstrates our commitment to maximizing the impact of this mission through reinvestment.

"ROADMAP"

# 6. Conclusion: Turning Isolation into Pride

Through this project, we aim to transform "isolation" into "pride." When a child in a hospital bed sees their drawing at the United Nations, the world changes for them. By integrating Nouns into this journey, we establish Noggles as a global icon of hope and creativity.

Reduce Minimum Quorum from 10% to 7%

# Reduce Minimum Quorum from 10% to 7%

this proposal reduces the minimum quorum from 10% to 7%,
or from ~127 For votes to ~89 For votes.

this does not affect the Dynamic Quorum coefficient.

with the minimum quorum at 10% and voting token participation at current levels, it is, in my view, too difficult for proposals to pass without the near unanimous consensus of 3-5 large, active voting blocks, including the 43 vote block I control.

reducing the minimum quorum gives some power back to small voters, and blunts the impact of the protocol's governance dilution as designed without raising the auction's reserve to an artificially high price point that would hinder the DAO's ability to continue it's perpetual expansion of the membership body.

🎨 Noundry: Add Castle Head

# 🎨 Noundry: Add Castle Head

*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/69862f428383700d259813f4)*

## Summary

This proposal adds a new **head** trait: Castle

Hello everyone,

This trait is a collaboration between myself, FattyButHappy, and Nadie.

![castle final example](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWZ8q6HoT3N63AVs8MbXCUMu1mBfJwicFgd2SQAwHM6V4/final-castle-1.png)

It started as a re-coloring of sandcastle by Fatty. Changing it from the tan sand color, to a grey castle color:

![OG-Castle](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXPgm7EZzZLjJvNMqSUWDQ9zyPUr6W6VnbvK2F9tREMaa/00.png)

I remixed his creation on Noundry to make it more square like a traditional castle with battlement, flags and draw bridge (flags based on pirate ship):

Nadie saw the potential in this trait and fixed the battlement, giving the outside that classic castle overhang at the top:

![remix-3-the-magic](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrzvy65P5tJFAhFghejzGFyj9Kqe555puZTiP6VXhrbj/magic.png)

We then went back and forth for weeks (months?) with remixes (there must be at least 17 previous versions -- some deleted now):

![all-castles](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXEZA1BtUKsBdQHq14ctBcepZ5kgnK6mYyL4wyaaSfBGP/0-all-castles.png)

I really liked Nadie's v6 of the head and I decided to dive back in and adjust a few elements..

Most notably I changed the overhanging battlement a bit more, to give the head a slight turn to the right (the way the noggles are looking), instead of having the centerpoint wider making the head seem more straight-on.

![final remix](https://images.hive.blog/DQmR4ohyhwVkNVoTXhu9Sbg3voXxotNAmZbPMujayt8aA8X/Screenshot%202026-02-07%20at%201.15.26%E2%80%AFPM.png)

I think we've landed on a version that works well for the collection.

Thank you for the consideration <3

Your bois, Mike, Fatty, Nadie

Hi, it’s me again — Nadiecito — here once more to try and prove that Nouns is an infinite collaborative artwork.

Everyone wears caps. Everyone knows the sting when one goes missing.

As a Colombian communications graduate from Cali, I've always been drawn to the semiotic power of everyday objects: how a simple cap—just an accessory—can carry unexpected layers of meaning depending on the context.
![513235-la-gorra-0-1000-0-1500-crop](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1oni_dw-e.jpg)

When I was younger I watched "La Gorra" (2008) a low-budget Colombian drama directed by Andrés Lozano Pineda, co-produced with community leader Lupe Ocampo, and shot in the barrios of Dosquebradas (Risaralda) as part of an audiovisual workshop with at-risk youth. Featuring non-professional actors from the local community, it's based on real events and captures the raw reality of neighborhood conflicts without any professional polish.

The plot follows Michael, a young man who has his yellow cap stolen on his way home from school. He tells his older brother Johan, who sets out to retrieve it, but the incident quickly escalates into a deadly feud between two rival gangs, leading to deaths, revenge cycles, and a notorious real-life resolution involving the women of the gangs declaring a "legs crossed" strike—no intimacy until peace is made.

****A cap is just a cap—protection from sun and rain, a bit of personal style—yet in certain realities it can spark conflict, signal identity, or trigger deeper, tragic stories.****

**Everything can, and maybe should, be a Noun.**

# Add Banana Split Head to the Nouns Collection

### Summary:
This proposal adds a new head trait: Banana Split

![Banana Split b](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1pBNFOD-x.png)

As a kid growing up in the heat of Cali Colombia, a Banana Split was the most expensive, eye-catching treat at the neighborhood ice-cream shop: a banana split in two as the base, three scoops of ice cream (strawberry and chocolate among them), chocolate syrup dripping generously over everything, and that bright red cherry on top. My mom couldn’t afford it every day, but when she did, every dripping bite felt like pure luxury.

I want people who grew up treasuring those rare Banana Split moments—who still smile remembering the taste—to have a head in the Nouns collection that brings back that childhood joy.

**Everything can, and maybe should, be a Noun.**

Treasury Management

# Treasury Management

This proposal deploys a significant portion of the DAO’s idle ETH into productive staking while maintaining meaningful liquidity for future proposals. Specifically, the DAO currently holds approximately 597 ETH in its treasury. Under this proposal, 500 ETH will be staked via Lido to receive stETH. After receiving stETH, the position will be wrapped into wstETH, a non rebasing version of stETH that eliminates unnecessary taxable events triggered by daily staking rewards. Following this transaction, the DAO will retain approximately 97 ETH in native form to preserve flexibility for future proposals.

There is an additional \~1.94 stETH in the treasury which is not wrapped, but will also be wrapped via this proposal.

In addition to the staking actions, the proposal includes a transfer of 200,000 USDC from the Nouns DAO Treasury to the Nouns DAO Payer to clear outstanding debt and provide a buffer for future proposals requesting USDC.

# Supporting 364+ days of new daily Nouns art

Proposal: Supporting 365+ More Days of Daily Nouns Art\*\*

**. Summary**

I am requesting support from **Nouns DAO** to continue my commitment to creating **daily Nounish artwork** by upgrading my tools and building a dedicated art workspace. For the past **365+ days**, I have created and shared a Nouns-inspired art piece every single day—from physical paintings and collectibles to digital illustrations.

[https://youtu.be/NFtccMPoNd4?si=kMq3yhoOtxko4XIx](https://youtu.be/NFtccMPoNd4?si=kMq3yhoOtxko4XIx)

To sustain and elevate this artistic journey, I am requesting funding for:

- A **professional digital sketchpad/tablet** (iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11)
- A **stylus pen**
- A **standard work table and ergonomic office chair**

These tools will significantly increase the **quality, creativity, and consistency** of the daily Nouns artwork I produce while expanding the Nounish presence across social platforms.

**Background**

My name is **WalkWithGod**, also known as **Sickadannewyork** and **Onemanaboveall** across the art community. I have been an artist my entire life working across painting, hand drawings, sculpture, woodwork, leather craft, and digital illustration.

Over a year and a half ago, I transitioned into digital art. Shortly after, I discovered **Nouns**, their culture, their aesthetic, and the mission of empowering creativity across the world.

The Nounish universe deeply inspired me. Since then, I have created a **Nounish art piece every day for over a year**.
I also participated in **Flows.wtf**, where I created physical Nouns art and gifted pieces to strangers spreading the story and culture of Nouns beyond digital borders [https://youtube.com/shorts/zjYrfJ35H5Q?si=SGoanfuVBYNYK4w7](https://youtube.com/shorts/zjYrfJ35H5Q?si=SGoanfuVBYNYK4w7)

This daily Nouns art practice has made me not only a more consistent artist but also a happier and more fulfilled person.

  **The Opportunity**

Despite producing daily work, I currently create **entirely on my phone using my fingers**. This greatly limits:

- the quality of details
- the complexity of ideas I can execute
- the ability to produce animations
- my speed and consistency
- comfort during long sessions
- opportunities for experimentation

A dedicated digital art workstation with proper tools will transform my workflow, increase output quality, and allow me to produce richer Nounish content.

This proposal aims to create a **Nounish Art Studio Space** that supports:

- higher quality illustrations
- more complex animations
- daily consistent production
- visibility for Nouns
- onboarding new audiences
- deeper creative exploration
- long-term artistic sustainability

**What the Funding Will Provide**

**Tools Requested**

| Item                                             | Purpose                                                                 | Cost   |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| iPad Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 (with stylus) | Professional digital sketchpad to improve quality, speed, and precision | $1,215 |
| Standard Work Table                              | Stable workspace for daily art routines                                 | $70    |
| Ergonomic Office Chair                           | Comfort and posture support for long drawing sessions                   | $80    |

**Total Requested: $1,360**

These tools will directly translate to:

- Higher-resolution artworks
- Smooth animation capability
- Faster workflow
- Better physical comfort
- A professional, dedicated “Nouns Studio” environment

**Deliverables**

I commit to the following once funded:

**Daily Output**

- \*\* Daily Noun 0’Clock art; A new Nounish art piece every day for another full year\*\*
- Posted consistently across my social platforms
- Always tagging and highlighting NounsDAO communities

**Monthly Deliverables**

- **A monthly recap** summarizing artworks, experiments, and creative progress

**Community Value**

- A **public-access folder** containing the daily artworks for the Nouns community to use, remix, and build upon
- **10 documentation posts** showcasing the setup of the new workspace, crediting Nouns DAO

**Visibility & Outreach**

- Celebrating **Noun O’Clock** with daily drops
- Expanding visibility across Instagram, X, Farcaster, and other platforms
- Continuing to onboard new curious viewers into the Nouns story through consistent artistic presence

**Timeline**

- **Week 2 after funding**: Purchase all equipment and set up the dedicated Nounish studio
- **Immediately after setup**: Begin producing upgraded daily Nounish pieces
- **Monthly**: Share recap posts
- **Ongoing (365+ days)**: Deliver daily Nounish artworks

**Links & Portfolio**

- X (Twitter): [https://x.com/s_sicka](https://x.com/s_sicka)
- Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/abovealloneman](https://www.instagram.com/abovealloneman)
- Base Profile: [https://base.app/profile/sickadannewyork](https://base.app/profile/sickadannewyork)

These platforms host my existing Nounish artwork, physical pieces, daily posts, and community engagement.

**Why This Matters for Nouns DAO**

Supporting this proposal means:

- **365+ more days of Nounish art** a full year of daily culture creation
- Consistent visibility of Nouns across major platforms
- High-quality digital pieces instead of limited mobile drawings
- Organic onboarding of new people into Nouns through art
- Strengthening the culture of creativity Nouns exists to fund
- Empowering a long-term creative contributor in the ecosystem

This is a **small grant with high cultural output**.

  **Closing Statement**

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue contributing creatively to the Nouns ecosystem.
This support would transform my ability to produce high-quality, consistent, and expressive Nounish artworks daily.

I am fully committed to:

- authenticity
- consistency
- creative exploration
- community visibility
- Originality

Thank you for considering this proposal and for supporting artists who help bring Nouns culture to life.

# Nouns Artist Residency — 6 Month Extension

### TL;DR

I’m requesting 4.8 ETH to extend my Nouns artist residency for six months.
I will continue creating nounish artwork, proposing new heads, developing characters and lore, collaborating with nouners, and expanding Nouns Colombia as a broader regional cultural platform.

Check [propdate](https://propdates.nouns.wtf/prop/840) on #840

## Proposal

The past months of my residency have been incredible. I’ve spent over two years getting to know the community, building deep and valuable friendships, and immersing myself in the culture of Nouns. I was already deeply connected and committed, but traveling to Argentina in November, being present at the Nouns booth at DevConnect, and meeting so many members in person strengthened that bond and reinforced my love for the community. Being recognized as the Nouns artist resident and connecting with people face-to-face has made me even more motivated to continue contributing. I am deeply grateful for the trust and space the DAO and community have given me so far — it has allowed me to grow as an artist and as a participant in this ecosystem.

Over the next six months, I will continue my artistic exploration within Nouns, developing characters, lore, and visual work that strengthens the language of the ecosystem. Inspiration will come from conversations, calls, community interactions, and moments within the DAO, allowing me to create pieces that are meaningful and relevant for the community. Nouners can reach out to me when they need artwork to support their projects, and I will also produce work that complements executed proposals — reflecting the sentiment of the DAO, enhancing visibility, and adding artistic depth where it is meaningful. Whether for official Nouns social channels or to enrich ongoing initiatives, my aim is for the art to live alongside the community and the culture.

When moments call for a portrait, a meme, a poster, a visual narrative, or something unexpected, I want to respond in a way that is playful, resonant, and connected to the ecosystem.

The transition from @ferianounish to [@nounscolombia](https://instagram.com/nounscolombia) on Instagram has been an important step forward. This change expands the vision beyond a single event and allows us to cultivate a broader regional platform for artistic collaborations, audiovisual projects, murals, workshops, cultural activations, and future editions of the fair. This period is particularly important because Feria Nounish Vol. 3 is planned for the second half of the year, and the work done now will help lay the foundations to make the event bigger and stronger than before.

I’m excited to continue growing within the community and outwardly — carrying forward the discourse of creative optimism that defines Nouns into the local and regional artistic ecosystem. I want to translate this energy into tangible cultural presence, contributing both to the people and the projects that make Nouns what it is. I’m asking for the stability to continue doing this work with focus, consistency, and the creative freedom to respond wherever the community needs me.

I’m currently building a small website that will function as a living “Nouns Residency Portfolio” — a timeline-style review of my work during the residency, alongside curated galleries of past and current nounish pieces. The idea is not only to document what has already been done, but to create a space that can continue growing: featuring CC0 works, commissioned pieces, collaborations, Nouns Colombia activations, other artists, and future events.

I’m still figuring out the technical side — this is actually my first time seriously building something like this — but I’m committed to making it happen because I believe the DAO deserves a clear, accessible visual archive of the work produced through this engagement.

I’ll share progress as it develops.

### Budget

4.8 ETH for six months of dedicated artistic contribution.

Daily Nounish Doodle

# Daily Nounish Doodle

I'd like to propose a three-month daily art project for Nouns.
Every day I will create 1 nounish doodle artwork (1080x1080px) in an abstract, random, hand drawn style.
Each artwork will always include a variety of "noggles" elements as a visual signature.

What I will do :
1 original doodle every day
For 90 days (3 months)
Style : abstract, random, nounish
Format : 1080x1080px
Always includes a “noggles” detail
CC0 (public domain)
With total of 90 artworks
Daily distribution on: [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/mindtoasted.eth) - [Twitter (X)](https://x.com/Mindtoasted0x) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/mindtoasted) I will also try to vibe code a [website](https://mindtoasted.xctx.io/) to display the artworks, and try to keep updating the progress on propdates.

Goal :
To contribute to Nouns culture through consistent daily visual creation, creating CC0 cultural assets open to everyone to use, remix, and share.
