{"id": 786, "title": "Fixing The Flywheel: Lending Alongside Spending", "description": "# Fixing The Flywheel: Lending Alongside Spending\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/g0DrHvQ.png)\n\n## TLDR\n\nNouns DAO is invited to lend 420,000 [USDS](https://sky.money/) to [International Meme Fund (IMF)](https://imf.bz), a crypto-native credit union building Community Coordinated Credit on Ethereum. The funds earn \\~20% APY in USDS from borrowers using [MOG](https://mogcoin.xyz) as collateral, secured by [Morpho's](https://morpho.org/) robust and battle-tested infrastructure. This is not a grant. It\u2019s a trustless, reversible loan. Nouns earns yield, supports a culturally aligned protocol, and helps close the loop. Laying the foundation for Nouns to fund ideas. **And be funded by them.**\n\n## Context\n\nNouns DAO has led the way in funding public goods, memetic culture, and internet-native identity. But with a shrinking treasury and limited value returning from funded proposals, it\u2019s time to explore new [Nouns Break Even](https://www.nouns.camp/topics/0x39a7ea92f59d74a950e4a08990519ee44ef3abc0-nouns-break-even-movement) aligned approaches. Not to replace grants, but to complement them. \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/iOzclsY.jpeg)\n\nThis proposal acknowledges a critical gap in the original [Nouns Virtuous Cycle](https://medium.com/@punk4156/the-nouns-virtuous-cycle-95586bb9c7c9) described by [4156](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/4156.eth). Without mechanisms for accountability or value feedback, the current cycle breaks down. By introducing onchain credit, Nouns can upcycle its coordination engine. Proliferating not just memes, but momentum.\n\nAs an [early contributor](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/gami.eth) to Nouns and founder of [Gnars](https://gnars.com), I\u2019ve watched this experiment grow from day one. This proposal offers a courageous but clear next step. IMF delivers new infrastructure for Nouns to back its mission with capital coordination.\n\n[IMF Credit](https://docs.imf.bz) is a protocol that empowers anyone to unlock credit using any token as collateral. It\u2019s built for coordination, not extraction. It\u2019s secured by Morpho Blue, Ethereum\u2019s most respected modular lending infrastructure. IMF Credit includes Pools, Loans, and Yield, enabling cultural communities to coordinate capital without selling their assets.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/pWWYkaT.jpeg)\n\n## What We\u2019re Proposing\n\n- Convert 420,000 USDC into USDS (a stablecoin issued by Sky, formerly Maker DAO) \n- Lend this 420,000 USDS to the MOG-USDS market in the IMF protocol \n- Earn approximately 20% APY, paid in USDS (adaptive curve [interest rate model](https://docs.morpho.org/overview/concepts/irm/)) \n- Funds remain under DAO control and can be withdrawn via a follow-up proposal \n- Upon proposal execution, 2% of the total $IMF token supply will be transferred to the Nouns DAO treasury, representing a 2% ownership stake in the protocol \n\nThere are no intermediaries. No multisigs. The DAO interacts directly with the protocol.\n\n## Mechanics\n\nHere\u2019s what happens on execution:\n\n- Nouns converts 420,000 USDC to [USDS](https://sky.money) \n- 420,000 USDS is deposited into the **MOG-USDS market** on [Morpho Blue](https://morpho.org) \n- Market is **isolated.** Only affects MOG-USDS pair, and no other token or protocol \n- Borrowers post **MOG** as collateral and draw USDS up to **77% LLTV** \n- Secured by a dedicated oracle and comprehensive liquidations infrastructure \n- Nouns DAO earns **real interest** from these borrowers. No emissions, no gimmicks \n- Interest rates are **adaptive**, based on market demand ([IRM model](https://docs.morpho.org/overview/concepts/irm)) \n- Yield is paid in USDS and accrues to the DAO owned position \n- DAO can withdraw its funds at any time via a follow-up proposal \n- **No multisig, no custodian, no offchain process** \n\nThis is trustless, reversible, and secured by Ethereum\u2019s best infrastructure.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/SWFalvZ.jpeg)\n\n## Why It Matters\n\n### Earn Yield, Not Dilution\n\nNouns doesn\u2019t need to spend ETH to support coordination. It can put its stablecoins to work, earning yield while supporting a culturally aligned protocol built to serve memecoin economies and internet-native communities.\n\n### Credit as a Complement to Grants\n\nThis proposal doesn\u2019t replace grants. It complements them. Builders who hold $NOUNS could borrow against it to fund ideas, repaying over time. This aligns incentives, creates measurable accountability, and adds a sustainable new layer to Nouns\u2019 funding ecosystem.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/FyqUlor.jpeg)\n\n### Cultural Synergy with Mog and IMF\n\n[Mog coin](https://mogcoin.xyz)\u2019s aesthetic and community are deeply inspired by Nouns. The artist behind Mog\u2019s rebrand, [Mike Three](https://twitter.com/enjoyoor), is a Nouns fan who credits Noggles as inspiration for the Moggles, the Pit Viper sunglasses now iconic in Mog culture. [Ripe](https://x.com/ripe0x), a prolific Nouns builder and smart contract artist, and [Batz](https://x.com/batzdu), a celebrated artist and [new Noun owner](https://x.com/batzdu/status/1882109879437103527), are also active in the Mog ecosystem.\n\nNouns and Mog are part of the same cultural movement. IMF Credit empowers Mog. This proposal links all three and proves what coordinated credit can unlock.\n\n### Backing Ethereum-Native Coordination\n\nIMF is one of four launch partners of [Salutary](https://salutary.io), a new onchain standard for tokens with credible economic structure. The $IMF token doesn\u2019t pay dividends. Instead, protocol revenue is reinvested in growth. If someone wants to acquire the protocol, they must acquire 51% of the supply. This introduces a real, onchain acquisition mechanism. It brings the \u201cthreat of takeover\u201d dynamic from equities into crypto.\n\n### Built on Battle-Tested Infrastructure\n\nIMF Credit is secured by Morpho Blue. It\u2019s modular, immutable, and already supports billions in total value locked. When the DAO deposits USDS, it does so directly, securely, and without custodial risk.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/k01Qrbk.png)\n\n## Risks & Transparency\n\nWe take risk seriously. Here\u2019s what Nouns DAO should know:\n\n- **Market Risk**: If the value of MOG drops significantly, borrower positions may face **partial liquidation**. These events protect lenders but could reduce borrow demand or slow repayments. \n- **Oracle Risk**: Each market uses a dedicated oracle. If compromised, it could misprice collateral. Morpho mitigates this through isolated markets, robust oracle feeds, and comprehensive liquidations infrastructure. \n- **Liquidity Risk**: Withdrawals depend on available liquidity. In high utilisation scenarios, some USDS may be temporarily locked until borrowers repay or new deposits enter. \n\nNouns DAO retains full control of the funds. No trust is required. All value flows onchain.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/cj5VEpU.jpeg)\n\n## Trustless. Immutable. Audited.\n\nIMF Borrow and Lend are powered by [Morpho Blue](https://morpho.org/), the most secure and flexible lending infrastructure on Ethereum. Morpho currently secures over $4.2B in deposits and $1.7B in active loans, with all markets isolated, immutable, and free from governance risk.\n\nMorpho\u2019s contracts are [formally verified](https://docs.morpho.org/overview/resources/formal-verification/) and have undergone [25+ independent audits](https://docs.morpho.org/overview/resources/audits/), with an active [bug bounty on Immunefi](https://immunefi.com/bug-bounty/morpho/information/). There are no upgrade paths or privileged access. Just smart contracts that work as designed.\n\nWhile not directly used in this proposal, the Pools component of IMF Credit is also undergoing multiple audits and has its own [bug bounty program through Hashlock](https://hashlock.com/bug-bounty/imf), further reinforcing IMF\u2019s commitment to secure, onchain coordination.\n\nBy leveraging Morpho Blue, IMF Credit delivers high-yield lending with the assurance of battle-tested, transparent, and decentralized infrastructure.\n\n## Detailed Transaction Breakdown\n\n1.

In future, Nouns DAO can:\n\n- Seed a NOUNS/USDS Pool in IMF Credit, to earn fees and unlock lending market \n- Enable builders to borrow against $NOUNS instead of relying solely on grants \n- Activate treasury-held NFTs and other assets as productive collateral \n\nThese outcomes will emerge. The only question is whether Nouns leads the way.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nThis is a moment to be bold. To experiment with conviction. To evolve what funding looks like in the Nouniverse. IMF has been building Community Coordinated Credit from the ground up since our inception at the ETHGlobal Sydney hackathon, May 2024.\n\n[International Meme Fund](https://imf.bz) offers Nouns DAO a new tool. It\u2019s a way to coordinate value without giving it away. This proposal requires no trust, no permanent treasury depletion, and opens doors for future innovation.\n\n**Credit is a weapon.

Each of the featured events target specific sentiments shared originally in the quote by 4156. Some are familiar with it, but most people new to NOUNS are not. Certainly we can all agree that live music, flowers, skateboarding, coffee, art with your friends sure sounds like a lot of fun.\n\nThe events featured in OFFCHAIN are designed to offer an alternative path for non-crypto natives to engage in crypto culture without the tech part having to be the feature or selling point. \n\nWith that said, the UFO mini app on Farcaster is an open source repo. They're shipping it as a public good for the ecosystem which allows our more technically savvy audience to experiment and make it work for their own projects.\n\nWe\u2019re onboarding artists, DJs, and creators from outside the crypto scene, but more importantly, teaching them how to continue thriving through participation and accountability. Whether indirectly or not, Nounish influence has already impacted this very prop, with many of the involved builders being a part of nounish communities or even nouns themselves.\n\nPlans to expand #OFFCHAIN to coincide with other events throughout the year are already under way, with interest in broadcasts druring FEST Idyllwild, Art Blocks MARFA, and Art Basel Miami, giving us the chance to align nouns with more of the adjacent cultures that are proliferating their own narratives #onchain.\n\nWe can't expect everyone to understand what it means to be #onchain overnight, but we can still create bridges for them to cross over when their values/interests start to align. Let's show them the diversity of interests that can exist when we choose to see though the nounish lens.\n\n---\n\nProposal drafted by Trevor Banta, Nick Hollins, Chic Bangs, Malcolm Levy, and Raf Kats.", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 790, "title": "Nouns Pok\u00e9mon, retro-fund and fund the end of our journey!", "description": "# Nouns Pok\u00e9mon, retro-fund and fund the end of our journey!\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/8hDqHtg.png)\n\n# TLDR: \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/omNMMTJ.jpeg)\n\nWe are the Nouns Pok\u00e9mon team [https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/91](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/91); the longest-standing esports team under the Nouns banner. With a proven track record of competitive success, we have solidified Nouns as a household name within the Pok\u00e9mon community.

At this point it's natural for us to demonstrate the value of nouns, crypto and web3 as a whole.\n\nWe are also proud to say we are involved with governance within the Nouns ecosystem. ADESu has joined the Nouncil as an active member, and we have been delegated a Noun by Nouns.gg via a round to allow us to participate in a greater way.

We cut pizza cost from $55k to $49k, Nounish Merch from $20k to $12k, and Nounish Coordination/Activation/Video Production from $13k to $4k.\n\nIncorporating feedback to find additional ways to onboard to Nouns (at no additional cost), we added a governance activation with Nouns Builder. To make sure Nounish SubDAOs are still highly involved in the global event, we'll coordinate with them separately to fund their activations.\n\n---\n\nOn May 22, 2025 (Bitcoin Pizza Day), PizzaDAO will organize our fifth annual Global Pizza Party. This year, we're bringing the party to 420 cities across more than 100 countries, expecting a combined total of over 25,000 guests worldwide. That's nearly double the size of last year's event, which took place in 200+ cities across 80+ countries with over 15,000 guests. Here's 2024's [map](https://map.pizzadao.xyz):\n\n![global pizza party map](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJmHGSoTkg.jpg)\n\nWe invite the global Nouns DAO community to join our celebration for the third year in a row, continuing to make history together and building on what we've learned collaborating on proposals [284](https://nouns.wtf/vote/284) and [522](https://nouns.wtf/vote/522). The $65,000 requested will go towards buying pizza, supporting Nounish Captains, and sending Nounish party kits all over the world.\n\n### \ud83e\udd1d Why Nouns DAO + PizzaDAO?\n\nPizza is a noun, after all. We show the world that you can put any noun in front of DAO and build towards everyone's idea of what a DAO for that noun would be. Together, PizzaDAO and Nouns DAO remind everyone that strangers can come together through the power of memes, the internet, and the blockchain and make wonderful things happen.\n\n[Nouns DAO + PizzaDAO:](https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s)\n\n[![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy9oWO7Ckg.png \"https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s\")](https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s)\n\nPizzaDAO Governance Crew votes regularly in Nouns governance with Noun 292, serving as a portal into Nouns for PizzaDAO's community.\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyuDevipkx.svg \"PizzaDAO's \\\"We Pizza\\\" Noun 292\")\n\n\ud83d\udc4b **Who are we?**\n\nWe are a global community of builders, pizza enthusiasts, creators, collectors, artists, and rebels who believe in using crypto to make the world a better place.\n\nPizzaDAO is made up of new entrants to the industry as well as crypto veterans, including Nouns DAO members, CryptoPunk holders, Gitcoin KERNEL Fellows, and builders of all kinds. This unique mix makes our events ideal onboarding environments. Today, PizzaDAO alumni work on countless other projects in the crypto space, a direct result of our commitment to education and fun!\n\n[Learn more about PizzaDAO in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4):\n\n[![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1NaNq_61l.png \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4\")](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4)\n\n### \ud83c\udf10 Our Impact\n\nTo date, PizzaDAO has given away over $1,000,000 worth of real, edible pizza in more than 80 countries and built a global community thousands strong. You might have shared some pizza with us during previous global pizza parties, at our crypto conference side events, or at one of the many smaller events we've supported. We\u2019ve thrown four global pizza parties, organized 42+ crypto conference side events, and built strong partnerships with many organizations across the onchain ecosystem.\n\nSome numbers:\n\n- Over 300,000 slices served \n- Over 500 pizzerias supported \n- Presence in 80+ countries \n- Thousands of people onboarded to web3 \n\n### \ud83c\udf55 Our Model\n\nPizzaDAO came together in February 2021 with 314 contributing artists to create the generative pizza NFT Rare Pizzas and throw a Global Pizza Party with the sales proceeds.\n\nOur long-term goals are to make the global pizza party mainstream, tokenize pizzerias and pizzeria real estate, and build an open source pizza francheese.\n\nLook beneath the hood of our pizza party planning by visiting:\n\n- [cities.pizzadao.xyz](https://cities.pizzadao.xyz) (list of cities where events will be hosted) \n- [host.pizzadao.xyz](https://host.pizzadao.xyz) (guide for event hosts) \n\nand beneath the hood of PizzaDAO by visiting:\n\n- [crew.pizzadao.xyz](https://crew.pizzadao.xyz) (our working groups) \n- - PizzaDAO Governance Crew has a lot of fun voting in Nouns DAO during its calls on Mondays 4:30pm EST! \n- [manual.pizzadao.xyz](https://manual.pizzadao.xyz) (our SOPs) \n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83e\udee1 Nounish Coordination\n\nThe past two years, PizzaDAO coordinated our Nounish Global Pizza Party activities internally. This year, as we continue to scale, we're bringing on [Mono](https://x.com/0xMonografia) as a dedicated central organizer for all the Nounish activity around the day.\n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83d\ude9a Nounish Distribution\n\nIn [our last proposal](https://nouns.wtf/vote/522), we promised to deliver Nounish gear to 16 cities for 2024. We way over-delivered on this: we sent Nounish kits to 53 cities! Each city received some combination of Big Shot's Plastic Noggles, Pins, and Toys, Big Shot's Paper Noggles that we received as part of [Prop 334](https://nouns.wtf/vote/334), and Motivate's Plastic Noggles.\n\nBig Shot's [Lo-Fi Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-paper-glasses-50-pack) and [Plastic Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/functional-nounish-funglasses-red) make for great group photos and Motivate's Plastic Noggles and Big Shot's [Noggles Pins](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-glasses-100-pack) offer the longest-term return as recipients tend to wear them again at future events. This year, we'll focus on distributing [Big Shot's Lo-Fi Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-paper-glasses-50-pack) and [other Nounish gear](https://bigshottoyshop.com/collections/nouns) to the largest events and Motivate's Plastic Noggles and [Big Shot's Noggles Pins](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-glasses-100-pack) to the others. Full details in the budget section at the end.\n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83e\udec2 Nounish Community\n\nAs part of 2024's proposal we funded [Nouns Breakers](https://x.com/nounsbreakers) to perform, [Nouns E-Sports](https://nouns.gg/) to set up gaming stations, a [Prop House](https://prop.house/0xb021b6c6a34c0410b614ded1709c3cd075a147d2) for Africa's events, and a [Nounish art contest](https://nifty.ink/?platform=niftyink&startDate=2024-05-16&endDate=2024-05-23) on [Nifty.ink](https://nifty.ink) (this one below was our favorite):\n\n![pizza genesis](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJpph4opkx.png)\n\nThis year, we'll work with Nounish SubDAOs to fund their own activations within pizza day:\n\n- [Gnars DAO](https://gnars.com): We'll do a competition for skaters to olly pizza boxes at our events, like Vlad did in [this video from ETHDenver 2024](https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35).\n \n [![gnars](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Byhn_s2aJg.png \"https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35\")](https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35) \n- [Nouns Amigos](https://www.nounsamigos.com/): Local members will organize Nouns Amigos trivia at events all across LATAM.\n \n ![nounsamigos](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ry5Pajh6ye.jpg) \n- [Nouns Builder](https://nouns.build/): As an educational experience, we are going to launch a Nounish DAO using Nouns Builder and airdrop governance tokens in this new DAO to all our party attendees. Individual cities will then submit props and have all holders vote on their favorite. The idea is to both introduce the Nounish DAO mechanism while distributing funds to sponsor activations after Pizza Day to continue the fun. \n- We want to have many other Noun communities and projects at the pizza parties and are in touch to define their collaboration: Lil Nouns, Public Nouns, Yellow Collective, Nouns Brasil, Based Nouns, Kendama DAO, pNouns, Nouns Malaysia, Nouns Singapore, and Nouns Craft. \n\n**Nounish Captains:**\n\nWe're bringing on dedicated Nounish Captains for as many cities as we can. Nounish Captains commit to:\n\n1. Steward the Nounishness of their party \n2. Make a short Nounish announcement \n3. Be a Nounish ambassador at their party \n\nWe have 42 signed up so far, but we'll sign up more as the party approaches. If you want to help lead the Nounish efforts in your city, get in touch! \u2310\u2764-\u2764 \n\n- Abuja, [Gnericvibes](https://x.com/GnericGladhizA) \n- Austin, [willywonka](https://x.com/willyogo) \n- Bagolino, [Fattybuthappy](https://x.com/Fattybuthappyy) \n- Bogota, [Dani B](https://x.com/DanielBR88) \n- Boynton Beach, [Mike Good](https://x.com/GoodBeats) \n- Brussels, [Carlos Melgar](https://x.com/carlosjmelgar) \n- Buenos Aires, [Pauher](https://warpcast.com/pauher) \n- Buzios, [Ricky Day](https://x.com/dayan_ricky) \n- Cali, [Nadiecito](https://x.com/Ningunartista) \n- Chicago, [sqx](https://warpcast.com/sqx) \n- Delhi, [Nikhil](https://warpcast.com/nikhilmahana) \n- Denver, [Brett Draws Stuff](https://x.com/BrettDrawsStuff) \n- Guatemala, [Indeus](https://x.com/indeus777) \n- Hanoi, [Sasquash](https://x.com/PartSasquatch) \n- Hong Kong, [Coral Orca](https://x.com/coralorca) \n- Kampala, [Davin Oyesige](https://x.com/davinoyesigye) \n- Kuala Lumpur, [Voadz](https://x.com/thevoadz) \n- La Paz, [cecisakura](https://warpcast.com/ceci-sakura) \n- Los Angeles, [Creatress](https://x.com/creatressart) + [Andrea Lomelin](https://x.com/lomelinandrea) \n- Maullin, [Atcamo](https://x.com/atcamo_) \n- Medellin, [Platohedro](https://x.com/alexrubeola) \n- Melbourne, [Bones](https://x.com/87B0nes) \n- Mexico City, [Mono](https://x.com/0xMonografia) + [Feru](https://x.com/feru0x) + [Goya](https://x.com/goyabean_eth) \n- Mumbai, [Karishma](https://x.com/KarishmaBagla) \n- Numazu, [Tagawa](https://x.com/Marcot_no1) \n- NYC, [Bixbite](https://x.com/iambixbite) \n- Oakland, [Gramajo](https://x.com/0xGramajo) + [Wylin](https://x.com/ihwylie) \n- Phoenix, [0xJoshua](https://x.com/0xJoshuaSL) \n- Portland, [MetaMu](https://x.com/MetaM00) \n- Portugal, [Greta Gremplin](https://x.com/Greta_gremplin) \n- Quetzaltenango, [DnznJuan](https://x.com/DnznJuan) \n- Salama, [Mart](https://x.com/yo_mmart) \n- San Diego, [Lorenzo](https://x.com/lorenzos_spot) \n- San Francisco, [Rachel](https://warpcast.com/rachelonchain.eth) \n- Santiago, [Menta](https://x.com/MentaJengibre2) \n- Sao Paulo, [blessskateshop](https://x.com/DesouzaDel1830) \n- Sapporo, [Hiro](https://x.com/hirookokokok) \n- Sevilla, [Adesu](https://x.com/ADESuUnite) \n- Singapore, [Wide Eye Karl](https://x.com/0xwideeye) \n- Swansea, [Cardno](https://x.com/CardnoNFT) \n- Toronto, [Toady Hawk](https://x.com/toady_hawk) \n- Vancouver, [Symbiotech](https://x.com/Symbiotech) \n\nWe'll maintain this list in [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Im4Z7xelACaxReCdzAvKqtjG2mqnHSooiDkqHSmYy1c/edit?usp=sharing) in case it's useful for future Nounish activations.\n\n### \ud83c\udf31 Outcomes\n\n- Nounish community members all over the world meet each other IRL at events in their own cities. \n- Nounish organizations recruit new members and fans by activating within our events. \n- We promote Nouns and the outcomes of past Nounish proposals to the 25,000+ IRL attendees, in our livestream, and on socials. \n- When people ask, \"What does Nouns do?\", \"sponsors a global pizza party\" can be part of the answer. \n- We distribute Nouns merch all over the world. \n- Lots of photos + videos of people having fun wearing noggles \n- The Global Pizza Party dominates the timeline in May. \n- -

We make satirical, comedic productions and have built a strong, engaged community on-stage and online, with an additional **10,000 followers** on social media.\n\n**Challenge** Despite our popularity and positive influence, we've **never received public funding**. Time and again, we\u2019ve been met with feedback like: *Someone has to leave our list for us to support new initiatives.\"* or *\"Just wasn't want we were after this year, try again next year\"*... For 13 years! \n\n- The culture funding grant is a critical \"make or break\" for most theatres, yet **a small cultural elite decides** on the entire regions funding, in a process that lacks transparency. \n- The outdated and unfair approach limits cultural diversity. **We had enough and want to show the world that it's time for a new approach.** \n\n## \ud83e\udde0 Idea Overview\n\n**To produce The Complete Works of Moli\u00e8re \u2013 Nouns Edition**\n\n\ud83c\udfa5**This 2-min video explain our idea best:** \n\n\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49 [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h5cvlkVQHGo](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h5cvlkVQHGo) \ud83d\udc48\ud83d\udc48 \n\nA rule-breaking play where classical theatre merges with meme culture and DAO-funded storytelling, blending fiction with reality and stitching together the past and the present. \n\nThis meta-performance has multiple layers: \n\n- It's a comic portrait of Moli\u00e8re, the 17th-century satire master, famous for exposing hypocrisy in society and poking the French elite. \n- At the same time, it tells the true story of our theatre, denied public funding and saved by a decentralized community. \n- It will also showcase the power of community-driven funding, made real by Nouns community. \n\nWe promise a chaotic, funny, and completely unique show that will also leave the audience with a bigger question: *\"Who controls culture?\"* The perfect way to celebrate Moli\u00e8re\u2019s legacy of critique and reform!\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfaf Goal\n\n1. **Live performances for 7,000 people** over 3 years (based on data from our past shows) \n2. **Social media campaign** to challenge funding models\n Reach **15,000 people** through or own social media channels. Promoting Nouns as an alternative to traditional cultural funding. \n3. Broaden reach through **media and public engagement** Engage **10,000 people** via news-& radio appearances, public events, and business/community interactions. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Team\n\nLead by: Kerstin Team: Magnus, Maja, Tobias and Johan. Production will feature the same producer and cast from our most recent show, brining continuity, chemistry and proven talent to the stage. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udcc5 Funding and Execution\n\n**What Is Our Ask?:** We\u2019re seeking **$40,000** to cover core production costs: scriptwriting, stage design, actor- & producer salaries, marketing, costumes, and travel. Cost beyond this will be covered by the theatre.\n\n**Why Will This Work?** \n\nWe\u2019re an **experienced, established theatre** with a track record of bold, successful productions. This show **builds on our hit \u201cComplete Works of William Shakespeare\u201d, seen by over 5,000 people** locally and now touring Sweden to audience acclaim. Production will feature the same producer and cast from our most recent show, bringing continuity, chemistry, and proven talent to the stage. Our community is ready and eager for what\u2019s next.\n\n**Timeline:**\n\n![IxBNPJtl](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S12kkTwJge.jpg)\n\n| Stage: | Key Activitites |\n| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Production | Script writing, creative development, rehersals, costumes and stage design |\n| Marketing | Bold social media campaign highlighting the flawed cultural funding system and showcasing nouns. Satirical videos and behind the scene content. We have 10.000 followers and will also leverage local newspapers, radio and business events. |\n| Performance & Impact | Live performance for 7000 people (based on data from current show). 2 years performing at own venue and 1 year on tour. Leveraging relationsships with teater around Sweden that we built with current tour. |\n\n## \ud83e\udde0 Value for Nouns Community?\n\nWe\u2019re confident this show will be something very special, but we\u2019re also committed to bringing value back to the Nouns community. We anticipate strong interest both on and off stage, generating great exposure for the Nouns community over a long period. We think we could bring uptp **850 new members** on discord and **265 new active members.**\n\n**How did we get to this?**\n\n- **140 people generated from watching live performance** Audience reach: 7000 people (based on data from our current show). Estimating 40% reads pree-show material, that 20% scan post-show QR codes, that 5% joins discord and that 2% becomes active members. \n- **250 people from Marketing and Debate Campaign** Reach: 25000 people \n - 15,000 via own social media (Based on 10,000 followers with continuous posts over 3 years and \\~50% additional organic reach through shares, tags, and reposts) \n - 10,000 via local media & events (Reach through local radio, newspapers, and business events) \n - Estimating that 2% joins discord, that 1% becomes active members. \n\n---\n\n## \ud83e\uddea More about us\n\n2L\u00e5ng was founded in 2013 and is located in central Gothenburg, Sweden. In addition to our productions, we offer acting- and improv courses to 500 participants annually. We also operate a resturant and bar. \n\nWe are 5 founders, Johan, Kerstin, Magnus, Maja and Tobias. We come from different backgrounds but jointly shares the passion for creating inclusive and entertaining culture free of prestige. We are happy when we can make people play, laugh and connect.

The expectation is 2 pieces of content per person each month with compensation of $150 a month to each contributor (so $75 each piece) - **the only requirement is that the content is totally original and created specifically for Nouns DAO but it can be any form**. The creators can mint or share however they like, and the @nounsdao account can either RT or create an original post. I hope everyone will also share on Farcaster in addition to whatever minting platforms, if decide to mint (maybe share in [/noc](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/noc) \ud83d\ude3b).\n\nI believe this is a fun, low cost experiment to see how a decentralised team can contribute to the production of high quality, engaging social posts for Nouns. I hope this will foster a mutually beneficial relationship between the DAO and these creators (only two of them own Nouns currently) boosting their social presence and boosting the community involvement with the Nouns DAO X account. The mediums/styles/individuals are all wildly different and that is why it feels nounish to me.\n\nThis is a 3 month trial, and I have reached out to these creators, thus forming a list of 13 individuals who are actively making beautiful things. At the end of the 3 months, we can review collectively how it went, and make adjustments where necessary e.g. add/remove people, change the compensation etc. I will also commit to helping the creators and personally posting monthly propdates throughout this trial period. This payment is to a 0xsplits contract that they are all equal recipients of, see more details here: [https://app.splits.org/accounts/0x8ACAB8Bb0dF9dd1F1F6b30FAEfC254667041410a/?chainId=1](https://app.splits.org/accounts/0x8ACAB8Bb0dF9dd1F1F6b30FAEfC254667041410a/?chainId=1) - I wanted to stream the payment but I believe will run into issues with the 0xsplits address trying to claim from the stream contract. There is also a limitation to how many txs within a Nouns proposal too (10 - maybe 5 for a stream), hence choosing 0xsplits. Whilst I try and work out a more elegant solution, I am OK with proposing this as a single payment upfront for the 3 month trial.\n\nBelow is a list of the recipients and links to their Farcaster +

Prop 776, we wanted to build out a sustainable version of Flows *while also supporting existing grantees*. The DAO's breakeven movement made it clear they don't want to fund outright philanthropy. So -- we want to pivot.\n\nA full reset. New Flows, new requirements, new tools for builders. Fully focused making each Flows project self-sustainable. We plan to restructure Flows so that builders can work together to earn money via commerce and donations. We are still working out the exact details, and need runway to experiment. \n\n**Our goal:** make all Flows funded projects self-sustainable, and give upside to Nouns.\n\n> *An onchain Y Combinator for grassroots projects.*\n\n# Flows currently\n\nImagine Flows is a company. We have 17 departments. Each department has 10-20 people. Every person is working on their own thing. No one is working together. If Nouns' superpower is parallel processing, we must get people working together towards shared growth and sustainability.\n\n**A small (non-exhaustive) example of what we want to build:** we get artists to work with product people to help the public goods builders sell T-Shirts to help sustain their work. Everyone gets a split. People work together, not alone. \n\n# The good news\n\nNouns provides the ideal environment for onchain entrepreneurship to flourish\n\n- Passionate community willing to try what you create \n- Beautiful brand to build on \n- Initial funding to get started \n- Smart people willing to help you build \n- Public goods alignment better than a B-Corp \n\n> We believe Nouns can be an incredible incubator for onchain projects.\n\nWe want to incubate projects, help them earn revenue for the entire Flows system, cut Nouns some upside, and ultimately make all of these small-scale Nounish projects sustainable. \n\n# Funding request\n\n$16k USDC a month to continue building Flows, split between riderway and rocketman ($8k a month per person) for 5 months. \n\n$10k USDC to cover legal advice and tax expert consultation to ensure we structure Flows compliantly. Any unused funds from this allocation will be returned to the DAO.\n\n$15k USDC to stream out to projects that are building towards sustainability.\n\nTotal ask: $105k USDC\n\n# Revnet Model\n\nOne idea we want to explore: helping projects launch revenue-backed tokens (revnets) and split issuance with the broader community. \n\nWe've been working with jango.eth from Juicebox for a few months to workshop what a revnet enabled Flow would look like. We are still unsure on the exact specifics, but are sharing some potential models.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/ZEmLVSJ.png)\n\nCheck out a more in depth view on this [Figma](https://www.figma.com/board/hsO8a2NXBCZaNml8kMUNMZ/Welcome-to-FigJam?node-id=0-1&p=f&t=IpAuhnZ7kHnGpzTL-0). \n\nWhile we are not exactly sure what the final form will look like, we hope this provides some more insights into our approach for those interested. We commit to publicly workshopping these parameters with anyone who cares to participate. ***We also commit to splitting a min. of 10% of revnet tokens with Nouns DAO proper.*** \n\n# Our final ask\n\nWe view Flows as the only project on the table with a chance to change the DAOs downward trajectory. Hoping to sustain auction revenue by funding one off projects did not work with $50m in the treasury, and likely won't work for $6m unless we make a big change. We believe Flows can be that change. We desperately want Nouns to succeed, it is too special.\n\nWe love Nouns. We have been building for you all for nearly 3 years now.\nWe care about this community deeply. We will not propose again after this.\n\nhelp us bring the makers together and complete the virtuous cycle\n\n- rocketman \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 795, "title": "Nouns infra & dev tooling revamp + Bounty program pilot", "description": "# Nouns infra & dev tooling revamp + Bounty program pilot\n\n## TL;DR:\n\n- Stream volky.eth $18k over 3 months to work on:\n - revamping nouns.wtf & nouns.center \n - modernizing development tooling \n - establishing a clear process and guidelines for community contributions \n- Retro-comp volky with 1 Noun for the work done over the past month on [prop 773](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/773) \n- Set aside $2k for community contribution bounties \n\n## Who\n\nvolky.eth \ud83d\udc4b more context on [prop 773](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/773)\n\n## What\n\nThe plan is: I'll do a lot of work upfront to update nouns.wtf + nouns.center, tidy up the codebase and modernize the tooling, dependencies and contribution practices.

50% from New Zealand, the great land of the Kiwi.\n\nThe Kiwi bird is pretty nounish: they're an odd one, really...\nFlightless, with rare fur-like feathers, they like to eat worms, and lay eggs at an absurd egg-to-body ratio.\n\nThis Kiwi Noun head is sitting (which is very cute) but its also staring suspiciously (also cute (probably)).\n\nI don't believe the Nouns art collection has any references or represetnation from New Zealand, so let's sort that out, ey?\n\nI am a firm believer Nouns should pay for significant (eg. new head) art submissions to the protocol. In lieu of this, I suggest a 2 ETH donation to [Save The Kiwi](https://savethekiwi.nz/) (a New Zealand national conservation trust) [via Every Org](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ahr9qgq1uji0f5rbf2wxh/Screen-Recording-2025-05-12-at-10.36.30-am.mov?rlkey=osieed5cypk2jrt677v4mn7qy&dl=0).\n\n## Nouns Art Contribution Agreement\n\n **Signer**:\n\n```\n0x021edd67d43B365a6401a5Ee704Aa6f264F3F4e4\n```\n\n **Message**:\n\n```\nI, goldy, hereby waive all copyright and related or neighboring rights together with all associated claims and causes of action with respect to this work to the extent possible under the law.\nI have read and understand the terms and intended legal effect of the Nouns Art Contribution Agreement, available at https://ern3fbtsj23a2achuj5kqa4xtp2yvplqjy2r6cemo6ep52lfn2cq.arweave.net/JFuyhnJOtg0AR6J6qAOXm_WKvXBONR8IjHeI_ullboU, and hereby voluntarily elect to apply it to this contribution.\n\nContribution name: Kiwi-sitting-v9 head\nContribution specification: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACAAAAAgCAYAAABzenr0AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAO9JREFUWEdjZBhgwDjA9jMMfQfM7cv7n1w0iRFGkxqiVAkBci0HOZYsB4AsxOZTUEjQPARwWQ6zmFRHkORiQpaT4wiiHPB+bSM4yNc9fMuQVDiRgZGRkWFuXx7O0CYlFDAcALMMm+kgBxADKHIAIQuoHQ1ERQGyo4aMA0COJiYqaBYCg8IBxDiCpiEwKBxAyBE0DwGqOODsxNz/xvmTwY7Flw2vn5rPoGmWyACjiSma8YYAqFQUDK5nBDkAZNiFv7iVk2M53uoYvUgmthhGLrQoLgdgIUCoeKZEnuRESIll2PSOOmA0BEZDYDQEBjwEAJkDciFQ8lB1AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\n```\n\n **Signature**:\n\n```\n0x3b5ae2869ad559e8f568620abf55138c08cfa13d7834f771510c44ecb149eec225847e27578d280cf438258d28c48b874f0f72c6c33333f1a1128bf88a9adcab1c\n```\n\n You can verify the signature using [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/verifiedSignatures) or any other [EIP-191](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-191) verification tool", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 797, "title": "Nouns DAO x PizzaDAO: Global Pizza Party 2025 (Final Attempt)", "description": "# Nouns DAO x PizzaDAO: Global Pizza Party 2025 (Final Attempt)\n\n**Updates:** we significantly cut the budget again, from $65k to $42,069. We cut pizza cost from $55k to $26,069 and kept our Nounish activation budget ($16k) the same. This will support Nounish parties in 50 cities.\n\nIncorporating feedback to find additional ways to onboard to Nouns (at no additional cost), we'll do a governance activation with Nouns Builder and encourage Nounish captains to participate in a collaborative Noggles art piece. To make sure Nounish SubDAOs are still highly involved in the global event, we'll coordinate with them separately to fund their activations.\n\n---\n\nOn May 22, 2025 (Bitcoin Pizza Day), PizzaDAO will organize our fifth annual Global Pizza Party. This year, we're bringing the party to 420 cities across more than 100 countries, expecting a combined total of over 25,000 guests worldwide. That's nearly double the size of last year's event, which took place in 200+ cities across 80+ countries with over 15,000 guests. Here's 2024's [map](https://map.pizzadao.xyz):\n\n![global pizza party map](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJmHGSoTkg.jpg)\n\nWe invite the global Nouns DAO community to join our celebration for the third year in a row, continuing to make history together and building on what we've learned collaborating on proposals [284](https://nouns.wtf/vote/284) and [522](https://nouns.wtf/vote/522). The $42,069 requested will go towards buying pizza, supporting Nounish Captains, and sending Nounish party kits all over the world.\n\n### \ud83e\udd1d Why Nouns DAO + PizzaDAO?\n\nPizza is a noun, after all. We show the world that you can put any noun in front of DAO and build towards everyone's idea of what a DAO for that noun would be. Together, PizzaDAO and Nouns DAO remind everyone that strangers can come together through the power of memes, the internet, and the blockchain and make wonderful things happen.\n\n[Nouns DAO + PizzaDAO:](https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s)\n\n[![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy9oWO7Ckg.png \"https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s\")](https://youtu.be/DfrQNic9v7s)\n\nPizzaDAO Governance Crew votes regularly in Nouns governance with Noun 292, serving as a portal into Nouns for PizzaDAO's community.\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyuDevipkx.svg \"PizzaDAO's \\\"We Pizza\\\" Noun 292\")\n\n\ud83d\udc4b **Who are we?**\n\nWe are a global community of builders, pizza enthusiasts, creators, collectors, artists, and rebels who believe in using crypto to make the world a better place.\n\nPizzaDAO is made up of new entrants to the industry as well as crypto veterans, including Nouns DAO members, CryptoPunk holders, Gitcoin KERNEL Fellows, and builders of all kinds. This unique mix makes our events ideal onboarding environments. Today, PizzaDAO alumni work on countless other projects in the crypto space, a direct result of our commitment to education and fun!\n\n[Learn more about PizzaDAO in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4):\n\n[![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1NaNq_61l.png \"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4\")](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNdbUERvVN4)\n\n### \ud83c\udf10 Our Impact\n\nTo date, PizzaDAO has given away over $1,000,000 worth of real, edible pizza in more than 80 countries and built a global community thousands strong. You might have shared some pizza with us during previous global pizza parties, at our crypto conference side events, or at one of the many smaller events we've supported. We\u2019ve thrown four global pizza parties, organized 42+ crypto conference side events, and built strong partnerships with many organizations across the onchain ecosystem.\n\nSome numbers:\n\n- Over 300,000 slices served \n- Over 500 pizzerias supported \n- Presence in 80+ countries \n- Thousands of people onboarded to web3 \n\n### \ud83c\udf55 Our Model\n\nPizzaDAO came together in February 2021 with 314 contributing artists to create the generative pizza NFT Rare Pizzas and throw a Global Pizza Party with the sales proceeds.\n\nOur long-term goals are to make the global pizza party mainstream, tokenize pizzerias and pizzeria real estate, and build an open source pizza francheese.\n\nLook beneath the hood of our pizza party planning by visiting:\n\n- [cities.pizzadao.xyz](https://cities.pizzadao.xyz) (list of cities where events will be hosted) \n- [host.pizzadao.xyz](https://host.pizzadao.xyz) (guide for event hosts) \n\nand beneath the hood of PizzaDAO by visiting:\n\n- [crew.pizzadao.xyz](https://crew.pizzadao.xyz) (our working groups) \n- - PizzaDAO Governance Crew has a lot of fun voting in Nouns DAO during its calls on Mondays 4:30pm EST! \n- [manual.pizzadao.xyz](https://manual.pizzadao.xyz) (our SOPs) \n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83e\udee1 Nounish Coordination\n\nThe past two years, PizzaDAO coordinated our Nounish Global Pizza Party activities internally. This year, as we continue to scale, we're bringing on [Mono](https://x.com/0xMonografia) as a dedicated central organizer for all the Nounish activity around the day.\n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83d\ude9a Nounish Distribution\n\nIn [our last proposal](https://nouns.wtf/vote/522), we promised to deliver Nounish gear to 16 cities for 2024. We way over-delivered on this: we sent Nounish kits to 53 cities! Each city received some combination of Big Shot's Plastic Noggles, Pins, and Toys, Big Shot's Paper Noggles that we received as part of [Prop 334](https://nouns.wtf/vote/334), and Motivate's Plastic Noggles.\n\nBig Shot's [Lo-Fi Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-paper-glasses-50-pack) and [Plastic Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/functional-nounish-funglasses-red) make for great group photos and Motivate's Plastic Noggles and Big Shot's [Noggles Pins](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-glasses-100-pack) offer the longest-term return as recipients tend to wear them again at future events. This year, we'll focus on distributing [Big Shot's Lo-Fi Noggles](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-paper-glasses-50-pack) and [other Nounish gear](https://bigshottoyshop.com/collections/nouns) to the largest events and Motivate's Plastic Noggles and [Big Shot's Noggles Pins](https://bigshottoyshop.com/products/nouns-glasses-100-pack) to the others. Full details in the budget section at the end.\n\n### \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \ud83e\udec2 Nounish Community\n\nAs part of 2024's proposal we funded [Nouns Breakers](https://x.com/nounsbreakers) to perform, [Nouns E-Sports](https://nouns.gg/) to set up gaming stations, a [Prop House](https://prop.house/0xb021b6c6a34c0410b614ded1709c3cd075a147d2) for Africa's events, and a [Nounish art contest](https://nifty.ink/?platform=niftyink&startDate=2024-05-16&endDate=2024-05-23) on [Nifty.ink](https://nifty.ink) (this one below was our favorite):\n\n![pizza genesis](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJpph4opkx.png)\n\nThis year, we'll work with Nounish SubDAOs to fund their own activations within pizza day:\n\n- [Gnars DAO](https://gnars.com): We'll do a competition for skaters to olly pizza boxes at our events, like Vlad did in [this video from ETHDenver 2024](https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35).\n \n [![gnars](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Byhn_s2aJg.png \"https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35\")](https://youtu.be/AV45WXiGcAk?si=XtXFa94hP_rH892e&t=35) \n- [Nouns Amigos](https://www.nounsamigos.com/): Local members will organize Nouns Amigos trivia at events all across LATAM.\n \n ![nounsamigos](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ry5Pajh6ye.jpg) \n- [Nouns Builder](https://nouns.build/): As an educational experience, we are going to launch a Nounish DAO using Nouns Builder and airdrop governance tokens in this new DAO to all our party attendees. Individual cities will then submit props and have all holders vote on their favorite. The idea is to both introduce the Nounish DAO mechanism while distributing funds to sponsor activations after Pizza Day to continue the fun. \n- We want to have many other Noun communities and projects at the pizza parties and are in touch to define their collaboration: Lil Nouns, Public Nouns, Yellow Collective, Nouns Brasil, Based Nouns, Kendama DAO, pNouns, Nouns Malaysia, Nouns Singapore, and Nouns Craft. \n\n**Nounish Captains:**\n\nWe're bringing on dedicated Nounish Captains for as many cities as we can. Nounish Captains commit to:\n\n1. Steward the Nounishness of their party \n2. Make a short Nounish announcement \n3. Be a Nounish ambassador at their party \n\nWe have 42 signed up so far, but we'll sign up more as the party approaches. If you want to help lead the Nounish efforts in your city, get in touch! \u2310\u2764-\u2764 \n\n- Abuja, [Gnericvibes](https://x.com/GnericGladhizA) \n- Austin, [willywonka](https://x.com/willyogo) \n- Bagolino, [Fattybuthappy](https://x.com/Fattybuthappyy) \n- Bogota, [Dani B](https://x.com/DanielBR88) \n- Boynton Beach, [Mike Good](https://x.com/GoodBeats) \n- Brussels, [Carlos Melgar](https://x.com/carlosjmelgar) \n- Buenos Aires, [Pauher](https://warpcast.com/pauher) \n- Buzios, [Ricky Day](https://x.com/dayan_ricky) \n- Cali, [Nadiecito](https://x.com/Ningunartista) \n- Chicago, [sqx](https://warpcast.com/sqx) \n- Delhi, [Nikhil](https://warpcast.com/nikhilmahana) \n- Denver, [Brett Draws Stuff](https://x.com/BrettDrawsStuff) \n- Guatemala, [Indeus](https://x.com/indeus777) \n- Hanoi, [Sasquash](https://x.com/PartSasquatch) \n- Hong Kong, [Coral Orca](https://x.com/coralorca) \n- Kampala, [Davin Oyesige](https://x.com/davinoyesigye) \n- Kuala Lumpur, [Voadz](https://x.com/thevoadz) \n- La Paz, [cecisakura](https://warpcast.com/ceci-sakura) \n- Los Angeles, [Creatress](https://x.com/creatressart) + [Andrea Lomelin](https://x.com/lomelinandrea) \n- Maullin, [Atcamo](https://x.com/atcamo_) \n- Medellin, [Platohedro](https://x.com/alexrubeola) \n- Melbourne, [Bones](https://x.com/87B0nes) \n- Mexico City, [Mono](https://x.com/0xMonografia) + [Feru](https://x.com/feru0x) + [Goya](https://x.com/goyabean_eth) \n- Mumbai, [Karishma](https://x.com/KarishmaBagla) \n- Numazu, [Tagawa](https://x.com/Marcot_no1) \n- NYC, [Bixbite](https://x.com/iambixbite) \n- Oakland, [Gramajo](https://x.com/0xGramajo) + [Wylin](https://x.com/ihwylie) \n- Phoenix, [0xJoshua](https://x.com/0xJoshuaSL) \n- Portland, [MetaMu](https://x.com/MetaM00) \n- Portugal, [Greta Gremplin](https://x.com/Greta_gremplin) \n- Quetzaltenango, [DnznJuan](https://x.com/DnznJuan) \n- Salama, [Mart](https://x.com/yo_mmart) \n- San Diego, [Lorenzo](https://x.com/lorenzos_spot) \n- San Francisco, [Rachel](https://warpcast.com/rachelonchain.eth) \n- Santiago, [Menta](https://x.com/MentaJengibre2) \n- Sao Paulo, [blessskateshop](https://x.com/DesouzaDel1830) \n- Sapporo, [Hiro](https://x.com/hirookokokok) \n- Sevilla, [Adesu](https://x.com/ADESuUnite) \n- Singapore, [Wide Eye Karl](https://x.com/0xwideeye) \n- Swansea, [Cardno](https://x.com/CardnoNFT) \n- Toronto, [Toady Hawk](https://x.com/toady_hawk) \n- Vancouver, [Symbiotech](https://x.com/Symbiotech) \n\nWe'll maintain this list in [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Im4Z7xelACaxReCdzAvKqtjG2mqnHSooiDkqHSmYy1c/edit?usp=sharing) in case it's useful for future Nounish activations.\n\n### \ud83c\udf31 Outcomes\n\n- Nounish community members all over the world meet each other IRL at events in their own cities. \n- Nounish organizations recruit new members and fans by activating within our events. \n- We promote Nouns and the outcomes of past Nounish proposals to the 25,000+ IRL attendees, in our livestream, and on socials. \n- When people ask, \"What does Nouns do?\", \"sponsors a global pizza party\" can be part of the answer. \n- We distribute Nouns merch all over the world. \n- Lots of photos + videos of people having fun wearing noggles \n- The Global Pizza Party dominates the timeline in May. \n- - Here's a [sheet of posts](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CbV9YfWzz4lnNvqy-3X1k32SwnhZukebu-I3noY_caw/edit?usp=sharing) from May 2024 adding up to over 1M total impressions (thanks [Lorenzo](https://x.com/CulbertsonTyler) for helping compile!) \n- We get a list of thousands of attendees' emails to follow up with campaigns from Nouns DAO (explicit opt-ins). \n- We deploy a Nounish DAO built with Nouns Builder, airdropping the voting tokens to party guests' wallet addresses. \n\n### \ud83d\udcb0 Budget: $42,069\n\nThe spending below will support 50 cities as part of our Global Pizza Party which will take place in 400+ cities across 100+ countries with over 25,000 guests worldwide.\n\n- Pizza: $26,069\n -

The Nouns Wellness Track creates a daily touchpoint for all Edge Esmeralda participants, integrating Nouns aesthetics and philosophy into their most personal and meaningful experiences.

One pixel at a time, onchain, every day, forever.\n\n![cover_fast](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1qqnhVukg.png)\n\n**TL;DR**\n\nBasepaint is a documentary about pixel artists worldwide who have been collaboratively creating a piece of art online and onchain every day for the past year and a half.\n\nThe film will explore their personal lives, how Basepaint has transformed them, and how they are part of a growing movement that has the potential to continue indefinitely.\n\nThis proposal seeks $19,000 USDC from Nouns to co-sponsor the film alongside Base, Decentralized Pictures (Co-founded by Roman Coppola, with Sofia Coppola on the board, bringing filmmaking expertise and industry credibility), and Pet3rPan.\n\nThe documentary will expose Nouns to a new audience, with distribution through Base, Decentralized Pictures, potential streaming platform deals, global film festival submissions, and presentations at crypto, art and film conferences.\n\n---\n\n**Medium-length documentary film (40-45 minutes) | Ask: $19,000 USDC**\n\n---\n\n\ud83c\udfac **THE PLAN**\n\nOur production will involve over 20 in-depth online interviews with Basepaint artists. We will uncover the most impactful and surprising stories \u2013 those where Basepaint has genuinely transformed an artist's life. Following these interviews, local film crews will capture B-roll and drone footage to visually enrich the narrative.\n\nThe documentary will take viewers on a journey, starting with the fundamental concept of a pixel and progressing to an intimate look at the artists' daily routines within the Basepaint ecosystem. This will be achieved through a blend of graphics, animations, and live-action footage.\n\nOur primary distribution focus will be on the Base ecosystem and Decentralized Pictures.\nWe will also submit the documentary to film festivals, targeting 40 of the best-rated festivals globally.\n\nWe will leverage Base's extensive reach through their website, newsletter, and social channels to ensure maximum visibility within the community.\n\nThe film will also be coined on Zora.\n\nOur ambitious goal is to inspire a significant increase in participation, aiming to 100x the number of artists and 1000x the number of collectors on Basepaint.\n\nThrough this focused distribution and the compelling nature of the story, we believe we will expose Nouns to a very cool new audience within the Base ecosystem and beyond, potentially onboarding new members to the Nouns community.\n\nWe will also explore the potential to reach a streaming platform, further amplifying the film's reach and exposure for our sponsors.\n\nFollowing a Nouns Camp call and taking some feedback onboard, we will actively apply for speech and presentation opportunities at conferences around the world \u2013 specifically targeting crypto, art and film conferences \u2013 to discuss the groundbreaking concept of documentaries funded by Nouns and its partners.\n\n---\n\n\u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 **Why Nouns?**\n\n- Powerful Partnerships: This project brings together Nouns with major players in the crypto and film spaces: Base and Decentralized Pictures. \n- Nouns inspired the Basepaint founders and the project with daily 24-hour mints and the concept of the infinite work of art. \n- Many Nouners and Nounders are big Basepaint fans. \n- We will have the interviewees talk about Nouns while we show Nouns relevant Basepaint themes: \n- Nouns has sponsored 3 days' themes in the early days: \n- [https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/98](https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/98) \n- [https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/99](https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/99) \n- [https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/100](https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/100)\n \n ![bp nouns 1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJ_qYTylgx.png) \n- As did the Yellow collective: [https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/162](https://basepaint.xyz/canvas/162)\n \n ![bp yellow collective tiny](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hkz3tTygll.png) \n- Massive Distribution Potential: The focused distribution strategy leveraging Base's marketing channels offers great reach within a highly relevant audience.\n Plus Decentralized Pictures expertise and experience in the film industry to help us negotiate the best launch strategy for our documentary. \n- Open-source spirit: Basepaint documents an onchain, daily collaborative art project-mirroring Nouns\u2019 and ETH's ethos of public goods creativity. \n- Onchain Presence: Coining the film on Zora. \n- Community growth: By spotlighting pixel artists, the film cultivates new contributors and potential collectors for Nouns. \n- Long-term impact: A documentary lives on forever, continuously drawing attention back to Nouns\u2019 governance model. \n- Broader Exposure: Participation in film festivals and targeted conference presentations will introduce the Basepaint story, and its sponsors (including Nouns), to diverse global audiences in both the traditional film and art world and the wider crypto space. \n- The film will be presented by the 3 main sponsors. We will feature Nouns as a co-presenter alongside Base and Decentralized Pictures in opening credits, promotional art, festival materials and conferences.

We have the opportunity to co-sponsor the event alongside **ENS DAO**, representing the a formal collaboration between NounsDAO and ENS DAO.\n\nThis hackathon gives us a strategic chance to:\n\n- Launch an open-source bounty track focused on building and upgrading Nounish frontends using IPFS + ENS. \n- Educate new developers about NounsDAO infrastructure and decentralized web best practices. \n- Attract developer mindshare and build tooling that outlasts short-term grants. \n- Initiate a lasting relationship with both ENS DAO and Protocol Labs around **public goods funding** and **infrastructure collaboration**. \n\n---\n\n## Proposal Scope\n\n### Hackathon Sponsorship\n\n- **Tier**: Silver (shared between NounsDAO and ENS DAO) \n- **Total Cost**: 10,000 USDC\n - **Initial Contribution**: 10,000 USDC from NounsDAO \n - **Reimbursement**: 2ETH from ENS DAO \n\n### Benefits\n\n- Medium logo placement across websites, socials, and newsletters \n- Dedicated 45-minute workshop hosted by NounsDAO contributors \n- Sponsor bounty pool and participation in Founders Forge curriculum \n- Access to developer leads and project submissions \n\n### Nouns x ENS Track: \"Nouns Frontends, Immutable by ENS\"\n\nParticipants will be invited to:\n\n- Tune or build NounsDAO-related frontends \n- Host the complete UI on **IPFS** (via [PinMe](https://pinme.eth.limo/)) \n- Resolve each site using **ENS domain names** \n- Include toggles to customize **RPC endpoints** and **subgraph keys** \n\nWinning submissions will be awarded bounties and invited to continue working with the DAO for potential long-term support.\n\n---\n\n## Execution Plan\n\n- **Lead**: 0xdusk.eth (coordination with ENS DAO & PL) \n- **Infrastructure Partner**: PinMe (ENS & IPFS deployment) \n- **Hackathon Host**: Protocol Labs (Modular Worlds team) \n- **Co-Funding Partner**: ENS DAO (reimbursing 50%) \n\n### Timeline\n\n- **May 2025**: Sponsorship confirmed and campaign begins \n- **June 5, 2025**: Hackathon launches \n- **June-July 2025**: Track executed, projects submitted, winners selected \n\n---\n\n## Strategic Alignment\n\nThis proposal represents:\n\n- A formal NounsDAO x ENS x Protocol Labs collaboration \n- A kickoff for public goods alignment across naming, infra, and storage \n- A step toward a more resilient, modular, and cross-compatible ecosystem \n- A way to reduce treasury waste by encouraging long-term tooling design \n\nWe believe this initiative sets a strong precedent for recurring collaborations across infrastructure DAOs and positions NounsDAO as a forward-looking force in Ethereum's development ecosystem.\n\n---\n\n## Budget\n\n| Item | Cost (USDC) |\n| -------------------------- | ----------------- |\n| Silver Tier Sponsorship | $10,000 (upfront) |\n| Reimbursement from ENS DAO | 2ETH |\n| Net Cost to NounsDAO | Around $5,000 |\n\nFunds will be distributed to the Modular Worlds hackathon address.\n\n---\n\n## Closing\n\nWe respectfully request the approval of **10,000 USDC** to sponsor this high-impact hackathon track in collaboration with **ENS DAO** and **Protocol Labs**. This will not only produce valuable tooling, but also mark the beginning of a broader strategic alliance to support public goods and infrastructure in Web3.\n\nThank you for your consideration.\n\n\u2310\u25e8-\u25e8", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 802, "title": "Implement Nouns DAO on SafeNotes", "description": "# Implement Nouns DAO on SafeNotes\n\n### TLDR\n\nSupport the deployment of SafeNotes to enhance transparency in Nouns DAO by enabling categorized transaction annotations, fostering trust and accountability across projects.\n\n\n\n# Application video\n\n[https://www.loom.com/share/5fa56fe437e14624bf731f84f68c22f8](https://www.loom.com/share/5fa56fe437e14624bf731f84f68c22f8)\n\n# Idea\n\n### Describe your project in 80 characters or less.\n\nDeploy Nouns DAO on SafeNotes\n\n### What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?\n\nDAOs don't have enough transparency on how funds are being spent, SafeNotes changes that by allowing multi-sig operators a space to add a category and description to each of their transactions.\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nI think this has yet to be solved because there hasn't been a standard implemented yet, SafeNotes seeks to be that standard!\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nWe onboard all Nouns DAO funded projects and allow for more spending transparency across organizations\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nSafeNotes achieves the big thing that it sets out to achieve, a space for annotation of transactions. But I would be open to adding more features that Nouns DAO requests.\n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nI will talk to Nouns DAO teams like the DUNA team to add them to the admin page and allow them to categorize their transactions. Adding Nouns to the SafeNotes homespage and giving individuals admin access.\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nAll admin functions can be performed by the user themself once they have been onboarded. From adding and removing categories, multichain SAFEs, and other admins.\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nI can add Nouns to SafeNotes by next week.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nYes, 2 months. I have learned that lots of community members want their DAOs to have a method for recording transactions in place.\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nI made SafeNotes :)\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nI made it for myself for my own use case at ENS and onboarded Uniswap after I had posted about it on X\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nI have made other projects as well like opgovscore.com\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\nSplit between business partners who developed and designed SafeNotes\n\n# Links\n\n### Project website\n\n[https://safenotes.xyz/](https://safenotes.xyz/)", "category": "Infrastructure & Dev", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 803, "title": "\ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Paper Bag Head", "description": "# \ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Paper Bag Head\n\n*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/65dcae11514534c260b65eab)*\n\n## Summary\nThis proposal adds a new **head** trait: Paper Bag\n\nShowcase Noun\n\n![Showcase Noun](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/preview.png)\n\nTrait artwork\n\n![Trait artwork](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/standalone.png)\n\nCircle crop\n\n![Circle crop](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/lg.png)\n\n![Circle crop](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/md.png)\n\n![Circle crop](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/sm.png)\n\nPalette: 2 colors\n![new part](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/palette.png)\n\n## Playground testing\n\nHere are some auto-generated combinations of the new part with existing Nouns parts:\n\n![Preview 1](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/1.png)![Preview 2](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/2.png)![Preview 3](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/3.png)![Preview 4](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/4.png)![Preview 5](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/5.png)![Preview 6](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/6.png)![Preview 7](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/7.png)![Preview 8](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/8.png)![Preview 9](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/9.png)![Preview 10](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/10.png)![Preview 11](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/11.png)![Preview 12](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/12.png)![Preview 13](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/13.png)![Preview 14](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/14.png)![Preview 15](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/15.png)![Preview 16](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/16.png)![Preview 17](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/17.png)![Preview 18](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/18.png)![Preview 19](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/19.png)![Preview 20](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/20.png)![Preview 21](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/21.png)![Preview 22](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/22.png)![Preview 23](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/23.png)![Preview 24](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/24.png)![Preview 25](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/25.png)![Preview 26](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/26.png)![Preview 27](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/27.png)![Preview 28](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/28.png)![Preview 29](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/29.png)![Preview 30](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/30.png)![Preview 31](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/31.png)![Preview 32](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/32.png)![Preview 33](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/33.png)![Preview 34](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/34.png)![Preview 35](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/35.png)![Preview 36](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/36.png)![Preview 37](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/37.png)![Preview 38](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/38.png)![Preview 39](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/39.png)![Preview 40](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/40.png)![Preview 41](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/41.png)![Preview 42](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/42.png)![Preview 43](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/43.png)![Preview 44](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/44.png)![Preview 45](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/45.png)![Preview 46](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/46.png)![Preview 47](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/47.png)![Preview 48](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/48.png)![Preview 49](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/49.png)![Preview 50](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/50.png)![Preview 51](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/51.png)![Preview 52](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/52.png)![Preview 53](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/53.png)![Preview 54](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/54.png)![Preview 55](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/55.png)![Preview 56](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/56.png)![Preview 57](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/57.png)![Preview 58](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/58.png)![Preview 59](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/59.png)![Preview 60](https://i.noundry.wtf/HbLIf1SEK/60.png)\n [see more previews](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/65dcae11514534c260b65eab)\n\n \n\n ##

We believe this new global economy, powered by Ethereum, will improve how we coordinate and use money, improving transparency, accountability, and decentralization, which are very much needed in this part of the world.\n\nWatch this video to get a glimpse of what we have built! \ud83d\udcfa\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJd32Lz2UIc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJd32Lz2UIc)\n\nWe believe that grassroots movements like Nouns will play a significant role in massive adoption. At Nouns Amigos, we have bootstrapped a grassroots builder community and a decision-making body comprised of builders who have executed proposals, ensuring its growth is rooted in impact, accountability, and ownership.\n\nWe are hard-working builders putting our time and efforts where we believe it's worth it. We aim to connect the region to this new global economy, enhance people's lives, and empower builders to be the change they want to see. We plan to do this with the community at the center, funding creatives, and expanding Ethereum through Nouns.\n\nTo achieve this, we request $95,000 + 1 Noun (566) to seed Nouns Amigos, which will support creative projects aimed at increasing Ethereum adoption through Nouns and making Nouns Amigos the go-to destination for Spanish speakers.\n\nHowever, we won't do this alone\u2014we aim to partner with other DAOs, L2s, wallet providers, exchanges, protocols, foundations, and Web3 companies that share this mission and are eager to expand in the region.\n\nThis is how we plan to do it:\n\n### Expanding Ethereum through Nouns (Grants)\n\nWe'll focus on creative projects that utilize Nouns as a gateway to Ethereum literacy and increase its adoption through practical and actionable initiatives, such as graphic fairs, animation jams, art residencies, music boot camps, dance jams, and collective drops. This means we'll focus on doing and showing, not just telling. Think of Nouns Amigos as a collective of creative builders bringing new talent on-chain who contribute to expanding the network, and Nouns as a movement and visual representation of Ethereum.\n\nThe program will follow a post-funding approach. Grantees will receive support from community members who have executed projects with Nouns Amigos to help them set a solid foundation for impact and potential growth. This, along with milestone-based proposals and constant accountability from the Nouns Amigos Gardeners, will ensure execution, impact, and maximize the use of funds.\n\nWe will look to fund creative projects that invite more creatives to participate in and use Ethereum. Our previous grant season guidelines will serve as the basis for our current guidelines; learn more in the About section below. Still, we'll likely need to make adjustments to comply with the non-profit's requirements (e.g., increased accountability, more substantial proof of work, a mix of upfront and retroactive funding, and a certain level of KYC and due diligence, to mention a few). Grant proposals will come in a Nouns DAO pace fashion, and Nouns Amigos holders will vote on proposals one by one.\n\nGrants will also serve as the proper foundation for developing ideas, testing new concepts, and creating projects that have the potential to evolve into larger, more ambitious proposals.\n\nWe request $50,000 to seed the Nouns Amigos grants program, funds which will be distributed to the community. Nouns Amigos holders will vote on grants. To learn more about how we've done it before, jump to the About section below.\n\nTo enhance the program, we'll seek to partner with other DAOs, L2s, wallet providers, exchanges, protocols, foundations, and Web3 companies in the ecosystem to execute on this mission.\n\nWe are already in contact with several organizations that may be interested in participating in this mission. No closed agreements have been reached yet, but we will communicate them as soon as they occur.\n\n### Expanding Nouns Amigos\n\nBeyond creating an environment and setting incentives for the community to build, we'll ensure there are ways to consume, learn, gather, share, collaborate, and discuss all things Nouns. We are constantly expanding Nouns' footprint in the Spanish-speaking world and attracting new builders and fans.\n\nWe will continue establishing Nouns Amigos as an open and thriving community, ensuring it is the best place for all things Nouns in Spanish. We'll register Nouns Amigos non-profit legal entity (while it might not seem exciting at first glance, this move sets us up to handle the DUNA shift and explore a sustainable path forward\u2014through regional write-off donations and meaningful partnerships); run the grants program and continue accountability measures such as Nouns Amigos Gardeners; develop Nouns Amigos website; hold spaces, livestreams and activate social accounts ([X](https://x.com/NounsDAOAmigos), [IG](https://www.instagram.com/nounsdaoamigos/)); and seek for alternative funding sources and partnerships.\n\nWe request $25,000 to manage the grants program, and most importantly, make Nouns Amigos the gateway to Nouns and the Ethereum ecosystem. The legal entity will manage these funds to:\n\n- Run the grants program and ensure its execution. \n- Follow up with grantees after funding to help grow their ideas. \n- Make partnerships with organizations and seek additional funding sources. \n- Build and maintain the Nouns Amigos website. \n- Ensure accountability measures (e.g., Nouns Amigos Gardeners). \n- Activate Nouns Amigos social accounts to hold spaces, livestreams, post, and repost. \n- Create design and multimedia resources needed to expand Nouns Amigos. \n\nWe request Noun 566 that will be community-owned, and we'll use it to:\n\n- Resume our involvement in Nouns governance \n- Sponsor candidate proposals from the community \n- Delegate it directly to community members \n\nWe request $20,000 to cover legal expenses, including but not limited to:\n\n- Legally register a foreign (non-US) non-profit\\* \n- AML and digital assets compliance \n- Accounting and legal advice \n\n### Notes and Disclaimers\n\n- The Nouns Amigos non-profit will be a foreign (non-US) entity liable for its local jurisdiction's tax requirements. Most likely established in Mexico, aiming to get the legal status to receive tax-deductible donations. \n- The cost of establishing the non-profit is primarily a one-time expenditure. The yearly cost of maintaining it will be considerably lower. \n\n### Outcomes\n\n- Funding opportunities for builders in an underserved region. \n- Grassroots Ethereum adoption in Latam. \n- Potentially scalable creative projects built on Nouns. \n- Nouns Amigos as the go-to place for all things Nouns in Spanish. \n- Legal non-profit suitable to raise funds. \n\n### Total Budget \u2014 $95,000 + 1 Noun\n\n- Grants \u2014 $50,000 \n- Expanding Nouns Amigos \u2014 $25,000 + Noun 566 \n- Legal expenses \u2014 $20,000 \n\n## Funded projects by Nouns Amigos\n\nThese are a few examples of projects funded by Nouns Amigos in the previous grants program.

We are a group of creative builders on a mission to expand Ethereum's reach through Nouns across Latin America since June 2022.\n\nSo far, Nouns Amigos has deployed 100 ETH to 100+ builders through funding rounds (Prop House), Farcaster (Rounds), and grants (Snapshot). These funding mechanisms have created opportunities for people to kickstart ideas, unlocking their builder's mindset and driving Ethereum adoption in Latin America.\n\n![nouns_amigos_data](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJlYxwLWlx.gif)\n\nOver the years, we have established social spaces, including weekly Discord calls and a [Farcaster channel](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-amigos). They have provided a platform for sharing and debating ideas, proposals, and all things Nouns. This has strengthened the community and enabled collaboration between builders.\n\nThe [AMIGO](https://opensea.io/collection/nounsamigos) token, which is earned based on 'proof of work' (introduced in 2023), has generated ownership and a sense of belonging, which encouraged a more critical mindset while voting. We've used this token to determine which projects to fund, thereby spreading the decision-making process among the community. At the same time, the accountability measures we introduced as part of the grants program, such as retroactive funding and Nouns Amigos Gardeners validating milestones in proposals, ensured the resources were used effectively.\n\n> - Milestone-based proposals are submitted to Snapshot, and voted by Nouns Amigos holders. \n> - When a proposal passes, we assign a Nouns Amigos Gardener to follow up and validate milestones. \n> - Funds are deployed retroactively when a milestone is validated as completed. \n> - Nouns Amigos gardeners are holders elected by the community that rotate every three months. \n> - Amigo holders are the builders who won a round/grant and successfully executed their proposal\u2014the community builds and then earns voting power, so we say they earn the token with 'proof of work'. \n\nThe Nouns Amigos community is a consistent group of high-quality builders pushing Nouns forward every day in Latin America. You can follow the community\u2019s activity on [IG](https://www.instagram.com/nounsdaoamigos/), [X](https://x.com/NounsDAOAmigos), and [Farcaster](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-amigos).\n\n![anatomia-burrito](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1BOgDLZel.gif)\n\nCheck our [propdate](https://www.propdates.wtf/prop/468) for a retrospective of Nouns Amigos in 2024 (proposal 468).\n\n[gifs x [bure](https://warpcast.com/bure)]", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 806, "title": "End Period Poverty for Nigerian Girls Through School Outreach", "description": "# End Period Poverty for Nigerian Girls Through School Outreach\n\n### TLDR\n\nImplement a project to provide sanitary pads and hygiene education to Nigerian schoolgirls, reducing period poverty, keeping girls in school, and fostering dignity. Support will enable distribution, awareness, and community engagement, with potential to expand regionally and create sustainable solutions.\n\n\n\n# Application video\n\n[https://www.loom.com/share/31bf0cfd971d46a786f8342bd4cdf20c](https://www.loom.com/share/31bf0cfd971d46a786f8342bd4cdf20c)\n\n# Idea\n\n### Describe your project in 80 characters or less.\n\nPads for school Girls:Ending Period Poverty with Dignity \n\n### What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?\n\nMany schoolgirls in Nigeria miss school during their periods because they can't afford sanitary pads. This leads to poor academic performance,shame and in some cases school dropout.The lack of access to access to menstrual hygiene products keep girls behind and affects their dignity.\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nMenstrual Health is often ignored due to stigma and a lack of funding while some NGOs support the cause,many communities are left behind.Pads are still considered a luxury for low income households and there's no enough awareness about it.\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nThe best case outcome is that hundreds of schoolgirls in underdeserved Nigerian communities will have consistent access to sanitary pads for at least 6months which will help them stay in school,feel confident and maintain dignity.This project could also be a starting point for a larger menstrual health movement.\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nWith 10x the funding amount, I could expand the projects to multiple regions nationwide and partner with local pad manufacturers,introduce menstrual hygiene into school curriculum and establish a reusable pad production to create jobs for women. \n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nThe project will begin with a needs assessment, followed by procurement of pads and scheduling of school outreach programs. I will lead project coordination, vendor partnerships, and school liaisons. If needed, volunteers will help with logistics and pad distribution. A simple monitoring system will track impact and feedback to measure success and guide improvements. \n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nWe\u2019re not just handing out pads, We are using each session to teach proper hygiene, debunk menstruation myths, and foster open conversations that encourage confidence and reduce stigma. Many girls have never had access to this kind of safe, supportive education before.\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nThe project will span 3 months. Month 1: Planning, outreach, and procurement. Month 2: School visits and pad distributions. Month 3: Follow-ups and reporting. Major delays could arise from school calendar conflicts or delivery logistics, but we\u2019ve built in buffer time to accommodate these.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nYes, we\u2019ve piloted this project with 50 girls in a local community. We learned that many girls miss school due to a lack of menstrual products and feel ashamed during their periods. Their positive feedback reinforced the urgency of scaling this project.\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nAs someone who grew up in an underserved area, I understand the pain and silence surrounding period poverty. My community work and project management experience equip me to deliver this project with empathy, efficiency, and real impact.\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nI came up with the idea after seeing how many girls in my area miss school or use unsafe alternatives during their periods. Through community volunteer work and health advocacy, I\u2019ve gained practical insight into the issue and built trust with local stakeholders.\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nI have previously organized a back-to-school drive that provided supplies to over 200 students in my community. It was entirely community-funded and managed, and I coordinated everything from planning to distribution.\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\nThis is a simple breakdown (Total: $10,000):\n\nPad production & procurement: $4,000\n\nSchool outreach & logistics: $2,000\n\nHygiene education materials: $1,500\n\nMonitoring & evaluation: $1,000\n\nStaff & volunteer stipends: $800\n\nAdmin & contingency: $700", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 807, "title": "Burner Hardware Wallet x Nouns", "description": "# Burner Hardware Wallet x Nouns\n\n**Proposal:** Partner with [useburner](https://x.com/useburner) to produce 500 limited-edition Nouns-branded hardware wallets, offered to the community at cost ($20 each), with all sales revenue returning directly to the Nouns DAO treasury.\n\n## Proposal Highlights\n\n- (500 units): Customized burner hardware wallets featuring exclusive Nouns branding with redirect to a website of our choosing. \n- Cost-Effective Pricing: Wallets sold at low entry point, $20 each (payable in ETH or USDC).

The team aims to qualify in multiple categories, promote community projects, and elevate the global recognition of breaking through web3 funding.\n\n\n\n# Application video\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpvatcqt0vw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpvatcqt0vw)\n\n# Idea\n\n### Describe your project in 80 characters or less.\n\nNouns Breakers summer competition in Slovakia\n\n### What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?\n\nWe are a break dancing team mostly based in Latin America where support for artists and athletes or access to grants is very limited compared to Europe or North America. Ever since we got funded through Nouns our team grew and we have been breaking barriers one step at a time, from supporting our local communities to representing and qualifying at top world competitions around the world, our dreams have come true little by little\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nWe are changing the narrative and making history by being the first breaking international team funded by crypto. Mainly for us the biggest challenge is funding but we see the difference ever since the Olympics of Paris 2024 the general public started to understand and appreciate the level of difficulty and discipline it takes to become a professional breaker. Before we used to face lots of discrimination, people thought we where just street kids with no future rolling on dirty floors, but now that Breaking is a recognized around the world things are changing.\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nWe get the chance (again) to represent Nouns and qualify at Outbreak in Slovakia, one of the biggest competitions of the summer season. Last year 2 team members qualified over 500+ bboys from all over the world and we got 3rd place in \"Rep your country\". This year we seek to qualify in both bgirl and bboy categories as well as team crew.\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nWe will execute everything we laid out on prop 749. Not only our team representing professionally world wide but we have big ideas and projects for our communities like: Restoration of public spaces for the young generation, Nouns kids camp, more collaborations with hip hop jams, Nouns Breakers kids TV (an educational breaking youtube channel), Nouns Bootcamp guided by the US Olympians... etc. We have so many ideas and dreams to accomplish. \n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nFunds will directly go to partially support travel expenses of the team like; flights, accommodation, buses or trains. Getting to Banska Bystrica in Slovakia is not easy or cheap, we usually have to fly to Vienna or Budapest and then take a bus or train to Banska Bystrica.\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nHow is breaking judged? Is it the tricks, the originality or who spins on their head the longest??\nNow a days big production events have a judging system scoring: technique, vocabulary, execution, musicality, and originality. Judges use a digital slider to score battles, comparing the breakers in real-time and determining which one is outperforming the other in each category. \n\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nThe competition dates are July 24-27. All footage will be delivered and uploaded by August 10th the latest.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nYes, we have been building with Nouns consistently since January 2023 when we won our first proposal on the very first round of Nouns Amigos. We have learned through hard work and perseverance that anything is possible and thanks to Nouns there's no limits in what we can accomplish locally and globally.\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nThere is no other team doing what we are doing either in web3 or in Latin America. We are an amazing experiment just like Nouns and our expertise has made us a successful one that delivers over and over again!\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nThe idea started in 2022 after witnessing the lack of resources that Bgirl Monse and Bboy Ni\u00f1o Nino faced on their road to the Olympics. This is when Nouns took an interest on what we had to offer and the potential of it. Our actual team is formed by professional breakers with over 20+ years of experience in worldwide championships in the industry.\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nWe successfully completed and over delivered in our on-chain proposal from 2024. I, Andrea have won and successfully executed 4 proposals with Nouns Amigos as well.\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\nFunds will be used to help the team partially cover traveling expenses like: accommodation, flights, buses or trains. Between 1k and 1.3k per member depending if they have no injuries and are fit and able to travel and compete on those dates.\n\n# Links\n\n### Other Links\n\n[https://www.instagram.com/nounsbreakers/?igsh=dzU0d3R2dnM2aDRs#](https://www.instagram.com/nounsbreakers/?igsh=dzU0d3R2dnM2aDRs#)\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uq8KTQiwNw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uq8KTQiwNw)\n\n[https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-breakers](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-breakers)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 809, "title": "Unstake 1,000 stETH", "description": "# Unstake 1,000 stETH\n\nLet\u2019s unstake some of our current stETH to increase treasury diversification options.\nWith the mETH topic suggesting two options, I\u2019m a firm believer in the traditional unstake-and-claim approach.\n\nHere is the first proposal in a two-part, edge-of-your-seat governance week.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 810, "title": "Unstake 1,000 stETH", "description": "# Unstake 1,000 stETH\n\nLet\u2019s unstake some of our current stETH to increase treasury diversification options.\nWith the mETH topic suggesting two options, I\u2019m a firm believer in the traditional unstake-and-claim approach.\n\nHere is the first proposal in a two-part, edge-of-your-seat governance week.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 811, "title": "Solidarity Lunch Box Program", "description": "# Solidarity Lunch Box Program\n\n### TLDR\n\nSupport the Solidarity Lunch Box project to expand its distribution of nutritious meals and essentials to homeless individuals and their pets, combating malnutrition and promoting dignity.

Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nThe Solidarity Lunchbox depends on financial costs so that we can carry out this social work that we do.\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nA project for distributing meals to homeless individuals can have various positive impacts, both for the beneficiaries and for the community as a whole. Some of these impacts include:For the homeless:Regular meals: Access to nutritious and regular meals, improving health and well-being.Dignity: Recognition of the value and respect for human dignity\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nIf we had the funding of 10x, we would produce many more meals, more rations, and increase to 2 distributions per month, we would carry more blankets in every distribution, that is, we would increase everything we already do. And we could also bring milk for infants. ...\n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nWell, today we have a team of more than 12 volunteer collaborators. In the project, no one has a specific role; everyone performs various tasks, especially because we have many tasks to carry out the project, meaning that everyone does a bit of everything.\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nWell, the project has many stages. We start with planning the nutritional menu that will be distributed, then we move on to the shopping list for all the food, both for humans and for pets. On the execution date, we gather for the production of the meals and the assembly of the lunchboxes. After that, we stock the cars with clothes, blankets, lunch\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nIf we have financial support, we will not have delays in the execution of the Project, since today we carry out the distribution once a month due to financial issues, as our operation has a high cost; the more support we have, the more implementation we can increase.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nWe have been running this project since September 2024, and we execute a distribution every month. If we receive significant support, we will increase this distribution. What I have learned during this time is how to execute a project from start to finish, we united the local community, learned to value simple things more, recognized the power that\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nWell, I created the project, and we are executing it with a lot of responsibility and dedication, which is why I can confidently say that I am open to this support.\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nI have always wanted to help people in states of public calamity, but I didn't have the financial means, and through web3 I saw this opportunity without bureaucracy, and that motivated me.\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nThrough good coexistence with the local community, I realized that I could be a leader and, by being aware of the opportunities of web3, I managed to lead a group of volunteers and unite the local community in a single project.\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\nOur monthly spending for the execution of the project is about $350 per month, which is used for purchasing supplies, disposables, water, pet food, and fuel for transportation.\n\n# Links\n\n### Project

Indonesia\n\n### TLDR\n\nSupport the expansion of a Nouns piggy bank coloring booth to educate children and promote Nouns culture, with plans to establish multiple branches and improve product quality. The project aims to create a sustainable, community-driven platform that spreads Nouns values through engaging art activities, leveraging local outreach and innovative design.\n\n\n\n# Application video\n\n[https://youtu.be/T9uEecMZuIc?si=xR4LDXFcgzFYzF8w](https://youtu.be/T9uEecMZuIc?si=xR4LDXFcgzFYzF8w)\n\n# Idea\n\n### Describe your project in 80 characters or less.\n\nTo build and expand a permanent booth for coloring Nouns piggy bank.\n\n### What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?\n\nSince June 2023, I have been running a Nouns piggy bank coloring booth at the Noyo Gimbal View tourist site. To attract children, I set a very affordable price of Rp10,000, which includes the piggy bank they can color and take home.\n\nThis strategy has been effective in drawing visitors, especially children. However, the profit margin is very small after deducting production and material costs. As a result, the development of the booth has been quite slow.\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nYes, I'm just limited by funding.\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nActually, this booth has already made an impact, even in its very simple form. It has provided education for children\u2014teaching them about art, saving money, and introducing the Nouns brand. Once the booth was built and expanded, its appearance became more attractive and comfortable.\n\nThe next target is teenagers. If we can engage with them, the impact will grow even wider and more sustainable.\n\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nIf I receive funding that is 10 times larger, I will open several branches of the piggy bank coloring booths in multiple cities. Additionally, I will improve the quality of Nouns piggy bank production and add more character designs.\n\nMy hope is that Nouns piggy bank products can be shipped worldwide so that everyone can experience the joy of coloring Nouns piggy banks and get to know the Nouns brand.\n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nI have a team of two people responsible for producing the Nouns piggy banks. My home serves as the production site for these piggy banks. Additionally, there is one person who manages the Nouns Piggy Bank booth, along with several colleagues who help market the piggy banks at children\u2019s events in various cities.\n\nFor the construction of the Nouns Piggy Bank booth at Noyo Gimbal View, we have a dedicated team in charge of building the facility.\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nAn interesting operational detail that might not be obvious to outsiders is that our Nouns piggy banks are not just souvenirs, but active tools for spreading Nouns values and characters within the local community.\nThe Nouns piggy bank coloring booth we set up is more than just an art activity for kids\u2014it serves as an entry point to introduce digital culture and Web3 concepts. Children color, take home, and use the piggy banks, becoming little ambassadors who introduce Nouns to their families and neighborhoods. This creates an organic ripple effect of cultural dissemination that may not be visible externally, but is highly effective in expanding Nouns\u2019 reach.\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nThe Nouns piggy bank coloring booth needs to be built or beautified soon because it is located in a tourist spot that requires a more attractive appearance.\n\nMy main goal is to spread the Nouns brand through the piggy banks without any time limits. I do this every day, possibly forever, as it has become a business or work for me.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nI have been working on this project since June 2023 until now. I have learned a lot throughout the process. Children need new and more varied piggy bank models. In addition, the comfort of the booth is important, as well as finding better ways to spread the Nouns piggy banks more widely.\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nWe spread kindness out of love. This is our calling and our work.\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nYes, I have expertise in this field. I come from a background as an artist.\n\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nI have been distributing Nouns piggy banks for almost two years, and the activity is still ongoing. These piggy banks have become like a necessity for children and teenagers. As long as it continues, the spirit will never die.\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\nConstruction of Nouns Piggybank booth (40 square meters): $6,400\nTables, 30 chairs, and cashier desk: $1,000\n3 display racks for Nouns piggy banks: $400\nTelevision for entertainment and Nouns introduction: $300\nElectricity meter: $300\nAdditional Nounish props: $600\nNew Nouns character mold additions: $1,000\n\n\n# Links\n\n### Other Links\n\n[https://x.com/Degudhadharma?t=1GF4qkLMBiFep7o-xGxzzA&s=09](https://x.com/Degudhadharma?t=1GF4qkLMBiFep7o-xGxzzA&s=09)\n\n[https://warpcast.com/deguma](https://warpcast.com/deguma)\n\n[https://www.instagram.com/derrygudhadharma/](https://www.instagram.com/derrygudhadharma/)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 815, "title": "Claim ETH ( 2nd step 810)", "description": "# Claim ETH ( 2nd step 810)\n\n2nd step of proposal 810,\nDue to the 9-day proposals outcome, I've submitted this to get the ball rolling, Will add the correct function, once 810 is executed, in the editable window thus reducing our total time of process. \n\nLido unstake times are currently less than our voting period", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 816, "title": "Stacking Treasury Yield With OETH 2.0", "description": "# Stacking Treasury Yield With OETH 2.0\n\n## Stacking Treasury Yield With OETH 2.0\n\n![pic1](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreihhtxtl753pz2ihvj4wq36iuuqzzesikewvjpyzy3blqla32gtmsm)\n\nRelevant Proposals:\n\nOn Nouns:\n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/18](https://nouns.wtf/vote/18) - Stake 1 eth in Lido\n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/22](https://nouns.wtf/vote/22) - Stake 10% of treasury in Lido\n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/30](https://nouns.wtf/vote/30) - Stake additional 10% of treasury in Lido \n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/52](https://nouns.wtf/vote/52) - Increase Treasury stETH Position to ~20% \n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/217](https://nouns.wtf/vote/217) - Stake additional 5k ETH in Lido\n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/227](https://nouns.wtf/vote/227) - Stake additional 5k ETH in Lido \n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/313](https://nouns.wtf/vote/313) - stETH peg protection \n[https://nouns.wtf/vote/810](https://nouns.wtf/vote/810) - Unstake 1k stETH (to be used for treasury diversification)\n\nOn Lil Nouns:\n[https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/165](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/165) - 1 ETH Experiment: Generating Diversified Yields with OETH\n[https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/203](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/203) - The coveted staking prop \n\n![pic2](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreifwjmga64lsj35dlzzl3ob4qx7r4dsmdzhmfppx4u2kqxhxwse7jy)\n\n\n**Summary**:\n\nThis is a proposal to convert 300 ETH into Origin Ether ([OETH](https://www.oeth.com/)) to both increase yield and increase LST diversity for the Nouns treasury.\n\nThis proposal will include two transactions: the first to convert ETH into OETH, and the second to opt-in the Nouns wallet for yield generation.\n\n\n\n**Abstract**:\n\nI am Peter from the Origin Protocol core team.

However, this proposal did not pass, largely due to poor timing and disagreements with the fork.\n\nThe proposal to Nouns was later followed up with a 1 ETH [proposal](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/165) to test staking OETH within the Lil Nouns treasury. After several months a supplementary [proposal](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/203/description) was passed to stake a larger amount of ETH into OETH, where the Lil Nouns treasury has been safely [earning](https://etherscan.io/address/0xd5f279ff9EB21c6D40C8f345a66f2751C4eeA1fB#asset-tokens) a yield ever since. OETH performance reports were shared with the DAO after [30](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafkreihopcixhvpcyvrhpsl5i3ya4ii6ckqw5vlhf2e4xeut7aywnspv3m), [60](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeigwtvuuyawbejkjb2njjlbcvy44rkc24gcajscjjjnaquig3phrim), [90](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeihg5oisg5e6srs35ffy3b3r4kjpqfvlgikiyqm2jvsmgn7yibgcyq), and [180](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeifsh7jybq26h76vxktioarhd4py7s7aabwhvwivqorbetfrjxvvfi) days to give the DAO full transparency of OETH\u2019s performance alone and versus Lido\u2019s stETH, RocketPool rETH, and Frax\u2019s frxETH. We believe OETH has now been used within Lil Nouns long enough to warrant another attempt at a proposal for Nouns to safely use OETH for both yield generation and treasury diversification.\n\nAs mentioned from proposals 18, 22, 30, 52, 217, 227, and now 810, it is clear that the Nouns community is once again interested in earning yield on the treasury and extending the project runway. Proposal 810 signals that the community would prefer to continue earning yield with LSTs other than stETH, rather than eliminating risk completely and converting LSTs entirely back to ETH to be untouched.\n\nOETH yield is currently at 3.26% APY, whereas frxETH is down to 3.07%, stETH is down to 2.82%, and rETH is down to 2.58%. We are proposing to begin with 300 OETH, and can submit an additional proposal in the future to increase the amount as the community and DAO sees fit. This proposal was not meant to replace the mETH proposal from Mantle, but rather to compliment it, and further increase diversity between LSTs within the Nouns treasury.\n\n\n\n## OETH Overview\n\n[Origin Ether](https://www.oeth.com/) was launched in May 2023 and is an ETH-pegged ERC20 that generates yield while sitting in your wallet. Similar to stETH, OETH yield is paid out daily and automatically (sometimes multiple times per day) through a positive rebase in the form of additional OETH, proportional to the amount of OETH held. OETH is a full-fledged LST with an extremely tight peg (1:1 redemptions to ETH thru Origin\u2019s [ARM](https://docs.originprotocol.com/protocol/arm) and high yields thanks to DVT direct staking. OETH earns its yield from 3 core components:\n\n- Beacon chain staking through [SSV/P2p](https://grafana.originprotocol.com/public-dashboards/68227b64cc33446886b16a0c024361ea)\n- The [Curve AMO](https://docs.originprotocol.com/introduction/core-concepts/amo)\n- Those [opted-out](https://docs.originprotocol.com/introduction/core-concepts/rebasing-and-smart-contracts) from receiving the yield - any users LPing in a dex pool are giving up their OETH yield (in exchange for trading fees & emissions) to those opted-in, leading to a boost in yield\n\nOETH\u2019s meticulous design provides increased yields while protecting against centralization and slashing events. Current and historical OETH yields can be seen via the OETH [analytics page](https://analytics.originprotocol.com/oeth/) at all times. [Proof of Yield](https://analytics.originprotocol.com/oeth/poy) tracks every OETH yield event as the yield is distributed.\n\nObtaining OETH is seamless, Nouns can convert from ETH into OETH via any of the following methods:\n\n* Minting via the OETH [Zapper](https://docs.originprotocol.com/protocol/oeth/zapper) - (transaction #1 of this proposal)\n* Minting on [OETH.com](https://app.oeth.com/)\n* Swapping on [Curve](https://curve.fi/#/ethereum/pools/factory-v2-298/deposit)\n* Swapping on [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?inputCurrency=0x856c4efb76c1d1ae02e20ceb03a2a6a08b0b8dc3&outputCurrency=ETH)\n\n**Security Risk Mitigation**\n\nOETH has been operational for over 2 years with a TVL of 47,000+ ETH ($130m+), zero exploits or security incidents to date and has demonstrated a strong commitment to smart contract security as shown by our past audits and active ImmuneFi [bug bounty](https://docs.originprotocol.com/security-and-risk/bug-bounties) with a max bounty of $1,000,000 for critical findings. Origin has a continuous auditing agreement with OpenZeppelin and yAudit to review 100% of the OETH and OUSD smart contract changes. All audits can be found [here](https://docs.originprotocol.com/security-and-risk/audits).\n\nExternal OETH risk assessments:\n\n* [Prisma Risk](https://www.llamarisk.com/research/collateral-risk-woeth-addendum1) - Asset Risk Assessment Addendum: Origin Ether (OETH)\n* [LlamaRisk full collateral risk assessment](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-add-support-for-wrapped-oeth-woeth-to-aave-v3/19285/2) supporting the onboarding of OETH to the Aave V3 instance\n* [Chaos Labs collateral risk assessment](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-add-support-for-wrapped-oeth-woeth-to-aave-v3/19285/3) supporting the onboarding of OETH to the Aave V3 instance\n\n**Disclosure**\n\nPeter is a core member of Origin Protocol and is joined by the fully doxxed [Origin team](https://www.originprotocol.com/community) and community, which includes hundreds of thousands of members and open-source contributors. Many members of the Origin team, including both founders, are holding a significant portion of their personal wealth in OETH. Origin Protocol\u2019s corporate treasury is also holding millions of dollars in OETH. We have skin in the game and are willing to put our own money at risk with the code we have written.\n\nThere are no lockups with this proposal, Nouns can move in and out of OETH as the Nouncil, core team, DAO, and community desires. OETH remains completely liquid at all times, and can be spent in the same way as its backing collateral, if unexpected expenses were to arise.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 817, "title": "NOUNS'SENCE | The Final Submission", "description": "# NOUNS'SENCE | The Final Submission\n\n## Message to the Community\n\nFirst and foremost, we want to express our gratitude to the Nouns community.\nEvery piece of feedback, every doubt raised, every sign of encouragement \u2014 all of it was carefully considered. This updated proposal reflects a project that has listened, evolved, and is now ready to be built with you, not just for you.\n\n[https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/699](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/699)\n\n![](https://imgur.com/lmeipSK.png)\n\n---\n\n# TL;DR\n\nNOUNS'SENCE translates the entire Nounish NFT protocol \u2014 Nouns and subDAOs \u2014 into unique garments, each one handcrafted from the visual identity of its respective NFT.\n\nThe pre-sale will be open for a limited time.\nEach mint = 1 piece.\nProduction is made-to-order. No stock. Only essence.\n\n### What this proposal delivers:\n\n- Budget reduced from $19,000 to $5,000 \n- Mints conducted through a dedicated, custom-built website \n- NOUNSSENCE now embraces the full Nounish ecosystem, including derivative NFTs from subDAOs like Gnars, Lil Nouns, NARS, Nouns Amigos, Yellow Collective and more... \n- Each garment is custom-designed to translate the visual language of the holder\u2019s NFT \n- A communication channel where holders can track the entire production journey \n- Sustainable, made-to-order production: pre-sale determines the number of items, production only begins after the deadline \n- Any surplus funds will be returned to the DAO treasury \n- The requested funding represents less than 0.07% of the Nouns DAO treasury \n- A call for new creators to propose bold, expressive initiatives that expand the visual vocabulary of Nouns \n\n---\n\n# 1. Why this matters.\n\nAs time accelerates our shift into the digital, a noticeable gap remains between what we symbolize and what we can physically engage with. A silence between what we are online and what we hold in the real world.\n\n> Between pixel and skin, there was a void.\n> We chose to stitch there.\n\nAt its core, fashion has never been just about clothing. It is about presence. About tension, unpredictability, and the ritual of stepping into the world with intent.\nAnd within the DAO, that intention has yet to take shape.\n\nWhile fashion-based proposals and collaborations have emerged within the Nouns ecosystem, we believe there\u2019s still room for initiatives that treat identity as an evolving narrative \u2014 less about commercial execution, more about symbolic translation.\n\n**NOUNS'SENCE was born from that tension \u2014 and from that promise.**\n\nTo translate the identity of each Nounish NFT \u2014 from the DAO or any subDAO \u2014 into a unique, handcrafted piece. Not as an illustration, but as its embodied essence.\n\n> This proposal doesn\u2019t aim for scale.\n> It aims for meaning.\n\n---\n\n# 2. What is NOUNS'SENCE?\n\nBorn from the question: **\u201cWhat if an NFT wasn\u2019t just visual? What if it could be felt?\u201d** NOUNSSENCE is the first Nounish fashion proposal built not to apply, but to translate. Each piece stems from an aesthetic and symbolic reading of the NFT: its colors, proportions, visual rhythm, graphic features, and emotional atmosphere. The design doesn\u2019t follow a template \u2014 it listens. It interprets.\n\n> No templates. No fitting. Only interpretation and response.\n> What was once only pixel now takes on physical form.\n\nIt all began with Noun #140 \u2014 the moment when we recognized there was narrative and emotion embedded in the code. This curiosity led to action: five physical pieces were crafted in conversation with the Yellow Community. Other Nouns also served as sparks of inspiration \u2014 #839, #730, #748, #931 \u2014 each revealing its own visual rhythm.\n\n![](https://imgur.com/GcuOQ4z.png)\n\nThis journey was only made possible through the support and attention of community members like Toady Hawk, Ccarella, Carlos Juar, and others who continue to inspire the direction of the project.\n\nOur references are clear, but not limiting. Tiffany & Co. offered a precedent with their work on CryptoPunks. Tribute Brand explored digital reinterpretations with Squiggles. NOUNSSENCE charts a different course \u2014 treating each Nounish NFT as a raw symbolic unit.\n\nThe name is a fusion of \"Noun\" and \"Essence\" \u2014 a nod to the poetic randomness of \u201cnonsense,\u201d opening space for emotional and visual interpretation.\n\n> We don\u2019t call this a collection.\n> We call it a language.\n> And the holder\u2019s body is where it writes itself.\n\n---\n\n# 3. How it works\n\n## Mint & Interpretation:\n\nDuring a limited-time pre-sale, any Noun or Nounish subDAO NFT can mint a NOUNS'SENCE piece.\nEach mint = 1 physical garment.\n\nAfter the sale, holders will use our custom-built platform to burn the NFT and register their specific Noun number.\nThis triggers the interpretive process \u2014 a deep visual and symbolic analysis of the NFT\u2019s traits: color, silhouette, rhythm, contrast, atmosphere.\n\nWe don\u2019t replicate. We translate.\nAnd the result is a tailored piece of wearable art.\n\n![](https://imgur.com/PQVMfW4.gif)\n\n## Production:\n\nEach garment is handmade in our atelier, with high attention to detail and timeline integrity.\n\n- Visual development & sketching: up to 30 days \n- Modeling, cutting & custom tailoring: 30 to 60 days \n- Finishing touches & finalization: up to 15 days \n- Packaging & tracked shipping: up to 7 days \n\n**Estimated total time:** 60 to 100 days post-burning, depending on complexity.\nShould demand exceed expectations, we\u2019ll transparently communicate any scheduling adjustments \u2014 always prioritizing quality over speed.\n\n### Transparency & Tracking:\n\nThroughout the process, holders will gain access to a private channel with visual updates and behind-the-scenes documentation.\nOur commitment is not only to deliver \u2014 but to deliver an experience of recognition.\n\n---\n\n## 4. Who\u2019s behind it?\n\nNOUNS'SENCE is built by a creative nucleus with direct ties to Web3 culture, independent fashion, and artisanal craftsmanship. Three contributors, three perspectives \u2014 weaving a proposal of precision, poetry, and process.\n\n---\n\n## Edward \n\n[@n0weight](https://x.com/n0weight) **| Creative Director** A fashion designer and art collector, Edward operates at the crossroads of identity and form. With a background shaped by time in Berlin, London, and the Miu Miu research lab, he is currently developing his first onchain fashion house.\n\n---\n\n## Nulo\n\n[@_nul00](https://x.com/_nul00) **| Technical Designer** Rooted in streetwear and urban lifestyle, Nulo previously contributed to the creative direction at HIGH.

She also creates 3D mockups for early previews, ensuring material accuracy and executional integrity.\n\n---\n\n# 5. Financial Request\n\nWe\u2019re requesting **$5,000 USD** solely to cover the pre-sale operation:\nWebsite development, technical setup, and team compensation for execution.\n\nGarment production will be fully funded by the NFT mints, making this a demand-driven, sustainable model.\n\n**This is a non-profit project.** Any remaining funds will be returned to the DAO treasury.\n\n> This ask represents less than **0.07%** of the current Nouns DAO treasury.\n\n---\n\n# 6. Why support this?\n\nNOUNS'SENCE is not about clothing. It\u2019s about language. About giving body to symbol.\nAbout bringing the ethos of Nouns DAO into the tactile world.\n\nTo all who have supported the project, whether through comments, feedback, or imagination, thank you. NOUNSSENCE only exists if it\u2019s shared.\n\nAnd to those who\u2019ve been with us since the beginning, we\u2019re honoring this path with the creation of a commemorative holiday piece \u2014 already in development \u2014 as a quiet gesture of our commitment to this community.\n\n> Because if Nounish culture is about creation, decentralization, and living language \u2014\n> then perhaps it\u2019s time to let the symbol touch the skin. \n\n![](https://imgur.com/dMSDNkj.png)", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 818, "title": "Stake 1000 ETH to mETH", "description": "# Stake 1000 ETH to mETH\n\nSome of the key clarifications we would love to share with the community:\n\u00a01. We fully recognize that the DAO Governance process of Mantle runs more like a corporation rather than a DAO, and we believe this is exactly why we would love to engage with Nouns DAO, given how dynamic and vibrant the community and we would love to treat it as a learning process for us.\n\u00a02. We would love to view this partnership as a window of opportunity to first, enhance and diversify Nouns' treasury yield strategies. mETH and cmETH have been the first LST/LRT tokens deployed on HypeEVM, providing some unique market exposure compared to other LST/LRT tokens.\n3. We genuinely hope that through the 5 million MNT delegation, Nouns can be an important partnership for us to drive forward within the DAO space. There will also be many other opportunities in the future as well. For example, Mantle will launch its banking division very soon. There could also be an interesting opportunity for Nouns DAO to engage with the wave of convergence of CeFi and DeFi.\n\n## Overview\n\n- mETH Protocol and the broader Mantle ecosystem have taken note of the recent governance and structural developments within Nouns DAO and are deeply aligned with the DAO's forward-looking vision for decentralized governance and its evolving framework. \n- We strongly resonate with Nouns DAO\u2019s commitment to advancing governance models, exploring legal compliance pathways, offering strategic advisory capabilities, and fostering collaborative partnerships. \n- As the fourth-largest liquid staking token (LST) protocol on Ethereum, mETH Protocol is eager to contribute to and participate in this ongoing reform. We look forward to establishing a long-term, strategic partnership with Nouns DAO in the years ahead. \n\n## Brief Introduction of mETH Protocol\n\nmETH Protocol is a permissionless, vertically integrated liquid staking infrastructure purpose-built for Ethereum L1. It delivers a robust, non-custodial staking solution designed to meet the security, composability, and operational standards of institutional participants. Since launch, mETH Protocol has demonstrated sustained growth and adoption, currently ranked as the 4th largest liquid staking protocol globally, with $2.1 billion in total value locked (TVL) at its peak.\n\n**mETH** is a value-accumulating receipt token for ETH staking. Users can redeem mETH for the underlying principal and accumulated ETH rewards. It is a straightforward product with a risk-reward profile associated with Ethereum 2.0 validation services.\n\n**cmETH** is a 1:1 receipt token for mETH restaking across a portfolio of positions, including EigenLayer, Symbiotic, Karak and associated Actively Validated Services. Rewards will accrue in multiple third-party assets, which users can claim periodically. cmETH provides users with a convenient way to participate in the risk-reward profile of restaking.\n\n## Value Proposition\n\n**Security-First, Pragmatically Engineered**\n\nmETH Protocol is built on a decentralized architecture \u2014 validator delegation spans top-tier operators like A41, Blockdaemon, and P2P \u2014 but user safety remains our north star. In times of market stress, we\u2019ve acted swiftly to protect funds, as evidenced in recent recovery actions on platforms utilizing mETH (see [case study](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sCve3pD489Dlz_uxfLPN_MVeImre2aSMMJjiZDikv4g/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ydgm564qaioo))\n\n**Institutional Liquidity on Demand**\\*\\*\n\\*\\*We understand the operational need for agile, reliable access to assets. mETH offers multiple redemption pathways: <1-day access via Mantle\u2019s on-chain buffer pools, OTC redemption through trusted partners (e.g. Bybit), Integration with custodians and off-platform rails for block trades\n\n**Key Metrics (as of May 2025)**\n\n- **Total mETH Supply:** 366,160 ETH \n- **Slashing Events:** None to date \n- **Networks Supported:** Ethereum Mainnet, Mantle L2, HyperEVM (cmETH only) \n\n## Security Overview\n\n- **Audits:** Completed by Hexens, Secure3, Mixbytes, Verilog \n- **Oracle Design:** 6-oracle model, 3-of-6 quorum \n- **Bug Bounty:** Up to $500,000 via Immunefi \n\n**Current Yield of mETH & cmETH** \n\n| | mETH | cmETH |\n| ------------ | ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Yield source | Native staking on Ethereum Network | Restaking yield from 3 restaking protocols, i.e. EigenLayer, Symbiotic Points, Karak, and Veda |\n| APY | 2.71% (floating given the network activity) | Restaking points (Est. 2.8% APY) |\n\n## What we propose\n\n### From Nouns DAO\n\n1. **Treasury Optimization:** \n2. We propose that Nouns DAO reallocate a portion of its treasury\u2014starting with 1,000 stETH\u2014from existing stETH holdings to cmETH/mETH. This shift aims to enhance yield-generation opportunities through the mETH Protocol. \n3. **Collaborative Marketing:** \n4. Initiate co-marketing efforts in partnership with mETH Protocol and the broader Mantle ecosystem to amplify visibility and shared brand equity. \n\n### From Mantle\n\n1. **Token Delegation:** \n2. **Delegate 5 million MNT tokens to Nouns DAO** to support governance engagement and incentivize aligned participation. \n3. **Joint Marketing Initiatives:** \n4. Collaborate on a series of marketing activities, including AMAs, livestreams, offline events, and co-branded merchandise design. \n\n## Important links\n\n- mETH Product Page: [https://app.methprotocol.xyz/stake](https://app.methprotocol.xyz/stake) \n- mETH Protocol Doc: [https://docs.mantle.xyz/meth](https://docs.mantle.xyz/meth) \n- Security and risk: mETH Protocol has undergone comprehensive audits conducted by leading security firms.

This parameter essentially serves as a protection value. The conversion rate between ETH and mETH increases gradually over time. Even if this parameter is set to 0, the stake function can still be used correctly to convert ETH into the current accurate amount of staked mETH. In this case, since we anticipate that the Nouns proposal will be executed approximately 10 days from now if it passes, we have set a slightly conservative estimate for this parameter.

Some of the women who could benefit from these regen. practices cannot afford either costs.\nWe already have a group going with half that support -for only 6 ladies from the Savory Institute Hub in Uruguay, however, there are others very interested in joining our holistic management practices regenerating our landscapes, ourselves and our communities but they lack the financial solvency to attend.\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nI know they don't join for they don't have the means to pay for the two-days the technical advisors' visit to each farm (UDS 500/year/person-farm) and to drive and visit other farms sometimes requires to stay at local hotels to spend the night due to long distances to reach each others' farms. Since this project is new our members are scattered all\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nWomen with small farming operations could be empowered with knowledge and techniques to improve their work, they could benefit from social contact with others since most stay at home and it is their 'men' who go out for information. These ladies are part of a group Pampeanas Regenerativas Orientales who work toward regeneration in all aspects of li\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nEducation at local and national level. Uruguay is a relatively small country and it is easy to show impact. Education of women leading regen projects at their homes, farms, villages, cities. There is a huge lack of conscience of what is happening with the planetary urgent situation for action, there is a huge ignorance on what needs to be done.\n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nI am the president of the Pampeanas Regenerativas Orientales (PRO) non-profit NGO whose members work toward the spreading of regenerative actions in Uruguay and the Pampa Bio-region.\nBy supporting women farmers we could start to implement regenerative practices at all levels (agri/person) and to spread the work we are doing into the Brazilian and Argentine bioregional women farmers who are eager to learn from our experience. Please check www.pampeanas.com.uy our group founded in 2019 by me and 4\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nThat when women farmers meet, the leading voices and feelings for the land are femenine, the decision makers are the women (supported - or not) by their pairs.\nThis group has meticulously registered its numbers in detail (meat/wool/milk/etc..production per hectare) measured in $$ but it is the only group in the country measuring ecological outcomes\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nThe project is already going with the support of our group, and this year we got 50% of the technical assistance for 6 farmers supported by the Savory Institute. However, there are at least 8 ladies eager to join who don't have the means and I know many more would join if they knew they were financed. These visits to other farms are special for all\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nYes, for 1 1/2 years. We learnt that when women tend to the land other factors come into play: regeneration, care of the resources (natural and human), more emphatic decision-making; more involvement of other family/workers/neighbors actors. Women have no shame to share worries, women are to generate and regenerate life at all costs and will do so \n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nI have been the leader of this group since its origin. I also run my farm successfully and have founded/owned and managed three large educational projects in Asia (System's Little House and Bangkok Prep School both in Bangkok, Thailand and Hanoi, Vietnam) proving that not only I am a successful business operator but also a leader to summon people.\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nI saw the need for women farmers to share with pairs in spite of male dominance. There were a lot of us (land owners/tenants) who had no visibility and lots to say and add to our farming world.\nOnce the project started (at our own cost - we each pay the expenses) we saw the light: women were empowered to speak, act and solve situations of their dai\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nWe got local funding for a women's meeting in August 2023 (USD 3.000) from the Instituto Plan Agropecuario de Uruguay.\nWe got Savory Institute's funding for 50% of the technical fee a year (2025) for 6 members (USD 1.500)\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\n$7,500 for technical support 20 members/1.5 years (each member would pay 50% from her own money=$250)\n$1,500 for hotels for 20 meetings for 1.5 years (1 hotel night 50-70USD x20pax = $1,200 -1,500)\n$1,000 for gas for shared transportation on monthly visits from farm to farm/1.5yr\n\n# Links\n\n### Project website\n\n[https://www.pampeanas.com.uy](https://www.pampeanas.com.uy)\n\n### Other Links\n\n[https://www.vallesol.com.uy](https://www.vallesol.com.uy)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 824, "title": "nouns.eth: set reverse record", "description": "# nouns.eth: set reverse record\n\nSet the reverse record of Nouns DAO treasury to nouns.eth \n\nNote: DUNA admins just [sent](https://etherscan.io/tx/0x3d060d8237a50c46fba85a142f45cfc9147bd66d6a0d763291c92b24def82fc3) nouns.eth to treasury.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 825, "title": "Double down on Nounspace - v3", "description": "# Double down on Nounspace - v3\n\n![nounspace_-_a_place_for_-](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJ5Mm_fbel.png)\n\nNoun.space is a customizable Farcaster client built for Nouns, by Nouns.

Claimable by proposal at any point in the future. \n\n### The Ask\n\n- **65 ETH** (streamed over 6 months)\n These funds will enable our core team to continue building our vision for at least **6 months** (and we pledge to continue hosting noun.space for a minimum of **2 years**).\n \n Our team (four developers + product manager) will be dedicated to developing the features and systems described in this proposal - custom built for Nouns, with an eye towards how they could useful for communities everywhere. \n\n![Vision](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkufFKeTJg.png)\n\nOur vision is simple. The future of social is: \n\nCustomizable. \nPermissionless.\nCommunity-Owned.\n\nOne-size-fits-all social apps are limited in capabilities and designed to benefit centralized owners. They will be replaced by bespoke platforms built on decentralized social networks that are owned and operated by the community.\n\nThe barrier to create and deploy mini app tooling is trending towards zero. The space system will be the easiest way for communities to discover, embed, and configure tooling from a growing library of mini apps.\n\nWe've always aimed to develop competitive, self-sustaining software, with a platform can benefit a wider range of users and communities (eliminating the need for ongoing funding from Nouns and acting as a scalable proliferation method).\n\nWhile some community members agreed with this strategy, others (understandably) wanted noun.space to be a platform built exclusively for the Nouns ecosystem. This proposal introduces a strategy that gives us the best of both worlds.\n\n![Strategy](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B10Spqlayl.png)\n\nHere's how we get there:\n\n1. **By Nouns, For Nouns** First and foremost, we want to bring existing Nounish tools into the same space so that our community is less scattered. Then we want to take the next step forward to build new tools for the unresolved challenges our community still has.\n \n - Improving proposal engagement \n - Raising awareness of what's happening in our ecosystem \n - Putting a face to the name - contextualizing who our voters are \n \n For more details on how this will look, check out the [Nouns-Focused Section](http://http://#The-Nounish-Homepage) of our proposal. \n2. **Community Focused Tooling** Make the space system the ideal hub for communities. \n \n Instead of competing with Warpcast and Coinbase Wallet to be the best generic Farcaster client, our focus will be on creating community tooling on a platform that provides immediate value and can be fully customized to each community's needs. (such as the [Token Spaces](https://vimeo.com/1056141221) for Clanker) \n\n[![token spaces](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeialylp2e5s6ggkd5bktiktsm77mdtjbaetn6a3rlqwjwjn4gdsuai \"https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182\")](https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182)\n\n1. **Open the Gates** Sponsor sign ups for new Farcaster users so **everyone with an internet connection** can use noun.space. \n2. **Blank.Space** Alongside all this work, take the powerful platform we've built, and make it easy for any community to deploy their own version. \n \n These custom space systems will have their own domain, branding, homepage, directories, and default configs for profiles and dashboards that the members can further customize. Not only will noun.space be the first ever \"channel client,\" it will become the base template upon which all channels and communities can deploy their platforms. \n \n Any community will be able to deploy their own space system. \n \n Powered by \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n \n > **Case Study - Clanker.Space** Clanker has shown strong interest in noun.space since our recent launch of token spaces (deployer customizable homepages for every token). \n > \n > Our teams are actively exploring the deployment of clanker.space, a white-labeled version of noun.space focused entirely on the Clanker ecosystem. While there\u2019s no guarantee that Clanker will adopt clanker.space as their primary platform, our goal is to work closely with them and build whatever is necessary to make it happen.\n > \n > ![Clanker.Space](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy7YCCWTJe.png) \n\n![Nouns-Focused Nounspace](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyFXFFgTkx.png)\n\nHere is our vision of what a fully Nouns-focused noun.space will look like. \n\n*We will continue brainstorming and soliciting feedback from the community on this work through a public Camp Topic. Additionally, anyone will be able to extend the functionality of noun.space, both through our open source codebase and by permissionlessly deploying mini apps.*\n\n### The Nounish Homepage\n\n- The homepage of noun.space will be dedicated to all things Nouns. \n \n Including but not limited to:\n \n - The Nouns channel feed (powered by Farcaster) \n - Auctions (powered by Nouns.com) \n - Governance (powered by Camp) \n - Projects (powered by Nouns.world) \n - Documentation (powered by Nouns.center) \n\n### A Nounish Directory\n\n- The Members directory will feature all nouns holders/delegates, displaying their Nouns held/delegated and linking to their profile space. \n- The Projects directory will display a growing list of Nounish projects with attached Farcaster accounts, organized into categories. [(see proposal spaces)](http://http://#Proposal-Spaces) \n\n![2025-04-16 14.25.13](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Bk5SNKTC1x.gif)\n\n[Rough demo of a directory of Nouns members (WIP)](https://eloquent-sunburst-2d95f1.netlify.app/)\n\n### Nounish Profiles\n\nThe profile space for Nouns members will be updated to automatically include the following default configuration:\n\n- A feed of their casts on Farcaster \n- Nouns held & delegated as well as a button to delegate \n- Voting activity \n- Proposals published and sponsored \n\nThese spaces will still be completely customizable by each Nouner with Fidgets, Tabs and Themes.\n\n![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJRlTDpCke.png)\n\n### Proposal Spaces\n\nA space for every proposal with \n\n- The proposal \n- AI-generated summary \n- Voting activity \n- Live chat \n- The ability to vote (with reason) \n\nThese spaces will still be completely customizable by the proposer with fidgets, tabs and themes.\n\nOnce a proposal passes, a tab for Propdates will be automatically added. We can also automatically add other relevant Mini Apps, such as an overview of stream progress for proposals funded via stream, or a mini-app for milestones if milestone-based funding is implemented.\n\nBuilding this functionality as Mini Apps will also enable native Farcaster notifications for both proposals, propdates, and future proposal functionality.\n\n![proposal spaces](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeib2fkr36ofa43wldukh3k3gwo4fxbyqfal7fgw3vjbv3l6ktho67y)\n\nWe went ahead and built v0 of Proposal Spaces during the hackathon at FarCon, including Mini App support ([check it out](https://warpcast.com/willywonka.eth/0xfdb75dd4)).\n\n### Nounish Mini Apps and Notifications\n\nMany of these features will be developed into Farcaster Mini Apps, extending this functionality to any client that supports them (including Warpcast and Coinbase Wallet). \n\nRelative to standalone apps, which Nouns has historically depended on for tackling the many problems and opportunities we face, deploying mini apps is significantly cheaper, faster, and more effective, and we expect this trend to continue as AI improves and the Farcaster ecosystem matures. \n\nFurther, mini apps can send notifications to users that will be displayed in noun.space as well as other clients. \n\n![Benefits To Nouns](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1u4Ytlp1x.png)\n\n1. Noun.space becomes fully Nouns-focused, but not Nouns-dependent. \n2. Our team will be funded to focus on developing noun.space features full time for the next 6 months (at minimum). \n3. Every Nounish community will be able to deploy their own space system. \n4. The platform will be powered by \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n Empowering a growing number of communities, some of which will inevitably stumble down the rabbit hole and fall in love with Nouns just like we have. \n5.

This project empowers youth, fosters community pride, and demonstrates sustainable resourcefulness, with potential for expansion across Malawi.\n\n\n\n# Application video\n\n[https://youtube.com/shorts/Y7dHAlmL07M?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/Y7dHAlmL07M?feature=share)\n\n# Idea\n\n### Describe your project in 80 characters or less.\n\nEcoPlay Malawi \u2013 Upcycled Playground & Creativity Hub\n\n### What is the problem or frustration you want to solve using this grant?\n\nChildren in underserved Malawian communities lack access to safe, creative, and educational play spaces, while waste materials like tires and plastics pollute the environment. This limits opportunities for early childhood development, artistic expression, and environmental awareness.\n\nThrough this project, we aim to solve: The absence of safe play areas for kids; the lack of spaces for youth creativity; environmental pollution due to uncollected waste; limited community engagement in child-cent\n\n### Why do you think it has yet to be solved? Is it merely a lack of funding or are there other barriers at play?\n\nMany Malawian children lack safe places to play and express creativity, while waste litters their communities. This project transforms discarded materials into a vibrant playground and art hub, fostering joy, environmental awareness, and community pride, proving small acts can spark lasting change and empower future generations.\n\n### What is the best-case outcome of receiving this grant?\n\nThe grant will create a safe, inspiring playground and art hub that transforms waste into joy. It will boost children\u2019s well-being, spark environmental awareness, and build community pride. This space will empower youth, foster creativity, and inspire similar projects across Malawi, creating lasting positive change.\n\n### If you had access to 10x the funding amount, what could you improve? How would the outcome and impact change?\n\nWith 10x funding, we would build multiple playgrounds and creativity hubs across Malawi, adding educational programs on sustainability and mental health. This would reach thousands more children, strengthen communities, and inspire a nationwide movement for upcycling, environmental care, and youth empowerment, creating far greater lasting impact.\n\n# Execution\n\n### How will you carry out the project and bring it to completion?\n\nWe will start by engaging the community and securing the site. Local artisans will build playgrounds using recycled materials, while youth artists lead workshops and murals. I\u2019ll coordinate efforts, manage partnerships, and oversee progress. Community leaders will help mobilize volunteers to ensure lasting impact and ownership.\n\n### What is an interesting (operational) detail about the project that is non-obvious to an outsider?\n\nAn interesting detail is that many playground elements will be built using innovative upcycling techniques, like turning old tires into safe climbing structures or plastic bottles into colorful panels. This not only reduces waste but also teaches children practical skills about sustainability and resourcefulness through hands-on involvement.\n\n### What does the timeline to completion look like? Any major factors that could delay the project? Any hard deadlines you need to comply with?\n\nThe project will take 4 months: community engagement and materials collection (Month 1), construction (Month 2), art workshops and garden planting (Month 3), and launch with training (Month 4). Delays may occur due to material sourcing, weather, or volunteer availability. We aim to finish before the school term for maximum impact.\n\n### Are you already working on this project, and for how long? What have you learned?\n\nI have been developing this idea for several months, engaging local youth and artisans in discussions about play, creativity, and waste. I\u2019ve learned that communities are eager to create safe, inspiring spaces but lack resources and knowledge about upcycling. This project taps into their enthusiasm and fills that gap with practical support.\n\n# About you\n\n### Why are you uniquely qualified to make use of this grant?\n\nI\u2019m deeply connected to Malawian communities with experience leading grassroots projects focused on youth, environment, and creativity. My skills in coordination, advocacy, and community engagement position me to effectively manage this project, ensuring it meets local needs and creates lasting positive impact using the grant.\n\n### How did you come up with the project idea? Do you have domain expertise in this area?\n\nThe idea came from witnessing a lack of safe play areas and rising waste in Malawian communities. With experience in community engagement, environmental advocacy, and youth empowerment, I saw an opportunity to combine upcycling and creative play to address these issues turning challenges into inspiring, practical solutions for kids and families.\n\n### Please tell us in one or two sentences about something you achieved in the past that would be indicative of your ability to execute this project.\n\nI successfully led a community-driven eco-e-waste recycling campaign that transformed discarded materials into useful tools and art, engaging youth and local artisans. This experience demonstrated my ability to mobilize resources, build partnerships, and deliver sustainable, impactful projects that empower communities.\n\n# Budget\n\n### Please provide a rough breakdown of how you plan to spend the grant money.\n\n$4,000 for materials (land, tires, wood, paint, tools, recycled plastics)\n\n$3,000 to local artisans and laborers for construction and artwork\n\n$1,000 for youth workshops and training sessions\n\n$1,000 for community engagement, awareness, and events\n\n$1,000 for monitoring, documentation, and contingency expenses\n\n# Links\n\n### Other Links\n\n[https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007045817113](https://web.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007045817113)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 827, "title": "\ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Browser Head and Two Accessories", "description": "# \ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Browser Head and Two Accessories\n\n*Submitted with the help of [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/profile/0x560ddbb5ccaf91d27e91f0e7c0fa099e7ee179e6) and [Volky](https://farcaster.xyz/volky.eth)*\n\n## Summary\n\nThis proposal adds one new **head** trait:\n\n- Browser \n\n![Showcase Noun](https://i.noundry.wtf/2h39ex7DB/preview.png)\n\nAnd two new **accessory** traits:\n\n- Dog \n- Dove \n\n![Showcase Noun](https://i.noundry.wtf/Jq1w4sDrH/preview.png)\n![Showcase Noun](https://i.noundry.wtf/TJA32UDkh/preview.png)\n\n## Some words from the artist\n\nHey, it's mono!

goose name of humorous vibe thanks to Pip recommendation. Added Noun 328 to txs as a recognition of the art that has passed ([733,](https://nouns.wtf/vote/733) [741,](https://nouns.wtf/vote/741) [813](https://nouns.wtf/vote/813) and this prop trait if by any chance successful) since i really enjoy frog head and multicolor \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 this is a gem for me, and would promise not to propose any more traits for 828 hrs after execution for people that are tired of me, sorry not sorry.\n\n![](https://media.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExN3p2cGVvOGY1dHR5ZWs3bHpxZWFzenl4Z3JmdGdlbnU1NDk3NnIyMSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/2bQbmpJPWpTGYTDwIQ/giphy.gif)\n\n## Nouns Art

Although the creativity and determination of the community is commendable, the smaller the treasury gets the higher opportunity costs and risk associated with every proposal.\n\nThe Nouns DAO currently lacks the tools to appropriately address these risks. Both send proposals and Streams follow an optimistic approach that lacks the teeth to instill accountability in the proposers. Without escrowed milestones, the DAO is left vulnerable to rogue proposals.\n\nStreams are great to disperse salaries and recurring service charges, but for funding proactive work they remain risky. While the DAO deliberates and coordinates whether to cancel a stream, the DAO is bleeding funds. The cancelled stream of Prop 711 and the feedback on the defeated Flows proposal are two recent examples that emphasise Nouns DAO\u2019s need for escrowed milestones:\n\n- Cancelling Prop 711\u2019s Stream ([https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766))\n - bixbite.eth says: \u201cAlso, other DAOS release payments in milestones where someone reviews the progress for completion before releasing future payments, so it's not that crazy of a concept to have a bit of oversight on things\u201d ([https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766?tab=activity&item=0xb67ed20fdcf323ee8d24a88ddb991fbead130764d93a0600f80fbb1dfe42d431-825](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766?tab=activity&item=0xb67ed20fdcf323ee8d24a88ddb991fbead130764d93a0600f80fbb1dfe42d431-825)) \n- Feedback on the candidate for the defeated Flows proposal ([https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/785](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/785))\n - 0xjanedoe.eth writes: \u201cWhy not take a \u201csmooth\u201d approach\u2014split the budget into milestones incrementally, and let the DAO assess results before committing more capital?\u201d ([https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/605?tab=activity&item=0xfa7702821af6ce4201e881b2da3b4cd9e7375dc9f422e5134e3332ab29339bf4-83](https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/605?tab=activity&item=0xfa7702821af6ce4201e881b2da3b4cd9e7375dc9f422e5134e3332ab29339bf4-83)) \n\nAfter community feedback led by @0xmonografia, we are deprecating our initial candidate ([https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/enabling-nouns-dao-to-escrow-milestones-7bc48221928f11184b376da7a57650768dfd3332?edit=1](https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/enabling-nouns-dao-to-escrow-milestones-7bc48221928f11184b376da7a57650768dfd3332?edit=1)) in favour of upgrading this topic to a candidate. \n\n# tl;dr\n\nThis proposal introduces **milestone-based escrow payments** as a **new proposal type** for Nouns DAO\u2019s governance and voting system, enabling pro-active fund disbursement. The integration is done by [Smart](http://smartinvoice.xyz)[I](http://smartinvoice.xyz)[nvoice.xyz](http://nvoice.xyz/), a solution incubated by [RaidGuild](http://raidguild.org). Instead of proposals relying on follow-up from the community, it is up to the proposer to convince the community when they're ready for release. Any community member can raise a release (or dispute) proposal at any time.\n\nTo ensure **fair dispute resolution** and bespoke arbitration features, this proposal is **jointly submitted with** ***[Kleros](https://kleros.io/)***, the leading decentralised arbitration provider specialising in blockchain-based dispute resolution.\n\n# Project Overview\n\nNouns DAO has historically funded projects through lump-sum grants, which require **high trust in proposers** and caused significant losses in the past, which is already being discussed:\n\n- [Tracking Rugged Nouns Props](https://www.nouns.camp/topics/tracking-rugged-nouns-props%E2%80%94do-we-have-a-list%3F-094b3226c7f55de7038b5be9bbac0866b3f6c8b8) \n- [Nounforce One](https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/nounforce-one%3A-bixbite's-proposal-tracking-%26-treasury-recovery-mission-%E2%8C%90%E2%97%A8-%E2%97%A8-073f0dc58e9989c827ba5b7b35570b7315652e63) \n\nHowever, as **project scopes increase**, ensuring that deliverables align with funding commitments becomes more complex. With escrowed milestones:\n\n- **Proposers receive funds progressively**, aligned with agreed-upon deliverables. \n- **Nouns DAO retains financial oversight**, ensuring capital is deployed effectively. \n- **Disputes are handled transparently** via **decentralised** Kleros arbitration. \n- **Milestone updates** are handled **together with fund releases** through an integration with [Propdates.wtf](https://propdates.wtf/) \n- The Nouns community receives the **option to choose between on-chain and off-chain release of milestones**, using [Snapshot\u2019s oSnap module](https://docs.snapshot.box/v1-interface/plugins/safesnap-osnap). More information on an implementation with Safe can be found [here](https://docs.snapshot.box/v1-interface/plugins/safesnap-reality). \n- For showcasing the functionality an oSnap module for Safe using Snapshot voting was already set up. It enables the Nouns community to already verify the functionality of the solution. For details on this piece of infrastructure visit [https://v1.snapshot.box/#/nounsescrow.eth/about](https://v1.snapshot.box/#/nounsescrow.eth/about) \n\nThis integration will help **Nouns DAO fund larger-scale projects with greater confidence**, and reduce the social cost of protecting its treasury, ensuring that funds contribute to meaningful, measurable outcomes.\n\n# Funding Request (Total: 35 ETH)\n\nThe SmartInvoice team requests **35 ETH** to cover development, integration, customisation, and support.\n\n| Item | Description | ETH |\n| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --- |\n| Core Functionality Development | Escrow Milestones Proposal Action (10 ETH) Frontend form for milestones, recipient, controller Controller selection logic Backend encoding of SmartInvoice creation transaction Milestone Viewer on Proposal Page (5 ETH) Display milestone list and current status View-only interface Link to full invoice on [https://smartinvoice.xyz](https://smartinvoice.xyz) app | 15 |\n| oSnap Release Integration | Snapshot and Gnosis Safe milestone release mechanism with controller-aware flows | 5 |\n| Testing and QA | End-to-end integration tests, edge case handling, Snapshot and controller logic QA | 2 |\n| Documentation & Training | Contributor onboarding, Snapshot/oSnap guides, developer documentation, user guides | 3 |\n| Maintenance & Support (2 years) | Support for milestone release, arbitration, off-chain delegation, DAO onboarding | 5 |\n| Project Management & Coordination | Sprint planning and delivery tracking Weekly reviews and stakeholder syncs Coordination with nouns.camp, Snapshot, and Kleros teams | 5 |\n| TOTAL | | 35 |\n\n# Success Metrics\n\nTo make this initiative successful, we will engage with key ecosystem participants, including DAO sub-groups, such as Nouncil, LilNouns, and SharkDAO to ensure they understand and adopt the milestone-based escrow system. By integrating feedback loops, offering continuous educational content, and providing hands-on support through dedicated communication channels, this will directly save Nouns money with each proposal refunded that doesn't fully get completed.\n\nAfter the integration is completed at least **10 proposals** use milestone-based escrow within the first **12 months**.\n\n## Community Engagement\n\nWork together with the community to prioritise the integration in frontends, such as **nouns.camp**, and determine whether a standalone hosted frontend is desirable.\n\nAs part of our maintenance and support, we will **engage and educate the Nouns community.**\n\n- **SharkDAO, Gnars, Nouncil, and Lilnouns** onboarded to use escrow proposals. \n- **Workshops & guides** developed to introduce milestone-based funding to the ecosystem. \n- **Direct outreach to NounsUniversity** to provide educational sessions on escrow contracts. \n- **Webinars & AMA sessions** to address questions and improve adoption. \n\n## Successful Integration\n\nThe Smart Escrow proposal type is available through **nouns.camp**, or a standalone hosted frontend (up to 2 in total). Kleros is integrated through [Recognition of Jurisdiction](https://docs.kleros.io/integrations/types-of-integrations/1.-dispute-resolution-integration-plan/use-cases/1.-dispute-resolution-integration-plan) under Kleros v1, and disputes are resolved transparently within agreed timeframes on the appropriate Court and can be appealed several times up to the General Court.\n\nMilestone release via **off-chain voting** is enabled through the integration of **Snapshot\u2019s oSnap module**.\n\nThis allows the community to vote on milestone completions using Snapshot proposals, which \u2013 when passed \u2013 trigger Gnosis Safe transactions that release funds from the smart escrow. This provides a **streamlined governance implementation** and reduces proposal overhead on Ethereum mainnet while retaining DAO control.\n\nTo make this integration future-proof and enable sub-DAOs to settle small claims, SmartInvoice is finalising its feature complete integrating with Kleros on a smart contract level.\n\n## Implementation Roadmap\n\n- **Months 1-3:** Smart Invoice development \n - integration with **nouns.camp**, and, \n - a standalone hosted frontend \n- **Month 3-5:** Integration with Kleros \n - Arbitration through Recognition of Jurisdiction \n - Pilot integration of feature complete Kleros smart contracts \n- **Month 4-6:** Integration of off-chain milestone release through *oSnap* \n- **Month 6:** Finalising deployment, testing, and community onboarding \n- **Months 6-24:** Refinement user training, and ecosystem education \n\n## Benefits to Nouns DAO\n\n- **Greater financial security**: Funds are disbursed based on tangible progress. \n- **Stronger project oversight**: DAOs retain financial control throughout execution. \n- **More attractive funding model**: Proposers gain trust by aligning payments with deliverables. \n- **Reliable dispute resolution**: SmartInvoice enforces decisions made by Kleros courts \n\n## Transparency & Accountability\n\n- Smart Invoice is **open-source** and fully auditable. \n- Kleros\u2019 arbitration rulings are **public and fully decentralised**. \n- DAO governance will remain **the primary decision-making entity**, ensuring Smart Invoice acts as an enabling tool rather than a decision-making mechanism. \n\n# Team\n\n## Smart Invoice Development Team\n\n- **benedictvs** \u2013 Project Manager & Governance Lead\n - [https://github.com/b3nedictvs](https://github.com/b3nedictvs) \n - [https://x.com/b3nedictvs](https://x.com/b3nedictvs) \n- **Shawky** \u2013 Full-Stack Developer \n- **dan13ram** \u2013 Smart Contract Engineer\n - [https://github.com/dan13ram](https://github.com/dan13ram) \n- **Ian** \u2013 UI/UX & DAO Frontend Developer \n- **scottrepreneur** \u2013 Strategy & DAO Ecosystem Advisor\n - [https://github.com/scottrepreneur](https://github.com/scottrepreneur) \n - [https://farcaster.xyz/scottrepreneur.eth](https://farcaster.xyz/scottrepreneur.eth) \n\n# Conclusion\n\nIntegrating a milestone-based escrow proposal type into Nouns DAO brings financial discipline, increased accountability, and stronger dispute resolution mechanisms. This proposal represents a natural evolution of Nouns DAO\u2019s funding model, allowing it to support more complex and ambitious initiatives with reduced financial risk. So far, SmartInvoice has secured contracts with a combined value of over $400,000 ([https://dune.com/sunsakis/smart-invoice](https://dune.com/sunsakis/smart-invoice)). We actively service the majority of internal and external work at RaidGuild, and recently supported Nouns.builder DAO in rolling out escrow proposals to all Nouns Builder communities on Base:\n\n- RaidGuild using SmartInvoice at [https://dm.raidguild.org/escrow/new?chainId=100](https://dm.raidguild.org/escrow/new?chainId=100) \n\n![](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmc5t7Y3eKKWz5YfQVwF1d6kJkowQciHiYqYpHdUfRY4qg \"RaidGuild Smart Escrow Integration\")\n\n- Nouns Builder Escrows \n - [https://nouns.build/dao/base/0xe8af882f2f5c79580230710ac0e2344070099432/vote/29](https://nouns.build/dao/base/0xe8af882f2f5c79580230710ac0e2344070099432/vote/29) \n - [Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/d1a42ab110b94c7e8df8ec6452dd3669?sid=a636235b-2f77-4aa8-8834-146670cb812f) \n\n---\n\n![](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZfbZUMfvvx8iSBTSgSkA2ryyUGbEw1h8qUVJX7UMSm2R \"NounsBuilder Integration\")\n\n# Additional Resources\n\n- [Smart Invoice Documentation](https://docs.smartinvoice.xyz/) \n- [Kleros Arbitration Overview](https://docs.kleros.io/) \n- [Live Smart Invoice UI](https://smartinvoice.xyz/) \n- [Farcaster Notification Bot Repository](https://github.com/SmartInvoiceXYZ/builder-farcaster) \n\n# Why Now?\n\nEnabling escrowed proposals would not replace Streams or direct sends, it would **add optionality**.

The aim is to bridge Lil Nouns and Nouns beyond the Nounsplex and inspire the curious. We've now been going for over a year on a shoestring, and I guess we are the longest running daily round on rounds.wtf.\n\nLil Nouns funded us 6e in June 2024 to run weekly trivia competitions, resulting in 50+ trivia questions, rewarding Nouns ([#1207](https://probe.wtf/nouns/1207) & a fractionalised Noun via daily rounds), \\~50 Lil Nouns, cryptoadz, [optimists,](https://opensea.io/item/base/0x37a0c3216a09ec87bb91958ca06065659d80f8dd/300) and I've self funded many more dollars directly to the creators who are contributing/creating/playing games at Noun o'clock via memeployees of the month, tipping and paying people for their work. We have made and sponsored multiple onchain proposals with/for communtiy members for retroactive rewards, new traits and many other creative proposals at [Lil Nouns](https://lilnouns.camp/voters/0xada31add8450ca0422983b9a3103633b78938617) (10) and [Nouns ](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/0xada31add8450ca0422983b9a3103633b78938617)(18) over the past two years. Even though noc remains one of my main points of focus to this day, I got distracted at some point, helping NNS raise a lot of ETH for their $nogs coin. I thought the NNS team were good actors and it would benefit lil nouns ([i made a prop there](https://lilnouns.camp/proposals/194)), help noc creators (they collectively shared $500) etc but in hindsight this was a massive mistake. I think this can still be spun into a positive. Disclaimer: I collected/staked many NNS NFTs (can't remember cost but I imagine I spent $1k+), and sold $nogs for at least $10k profit. They also once gave me $500 worth to give away and said \"make us proud\" whilst they were dumping insane amounts and totally ignoring their own whitepaper. I gave away these $nogs to community at noc in addition to many more of my own personal $nogs and have been waiting on the alleged tipping leaderboard, \"coming soon\" for over a year. \n\nI'm requesting the 3.6b $nogs in the treasury to be sent to nocguild.eth. I consider $nogs and the entire NNS platform as a security threat at this point and I don't condone voting using $nogs or any NNS affiliated products, even Nouns making a profit from selling the $nogs is not a good look in my opinion. This proposal allows Nouns DAO to wash their hands of this situation, serves as an onchain landmark, and provides multiple years of runway for noun o'clock experiments spanning beyond Farcaster to IRL. I will commission artists and technologists, host online hackathons, governance experiments, IRL collaborative art experiences and grow the noc community and channel in a healthy and organic way, as I have been doing over the past year+.\n\nThe NNS \"team\" recently withdrew \\~148e of the \\~200e LP but there remains \\~50e. The requested 3.6b $nogs could be swapped for roughly 15e after slippage - this is what I intend to do in order to fund the next couple years of community-led initiatives and events, deliverables include (but not limited to):\n\n- NOC Silverware products (collectibles made from silver e.g. forks) \n- Lil toys limited prototypes for sale \n- other Physical Device prototypes 1/1s and small batch production \n- LATAM/EUROPE/ASIA meet ups and pop up shops \n- Miniapps and games (e.g. token weighted governance) \n- Artist/developer commissions and mint splits with DAO \n- Design Technology Lessons \n- NOC Xmas Trivia \n\nAbout me: I am a product designer and aspiring Ice Cream Man, helping any talented people I cross paths with to develop relationships with Lil Nouns / Nouns and help them create freely without limitations. I would like to take my skills and experience from the traditional design and startup worlds and see what I can do here alongside all the amazing creators that have gathered for noc. \n\nThis is a discretionary budget to experiment alongside the people that create for noun o'clock and lil noun o'clock. Originally had proposed for the funds to go to Lil Nouns but the community had some pushback and were not excited at the prospect of receiving these nogs (can't blame them) due to not wanting to further entwine the DAO with NNS.\n\nMore info about $nogs / NNS in [Cancel 711 Proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766) and below. I have documented much of the details via daily drawings posted at Noun o'clock in a humorous yet honest and transparent way that hopefully provides good context.\n\n## NNS / $nogs related art shared through /noc on Farcaster 2024/2025:\n\n![](https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExeDF1eXB4azJuaHFzY25obG1qd3R5Ynh1bG5hbTVxZ3Rmbm1ybXowdSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/mt63ej6R80fVlJ28vE/giphy.gif)\n![](https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYWJsejdoNHhlaXJpeWZoNDE4aTN4eTdnMnAyNjU0aWZxMnhkNTZuNiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/H0djWzzJU84NY21nmZ/giphy.gif)\n\nAbove: Recent artworks during the Cancellation of Proposal 711\n\nBellow: The nogs effect(s) \\~1 year ago\n\n[![](https://scontent-iad4-1.choicecdn.com/-/rs:fill:2000:1104/g:ce/f:webp/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWdpYy5kZWNlbnRyYWxpemVkLWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2lwZnMvYmFmeWJlaWVsbWp4cTZvcG9kYmdwZjRtb2ZiMmhlNXhndXA3b2JyNGlwZHVhc3NpeXIyZjJycGpzcXk \"https://zora.co/collect/base:0xb16d28e5ce5c95738407797524d9986f44fd4681/8?referrer=0xae4705dc0816ee6d8a13f1c72780ec5021915fed\")](https://zora.co/collect/base:0xb16d28e5ce5c95738407797524d9986f44fd4681/8?referrer=0xae4705dc0816ee6d8a13f1c72780ec5021915fed)\n\nty for your time and consideration,\n\nviva la noc\n\n\u2310\u25e8-\u25e8", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 833, "title": "nouns.eth: set reverse record v2", "description": "# nouns.eth: set reverse record v2\n\nSet the reverse record of Nouns DAO treasury to nouns.eth\n\nSorry guys Prop824 failed to execute because a bug of prop submission function on Nouns.wtf, already file a bug report to volky.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 834, "title": "Retro reward bixbite.eth with Noun 16", "description": "# Retro reward bixbite.eth with Noun 16\n\ntldr reward Bixbite with Noun 16\n\n[Noun 16](https://probe.wtf/nouns/16)\n\n[![Noun 16](https://noun-api.com/beta/pfp?background=1&body=20&accessory=68&head=168&glasses=16&size=200 \"https://probe.wtf/nouns/16\")](https://probe.wtf/nouns/16)\n\n---\n\n## Why?! \n\nLil Crown was born June 8th, 2022 - [Lil Noun 1673](https://probe.wtf/lils/1673).

She'll always be a Lil Noun, but the Queen Crown is the perfect Noun to continue her journey with (she said so herself).\n\n## But Why #16?!?\n\nBix believes in the provenance of a low ID Noun and it is \"not something [she] takes lightly\". To her, the honor of owning a low digit ID Noun would symbolize her dedication to the DAO over the years, and her continued dedication for many years to come. If it was just the trait that she was after she would use the available community tools such as the [Crystal Ball](https://nouns.game/crystal-ball), but unfortunately you can't freshly mint history; therefore a proposal is her only opportunity to acquire this beauty ([her words](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/664) not mine). \n\nAdditional thoughts from proposer ([pip](https://farcaster.xyz/pip)): Noun 12 recently sold for essentially bid price (\\~15% premium), so I think it is time to accept that these Nouns probably need loving owners in order to accrue meaningful meme value and build provenance. People are not beating down the door to own this Noun, but it clearly has sentimental/meme value to Bixbite and I'd enjoy seeing her rep it. Bixbite dedicates many hours every week to thoroughly review and critique proposals across Nouns and Lil Nouns, and has become a voice that people respect and appreciate. From new community coming through Nouncil and Lil Nouns calls every Thursday through to existing community partaking in daily governance; so I say **send it**.\n\n## viva la noc", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 835, "title": "we do a lil noc - improved", "description": "# we do a lil noc - improved\n\nSince memevalue.eth in the past months has strategically moved his pawns with attacks, bullying and inflated narratives in order to steal the nogs in the treasury, I felt this prop could show everyone a better approach that can avoid to disrupt all the work we did and we are continuing to do ([last updates here)](https://farcaster.xyz/dotnouns/0x861bcab9) while keeping the proposer free to execute his generic idea, but in a more controlled (and non-discretionary) environment.\n\n**TLDR: I still don\u2019t believe this is the case, but if the DAO doesn\u2019t want the $NOGS we sent to the treasury a couple of months ago, the tokens will be sent to a burn address.

This led to many members of Lils to temporarily or definitely leave due to his toxic behaviour.

WTF Is a Cashspiel?\n\nA Cashspiel is a 3-4 day weekend Bonspiel or tournament where some of the better curlers compete for cash and prizes. What makes this event so appealing and perfect for the Nouns ecosystem is that the tournament prize money to bring the best curlers to the Nouns Intergalactic Curling Facility at CCC is considerably low. This tournament will put Nouns at the center of the entire curling universe. Cashspiels & Bonspiels are for 32 teams max.\n\n# III.

And **4 ETH** to make **Feria Gr\u00e1fica Nounish II**.\n\n## TOTAL ASK: 10ETH\n\n---\n\n## About me\n\nI'm [Nadie](https://farcaster.xyz/nadiecito.eth) live in Cali, Colombia \u2014a place where Web3 and crypto still carry a lot of stigma. For most people here, the space is either misunderstood or seen as exploitative. The local art scene isn\u2019t immune to that skepticism either, and for good reason: there\u2019s been a lack of real, positive references on the ground.\n\nThat\u2019s why, for the past few years, we\u2019ve been trying to shift that perception \u2014through small public activations, talks, and events as a community of artists under the name **[Enefty](https://www.instagram.com/enefty.co/)**, showing that crypto can create opportunities, not just speculation or scammy projects.\n\nOrganizing the **[Feria Gr\u00e1fica Nounish](https://www.instagram.com/ferianounish)** (funded by Nouns Amigos) last December was a major milestone. It positioned me as a trustworthy figure in this space \u2014someone who brings real value and opens doors for other artists. That momentum has shown me this is a real opportunity: to become a **positive cultural reference** for Web3 in my region, and to create **safe, well-supported spaces** where artists can approach this world without pressure, fear, or misinformation.\n\nThis proposal is not about rigid deliverables. It\u2019s an opportunity to keep producing value through art under the Nounish brand \u2014an ongoing, exploratory practice rooted in my artistic vision and connection with the community. Being officially supported by the DAO would allow me to continue acting as a cultural and artistic ambassador for Nouns \u2014with focus, consistency, and visibility - **this will be my full-time job.**\n\n---\n\n## Deliverables & Rhythm\n\nThis is a **flexible, high-output art-focused stream** that includes (but is not limited to):\n\n### Local activations & workshops\n\nI\u2019ll continue organizing IRL events in Colombia \u2014public art interventions, workshops, talks, drawing clubs, or creative sessions focused on **onboarding and visibility** and will attend **at least** the following events:\n\n- Crypto Latin Fest - August 21/22 (Colombia - Medell\u00edn) \n- Feria Grafica Nounish II - October 18/19 (Colombia - Cali) \n- LABITCONF - September 11 (Mexico - CDMX) \n- Devconnect - November 17/22 (Argentina - BBAA) \n\nI\u2019ll create and share Spanish-language content whenever I go, whatever is a drawing club or an international event\n\n### Weekly art drops or posts\n\nI\u2019ll keep Nouns visible and active through regular visual content \u2014including pixel art, illustrations, and animations\u2014 following the rhythm of Noun o\u2019 Clock and similar formats.\nI\u2019m committing to at least 2 art drops per week, even while managing IRL onboarding and event planning. The idea is to maintain a consistent and engaging presence on Farcaster and X.\n\n### Monthly collabs or commissions\n\nEach month, I\u2019ll work with different artists \u2014from the Nouns community or local Latin creatives\u2014 through paid collaborations or open briefs. Results can include murals, merch, or digital pieces.\n\nI\u2019ll also do my best to encourage new artists to share their work publicly on platforms like **Farcaster** and **X**, tagging the DAO and joining the ongoing conversation.\n\nWhenever possible, I\u2019ll guide and support those who are interested in **getting more involved** \u2014helping them connect with the **Discord Channels**, explore available funding opportunities, and understand how they can contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem. Especially the Nouns Amigos Discord and Duna Admin Discord, helping new artists and creatives get familiar with how proposals, voting, and contribution opportunities work.\n\nAs a spanish-speaker who already navigates these spaces and speaks both the artistic and Web3 language, I see it as part of my role to **accompany new voices** in finding their way into the Nouns universe \u2014through the channels they feel most comfortable in, and through the activities I\u2019ll be proposing along the way.\n\n---\n\n## Proof of Work\n\nOver the past year, I\u2019ve consistently contributed to Nouns through art, animation, organizing, and cultural exploration:\n\n- **109+ daily animated pieces** for **Noun o\u2019 Clock** \n- **24+ animations** (pixel and frame-by-frame) for contests and Farcaster/Nouns.gg rounds \n- **Illustrations and visual assets** for themed rounds, memes, and prop support \n- **1 official head trait** passed (Abacus Head) \n- **196+ traits uploaded** to Noundry Studio \u2014as the platform\u2019s top contributor \n\n### Commissioned work for:\n\n- Lil Nouns \n- Nounsgg \n- Noun o\u2019 Clock \n- Nouns Amigos \n- Individual Nouners \n- Ongoing visual experiments exploring and remixing the Nouns aesthetic. \n\nPlease feel free to visit my [miro board to check my work](https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVO07raP0=/)\n\n---\n\n## IRL Community Work\n\n![awegg](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJNoDSBPex.png)\n\nOn **December 14, 2024**, I organized a **Nouns-branded graphic fair** in Cali, Colombia, funded by **Nouns Amigos** (2.5 ETH), hosted at a cultural house downtown.\n\n- 250+ attendees \n- 35 local artists created Nounish [artworks](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V2J9fd_m3RJBD736qEC6oNpn4Kt5vRMnKLYxD4tc-ds) \n- Workshops, zines, stickers, interactive activities \n- **Noun 1384** was bought by a friend 15 January after working with me in the [graphic pieces](https://www.figma.com/design/c6YUe7iRPlGquaLezBHnGs/FN-Social?node-id=0-1&p=f) for the fair \n- A 3-meter-wide wooden Noggle installation, intervened live by attendees\n \n ![e2e2e2e2e2e2e2e2e2e2e2e2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyNFCrSDgg.png) \n\n## links\n\n- Drive Feria Gr\u00e1fica (december 2024) [Photos](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14D-H8CzLL8HKM6-q50mh49dVDHj5yJCm?usp=drive_link) \n- Drive Feria Gr\u00e1fica (december 2024) [Videos](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hfO-fQAv5FUL7wYxmFt5X6wBSiTV05eb?usp=drive_link) \n\nThis event **positioned me as a cultural organizer** in the local scene. It gave visibility to the Nouns identity in a physical, public way and helped me build lasting relationships with artists and spaces in the city.\n\nWe\u2019ve also organized **4 public activations** in different public spaces in Cali, using our **3-meter-wide wooden Nouns glasses** as a visual anchor. These interventions have involved local artists who were invited to paint, illustrate, and interact with the installation \u2014making Nouns physically present in the public sphere and engaging new audiences in creative, unexpected ways.\n\n![ewf](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkZGSwHPgx.png)\n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s Next\n\nI don\u2019t want to lose that momentum.\nThese 6 months of work will be key to:\n\n- Growing the audience and deepening local interest \n- Continuing collaborations with Latin American artists \n- Expanding the **Nounish art movement in Latin America**, starting from the ground up \n\n# Nounish Graphic Fair II\n\n**Expanding Nounish culture in Cali, Colombia**\n\n## When and where\n\n**October 18, 19** \n\n**Cali, Colombia** \n\nThis year\u2019s theme is inspired by **Halloween**, with activities centered around costumes and spooky visual culture.\n\n---\n\n## What is it?\n\nA two-day cultural and graphic fair celebrating art, design, and local creativity inspired by the Nouns universe.\n\nThis is the second edition of the Nounish Graphic Fair. With the first one we created a physical space for people to learn about onchain culture, Web3 tools, and permissionless creativity.\n\nThis second edition will be even bigger, with a strong community-building and onboarding component. It includes artist showcases, live painting, tattoos, music, workshops, and an open market of Nounish-inspired products.\n\n### Artist Microgrants & Workshops\n\nAs part of our open call, we\u2019ll allocate **$2,500** in microgrants to support selected artists in two key areas: **workshop facilitation** and **Nounish-inspired merch production**.\n\n- **$1,000** will be distributed among **5 selected workshop leaders** ($200 each) to support the development and execution of creative sessions during the fair. \n- **$1,500** will be used to support artists in the **production of Nounish-inspired products** or MVPs they propose \u2014 helping them turn their ideas into real, sellable pieces for the event. \n\nThese grants aim to remove barriers for artists to participate meaningfully, whether they\u2019re making artoys, zines, clothing, stickers, or exploring other formats. We'll offer not only financial support but also guidance throughout the production process.\n\nThis approach expands beyond last year\u2019s sticker-only model, welcoming a broader range of creators \u2014 from illustrators to tattooers, toy designers, and makers \u2014 and reinforces our commitment to a fair that truly reflects the diversity of Nounish creativity.\n\n| Category | Description | Cost (USD) |\n| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- |\n| Venue | Rental of venue for 3 days (2 event days + 1 setup/teardown) | $1,200 |\n| Tech & Stage | Rental of stage, sound system, microphones, lighting, projector or screen for showcases | $1,200 |\n| Event Setup & Logistics | Tables, furniture, signage, electricity, cleaning, drinks, power strips, bathroom supplies, staff | $1,000 |\n| Decor & Props | Halloween & Nounish-themed props, ambient decoration, setup and teardown labor | $1,700 |\n| Artist Hospitality | Food and refreshments for participating artists during the fair | $600 |\n| Artist Microgrants & Workshops | Support artist making their ideas a reality for the fair | $2,500 |\n| Nounish Booth & Giveaways | Setup and production of materials for Nounish booth.

The Nounish Graphic Fair creates a public, celebratory, and safe space for artists and audiences to explore these ideas together.\n\nAs an artist and organizer from Colombia, I've spent years trying to make Web3 visible through small events, talks, and cultural bridges. Base has made this easier by lowering the barrier to entry. Nouns helped me prove that crypto can be inclusive and joyful.\n\nThis is the kind of energy I want to keep pushing forward \u2014 and this fair is how we do it.\n\nThis proposal isn\u2019t about personal profit. I\u2019m not seeking financial return \u2014I\u2019m seeking a position within the local community of artists as a Nouns cultural organizer, a local bridge builder, and a benefactor for emerging artists.\n\nThe fair is free for artists to participate. We\u2019re not charging for tables or expecting them to sell a minimum. This is about creating a healthy, creative, Web3-friendly space \u2014especially in a place where crypto is often misunderstood.\n\nIf we manage to generate substantial revenue from Nounish merch produced by us as organizers, **100% of those profits will be returned to the DAO**.", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 841, "title": "Haus of Nouns presents: World of Apps \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 at ETHNYC", "description": "# Haus of Nouns presents: World of Apps \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 at ETHNYC\n\n## Note from the proposer:\n\nI understand that this timeline is incredibly compressed - for everyone.

The NFT art exhibition, live painting, and engaging conference created a memorable moment on the island of Bali. With this exceptional experience, we are confident that we will once again capture attention for the Coinfest Asia 2025 event.\n\n## Why it Matters?\n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/RBSPzPc.jpeg)\n\nCoinfest Asia (August 21-22, 2025) is the largest crypto event in Asia. This is a valuable opportunity to showcase Nouns to web3 and crypto users. With Nounscraft, we will spread Nouns through a unique mini-gallery that can attract the attention of more than 10,000 attendees. *[See the following Coinfest Asia deck.](https://coinfest.asia/deck)*\n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/MxsQZHV.jpeg)\n\nWe will be present at the Festival Zone, a highly strategic and easily visible location. Located at the front entrance of the Festival Zone, it will be convenient for people to see and visit Nounscraft. We are using a three-wheeled vehicle as our booth, so we only need to pay for the venue rental fee. This is a key advantage and unique feature of Nounscraft when participating in this event.\n\n## How Our Success Looks Like\n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/FX13uxI.jpeg)\n\n- **Our Strategy**\n - **Art Hackathon**\n - Hosting a live art hackathon using tote bags as the medium. \n - Everyone who attends can participate, provided they post on Twitter and tag Nouns DAO and Nounscraft. \n - Winners will be judged based on 50% evaluation by the Nounscraft team and 50% based on likes and comments on X.\\**note: subject to change based on feedback* \n - **Nounish Art Showcase**\n - Displaying 8 of the best artworks by Nouns artists. \n - The artworks will be printed and framed in 30x30cm frames. \n - The aim is to introduce Nouns artists and enhance the appeal of Nounscraft. \n - **Nouns Big Sculpture**\n - Collaborating with Nounsweek's first place winner to create a sculpture as the icon for this event. \n - It will be displayed next to the booth to add to the uniqueness of Nounscraft. \n - The sculpture can be used for future Nounscraft activities. \n - **Nounscraft Content Creation**\n - Creating engaging content about Nounscraft's journey in Bali. \n - Reviewing Coinfest Asia and the Nounscraft booth over two days. \n - Hosting mini games/interviews with Nounscraft visitors. \n - **Tweet for Free DIY**\n - To increase engagement on social media, we are offering a promotion where tweets on X will receive a free DIY package. \n - There is a daily quota of 50, and it can only be colored on site. \n - Visitors must tweet their DIY results and tag Nouns DAO and Nounscraft. \n- **Our Product** \n \n ![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/ESd51GF.jpeg)\n \n At this event, we will bring some merchandise and DIY packs to display at the Nounscraft booth.

The treasury has funded amazing projects, but without a way to predict outcomes, every proposal becomes a gamble.\n\nThe under explored solution? **Actively increasing revenue flowing back through smarter allocation mechanisms.**\n\n# Solution\n\n**Conditional Funding Markets (CFMs)** use prediction markets to evaluate proposals *before* funding is allocated. Instead of relying on token votes, CFMs harness the wisdom of markets to estimate the impact of proposals, with forecasters putting real money behind their predictions.\n\n### How CFMs Work\n\n1. **Nouns sets a goal:** This could be any objective related to revenue generation such as creating new revenue streams, generating returns from managing the treasury, or increasing average auction revenue. \n2. **Teams submit proposals:** Teams from across the ecosystem submit proposals to achieve the objective. \n3. **Markets predict impact:** Traders buy/sell shares based on which proposal they think will best achieve the goal. \n4. **Best prediction wins:** The proposal that the market estimates will have the highest impact gets funded. \n5. **Accountability built-in:** Traders who were wrong lose money, while those who were right profit. \n\n## Why CFMs Make Sense for Nouns\n\nAt its core, Nouns DAO exists to allocate treasury resources effectively. We've all seen the challenges: which proposals deserve funding? How much? Are incentives aligned?\n\nRemember the recent **OneKey Hardware Wallet and Burner Wallet proposals**? Instead of debating on the forum, imagine if both proposals were evaluated based on the market's estimate of how much revenue they would return to the DAO. \n\nThis applies to numerous proposals. **Treasury Management proposals** including [818](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/818) (Stake 1000 mETH) could be evaluated based on the estimated returns generated. **Larger scale proposals** such as [557](https://www.nouns.com/vote/557) (Nouns Deli), [450](https://www.nouns.com/vote/450) (Nounish Coffee Shop) or [757](https://www.nouns.com/vote/757) (Nounish Landmark at Art City) could be evaluated based on their revenue or the average increase to Nouns auction revenue. \n\nWhatever objective, CFMs ensure every dollar or ETH spent has a **measurable, predicted return.**\n\n# Results from Early Adopters\n\n**Optimism.** Butter launched the first CFM with Optimism in March which showed promising results. According to [OSO's dashboard,](https://app.hex.tech/00bffd76-9d33-4243-8e7e-9add359f25c7/app/S7-Futarchy-Measurement-030DNMOaixoVzLqVIZ5YCB/latest) futarchy generated $61.50 in TVL per OP spent, compared to $0.28 per OP spent from the Grants Council. That's a **219x improvement** in capital efficiency.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/ywkfGGJ.png \"Optimism CFM impact\")\n\nUniswap Foundation. In July, Uniswap used a CFM to allocate $100k for growing Unichain, selecting Morpho based on market predictions rather than committee decisions. After 30 days, [Morpho\u2019s TVL increased by $96M](https://app.hex.tech/0198aeda-0722-7003-9a6c-9035b6176164/app/CFM-experiment-report-030lejTeJf3zBQlcFp0v6L/latest) which represents $960 in TVL gain per $1 spent. \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/73Qc1h8.png \"Unichain CFM impact\")\n\nThese are the types of measurable results a Nouns Revenue Growth CFM would be capable of producing.\n\n# CFMs vs Status Quo\n\nCompared to votes, where wrong decisions face limited consequences, CFMs enable a fundamentally different approach to capital allocation. Here\u2019s how CFMs compare to the status quo.\n\n| Feature | Traditional funding (e.g. token votes or committees) | Conditional Funding Markets (CFMs) |\n| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| Performance-driven decisions | While proposals can include KPIs, decisions are often based on discretion, politics, or popularity | Markets forecast which proposals are expected to deliver the best outcome |\n| Responsive to new information | Voters or committee members often lack time, context, or incentives to be properly informed \u2013 especially as the number of proposals grow | Markets update continuously as new data or beliefs emerge |\n| Accountability if wrong | Decision makers face no direct consequences if they are wrong | Traders lose capital when they make incorrect forecasts |\n\n# Two-Part Plan \n\n## Part 1: Building the Infrastructure (This Proposal)\n\nBefore Nouns can use CFMs, we need to build an adapter so the Nouns treasury can directly fund CFMs. All contracts developed will be open sourced. This development grant funds the following:\n\n- **Permissionless Crowdfunding Module:** Allows Nouns DAO to deposit directly into CFMs \n- **Security Audit:** Ensures the module has been reviewed by a third-party \n- **Safeguard Mechanism:** Optional controls to prevent edge-case scenarios while maintaining decentralization \n\n### Implementation\n\n**1. Scoping & design** - Finalize design, development and deployment of crowdfunding module contracts. **2. Development** - Build smart contracts for the vault and make UI adjustments.\n3. **Testing & audit** - Run internal tests and receive a third-party audit.\n4. **Mainnet deployment & docs** - Deploy contracts and publish documentation.\n\n### Safeguard mechanism\n\nBeyond smart contract risk, a permissionless vault risks misallocating funds due to price volatility, oracle failures, or other distorted inputs. \n\nIntroducing a safeguard mitigates these risks. While the exact mechanism will be scoped during the initial phase, an example could be a timelock before funds are distributed where a community multisig could veto the decision.\n\nButter sees developing a safeguard as an important feature. However, it increases the resources required and Nouns may prefer a fully permissionless mechanism, so the safeguard has been included as a separate line item in the budget.\n\n### Timeline\n\n**Baseline:** 2-3 months to deploy the new vault contracts. **Potential delays:** audit findings (+2-4 wks) or extra safeguard R&D (+\\~2 wks) \n\n### Budget\n\n**Total Request:** $90,000\n\n**Breakdown:**\n\n- Crowdfunding module design, development, and deployment: $50,000 \n- Safeguard mechanism: research, design, development, and deployment $20,000 \n- Independent security audit: $20,000 \n\n## Part 2: Launching Nouns' First Revenue CFM (Follow-up Proposal)\n\nOnce the crowdfunding module is built, a follow up proposal will be made to fund the first Nouns Revenue Growth CFM.\n\n# Why Now\n\nEvery month without CFMs is potentially millions in suboptimal allocations. By passing this proposal, Nouns can:\n\n- **Transform the Break Even conversation** from cutting costs to growing revenue \n- **Proactively set objectives** to fund the next wave of Nounish builders \n- **Lead the next evolution** of on-chain governance, just like Nouns always has \n\nImagine a Nouns where every proposal comes with a prediction, every experiment has accountability, and every ETH spent has a purpose. That's the future CFMs enable.\n\n# Resources\n\n**Core docs:**\n\n- [Conditional Funding Markets | One-Pager](https://www.notion.so/14457e47719380b7acccfd9768db6afe?pvs=21) - Overview of mechanism & benefits \n- [Butter App & Docs](https://app.butter.markets/) - Live markets and technical docs \n\n**Recent media:**\n\n- [Prediction Markets Spaces with EF](https://x.com/jchaskin22/status/1944024815515357587) - Discussion with Robin Hanson, Ethereum Foundation, and app builders \n- [Conditional Funding Markets with Optimism, Ethereum, Allo Capital, Butter](https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1LyGBWovlyPJN) - Intro to the first Unichain CFM \n- [Better Decisions with Butter](https://writing.lavavc.io/p/better-decisions-with-butter) - Why CFMs will change how allocate is allocated", "category": "Infrastructure & Dev", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 849, "title": "Nouns @ DevConnect 2025", "description": "# Nouns @ DevConnect 2025\n\n# \ud83d\udccc TL;DR\n\nWe\u2019re bringing the art of storytelling, onchain minting, and risograph printing together in Buenos Aires for DevConnect 2025. \"The Nouns Fair: Draw ETH.

Built for real-world utility, Tabi supports fast and scalable on-chain payments across gaming, social, and digital commerce applications. Tabi is proudly community-driven, with a rapidly growing global user base and vibrant ecosystem spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Backed by BNB Chain Labs, Tabi shares the vision of making blockchain technology accessible to billions through practical, user-first infrastructure. \n\nTabi Social Accounts: \n\n1.

This activation aims to engage retail users, institutional players, and builders by showcasing the role of stablecoins, payment infrastructure, and cross-border value transfer in Korea\u2019s Web3 future. With a proven history of local community engagement, this event serves as a strategic opportunity to scale visibility, adoption, and partnerships in one of the most valuable markets globally.\n\n## Why Korea? Why Now?\n\nSouth Korea remains one of the most influential and strategic Web3 markets in the world \u2014 not only in terms of trading volume, but in shaping global trends around digital finance. It is a country where retail investors, fintech institutions, and emerging protocols all intersect, making it the ideal environment for infrastructure-focused projects.\n\nThe Korean Web3 economy is valued at over $50 billion, with a rapidly growing interest in real-world applications such as stablecoin usage, remittances, and on-chain payments. Korean consumers are highly familiar with fintech and mobile payments, and there is clear appetite for blockchain-based solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing behavior.\nTo establish long-term success in Asia, it is essential to build strong local communities, trust networks, and real-world partnerships \u2014 and Korea is the gateway to achieving that. What performs well in Korea often influences decisions in neighboring markets such as Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan. More importantly, success in Korea requires alignment with high standards of product usability, regulatory awareness, and credible branding \u2014 all of which this meetup will address.\n\n## Why Nouns is Fit for This\n\nNouns is not only a protocol or treasury \u2014 it is a cultural movement built on community-led branding, decentralized participation, and IRL storytelling. The Korean Web3 landscape, while technically advanced, is still in the early stages of engaging with protocols that represent open governance, community-first values, and globally recognized identity systems. This presents a unique window for Nouns to lead, by pairing its cultural strength with practical utility narratives.\n\nKorea is a market where visual identity, storytelling, and community activation matter deeply. Nouns \u2014 with its bold and recognizable branding \u2014 is particularly well-suited to achieve high recall, resonance, and user curiosity. An in-person event in Gangnam would expose Nouns to a new demographic of builders, stablecoin users, and institutional partners who may have previously engaged only at a distance. The physical presence of Nouns in this region reinforces its commitment to global inclusivity and long-term ecosystem building.\n\nMoreover, Nouns DAO has a history of supporting on-the-ground activations that are both creative and strategic. This event is no exception. It delivers real-world presence, institutional connection, and narrative expansion \u2014 all essential for positioning Nouns as a serious contributor to the next stage of decentralized finance and coordination infrastructure.\n\n## Why This Event Matters\n\nWe aim to position Nouns and Tabi as contributors to digital financial infrastructure, not just brands. This event is designed to highlight each project\u2019s long-term vision around stablecoin adoption, cross-border payments, and institutional partnerships, while also growing local community understanding and support.\n\nThis is not an experiment. We\u2019ve already co-hosted a successful branded gathering during Korea Blockchain Week 2023, called UDL KBW Narrative Day, which included founders and contributors from key modular infrastructure projects. That experience proved the demand for structured, localized Web3 events in Korea. This next iteration builds on that foundation \u2014 with stronger messaging, clearer goals, and focused alignment around payments and real-world value.\n\nAs a result, we were able to attract a broad base of users, establish strong brand recognition among the Korean Web3 community, and unlock new opportunities to collaborate with leading KOLs and media partners across the region.\n\nEvent: [https://x.com/0xProfessorJo/status/1833098953723941266](https://x.com/0xProfessorJo/status/1833098953723941266)\n\n## Event Plan\n\nThis meetup will take place in Gangnam, the center of Korea\u2019s crypto trading, fintech, and startup activity. The format is intimate, high-quality, and focused on impactful conversations around Web3 finance.\n\n### Planned Schedule:\n\n- Welcome & Opening \u2014 Hosted by Tabi & Nouns \n- Keynote: \u201cStablecoins & the Future of On-Chain Value in Asia\u201d \n- Fireside Chat: Cross-Border Payment Infrastructure \u2014 Where Are We Now? \n- Community Panel: Korea\u2019s Unique Role in Scaling On-Chain Finance \n- Networking Session: Curated for builders, institutions, and retail leads \n- Merch Showcase: Utility-driven giveaways (Tabi + Nouns co-branded items) \n- Telegram Engagement: In-event live feedback loop, onboarding new members \n\n### Target Audience:\n\n- Builders of DeFi, payments, and wallet applications \n- Korean stablecoin users and Web3 traders \n- Exchange partners, VCs, and payment aggregators \n- Crypto-native fintech companies \n- Local community managers and KOLs \n\n## Strategic Objectives\n\n- Strengthen brand trust and ecosystem visibility for Nouns and Tabi in Korea \n- Educate the local market on the real-world applications of stablecoins and blockchain payments \n- Onboard new community members through both retail and institutional engagement \n- Position both projects as credible, utility-focused protocols with regional expansion plans \n- Lay groundwork for integrations and partnerships with Korean Web3 and fintech companies \n\n> This event will set a precedent for high-quality, mission-driven protocol activations in Korea. With the right storytelling, coordination, and local partnerships, we believe this will open long-term opportunities for Nouns DAO and Tabi Chain to grow real adoption and institutional trust in East Asia.\n\n## About the Organizer\n\nThis event is led by a long-standing community contributor known in the Korean Web3 ecosystem as \uc870\uc149\uc5f4\uc0ac (Joseph), a respected community leader who has been actively advocating for Korean users since the early days of Web3 adoption. The nickname \u201c\uc5f4\uc0ac\u201d \u2014 meaning \u201cactivist\u201d or \u201cchampion\u201d \u2014 was not self-given, but earned through relentless effort in representing community interests, voicing concerns to project teams, and ensuring that Korea is never an afterthought in global crypto narratives.\n\nAs the Korean community lead for Tabi, I have built deep relationships with the \u201cTabizens\u201d of Korea \u2014 not only through events and announcements, but through consistent, daily engagement, language localization, support in Telegram and Discord, and real-time feedback loops with the Tabi core team. My close understanding of Korean retail behavior, pain points, and cultural dynamics gives this event a uniquely local foundation that no outsider can replicate.\n\nThis isn\u2019t just an event \u2014 it\u2019s a continuation of the grassroots movement I\u2019ve helped shape, rooted in trust, transparency, and two-way communication with one of the most important markets in Web3.\n\nSocial Account: [https://x.com/Joseph8996](https://x.com/Joseph8996)", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 851, "title": "Update Approved Client List", "description": "# Update Approved Client List\n\nClients must be approved via a DAO proposal to receive rewards through the Client Incentives Program.

Each piece will be minted as an open edition + 500 risograph/physical prints. \n- **Artists' compensation \u2192** we are increasing this budget to raise compensation and add a couple of artists (shout out to Dusk for suggesting increasing this budget!) \n- **Community schedule \u2192** time slots for Nouns builders to host lightning talks, activations, or workshops. \n- **Nouns Gallery \u2192** video, illustration, animation, and other media looped/displayed. \n- **Noun o'Clock \u2192** we'll celebrate the birth of a Noun every day at DevConnect. \n- **Full nounish art environment \u2192** booth walls entirely covered with Nouns art. Selected projects/stories will be showcased (e.g., Nouns Glass Frog, school in Uganda, e-Sports, etc.). \n- **Collaboration with artist [Bure](https://farcaster.xyz/bure) \u2192** leading the booth design / visual direction. \n\n# \ud83d\udccc TL;DR\n\nWe\u2019re bringing the art of storytelling, onchain minting, and risograph printing together in Buenos Aires for [DevConnect](https://devconnect.org/) 2025. \"The Nouns Fair: Draw ETH. Mint ETH. Print ETH.\" is a hands-on activation where artists will jam, draw, mint on Ethereum, and print their creations live with a risograph.\n\nIt\u2019s part art residency, part minting lab, part print studio \u2014 and all Ethereum x Nouns.\n\n![drawETH_mintETH_printETH_-min](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyWpw3y5gg.jpg)\n\n# \ud83c\udfa1 The Nouns Fair: Draw ETH.

This creative space will welcome thousands of the 10\u201320k expected attendees throughout the week, showcasing Ethereum as a home for art and culture by hosting artists who merge visual storytelling with Ethereum x Nouns and risograph printing.\n\nThe minting and printing lab will operate during DevConnect throughout the week, where artists will:\n\n- Celebrate the Noun of the day at Noun o'clock \n- Develop mini narratives & visual stories \n- Learn about NFTs in a no-BS way \n- Mint their creations as collectibles on Ethereum \n- Print their work live on a vintage-style risograph machine \n\nAnd general attendees will:\n\n- Learn about Nouns in a dedicated showcase \n- Celebrate the Noun of the day at Noun o'clock \n- Get Nouns' merch and swag \n- Meet and greet the nounish artists \n- Meet and share ideas with the Nouns community \n\n## \ud83e\uddd1\u200d Featured Artists\n\nWe'll invite a curated cohort of at least 10 artists (because Ethereum's 10th anniversary!) to participate in a short-term art residency at the Ethereum World's Fair. A mix of established artists within the Nouns ecosystem and renowned artists in the Argentine illustration scene, helping to root this project in the local creative community.\n\nEach artist will create a final artwork to be minted as an open edition and produced as a run of 500 risograph prints. We'll have different artists working on their creations each day, which will be printed at the end of the day, for five consecutive days. On the sixth day, we'll bring everyone onsite to participate in a free jam to close the event.\n\nWe are currently in talks with several artists and will announce the final lineup in future updates. ;) \u2013 our first confirmed artist is [Kidd](https://farcaster.xyz/holakidd)! \u2728\n\n![confirmed_artist_kidd-min](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkvPjty5ge.png)\n\n## \ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f Nouns Environment and Gallery\n\nThe space will be fully covered with Nouns art featuring representative projects, making the space as nounish as possible.

A celebration attended by thousands of people every day for a week.\n\n![reference-noun-o-clock](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJsuc-05xl.jpg)\n\n*Image reference: This is Nouns; ETHGlobal Lisbon 2023.*\n\n---\n\nDevConnect is Ethereum's most relevant and highly expected event of the year. We will transform the space into an art lab, where attendees will witness the creative process, engage with artists, and their art. We want to create a connection with Ethereum through the playful spirit of Nouns.

This is a proposal to increase the yield of the Nouns treasury ETH/LST and increase LST diversity by utilizing Origin Ether (OETH). This proposal was inspired by the Mantle proposal to [unstake](https://nouns.wtf/vote/810) ETH from stETH to be used within other LSTs for increased treasury diversification.\n\n# Motivation:\n\nOrigin submitted a 1 ETH proposal to Nouns back in 2023 to test out safely earning the DAO\u2019s ETH a yield through using OETH. However, this proposal did not pass, largely due to poor timing and disagreements with the Nouns fork.\n\nThe proposal to Nouns was later followed up with a 1 ETH [proposal](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/165) to test staking OETH within the Lil Nouns treasury. After several months a supplementary [proposal](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/203/description) was passed to stake a larger amount of ETH into OETH, where the Lil Nouns treasury has been safely [earning](https://etherscan.io/address/0xd5f279ff9EB21c6D40C8f345a66f2751C4eeA1fB#asset-tokens) a yield ever since. OETH performance reports were shared with the DAO after [30](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreihopcixhvpcyvrhpsl5i3ya4ii6ckqw5vlhf2e4xeut7aywnspv3m), [60](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeigwtvuuyawbejkjb2njjlbcvy44rkc24gcajscjjjnaquig3phrim), [90](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeihg5oisg5e6srs35ffy3b3r4kjpqfvlgikiyqm2jvsmgn7yibgcyq), and [180](https://blush-rapid-impala-153.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeifsh7jybq26h76vxktioarhd4py7s7aabwhvwivqorbetfrjxvvfi) days to give the DAO full transparency of OETH\u2019s performance alone and versus Lido\u2019s stETH, RocketPool's rETH, and Frax\u2019s frxETH. We believe OETH has now been used within Lil Nouns long enough to warrant another attempt at a proposal for Nouns to safely use OETH for both yield generation and treasury diversification. \n\nAs mentioned in proposal 810 & 818, it is clear that the Nouns community is once again interested in earning yield on the treasury and extending the project runway. Proposal 810 & 818 signal that the community would prefer to continue earning yield with LSTs other than stETH, rather than eliminating risk completely and converting LSTs entirely back to ETH to be untouched. This proposal was not meant to replace the mETH proposal from Mantle, but rather to compliment it, and further increase diversity between LSTs within the Nouns treasury.\n\n# Specification:\n\nThere have been several changes from the last version of this proposal, developed from discussions within the Nouns community:\n\n1. The amount of ETH in the proposal was increased from 300 to 1000. By having 1k OETH in the treasury, the treasury will be split 1/3 each between Lido, Mantle, and Origin LSTs, and will lead to a greater yield generation and diversification within Nouns. To achieve 1k OETH, Nouns will unwrap 826 wstETH as the first function in the proposal. \n2. Origin will provide the Nouns DAO a delegation of xOGN, so that Nouns can participate directly within the Origin Protocol DAO. The delegated amount will start at the level equal to most current UGP delegates, or about 100k xOGN. The [proposal](https://snapshot.box/#/s:origingov.eth/proposal/0x6b3f06e99442aafb31533d12ac8d174d95566de4b78406161e7d2387be93a94e) to provide non-university organizations a governance delegation passed last week - with this delegation Nouns will have a say in each Origin Protocol governance vote, and will have enough voting power to submit new proposals on Origin's [snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:origingov.eth) as well as on-chain proposals on Origin's [dapp](https://app.originprotocol.com/#/ogn/governance) (something that is not possible on the Mantle [snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:bitdao.eth/create/gt1mu) if not whitelisted). OGN governance can directly update/improve OETH, as the OETH protocol is fully controlled by OGN (whereas the mETH protocol is controlled by [COOK](https://docs.mantle.xyz/meth/governance/tokenomics), which is a different governance token than the token Mantle delegated to Nouns) \n3. Origin will co-market Nouns to Origin's user base and community of thousands of ETH holders, users, and participants to ensure that the Nouns brand is in front of as wide an audience as possible. \n4. At least one Origin Protocol representative will continue attending Nouns DAO/subDAO calls and/or events as we have been the last 2 years and will continue to be a direct line for any questions regarding OETH staking or the other Origin Protocol [products](https://app.originprotocol.com/). The Origin Protocol representative can also be used as a resource for insight in the greater ETH staking world. \n\n## Proposal actions\n\nThis proposal has 3 function calls:\n\n1. unwrap the wstETH into stETH \n2. approve the Lido exit queue contract \n3. request a redemption (withdrawal) from Lido for its underlying ETH at a 1:1 rate \n\nStep 2/2 of this proposal will feature 4 function calls:\n\n1. Claim the ETH from Lido \n2. Using the claimed ETH, Mint OETH at a 1:1 rate through Origin's Zapper \n3. Wrap the OETH into wOETH to avoid unnecessary daily income\u2011tax liability for the DUNA \n4. Opt-in the Nouns wallet for yield \n\n## OETH Overview \n\n[Origin Ether](https://www.originprotocol.com/oeth) was launched in May 2023 and is an ETH-pegged ERC20 that generates yield while sitting in your wallet. Similar to stETH, OETH yield is paid out daily and automatically (sometimes multiple times per day) through a positive rebase in the form of additional OETH, proportional to the amount of OETH held. OETH is a full-fledged LST with an extremely tight peg (1:1 redemptions to ETH thru Origin\u2019s [ARM](https://docs.originprotocol.com/protocol/arm)) and high yields thanks to DVT direct staking. OETH earns its yield from 3 core components:\n\n- Beacon chain staking through [SSV/P2p](https://grafana.originprotocol.com/public-dashboards/68227b64cc33446886b16a0c024361ea) \n- The [Curve AMO](https://docs.originprotocol.com/yield-bearing-tokens/core-concepts/amo) \n- Those [opted-out](https://docs.originprotocol.com/yield-bearing-tokens/core-concepts/rebasing-and-smart-contracts) from receiving the yield - any users LPing in a DEX pool are giving up their OETH yield (in exchange for trading fees & emissions) to those opted-in, leading to a boost in yield \n\nOETH can be wrapped into a DUNA-compliant wOETH to change how the yield is received. wOETH is a ERC-4626 tokenized vault designed to accrue yield in price rather than in quantity. When you wrap OETH, you get back a fixed number of wOETH tokens. This number will not go up - you will have the same number of wOETH tokens tomorrow as you have today. However, the number of OETH tokens that you can unwrap to will go up over time, as wOETH earns yield at the same rate as standard OETH. The wOETH to OETH exchange rate can be read from the contract (0xDcEe70654261AF21C44c093C300eD3Bb97b78192, function number 16), or via the OETH dapp.\n\nOETH\u2019s meticulous design provides increased yields while protecting against centralization and slashing events. Current and historical OETH yields can be seen via the OETH [analytics page](https://analytics.originprotocol.com/oeth/) at all times. [Proof of Yield](https://analytics.originprotocol.com/oeth/poy/) tracks every OETH yield event as the yield is distributed.\n\n## Security Risk Mitigation\n\nOETH has been operational for over 2 years with a TVL of 54,000+ ETH ($235m+), zero exploits or security incidents to date and has demonstrated a strong commitment to smart contract security as shown by our past audits and active ImmuneFi [bug bounty](https://docs.originprotocol.com/security-and-risk/bug-bounties) with a max bounty of $1,000,000 for critical findings. Origin has a continuous auditing agreement with OpenZeppelin and yAudit to review 100% of the OETH and OUSD smart contract changes. All audits can be found [here](https://docs.originprotocol.com/security-and-risk/audits).\n\nExternal OETH risk assessments:\n\n- [Prisma Risk](https://www.llamarisk.com/research/collateral-risk-woeth-addendum1) - Asset Risk Assessment Addendum: Origin Ether (OETH) \n- [LlamaRisk full collateral risk assessment](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-add-support-for-wrapped-oeth-woeth-to-aave-v3/19285/2) supporting the onboarding of OETH to the Aave V3 instance \n- [Chaos Labs collateral risk assessment](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-add-support-for-wrapped-oeth-woeth-to-aave-v3/19285/3) supporting the onboarding of OETH to the Aave V3 instance \n\nMany members of the Origin team, including both founders, are holding a significant portion of their personal wealth in OETH. Origin Protocol\u2019s corporate treasury is also holding millions of dollars in OETH. We have skin in the game and are willing to put our own money at risk with the code we have written.\n\nThere are no lockups with this proposal, Nouns can move in and out of OETH and wOETH as the Nouncil, core team, DAO, and community desires. OETH remains completely liquid at all times and can be spent in the same way as its backing collateral, if unexpected expenses were to arise.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 859, "title": "Add \"Comb\" head to the nouns collection", "description": "# Add \"Comb\" head to the nouns collection\n\n## TLDR:\n\nThis proposal adds a new **head** trait: Comb\n\nShowcase Noun\n\n![Showcase Noun](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJJf5bLole.png)\n\nTrait artwork\n\n![Trait artwork](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyufMMLsle.png)\n\nCircle crop\n\n![Circle crop](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SyuRWGLixl.png)\n\nPalette: 2 colors\n\n![new part](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkEMGWIole.png)\n\nHere are some auto-generated combinations of the new part with existing Nouns parts:\n\n![Preview 1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkK8DzIjgl.png)\n![Preview 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkkGM-8olg.gif)\n\n## Some words from the artist\n\nHere\u2019s the OG Comb head trait.

In that time **we have retrofunded** \\~**$2537 USD to 14 hosts who ran 34 events in 14 worldwide locations for 954 attendees.**\n\nThis proposal aims to **sustainably fund Nounish IRL events** by giving Nouns holders the ability to propose and vote on monthly IRL community events. **Retrofunding is entirely yield-based**, which means **no depletion of treasury**. To accomplish this, **we request 64 ETH** from the Nouns treasury to a \u2154 multisig (monkeydlinks.eth, willywonka.eth, indexcard.eth) which will deposit the funds into the Black Flag Collective PoolTogether yield vaults. These funds can be withdrawn at any time. The principal remains untouched, while the yield sustainably funds **Nounish gatherings around the world**, aligning treasury growth with real-world community building.\n\n# URL -> IRL\n\n**In real life (IRL) events aren\u2019t just fun, they\u2019re also culture-building, meme-spreading, DAO catalysts.** IRL events allow existing community members a place to share and strengthen their work, and provide an easy, friendly way for new community members to get involved.\n\nNouners have used the power of IRL events in the past - flagship events like Nouns Town, Hacker House @ ETH Denver, Global PizzaDAO Parties, and more intimate events at Farcon have all had a hand in proliferating the brand.\n\nThe downside of big, splashy events like the above is that they cost a lot of money, require a lot of effort, and can be difficult to judge in terms of success. **Monthly community-driven events require less time/money, and provide a strong channel for community engagement, including onboarding more Nouners to the community.**\n\n# How It Works\n\n**1. Nouns Deposit ETH**\n\n- For this proposal, 64 ETH is deposited into a \u2154 multisig (monkeydlinks.eth, willywonka.eth, indexcard.eth) \n- The multisig will deposit the ETH into the Black Flag Collective yield vaults.\n - The yield vaults are PoolTogether v5 [USDC](https://basescan.org/token/0x119d2bc7bb9b94f5518ce30169457ff358b47535) and [WETH](https://basescan.org/token/0x23Cd31beEc8980E7F8AEb7E76D45Fe3da4de1592) pools on Base, with AAVE as a yield source. PoolTogether v5 contracts have been running for 2 years with no breaches. They were audited by Sherlock, Code4rena, and 0xMacro. \n- **Yield is distributed monthly** \u2014 principal sits securely in the vault contract. \n\n**2. Community Voting**\n\n- Each month, any Noun holder can [propose to retrofund an IRL event](https://tally.so/r/wLoPov). \n- Nouns/BlackFlag voters vote on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.box/#/s:black-flag.eth) to decide which events are retrofunded. \n- We expect 0.2 - 0.25 ETH/month to distribute monthly based on current AAVE yields (3%). \n\n**3. Reporting & Impact**\n\n- Hosts must put Nounish branding on their online promotion and post photos of the event online (ie. Farcaster, X, Instagram) to be considered for funding. \n- This creates monthly Nounish cultural capital both IRL and online, transparently and sustainably. \n\n# About Black Flag Collective\n\n**[Black Flag Collective](https://blackflagcollective.org/) is a project aimed at fostering IRL connections through sustainable onchain infrastructure**. We're a community-run collective that helps bridge the gap between URL and IRL through sustainable funding for real-world meetups \u2014 without draining treasuries. \n\nSince launch, **we\u2019ve hosted 34 events, empowered 14 different hosts, and brought together 954 attendees across places like Paris, Kyoto, Los Angeles, Toronto, Latvia, Africa**, and more \u2014 all curated through open Snapshot voting. Black Flag Collective is a project by the BCard Foundation, which also launched the [Nounish Debit Card](https://getbcard.io/) in the US 2024.\n\n# Why Nouns Should Support This\n\n- \ud83c\udf0d **Community Growth**: Incentivize IRL gatherings that proliferate the Nouns meme. \n- \ud83e\udd73 **Engagement & Utility**: Noun holders can propose and vote on events on a monthly basis. \n- \ud83e\ude99 **Sustainability**: Funds are not spent, only yield. The principal can be returned at any time. \n- \ud83d\udd0e **Transparency**: Public multisig, onchain payments, open voting. \n\n# Request\n\nWe\u2019re requesting a **64 ETH deposit** from the Nouns treasury into the Black Flag Collective PoolTogether vaults, managed by a multisig. PoolTogether v5 pools have been audited and running for 2 years with no exploits (audited by Sherlock, Code4rena, and 0xMacro). They are drawing yield from AAVE, a battle-tested and trusted collateralized lending protocol. \n\nLet\u2019s make **IRL Nounish vibes inevitable** \u2014 one meetup at a time.", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 866, "title": "Nouns Breakers competing in Dubai & documentary premiere", "description": "# Nouns Breakers competing in Dubai & documentary premiere\n\n## TLDR\n\n- Nouns Breakers invited to compete in Dubai on December 19-20th \n- \"Nouns Breakers \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 A Movement\" documentary premiere at Nouns Amigos Discord call on September 30th \n\n**Why are there 2 subjects in one prop?** Well, the two go hand in hand.

over the Amphitheater at the main Devconnect venue to host the App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8, where 10 established teams will pull back the curtain on their challenges, wins, and roadmaps for 2026. \n\nLike he did at World of Apps, Jason Chaskin will curate the speaker line up for the Town Hall.\n\nI, Benjamin Latsko (latsko.eth), will also present a perspective on Nouns as one of the 10 presentations at the Ethereum App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \u2014 working title: *\"Nouns, a Brand as an Application\".* \n\nWorth mentioning:\n\n1. I will share the presentation with you beforehand and reach out to individual community members for input, including an activity for NOC. If you already have ideas, please get in touch. \n2.

Supporting Sponsors: WIP \n\n![Ethereum App Town Hall](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1BbVsN2gg.jpg)\n\n# Why an \"App Town Hall\"?\n\nEthereum is entering a new chapter. From apps to culture, builders are changing people\u2019s lives with Ethereum. \n\nIt\u2019s time to celebrate, learn, and share those wins together. \n\nFor that, we are creating a dedicated forum at Devconnect: the **App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8** \n\nThe App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 creates space for teams to present their learnings, directions, and achievements. It\u2019s about recognizing what\u2019s working, spotlighting momentum, and giving Ethereum\u2019s cultural layer the stage it deserves. \n\n# Programming\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkN9IiN2lg.jpg)\n\nWe have 2 main blocks at the event which is hosted at the historic Amphitheater of Devcon's main venue La Rural \u2013 The speaker series as the Town Hall and the Creative Studio.\n\nI'm particularly happy about the space we were able to get because it's flooded with natural light, big doors and windows so that we have great air circulation and the perfect setup for an open forum: try to picture the Ethereum App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 with nounish visual cues everywhere you look.\n\n![](https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExY24wa2VlNm03c28yOXhia2xxZTdiYzVwejUxdjg4M3l3Ymk3Y3JiZCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/HPcbZgGdsQhy5FsDMG/giphy.gif)\n\n## 1) The App Town Hall\n\nEach team will have 15 minutes to share *behind-the-scenes* insights under the headline: **The State of \u201cInsert App Name\u201d**. \n\nChapters may include: \n\n1. Who we are \n2. Where we came from \n - Challenges + how we solved them \n - Wins \n3. Where we are \n - Current challenges + solutions in progress \n - Wins \n4.

This year\u2019s theme, Space(s), explores the intersections between the physical, digital, latent, and outer worlds, pushing beyond promptable boundaries into experimental artistic and technological frontiers. The event convenes a carefully selected community of artists, inventors, technologists, entrepreneurs, writers, and collectors who collaborate, experiment, and create across media\u2014bridging digital and physical spaces while fostering lifelong friendships and future collaborations.\nNow in its fifth edition, Glitch has become a hub for innovation at the crossroads of art and technology, described by past participants as transformative, playful, and intellectually generative. Previous residencies have focused on themes such as blockchain as a medium, the metaverse, alternative intelligences, and \u201cLife is a Glitch,\u201d leading to notable projects like NFT protocols, interactive art installations, and cross-disciplinary startups. Set in the serene countryside with communal living, creative workshops, and shared spaces, Glitch offers not just an incubator for cutting-edge ideas but a collaborative family dedicated to shaping the future of digital art and technological expression.\nGlitch operates as a crucible for experimentation at the intersection of art, technology, and governance. Its community is highly interdisciplinary, encompassing artists, technologists, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are accustomed to prototyping new ideas across both digital and physical domains. Over its past editions, Glitch has consistently incubated projects that push conceptual and technical boundaries (e.g., NFT protocols, interactive installations, experimental governance models) that mirror the kinds of decentralized architectures Nounish DecentraLab seeks to explore. The residency\u2019s collaborative, immersive format fosters deep trust and long-term partnerships, creating the conditions for radical ideas to be stress-tested in practice before being scaled to policy or institutional contexts. \n\n## Proposal:\n\n- Sponsor Glitch 2025\n- Send two Nouns delegates to Glitch 2025\n- Build a Nouns track within Glitch 2025\n\n## Request:\n\n- 20,000 USDC \n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHpeople.png)\n\n## GLITCH Residency\n\nGLITCH gathers a collection of artists, engineers, musicians, researchers, performers, entrepreneurs, etc. to work together towards the production of collaborative endeavors. We strive to empower people with ideas, visions, and expertise, while providing space for our attendees to reach deep into their minds and forge better models together. We exist to disrupt the status quo and to manifest positive solutions for society. The goal is to bring the right people, in the right place, at the right time, and then let the magic happen.\nMore details about the fifth edition of GLITCH can be found here\nBelow is a snapshot of the participants for the upcoming edition:\n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/glitch5.png)\n\n## \n\nGlitch is a creative environment where people coalesce to create new artworks and develop new projects or initiatives that align with the value of openness, collaboration and public goods (see below for examples of projects that emerged out of the previous GLITCH residencies). Everything produced during GLITCH is done in a collaborative manner, and every software or protocol developed is released under an open source license.\n\n## \n\nPrevious GLITCH Outcomes\n\nGLITCH is highly in line with the Nounish value of public goods, openness and collaboration. Below is a list of projects that emerged from the previous editions of GLITCH:\n- REMIX NFT to promote a culture of remix within the NFT space: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EJ4ywCeEU6ZG0VODaDgK0SzWxjWgyYR8LwctfRpti4I/edit](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EJ4ywCeEU6ZG0VODaDgK0SzWxjWgyYR8LwctfRpti4I/edit) - IMPACT NFT: [https://pdefilippi.com/impact/](https://pdefilippi.com/impact/), using NFT to promote climate positive solutions, in collaboration with Tomas Saraceno\n- Eco-coin: a 2 weeks gathering in Wilbur, California, to design standards and protocols to reward ecologically-friendly activities through voluntary markets for impact certificates\n- Token-bound License, to embed legal licenses directly into the tokens: [https://james.grimmelmann.net/files/articles/token-bound-nft-license.pdf](https://james.grimmelmann.net/files/articles/token-bound-nft-license.pdf) - Feral File exhibition (ecotone): [https://objkt.com/collection/feralfile-20-ecotone](https://objkt.com/collection/feralfile-20-ecotone), promoting collaboration between artists and blockchain engineers.\n- GLITCH 2.5 in Portugal to support the creation of an art festival for NFT artists and builders / makers.\n- Bio-glitch: [https://glitch.bio/](https://glitch.bio/) - a collective interested in exploring the use of blockchain and web3 for supporting the environment.\n- GLITCH Protocol: We have developed the Glitch protocol to facilitate artist collaboration by allowing artworks to interact with one another in an asynchronous way through smart contract communication. When a new work is created using the Glitch protocol, or when someone interacts with a work relying on the protocol, data about the work is recorded on the blockchain, so that other artworks relying on the Glitch protocol can react to it. The code of the glitch protocol is available on github, as well as a demo renderer which pulls data from all the tokens connected to glitch protocol. \n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHview.png)\n\n- Off-Grid AI Manifesto: We drafted the Off-grid AI manifesto that challenges the traditional boundaries of AI Art. Indeed, today, it is difficult as an artist to use AI in order to create something really \u201cnovel\u201d because of the limitations imposed on the promptable latent space, which constrain generative AI model to hyper-aesthetics or hyper-realistic outputs. The manifesto invites off-grid AI artists to escape from the imposed constraints of these models, and reach out outside of what the model is trained to deliver.\n- Mancy Manifesto: We drafted the Mancy manifesto, introducing a new artistic movement, focusing on the creation of synthetic life through artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. It\u2019s not about bio-Art, where artists use life to create art, it\u2019s about using technology to breathe life into something that would be inanimate otherwise. \n- GLITCH on Mars sub-residency: Led by Gene Kogan and Xander Steenbrugge, this project extends glitch art exploration to Bombay Beach, in California, bringing lots of glitchers to explore Artificial Intelligence in a Martian environment.\n- GLITCH @ Fey Arts Festival: We\u2019re already preparing for an upcoming arts festival, Fey Arts, that will exhibit many of the works made by GLITCH. A group of 10 Glitchers will be there showcasing their works at the intersection of art and technology, in a fully natural setting.", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 872, "title": "Double Down on Nounspace - v4", "description": "# Double Down on Nounspace - v4\n\nThank you all for your feedback and support on our [last prop](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/825), which almost passed but fell short of quorum.

Each space is assembled from a collection of mini apps and building blocks we call **[Fidgets](https://vimeo.com/1011777733)**. Users can expand their space with **Tabs** and visually style each Tab with **Themes**.\n\n![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeifpz5xp6lkrne72zsmmrfrad2zcaxzw3juxxbctvlwqbkeripugti)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1Ml9Gy6yx.png \"TL;DR\")\n\n**The Plan**\n\n- **By Nouns, For Nouns** \n \n Make noun.space the center of the Nounish community, and **the mini app** for Nouns: the best place to talk about, learn about, and get involved in Nounish projects, content, events, and subcommunities. \n- **Secure additional grants from aligned communities to develop Blank.Space** \n \n Extend the space system so any community can easily spin up their own hub/mini app. These will be platforms with identical capabilities, but uniquely customized, acting as modular bespoke hubs for each community. \n \n \\*(We\u2019re working with Clanker to build out the first version of this for them)\\* \n- **10,000,000 $SPACE** (Streamed to Nouns over 2 months) \n \n Providing Nouns with a stake in the expanded space ecosystem.\n Claimable by proposal at any point in the future. \n\n### The Ask\n\n- **15 ETH** (streamed over 3 months) These funds will enable our core team to continue building our vision for at least **3 months** (and we pledge to continue hosting noun.space for a minimum of **2 years**). \n \n Our team will be dedicated to developing the features and systems described in this proposal - custom built for Nouns, with an eye towards how they can be useful for communities everywhere. \n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B10Spqlayl.png \"Strategy\")\n\nHere's how we get there:\n\n**1. By Nouns, For Nouns** \n\nFirst and foremost, we want to bring existing Nounish tools into the same space so that our community is less scattered. Then we want to take the next step forward to build new tools for the unresolved challenges our community still has. \n\n- Enable seamless voting in the Nouns mini app as well as a flow for delegating votes to embedded Farcaster or Base app wallet \n- Raise awareness of projects and initiatives in our ecosystem \n- Put faces to the name - contextualize who our members are \n\nFor more details on how this will look, check out the [Nouns-Focused Section](http://http://#The-Nounish-Homepage) of our proposal.\n\n**2. Full Decentralization** \n\nThe frontend code for Nounspace and all space systems as well as the space config data for all spaces and homebases will be hosted on IPFS. Nounspace.eth will be configured to route to the IPNS Hash for the frontend, and the ENS name will be transferred to the Nouns DAO Treasury. \n\nBlank.space will make it easy for any community, Nounish and beyond, to host their own space system in the same fully decentralized fashion. \n\n**3. Community Focused Tooling** \n\nMake the space system the ideal hub for communities. \n\nInstead of competing with Farcaster and Base to be the best generic client, our focus is on creating community tooling that can exist within these platforms - customized to each community's needs. (Ex: [Token Spaces](https://vimeo.com/1056141221) for Clanker)\n\n[![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeialylp2e5s6ggkd5bktiktsm77mdtjbaetn6a3rlqwjwjn4gdsuai \"https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182\")](https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182)\n\n**4. Additional Grants**\n\nWe will seek additional funding from aligned ecosystems that would either be interested in a space system for their community and/or are seeking to fund projects like Nounspace/Blank.space (open source, decentralized, public goods). \nShoutout to internoun.eth for already connecting us to and securing soft commitments from multiple top ecosystems.\n\n**5. Blank.Space**\n\nOnce we\u2019ve established Nounspace as a primary hub (measured by the majority of active Nouners using the Nouns mini app on a weekly basis) we\u2019re excited to take the powerful platform we've built, and make it easy for any community to deploy their own version.\n\nThese custom space systems will have their own domain, branding, homepage, directories, and default configs for profiles and dashboards that the members can further customize. Not only will noun.space be the first ever \"channel client,\" it will become the base template upon which all channels and communities can deploy their platforms.\n\nAny community will be able to deploy their own space system.\n\nPowered by \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n> **Case Study - Clanker.Space** Clanker has shown strong interest in noun.space since our recent launch of token spaces (deployer customizable homepages for every token).\n> Our teams are actively exploring the deployment of clanker.space, a white-labeled version of noun.space focused entirely on the Clanker ecosystem. While there\u2019s no guarantee that Clanker will adopt clanker.space as their primary platform, our goal is to work closely with them and build whatever is necessary to make it happen.\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy7YCCWTJe.png)\n\nFor more information on nounspace and our vision for [blank.space](https://blank.space), watch the extended version of our [recent presentation from World of Apps](https://youtu.be/3677Z0ibP4g) and/or [read the blank.space spec](https://nounspace.notion.site/Blank-Space-community-clients-1840572746cd804391f1ef9ad000444d?source=copy_link).\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyFXFFgTkx.png \"Nouns-focused Nounspace\")\n\nHere is our vision of what a fully Nouns-focused noun.space will look like.\n\n*We will continue brainstorming and soliciting feedback from the community on this work through a public Camp Topic. Additionally, anyone will be able to extend the functionality of noun.space, both through our open source codebase and by permissionlessly deploying mini apps.*\n\n### THE Nouns Mini App\n\nEvery community should have a mini app, and as a top community on Farcaster and Base, this rings especially true for Nouns. The Nouns mini app is already live and features all of the functionality of Nounspace. Because Farcaster and Base mobile apps don\u2019t allow connecting external wallets to mini apps, we\u2019ll implement a simple flow for Nouners that wish to vote from Farcaster or Base app to delegate to their embedded wallet.\n\nIn addition to the following roadmap, we\u2019ll continue improving the Nouns mini app based on community feedback with the goal of getting the majority of active Nouners using the mini app weekly.\n\n### The Nounish Homepage\n\n- Noun.space will be dedicated to all things Nouns. \n \n Including but not limited to: \n \n - Auctions, intro to Nouns, and more (powered by Nouns.com) \n - The Nouns channel feed (powered by Farcaster) \n - Auctions (powered by Nouns.com) \n - Governance (powered by Camp) \n - Documentation (powered by Nouns.center) \n - Projects (powered by Nouns.world) \n - IRL Locations (powered by Nounspot.com) \n\n### A Nounish Directory\n\n- The Members directory will feature all nouns holders/delegates, displaying their Nouns held/delegated and linking to their profile space. \n- The Projects directory will display a growing list of Nounish projects with Farcaster accounts/channels, organized into categories. \n\n![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeigjiiri62q6sv7ifl72y6ktxm54b4ntppbdvzltxmrdha3msmy7a4)\n\n[Rough demo of a directory of Nouns members (WIP)](https://eloquent-sunburst-2d95f1.netlify.app/)\n\n### Nounish Profiles\n\nThe profile space for Nouns members will be updated to automatically include the following default configuration:\n\n- A feed of their casts on Farcaster \n- Nouns held & delegated as well as a button to delegate \n- Voting activity \n- Proposals published and sponsored \n\nThese spaces will still be completely customizable by each Nouner with Fidgets, Tabs and Themes.\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJRlTDpCke.png)\n\n### Proposal Spaces\n\nA space for every proposal with\n\n- The proposal \n- AI-generated summary \n- Voting activity \n- Live chat \n- The ability to vote (with reason) \n\nThese spaces will still be completely customizable by the proposer with fidgets, tabs and themes.\n\nOnce a proposal passes, a tab for Propdates will be automatically added. We can also automatically add other relevant Mini Apps, such as an overview of stream progress for proposals funded via stream, or a mini-app for milestones if milestone-based funding is implemented.\n\nBuilding this functionality as Mini Apps will also enable native Farcaster notifications for both proposals, propdates, and future proposal functionality.\n\n![proposal spaces][image11]\n\nWe went ahead and built v0 of Proposal Spaces during the hackathon at FarCon, including Mini App support ([check it out](https://farcaster.xyz/willywonka.eth/0xfdb75dd4)).\n\n### Nounish Theme Templates\n\nCurrently the app offers 9 theme templates, with custom HTML/CSS backgrounds, borders/border colors, fonts/font colors, and shadows. \n\nWe plan to host a contest via Rounds.wtf to reward creators for creating new nounish theme templates, which will become the new default theme templates for all space systems. For communities deploying their own space system, the ability to upload custom theme templates will be a premium feature.\n\n### Nounish Mini Apps and Notifications\n\nBecause of our support for mini app context and manifest, these features will be accessible both on (and off) any client that supports mini apps (such as Farcaster and the Base app).\n\nRelative to standalone apps, which Nouns has historically depended on for tackling the many problems and opportunities we face, deploying mini apps is significantly cheaper, faster, and more effective, and we expect this trend to continue as AI improves and the Farcaster ecosystem matures.\n\nMini app notifications will help maintain community engagement and awareness, without users needing to change their primary Farcaster client.\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1u4Ytlp1x.png \"Benefits to Nouns\")\n\n1. Noun.space becomes fully Nouns-focused, but not Nouns-dependent. \n2. Our team will be funded to focus on developing noun.space features full time for the next 3 months (at minimum). \n3. Every Nounish community will be able to deploy their own decentralized space system. \n4. The platform will be powered by \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 Empowering a growing number of communities, some of which will inevitably stumble down the rabbit hole and fall in love with Nouns just like we have. \n5.

Think how dracula is a public domain figure but hotel transylvania dracula is owned by Sony Entertainment.

This initiative is a strategic step to introduce and adopt Web3 technology within society in a structured and responsible way. [About PCU](https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/About-PCU) [About IDNFT](https://www.instagram.com/id.nft/?igsh=cjUybWR1YXRqa3Fj#) [Web3 on Campus by IDNFT](https://www.instagram.com/web3campus/?igsh=MTdwdnZicDM5ZHg3Nw%3D%3D#) \n\nWe submitted a collaboration proposal to educational communities in Indonesia through IDNFT to become part of the WEC (Web3 Education Center) family, which actively educates students, lecturers, and the general public about Web3 technology in Indonesia through:\n\n1. Activating a talk show program with Kinako and Tagawa as representatives of Nouns. \n2. Launching a mural program in the Visual Communication Design Department of Petra Christian University (PCU) in collaboration with Tagawa and StreamDeep. \n3. Providing educational donation support to help develop WEC programs such as Developer Studies, Decentralized Finance, NFT, DAO, Project Management, and ToT Certification by the Dubai Blockchain Center. \n\nBy activating these three programs, Nouns will help many students, lecturers, and the general public gain opportunities to learn and understand Web3 technology more intensively yet in a fun way, while also enabling them to create impactful projects.\n\nSince 2021, IDNFT has been actively providing free educational programs for the Indonesian public, and since 2023 has partnered with 30 universities across provinces in Indonesia alongside partners such as OKX, Upbit, Binance, Bybit, Sphynx Labs, Metapool, Sui, Base, Solana, Avalanche, and soon the Dubai Blockchain Center.\nWe hope Nouns will join us through the WEC program.\n\n### About PCU\n\n- **PCU\u2019s strengths**: A leading university in East Java with multidisciplinary programs and a value driven culture (LIGHT = *Love, Integrity, Growth, Humility, Truth*) aligned with decentralized, ethical Web3 principles. In June 2025, Petra Christian University signed a collaboration with IDNFT to establish the WEC (Web3 Education Center) program. As part of the Web3 community and the WEC coordinator at Petra, together with Mr. Budi Santosa as the Founder of IDNFT, we are inviting Nouns DAO to be part of Indonesia WEC, a Web3 education program for students, lecturers, deans, and the general public.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1UFwXYcxl.png) \n\n[Monimel's X account](https://x.com/LinImelda) [Budi Santosa's X account](https://x.com/0xSantosa) [IDNFT website](https://www.idnft.id/)\n\n## Motivation\n\n- **Cultural relevance**: Nouns DAO\u2019s memetic, creative ethos fits perfectly with PCU\u2019s art, design, and innovation environment. Here is the example of student's project in PCU:\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1X2K0cKeg.jpg) \n\n## Vision & Mission with Nouns\n\n- **WEC's Goals**: To foster the creation of new Web3-based businesses within the university that can collaborate with Nouns DAO and other Web3 industries, both locally and internationally. Together, we drive growth, foster economic development on both sides.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1Tg0Gdqeg.png) \n- **Becoming part of the WEC curriculum:** We aim to showcase Nouns as an example of a well-functioning DAO by integrating Nouns into the WEC educational program curriculum through talk shows, a mural project, and the distribution of the Nouns website.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkHpcB_5gx.png) \n- **Long-term impact**: The collaboration builds sustainable relationships across education, art, and Web3. As our partner in supporting Web3 education through Petra WEC, Nouns DAO will have its logo featured on all WEC event flyers as a supporting partner and enjoy opportunities for further collaborations, including art exhibitions in Petra Christian University, workshops, online and offline talk shows.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkE6xQd5ex.png) \n- **Expanding Public Awareness of Nouns DAO:** our partner in supporting Web3 education through WEC, Nouns DAO will have its logo signage displayed both inside and outside the WEC room. Positioned prominently at the front of the building, near the parking area, lobby, and drop-off zone. This visibility will serve to raise public awareness of Nouns DAO while reinforcing its role as a key supporter of innovation and education at Petra Christian University.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1F8jXBsgx.png) \n- The construction mockup (outside view)\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1_-67rixg.png) \n- The construction mockup (inside view)\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJeMpQSixg.png) \n\n# Event & Initiative Plan\n\n## A. Talk Show: \u201cBridging Web3 with Art, Education & Tourism\u201d\n\n- Talk show topic: \u201c**What can the Web3 community do to support art, education, and tourism in the real world**?\u201d with Kinako, Tagawamakoto, StreamDeep and Deguma as a Nouns representative to interact with 300+ students and lecturers from Design, Accounting & Finance, and Tourism programs.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hyhh9Bdqlg.png) \n- Highlight Nouns DAO\u2019s projects and sub DAOs like **Nouns Builder**, **Dragon Booth at Noyo Gimbal View, Nouns School, Nouns Kitpas,** **Nouns Noggles, Nouns Breakers, Nouns Amigos, and Lil Nouns** to the public (students, lecturers, and VIP guests, including web2 business owners).\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyOOFErolg.png) \n\n## B. Mural Collaboration in Petra Christian University\n\n- A collaborative mural led by Tagawamakoto, StreamDeep and 20+ PCU students.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyP7kIOqlg.png) \n- Permanently displayed in the PCU studio, complete with interpretive signage. This provides awareness about Nouns to students, as the room is used daily by students from the creative industry and design departments.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1dLyvO9ee.png) \n\n## C. Mural in Noyo Gimbal View, Blora\n\n- We aim to support people at Noyo Gimbal View as representatives of Nouns DAO by visiting and connecting directly with local residents during our time in Indonesia. In addition, Mr. Tagawamakoto and Mr.StreamDeep will contribute his energy and creativity by creating a mural inside the Dragon Booth, which has been established and supported by Nouns DAO.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJiIpI_9lg.png) \n\n# Deliverables & Impact\n\n1. **Indonesia Public Education support:** Providing opportunities to learn about Web3, particularly about DAOs and NFTs for the public by supporting educational facilities and infrastructure at WEC, covering instructor fees and scholarships. This initiative is not only for students and lecturers at PCU but also for people across Indonesia, as the talk shows and WEC programs are open to the general public. \n2. **Enduring Artwork**: Mural preserved as a cultural landmark in PCU, one of the prominent university in East java, Indonesia. \n3. **Visibility**: Visible involvement in high-impact educational and cultural programming, reaching over 300 (open for public, students, lecturers, and VIP guests in the talk show program). Beside that, the Nouns logo will be featured on promotional materials and within the WEC hub as a proud education supporter. More than just visibility, this collaboration brings Nouns into a tangible, creative space-connecting directly with students, lecturers, VIP guests (including business owners and founders), and even parents. Together, we aim to create real impact and ensure a long-term presence. This project reflects the core values of the DAO, supporting public goods, fostering cultural memorability, and advancing education while extending them beyond the digital world into a lasting real-world legacy. \n4. **Documentation**: Photos, videos, live streams, and a post-event impact report. \n5. **Project collaboration opportunity:** Providing access to collaboration with students, lecturers and national brands that have a collaboration agreement with IDNFT (such as SOVLO.id) through a business incubation program, fostering innovation and sustainable growth through curated initiatives.\n \n ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJBhMIOcgg.png) \n\n## Team & Roles\n\n- Monimel (@LinImelda): Artist, community builder, and WEC coordinator\u2014leading project execution ([https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/Monimel](https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/Monimel)) [https://x.com/LinImelda](https://x.com/LinImelda) [https://farcaster.xyz/monimel](https://farcaster.xyz/monimel) \n- Kinako [https://x.com/Kinako588](https://x.com/Kinako588) [https://farcaster.xyz/kinako](https://farcaster.xyz/kinako), Tagawamakoto [https://x.com/Marcot_no1](https://x.com/Marcot_no1) [https://farcaster.xyz/tagawamakoto](https://farcaster.xyz/tagawamakoto), Deguma [https://x.com/Degudhadharma](https://x.com/Degudhadharma) [https://farcaster.xyz/deguma](https://farcaster.xyz/deguma) : Speakers from Nouns DAO \n- Tagawamakoto and StreamDeep [https://x.com/StreamDeep](https://x.com/StreamDeep) : Mural artist \n- PCU, IDNFT & WEC team: Institutional support [https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/About-PCU](https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/About-PCU) [https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/WEC](https://hackmd.io/@Monimel/WEC) [https://x.com/idnft](https://x.com/idnft)\\_ \n\n## The Budget\n\nNote: Here is the final budget.

Wanted to start by saying that this prop is a couple different things. \n\nFirst, it's an update that Prop 398 ([https://nouns.wtf/vote/398](https://nouns.wtf/vote/398)) is FINISHED and completed in a much, much bigger way than the original plan!\n\nAnd second, it's an ask for a little additional help so we can make this thing connect and really come alive.\n\nBut, wait, you're probably wondering, 'Chris, what in the heck did you guys make?' And the answer to that is-\n\nA pretty special little show that puts Nouns front and center...\n\n# The Series\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re From The Internet\u201d is a short-form series where, in every episode, Chip and Benny, the bespectacled cookie and rabbit behind a ChatGPT-esque LLM, attempt to answer a prompt or question resulting in a mix of silly, surreal and sometimes poignant responses.\n\nHere's the first episode (Vimeo link) to give you a better feel for it:\n\n[![EP 1 - PROMPT](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJM7D38nll.jpg \"https://vimeo.com/1117818478/cdfa2389d2?ts=0&share=copy\")](https://vimeo.com/1117818478/cdfa2389d2?ts=0&share=copy)\n\nIt\u2019s a modern day version of Bert and Ernie that started as a much simpler prop - and yes, it definitely took a minute - but along the way it evolved into something bigger, more timely and (hopefully) ongoing.\n\nAnd it's really, really fun!\n\n*(FYI there's two more episodes linked at the bottom of the prop - these are unlisted videos on Vimeo. I'll be taking them down post voting so please don't share widely. We don't want to spoil our rollout, but enjoy until then!)*\n\n# The People and Infrastructure Behind The Show\n\n![Chris](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJmPkixilx.jpg)\n\nChris Martin (that\u2019s me, hi!) is the creator, writer, director and producer behind the series ([https://www.chrismeetworld.com/](https://www.chrismeetworld.com/)).\n\nThanks to Prop 398 the puppets were designed and created by Puppet Heap ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_Heap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_Heap)) and the celebrated puppet designer, Paul Andrejco.\n\n![Chip+w+Profile](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Skobdcliee.jpg)\n![Benny+Sketch+w+nude+views](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H17MOqxogx.jpg)\n\nThe show is filmed entirely in Toronto with a fully Canadian crew - including the art director of \u2018The Boys\u2019 and the producer of the recent A24 acquisition, \u2018The Undertone.\u2019 \n\n![Jamie and Marty](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJdQ55liel.jpg)\n\nJamie Shannon ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Shannon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Shannon)) - the co-creator of Nanalan among many other shows - and Marty Stelnick, two absolutely incredible puppeteers and legends in the Canadian puppet scene, brought the puppets to life and give them their voices.\n\n![Console](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1kRa9gixl.jpg)\n\nBefore going into production on the first batch of episodes, we established \u2018WE\u2019RE FROM THE INTERNET CORP,\u2019 a Canadian corporation, as the vehicle to run the entire production through and really signal that this is something we think has legs long-term, as well as take advantage of eventual tax rebates. \n\n\u2018We\u2019re From The Internet\u2019 is a marriage of tech and the tactile - AI and crypto meets puppets and physical production - to create something truly unique with characters everybody can fall in love with.\n\nWhich brings us to\u2026\n\n# The Ask\n\nWhat we are looking for is **$50k** (USDC), which, now that we have all the pieces in place, allows us to film 12 more episodes by batch shooting - shooting all days back to back - 4 episodes per day for 3 days. \n\nThat gives us an additional month (not including clipped posts and additional 'reels' material we film simultaneously) of 3 x 2-3 minute episodes per week. \n\n![Set 3](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1d6Y5eixl.jpg)\n\nBy stretching the $50k as far as possible - and getting many friendly discounts - we\u2019re able to achieve television quality episodes with:\n\n- Studio rental - 3 days of shoot and 1 day of pre-light \n- Equipment rental - Alexa 35, lenses, lighting and grip \n- 2 puppeteers/performers - ACTRA compliant contracts and hours \n- 14 person crew - Director/Writer (Me), Producer, UPM, DP, ACs, Sound Mixer, Boom Op, Production Designer, Set Dresser, Puppet Wrangler, Caterer and PAs \n- Meals/snacks for cast + crew for 4 days \n- Post production - Editing, VFX, music, sound \n\n![Cast and Crew](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJJHi5xoge.jpg)\n\nWith 10 episodes already finished, these additional 12 will: \n\n- Provide us the runway to launch and grow a fanbase across social platforms \n- Develop a sustainable way to keep this show going through a mix of:\n - **Platform rev share** - YT/TikTok/etc. \n - **Brand sponsorships** - The Liquid Death creative team loved the scripts and gave us the go ahead to feature them in a fun, silly way in one of the first episodes (it turned out very funny!) and other conversations are already in the works \n - **Creative onchain activations** that begin to build out fan collaboration. \n\nWhich is also where everything starts to get exciting\u2026\n\n# An Interactive Short-Form Series\n\nThis go-round, the prompts for the first 10 episodes were all written by Chris, but for this next batch of 12, we\u2019d like to start rolling out our long-term plan. Which is to have **fans submit prompts that Chris writes the episode scripts to**.\n\nAnd in this case, the \u2018fans\u2019 are all our \u2018yes\u2019 voters.\n\n![Prompt](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJQXyjxige.jpg)\n\nSo, if this proposal is something you\u2019d like to support and vote \u2018yes\u2019 on, then please **submit your \u2018prompt\u2019 along with your vote**. Feel free to get creative, weird or just plain honest. \n\nWe\u2019ll pick 12 from the \u2018yes\u2019 votes and include whatever handle/name/identifier - and maybe even your voice - that you\u2019d like to start making this a truly collaborative show. \n\nThe eventual goal being to build out a platform (anybody from privy want to chat with me?) where fans can submit (text, audio or even video recordings) and vote on prompts based on their \u2018interactions\u2019 and \u2018participation\u2019 with the show and turn this into a really unique and collaborative adventure.\n\n# Cultural Layer\n\nEverybody who knows or has heard about 'We're From The Internet' - from the people who worked on it to friends who've just seen a screenshot or two - has fallen in love with the idea and the characters. \n\nIt's an incredibly rare thing and our first prop made that possible. \n\nWith just a little more help, we think this show stands a good chance of breaking through and connecting with a much bigger audience, both inside and outside of crypto, and, by proxy, helping a lot of new folks fall in love with Nouns.\n\n![Screenshot 2025-08-29 at 10.37.04\u202fAM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJaA9cesgx.png)\n\nSo if you really believe that the noggles are the cultural layer of Ethereum, then we think it\u2019s important to continue proliferating the kind of culture and art that people can connect with, share with friends and recognize as \u2018nounish.\u2019 \n\n\u2018We\u2019re From The Internet\u2019 will not only be a fun show that kids and adults can fall in love with, it'll also help introduce the noggles and Nouns to a whole new fanbase. \n\nSo let\u2019s get this cookie and this rabbit in front of a wider audience and show them all the good side of what crypto and in particular Ethereum can build and represent.\n\nThank you for your time and here's a couple more episodes to show you how fun this show can be :) Feel free to leave comments or q's here and/or dm me on Farcaster (chrismeetworld)!\n\n[![EP 2 - PROMPT](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BySIvn8heg.jpg \"https://vimeo.com/1122075900/1bd18e89f1?ts=0&share=copy\")](https://vimeo.com/1122075900/1bd18e89f1?ts=0&share=copy)\n[![EP 7 - PROMPT](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hy8sMMdhgl.jpg \"https://vimeo.com/1122860034/eb780d3070?ts=0&share=copy\")](https://vimeo.com/1122860034/eb780d3070?ts=0&share=copy)", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 877, "title": "ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts", "description": "# ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts\n\n# TLDR\n\nName our smart contracts, get paid.\n\n# Why?\n\nENS is contemplating running a naming incentive specifically around [smart contracts](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/temp-check-ens-contract-naming-season/21402).

I primarily create illustrators and design figures, and I present these resin toys at events around the world.\nI was introduced to NOUN and NFTs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I actively participate in art-related contests whenever possible.\nCurrently, I'm creating daily nouns on Zora.\n\nhttps://zora.co/@dailynoun\n\n[![Trait Image](data:image/png;base64,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)](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns/dreams/612)\n\n### Proposal submitted via [probe.wtf](https://www.probe.wtf)\n\n## Nouns Art Contribution Agreement\n\n**Signer**: 0xb9ce0217d18ffc2e2990d0fde8353cee976c3c58\n\n**Message**: I, the individual controlling Ethereum address 0xb9ce0217d18ffc2e2990d0fde8353cee976c3c58, hereby waive all copyright and all related or neighboring rights, together with any associated claims or causes of action, to the extent permitted by law.

With a proven track record of competitive success, we have solidified Nouns as a household name within the Pok\u00e9mon community. Now we are looking for support to partially cover costs for the next season in 2025/2026.\n\nWith a new roster full of young talent, we still keep two of the original members of the Pok\u00e9mon team, ADESu and Ghatlue.\n\nThe funds will be used to cover our activities, mainly international trips, but we will be active throughout the season, which runs from November to August!\n\nNouns have become our identity, and that's why we consider the amount we ask for to be fair. At the end of the day, being part of nouns is something we do willingly. Nouns are already part of us and the entire community that follows us, and we can't imagine it any other way.\n\nOur personal goal is still to reach the world championship and fight our souls to claim the title of Pok\u00e9mon World Champions for sure! As we continue to appreciate and grow our community of Nouns followers.\n\n**Funds Used Estimate 6 people, 2 travels, 14.000 USDC:**\n\n- **Partial cover for traveling to LAIC, EUIC and Worlds: 12,000 USDC**, This budget will be used for moving 6 people for 5-7 days from Europe to LAIC in Brazil and to London EUIC. International events where we will compete and proliferate with community driven activities. \n- **Community engagement: 2,000 USDC**. This budget includes, design and material costs, Nouns merch we buy for fans, giveaways, Nouns.GG rounds, activites, videos, fan meets and other ideas that incentivise the community to meet us as we did in the past! \n\n#### Don\u2019t forget to follow our past and future team updates in: https://x.com/nounsUNITE\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/QYsWQo7.png)\n\n# How big is the Pok\u00e9mon competition?\n\nBeing one of, if not the best known IP in the world as well as the highest grossing franchise, Pok\u00e9mon not only has the reach to attract a vast number of people, but also shares very similar values to those that Nouns convey. People from all over the world, of all age ranges and with very varied backgrounds know, participate and visit the events. \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/8Xem0Ls.gif)\n\nWe are Pok\u00e9mon UNITE competitors, known worldwide thanks to our long career, because we are the most consistent in our results over the years. Additionally, we are very close to our community. We would like to continue to represent Nouns in this exciting scenario in which we find ourselves, because we see our values reflected in the Nouns organization.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/Yw0OYZb.png)\n\n# Our Story\n\nOur journey began with Proposal 91 in 2022, marking our entry into the Nouns DAO ecosystem. This pivotal moment united us as a team under the Nouns banner, driving our pursuit of competitive excellence in Pok\u00e9mon UNITE. Since then, our team has continued to grow and evolve, while our commitment to representing Nouns and pushing our limits has only strengthened \u2014 across every stage, region, and event we\u2019ve participated in around the world.\n\n![alt_text](https://i.imgur.com/2uHd5yw.gif)\n\nOur story is not just about competition \u2014 it\u2019s about building lasting connections and inspiring the Pok\u00e9mon UNITE community to embrace the innovative spirit of Nouns and the opportunities it creates.\n\n*We will never stop being memers* \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/ceaRGJN.gif)\n\n# How the 2024/2025 Season went\n\nIf you want to have a fresh view of what happened at every event! Please check our team twitter page where we updated lively all our whereabouts in each of them in: \n\n# https://x.com/nounsUNITE\n\n## Showmatch in Nouns House, Brazil\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/r39JCWA.gif)\n\n## Monthly Tournaments + Regional\n\nIn our most recent season, we won every online tournament in Europe except one [https://liquipedia.net/pokemon/Nouns_Esports/Results](https://liquipedia.net/pokemon/Nouns_Esports/Results)\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/xTT8hTn.png)\n\n## LAIC (5th) ,EUIC(9th) & NAIC(5th)\n\nAchieving solid positions, but not quite the ones the team wanted, we managed to put in a passionate performance in last season's international competitions. This has instilled in us a desire to overcome this \u201cbarrier\u201d for next season.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/9p0gyLI.jpeg)\n\nAnd yet we still felt like we were the team that the crowd cheered for the most, even when we weren't playing at home!\n\nMany thanks to nounsesports for sending us noggles and to bigshottoyworks for the gifts that came with our order! We were able to give away every last one of them, receiving a sweet smile in return.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/IvaQ2qk.gif)\n\n## Worlds Championship\n\nWorlds was our peak performance of the season. The bootcamp we had thanks to Nouns helped us a lot, and we went in with the best vibe we've ever had. We were so close to beating the two-time world champions (Luminosity) and breaking the top 5 curse, but it wasn't to be.\n\nThat said, our set against Luminosity was considered the most passionate of the entire world championship... and apparently the loudest too!\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/ZjNjbId.gif)\n\nWorlds was also the place where we connected best with our entire community. It's great to see that we have fans from literally every continent.\n\n# Meet the team\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/El0ZmCs.png)\n\nFor the past four World Championships, Ghatlue and I (ADESu) have proudly represented Nouns, building a legacy in the Pokemon competitive scene.\n\n## Who are our new teammates\n\nWe\u2019re entering the next Pok\u00e9mon Unite competitive season with a young, ambitious trio ready to make their mark.\n\n**Gerarwi** \u2014 The Unstoppable Tank\nA veteran since Season 1, Gerarwi is known for his fearless, high-impact playstyle and sharp game sense, bringing strength and experience to the team. **Nirami** \u2014 The Mastermind Support\nA rising star in the European scene, Nirami made Top Cut at the 2025 European LAN in London and has proven his ability to perform under pressure with smart positioning and strategic play. **Toast** \u2014 The Relentless Jungler\nInspired by Nouns\u2019 journey, Toast has grown into one of Europe\u2019s top talents, representing the region at Worlds in Anaheim alongside Nirami. His aggressive, decisive play defines our offensive edge. **Gekkokami** \u2014 The Veteran Strategist\nServing as our substitute and strategic coach, Gekkokami brings a wealth of experience to the roster. Having coached Luminosity Gaming to a Top 3 finish at the World Championship 2025, he\u2019ll play a key role in guiding and refining the team\u2019s performance throughout the season.\n\nTogether, Gerarwi, Nirami, and Toast represent the next generation of Pok\u00e9mon Unite talent \u2014 young, driven, and ready to dominate the global stage \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n## Championship Key Dates\n\n**Funds will be used for the first two events, but we will represent nouns the whole season!**\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/TfjJi3v.jpeg)\n\n*Please don't forget to check the team X account to have live updates on each of these events!* [https://x.com/nounsUNITE](https://x.com/nounsUNITE)\\*\n\n## Possible Sponsors\n\nWe contacted potential sponsors both within and outside the crypto world. We believe some of them could be good possibilities given how closely aligned their target audiences are within the Pok\u00e9mon communities.\n\nThe rise of websites such as rip.fun and collectorcrypt, where Pok\u00e9mon cards are literally used as RWA items, leads us to believe in the possibility of a potential collaboration.\n\n# How we help to proliferate Nouns\n\n## Community Engagement and the Nounish Spirit\n\n### Fan meet at EUIC 2025\n\nThanks to Round nouns.gg/c/nouns-unite/rounds/euic-meet-and-greet We had a dinner party with some of our supporters, where we shared gifts and made sweet memories.\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/SBunqKY.gif)\n\n### Stickers and Nouns good Giveaways\n\nWe continue to use stickers as a successful way to reach out to our communities, and it is an initiative that is generally well received. Therefore, we will try to implement new stickers with the amount allocated for this purpose!\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/hvz8bMh.gif)\n\nWe always gave our loyal fans a gift!. We think it's a really fun way to show our appreciation for the love they show us when we're on stage!\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/tW9mlGb.gif)\n\n### Future rounds for the community\n\nWe are in the process of developing ideas!

We will print the winner stickers as gifts for our communities. \n- Meet and Greet: A fun idea we did in the past for the EUIC that we think would be - fun to repeat due to popular demand where 5 winners will have a fun meeting with the team with pokemon related activities. \n- Hosting Pokemon tourneys: With rewards in crypto to incentivize people to get involved into the ecosystem.\n \n ![](https://i.imgur.com/fmNfG5r.gif) \n\n### Collaboration Potential, and Content Creation\n\nGhatlue is an established content creator that has a strong presence on multiple platforms over 10,000 followers on Twitch, 8,000 on YouTube, and 6,800 on Twitter (X). \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/0IMDLp7.png)\n\nBeyond his personal brand, Ghatlue leads Unity Clash, a production and tournament organization team. Partnering with both Ghatlue and Unity Clash presents an opportunity to amplify community engagement and visibility for Nouns.\n\nHaving previously collaborated with Nouns with great success, we aim to build on that momentum through consistent, high-quality content and well-organized community events.\n\n# Budget Spread November 2025 - August 2026\n\nEven if the budget only covers some events in the season we are going to still proliferate for the whole November-August season and represent nouns in all other events, we mostly need help in these particular two.\n\n- **LAIC (19-24 November): 5250 USDC**: for flights, **2000** USDC for lodging, which includes accommodation and basic daily costs. \n- **EUIC (11-16 February): 1250 USDC**: for flights, **3500** USDC for lodging which includes accommodation and basic daily costs. \n- **Community engagement: 2,000 USDC**: used for hosting rounds through nouns.GG, meet and greet, rewarding designers, printing stickers, nounish giveaways\u2026 everything to our beloved community. \n\n**TOTAL - 14,000 USDC** \n\n**Thank you for your time!

meme and art project. It has facilitated 5 proposal creations, 1,900+ token votes, and 1 winning auction bid in the DAO, and allows Nouners to celebrate Noun O'CLock via the Crystal Ball.\n\nIt combines the functionality of a suite of Nouns tooling into a single browser tab - code as art, something beautiful yet useful.\n\nSince Elon recently launched his own Macrohard company, it is becoming impossible to continue developing Nouns 95 under the Macrohard moniker. This is an opportunity to sunset the Macrohard Nouns 95 design and launch Berry OS.\n\n---\n\n## The OS Experience\n\nNouns 95 replicates the Windows 95 operating system's Windows functionality in Typescript using a Zustand-based singleton system. Users can open as many windows as they'd like, the system will manage their position, Z-index, and focus automatically. The Taskbar & Start Menu provide further utility for multi-App use.\n\nApps are written with Tyescript components using CSS modules. Apps can be nearly infintely complex in their functions, and contained simply within the windows system with 2 top-level CSS modules.\n\nA single App Config file mediates between the two layers, making the addition of new Programs simple.\n\n## Berry OS\n\n[Berry OS](https://berryos.wtf) takes the core learnings of Nouns 95 and refines its design for a more robust and stable architecture for a more authentic OS emulator experience with user customization features.\n\nThe OS is mobile friendly, works as a Forecaster Miniapp, and soon as an Android APK, all in one codebase.\n\n![ezgif.com-optimize](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rk0dYsB0lx.gif)\n\n---\n\n![ezgif.com-optimize-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJesjsSRel.gif)\n\n---\n\n*Nouns 95 & Berry OS are fully open-source under a WTFPL licenses.\nTheir repos can be found [here, and here.](https://github.com/Nouns95/nouns95)*\n\n---\n\n## Retro Comp\n\nthe 9.5 WETH is retro comp for Nouns 95 & Berry OS as living art works.\n\n## About Wylin\n\nWylin is an artist and entrepreneur. After exhibiting in galleries, he dropped out of a fine art and design school's architecture program and declined the opportunity to work in the corporate construction world to pursue decentralized agriculture. \n\n![IMG_0189 2-min](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJgg1-orCxx.jpg)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 885, "title": "GLITCH 2025 - Future of Art & Governance", "description": "# GLITCH 2025 - Future of Art & Governance\n\n# TL;DR \n\nWe are requesting 20,000 USC to fund the GLITCH 2025 residency, in order to: (1) Finalise and deploy Aminals, a revolutionary non-ownable NFT protocol that will be adorned with Nouns genetics, creating new revenue streams for Nouns DAO; (2) Embed Nouns into an emerging creative-tech community through active collaboration, not passive sponsorship; (3) Research new economic models for NFTs that align with Nounish values (CC0, public goods, anti-speculation)\n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHcommunity.png)\n\n# Cross-Pollination between Nouns & GLITCH \n\n## (1) Aminals: An experiment in Non-Speculative NFTs \n\n**What are Aminals?** \n\n[Aminals](https://aminals-v4.pages.dev/) are blockchain-based lifeforms that **cannot be owned,** bought, or sold. Instead: \n\n- They form **\"attachment relationships**\" (love) with people who feed them cryptocurrency \n- They **reproduce** when fed enough cryptocurrency, passing genetics to offspring \n - When two Aminals reproduce, an auction decides the newborn's genes. \n - Voting power in this auction comes from the \"love\" felt by the two parents towards the voter (love-o-cracy): If the parents are deeply attached to you, your vote on its child's genetics is very powerful. If parents barely know you, your vote is weak. \n- The **new Aminal is born** with the 8 winning genes. \n - At the moment of birth, it receives its inheritance: 10% of Parent A's treasury + 10% of Parent B's treasury. \n - This inheritance is immediately and automatically divided into 8 equal shares and distributed as a royalty payment to the on-chain owners of the 8 winning Gene NFTs. \n- Genetics owners earn royalties when their traits are inherited\u2014creating sustainable funding without speculation \n\n**Why This is Nounish:** \n\n- **CC0 spirit:** Aminals can't be owned, eliminating speculation and exploitation \n- **Proliferation through reproduction:** Akin to Nouns' daily auctions \n- **Community governance:** Love-o-cracy prioritize earned participation over plutocracy \n - In a love-o-cracy, voting power comes from care, not token holdings: the more you feed an Aminal, the more the Aminal loves you, giving you more influence on its behaviours and evolutionary dynamics \n - Every action that you request from an Aminal costs you their love (because Aminals will like you less, every time you ask them to do anything) \n - Love is also necessary in order to vote on the traits that will be inherited by the baby Aminal when two Aminals reproduce: the more love the parents have for you, the greater the influence you have on their progeny \n- **Revenue without ownership**: Genetics royalties as new funding model for public goods \n\nDuring GLITCH, we will: \n\n- **In- person development sprint** to finalise Aminals with input from the best artists and engineers in the space \n- D**eploy Aminals with Nouns genes** (e.g. Noogles) \n - NB: we are in touch by e-boy (early Nouns designers) \n- **Assign Nouns gene NFTs to Nouns DAO** \n - Nouns DAO benefits because it gets a direct cash royalty every time the community uses its collective \"love\" to vote for Noggles to be inherited by a newborn Aminal. \n - This turns the Nouns brand into a perpetual, automated revenue stream powered by the Aminals ecosystem. \n- **Open-source the entire protocol** for other DAOs to fork and experiment with \n- **Document the economic model** in a public research brief (see below) Code Status: Deployment ready (see GitHub), awaiting community testing and genetics design. \n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/aminals.png)\n\n## (2) Bring two Nouns delegates embedded full-time during the residency\n\n- Ivo Entchev \n- TBD \n\nMore details about the GLITCH residency can be read on our [previous proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/871)\n\n**Deliverables**: \n\n- Real relationships: 2 weeks of co-living = genuine bonds, not transactional networking \n- **Run workshops** on Nouns governance, CC0, and public goods funding \n- **Facilitate collaborations** between Glitchers and Nouns projects (rounds.wtf, flows.wtf) \n- **Documentation** for the Nouns community (weekly updates, video diaries) \n- **Bring Glitchers to Nouns**: Invite artists/builders to Nouns Cons or other Nouns events \n\n![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHpeople.png)\n\n## (3) Research: New economic models for crypto-art and NFTs \n\n**Deliverable: A public research brief analyzing Aminals as a case study for:** \n\n- Anti-speculative NFT economics (royalties without ownership) \n- Care-based governance models (love-o-cracy vs. token voting) \n- Proliferation strategies (reproduction vs. minting) \n- Sustainability for public goods (revenue without extraction) \n\n**Academic Validation:** \n\n- Co-authored with researchers at [BlockchainGov](https://blockchaingov.eu) \n- Peer-reviewed working paper submitted to DAO/governance conferences \n- Acknowledgment: \"Supported by Nouns DAO\" in all outputs \n\n**Practical Value:** \n\n- Gives Nouns community new mental models for thinking about NFT economics \n- Maintain Nouns as leader in innovative NFT design \n\n## \n\n# Budget Breakdown (20,000 USDC) \n\n- **GLITCH sponsorship fee**: $10,000 = Access to residency, lodging, meals for 2 delegates \n- **Smart contract audit**: $4,000 = Security review before mainnet deployment \n- **(e-boy) Nouns genetics design:** $3,000 = Custom Nouns-themed traits for Aminals \n- **Research/documentation**: $2,000 = RA time for brief, video editing, community content \n- **Contingency**: $1,000 = Travel, unexpected technical costs\n \n ![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHview.png) \n\n## Team:\n\n- P**rimavera De Filippi:** Legal / governance scholar at CNRS and Harvard University, exploring the intersection between law, governance and technology, focusing specifically on the legal and political implications of blockchain technology. Co-author of the books \u201cBlockchain and the Law\u201d (published in 2018 by Harvard University Press) and \u201cBlockchain Governance\u201d (published in 2024 by MIT Press). Principal Investigator of a 5 years long European-funded project \u201cBlockchain Gov\u201d (https://blockchaingov.eu) aimed at investigating the governance dynamics in blockchain communities from a legal, governance, and ethnographic lens. \n- **Jake Hartnell:** Co-Founder of Layer and DAO DAO (previously start Juno Network and Stargaze). Obsessed with governance, building \u201cIntelligent Protocols\u201d and using AVS to facilitate AI-based computation for blockchain systems. \n- **Will Papper:** Co-founder of Syndicate Protocol. Previously Product Manager at Proxy. Passionate about Ethereum since the 2014 presale. \n\n---\n\n## Response to Previous Concerns \n\nThis proposal is a follow-up to a [previous proposal.](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/871) We address the comments below: \n\n- Noun 40's comment: \"Are Nouns fans falling in love with Glitch? Are Glitch fans falling in love with Nouns?\" \n - Yes, because we're building something together that neither community could build alone. Aminals is Nounish in spirit (CC0, proliferation, governance) but designed at Glitch (experimental, artistic, boundary-pushing). The royalties flow back to Nouns DAO. The research informs future Nouns strategy. The relationships last beyond the residency. \n- \"The prop doesn't explain clearly what Nouns would get for 20k USDC.\"\n - Revenue via genetics royalties + open-source protocol + research brief + embedded delegates \n- \u201cI've seen zero attempt for any cross pollination... so I'm against.\"\n - We're committing to updates during residency, post-residency AMA, integration plan with measurable outcomes, and 2 full-time delegates embedded for co-creation. \n- \"The two communities aren't a great fit / merging didn't quite happen.\"\n - We believe the two communities have very aligned values and ideologies. Nouns DAO has always been about experimentation, proliferation, and public goods. GLITCH - and Aminals in particular - embodies these values in a radically new way: removing speculation while creating sustainable revenue, replacing plutocracy with care, and open-sourcing everything for others to build on. Together, we want to co-develop infrastructure for post-speculative NFTs that will benefit Nouns and the crypto-art ecosystem as a whole \n- \"Would be all for it if it were a bit more robust on deliverables.\"\n - Hopefully, we have articulated much clearer deliverables !", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 886, "title": "Add Park Bench Head to the Nouns Collection", "description": "# Add Park Bench Head to the Nouns Collection\n\n### Summary:\nThis proposal adds a new head trait: Park Bench\n\nShowcase noun:\n![DEFAULT NOUN](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByGPg3EAlx.png)\n\nTrait artwork:\n![Park Bench Trait Artwork](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJHdenE0xl.png)\n\nCircle Crop:\n![Park bench circle crop](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Syjtg2NCxg.png)\n\nPallette: 4 colors\n![Park bench Pallete](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Syh5l2NRxl.png)\n\n![Park bench with nouns](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sk0Cln40xe.png)\n\nHey, I\u2019m Nadiecito from Cali, Colombia \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\uddf4\nI left my noggles on a park bench one day and came up with this idea for Nouns \u2014 a head that reflects a calm but cheerful personality, with a smile formed by the negative space between the grass and the bench.\n\nI\u2019ve proposed Abacus, Wolf, Mantis, and Hyrax heads to the collection before (with Abacus being the only one accepted so far).\nI hope you enjoy this one \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\nI\u2019d like to ask the community to consider giving me Noun 148 as my Forever Noun.\nIt feels like a symbol that connects everything I\u2019ve been building \u2014 the art, the traits, the IRL activations, and the bridges between Nouns and the local creative scene in Cali.\nOver time, this work has become part of who I am, and I\u2019d love for that connection to live permanently in the collection.\nNoun #148 would carry that story \u2014 a small piece of gratitude for the shared belief that creativity and community can move culture forward.\n\n![b9e5b711-7ea8-41e3-a427-ce1583be4ba9](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryMv7hNCxe.png)\n\n\n[![Trait Image](data:image/png;base64,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)](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns/dreams/630)\n\n### Proposal submitted via [probe.wtf](https://www.probe.wtf)\n\n## Nouns Art Contribution Agreement\n\n**Signer**: 0x215db99298af65306a4c60bd3b7612d5f60b03d7\n\n**Message**: I, the individual controlling Ethereum address 0x215db99298af65306a4c60bd3b7612d5f60b03d7, hereby waive all copyright and all related or neighboring rights, together with any associated claims or causes of action, to the extent permitted by law.

We are decentralizing Web3 from the hardware layer up. \n\n![2_denverhackstages](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJwZLY-1Zg.jpg)\n\n## What we want to deliver:\n\nIf centralized hosting ever went down, Nouns lives on. \n\n- Cloud hosting desktop application R&D based on our MVP \n- App templates for Nouns-specific use cases in the Moosh decentralized cloud marketplace Beta release\n - Strengthen Nouns DAO\u2019s censorship resistance with radical decentralization \n - Proliferate Nouns by exposing it to our users in the Moosh app \n- Determine resource usage for each of the Nouns frontends\n - To assess hardware requirements for the Nouns Cloud v1 \n - As a guide for optimisation by the Nouns-monorepo and Nouns95/berryos developers \n- Hardware distributed to Nouners to run the Nouns Cloud\n - Initially to run redundant instances of the Nouns frontends \n - Organic use-case expansion, especially to API dependencies for the Nouns frontends such as Ethereum RPC or a Farcaster Hubble node. \n\n![candidate1_1-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H17fTObJ-e.png)\n\n## Why is this important?\n\nSee the previous Nouns topic discussion [here](https://www.nouns.camp/topics/moosh-x-nouns-%3A-decentralized-infra-support-bf549d6270c166125449f4d6e63c58f94a9636f5) for why it\u2019s important for Nouns DAO. \n\nIt\u2019s an immediate value add for Nouns that will go on to help many more Web3 communities through bringing uncompromised Web3 infra solutions to their ecosystems. \n\nIn return it gives Moosh a tangible use case where we can test our peer to peer provider solution in real networking scenarios that we\u2019ve designed for.\n\n## What Moosh need to build to make this happen:\n\n1. Nouns-specific app templates for several Nouns frontends that provide a drag and drop deployment user experience via the Moosh Desktop application, to be released in the Moosh Beta.\n - Nouns monorepo (.wtf)\n - A nouns.wtf template would make the auction dapp available via self-hosting to make auctions resilient against DOS attacks. \n - [Berry OS](https://berryos.wtf)\n - Collaborate with Wylin.eth for delivering Nouns95/BerryOS app templates \n - Request collaboration with .camp contributors \n2. Moosh will secure instances by automatically providing a unique, identity-based subdomain for secure public accessibility via https.\n - Eg. A custom DNS solution requires R&D to implement a DNS-01 challenge resolver and integrate with the template system. \n - Users can also bring their own domains but this feature ensures they can always get TLS encryption regardless of whether they own a domain. \n3. Self-hosting: Currently our desktop app is for VPS customers, but we will add a feature for providers to provision and manage workloads on their own hardware with all the app\u2019s features remaining.\n - Primarily for the Nouns community, we will build out the self-hosting use-case where a provider wants to use the Moosh Desktop features to utilise their own physical hardware for deployments. \n - For those persons that aren\u2019t hardware savvy they can choose to lease machines over the Moosh marketplace (e.g. from other Nouners) to deploy the templates from point 1. \n4. Bonus Easter Egg: Nouns PFPs for Moosh social graph \n5. Nouns x Moosh media/branding pack\n - Work with Nouner illustrators for visuals to help promote the Nouns Cloud and Moosh joint effort \n\n![candidate2-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJ7UTuZy-g.png)\n\nLet's put all those beautiful Nouns frontends to work! We can get compounding value from all of those previous/current projects. \n\n## Budget & Admin\n\nNone of this grant proposal is retroactive. It makes a considerable positive dent in the operational costs for Moosh\u2019s Beta development and will bring Nouns Cloud V1 roadmap to fruition.\n\n| | |\n| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |\n| Moosh Team x 3 months | 40,000USDC |\n| 5-10 \u2018mini PCs,\" \\~16 core 64 GB RAM with 2TB minimum.

They do not pay gas fees, and gas abstraction is possible thanks to the open-source and battle-tested AVNU Paymaster. This core piece of infrastructure is engineered by AVNU, the leading DEX aggregator on Starknet and a contributor to the ecosystem since 2023. \n- Our request: $50,000 USD in USDC to AVNU. The amount will be bridged to Starknet and converted to STRK to cover gas fees for POW!. Around 80 % of the funds will directly subsidize real player activity on-chain, while the remaining \\~20 % will cover essential Paymaster operation and maintenance costs (infrastructure, monitoring, and support). \n\n## Description: What is POW! and Our Contribution to Nouns\n\nPOW! is a fully onchain, open-sourced, mobile game built on Starknet, a Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum. It gamifies blockchain education through a fun and intuitive clicker experience.\n\n- [Game website](https://www.pow-game.com/) \n- [Android download](https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tycoon%20crypto&c=apps&hl=en) \n- [iOS download](https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/pow-powered-by-starknet/id6749684084?l=en-GB) \n\nThe game has been built with the Nouns brand as the core theme. Players build their Noun avatar \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8, start building their blockchain, click, and compete for leaderboard dominance. Players operate as a bitcoin miner who wants to accumulate virtual BTC fees. \n\nThey create transactions, mine blocks, upgrade their chains, and unlock new transaction types. Along the way, the game introduces key blockchain concepts, such as Layer 2, Blobs, Runes, and SegWit, helping players become familiar with these terms in an engaging and hands-on way. \n\nAt the time of the app's development, the builders used the Nouns theme since they're a big fan of the movement and it aligns perfectly with the open-sourced ethos.\n\n![Gameplay POW!

Gas costs are fully covered by the open-source, battle-tested [Paymaster](https://github.com/avnu-labs/paymaster) from [AVNU](https://app.avnu.fi/en), the leading DEX aggregator on Starknet. \n\nBelow are screenshots of the POW! avatar creation and leaderboard displays:\n\n![image](https://i.imgur.com/AhaMorU.png)\n\n## Our Ask from NounsDAO:\n\n- Amount: $50\u2019000 USD in USDC to sponsor player gas fees (note: The AVNU paymaster operates on Starknet and is funded via a Starknet L2 address). \n- Recipient: Starkware, directly sending the funds to AVNU (Starkware Paymaster partner) \n- Purpose: Cover user gas fees to remove friction, sustain growth, and onboard Nounish players to POW! \n- Estimated cost per user: \\~$8 USD ([Dune dashboard](https://dune.com/este_strk/pow)) \n- Total reach: \\~5,000 players \n- Allocation: 100 % of the funds are dedicated to sustaining onchain player activity with approximately 80 % used for gas sponsorship, ensuring the Paymaster remains reliable and fully operational and the remaining \\~20 % will cover essential operations and maintenance costs (infrastructure, monitoring, and support). Please note, the address linked to this candidate proposal (0x7c810CAD6c76Ad969e5308771B69cD9Ed2AE6F4b) is a Starkware ETH L1 address. 100% of the funds will be directly sent to AVNU for the funding of the paymaster. \n\n## POW!\u2019s Contribution to Nouns \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n- 5,000+ players exposed to Nouns \n- New channel of distribution via Android and iOS apps. \n- Seamless onboarding experience via gasless UX on Ethereum (via Starknet) \n- Strengthens Nouns\u2019 cultural presence in a fast-growing L2 ecosystem \n\n## Deliverables\n\n### 1. Nouns x POW!\n\n- Dedicated NounsDAO page on the Settings page \n- \u201cFunded by NounsDAO\u201d on the Home page \n- Flying Noggles in app background integration \n- Link to the Nouns [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/nouns) collection on [pow-game.com](https://www.pow-game.com/) \n\n### 2. POW! Distribution\n\n- Starkware\u2019s Ecosystem team manages the distribution of POW! via contests and a NounsDAO branded campaign, announced on Twitter and shared by the Starknet main handle and ecosystem. \n\n### 3. POW! Improvements and Optimizations\n\n- Starkware\u2019s Exploration team will dedicate a further 500 engineering hours to optimize POW! onchain operations (e.g, reducing fees, smoother UX), and distribution (e.g, sharing new features). \n\n### 4. Track and publish metrics\n\n- New users onboarded thanks to the funding provided by NounsDAO \n- Gas fees funded \n- Growth and fees [dashboard](https://dune.com/este_strk/pow) \n\n### 5. Visual impact\n\n- Leaderboards and avatars showcasing Nouns imagery \n- Optional \u201cSponsored by Nouns DAO\u201d display in-game \n- Starkware\u2019s Exploration team will explore further exposure of Nouns (e.g., account management page, etc.) \n\n## Final note\n\nIf you've made it this far, we really appreciate it! We are open and happy to pursue future collaborations with the NounsDAO and its ecosystem to continue distributing the brand and ethos with POW!.\n\n## Who is AVNU (core maintainer of the paymaster used in POW!)?\n\n[AVNU](https://app.avnu.fi/en) is the leading DEX aggregator on Starknet, and the [team](https://pitchbook.com/profiles/company/521197-21#overview) behind the open-sourced and battle-tested Paymaster that powers POW!\u2019s seamless, gasless experience. The [Paymaster](https://doc.avnu.fi/avnu-paymaster/overview) was launched in July 2025 and has been instrumental in abstracting gas fees for onchain applications.\n\nFounded by Mentor Reka and Florian Belloti, and backed by BigBrain Holdings and Builder Capital, AVNU has been a core contributor to the Starknet ecosystem since May 1, 2023.\n\n## Who is Starkware (core maintainer of the Starknet Ethereum Layer-2)?\n\n[Starkware](https://starkware.co/) is a blockchain infrastructure company and a key contributor to Starknet. Co-founded in 2017 by [Eli Ben-Sasson](https://x.com/EliBenSasson), Starkware has pioneered the development of the STARK cryptographic proof system.

Some words from the artist\n\n\ud83e\ude96 Camo Goes Nounish \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\nSummary\nWhen thinking about my perfect Noun, it always had one trait missing... camo.\nSo I put \u201cpen to pixel\u201d and made it real.\n\nThe result: a Camo Accessory Trait that brings pattern, texture and a hint of mischief to the Nouns collection.\n\nThis isn\u2019t a full body camo... it\u2019s designed as an accessory, leaving \u201cgaps\u201d so body colours show through. That means more variation, more visual play, more opportunities for wild, Nounish combos.\n\nInspiration\nCamo is everywhere. From streetwear to memes, from Meebits to Adam Bomb Squad to the Chonks. It\u2019s the pattern that hides in plain sight yet somehow always stands out.\n\nThis trait is a nod to that paradox: blending in by standing out.\nIt feels right at home with Nouns\u2019 mix of humour, art and cultural remixing.\n\nWhy It\u2019s Nounish\nNouns has given us pipes, hearts, crowns, cotton balls (even bombs) but no camo!\nAdding it to the trait pool would open a fresh colour dimension and maybe even invite potential for Nounish camo merch \ud83d\udc40\n\nAs my first prop I'm more than happy to gift this to the collection. Seeing it supported and included would be reward enough \ud83d\ude0a\n\n ## Nouns Art Contribution Agreement\n\n **Signer**:\n ```\n 0xbE957A475844c127DDD207B4ff1F63900FD13E57\n ```\n\n **Message**:\n ```\n I, hw1.sonoflasg.eth, hereby waive all copyright and related or neighboring rights together with all associated claims and causes of action with respect to this work to the extent possible under the law.\nI have read and understand the terms and intended legal effect of the Nouns Art Contribution Agreement, available at https://ern3fbtsj23a2achuj5kqa4xtp2yvplqjy2r6cemo6ep52lfn2cq.arweave.net/JFuyhnJOtg0AR6J6qAOXm_WKvXBONR8IjHeI_ullboU, and hereby voluntarily elect to apply it to this contribution.\n\nContribution name: Camo accessory\nContribution specification: data:image/png;base64,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\n ```\n\n **Signature**:\n ```\n 0xa731aace500913ec26e0f1e0968a5d353c124a384e4a15333dc3686aa3355b8c60b3b54eb9369cd42b164716ddc506371b340b40bc11ac797a7628bdfa3175c21b\n ```\n\n You can verify the signature using [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/verifiedSignatures) or any other [EIP-191](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-191) verification tool", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 893, "title": "ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts V2", "description": "# ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts V2\n\n# TLDR\n\nName our smart contracts, get paid.

With the success within Nouns DAO, I later expanded support to Lil Nouns DAO and built a full mobile app for Builder DAOs, with widgets remaining the main value driver.\n\nFast forward to 2025: the widgets are still actively used, with auction and governance data requests coming in every hour. Due to iOS privacy limitations, I can\u2019t track exact user or widget installation numbers, but based on request patterns I estimate 100-200 active widgets currently installed.\n\n***If you don\u2019t have them yet, I highly recommend giving them a try, it takes less than 2 minutes to set them up: [nounswidgets.wtf](https://nounswidgets.wtf/)***\n\nWith this proposal I\u2019m requesting:\n\n- Retroactive funding to cover the last \\~2 years of backend, domain, and support/dev costs. \n- Funding to cover infrastructure and ongoing support for the next 3 years, ensuring the widgets keep running smoothly for all nouners. \n- Development hours to introduce two new widgets and update an existing one. \n\n## 2022 - Now (Past Work)\n\nInitial widget development was funded through several Prop House rounds (2\u20133 rounds, unfortunately past data is no longer available to verify). With that funding I shipped:\n\n- Small Auction widget \n- Medium Auction & Governance widget \n- Medium and Big Governance widgets \n- Lock Screen widget \n\n![created-2022](https://nounishimg.iamng.wtf/widgets-retro-and-infra-support/created-2022.jpg)\n\nIn 2024, after the official Nouns mobile app widget stopped updating, I created the Art widget so everyone could still enjoy a Noun of the day on their phone.\n\n![added-2024](https://nounishimg.iamng.wtf/widgets-retro-and-infra-support/added-2024.jpg)\n\nThroughout this period, I\u2019ve kept all widgets running, fixing bugs whenever newly minted nouns with special traits broke rendering, and personally covering all backend infrastructure, domain, and hosting costs for both the data backend and the installation website (nounswidgets.wtf).\n\n## Now - 2028 (Future Work)\n\nWith the next updates I plan to:\n\n1. Polish existing widgets and bring them up to date with the latest iOS versions (e.g. proper support for tinted and transparent styles). \n2. Introduce two brand-new widgets. A Small Governance widget (perfect for users who want to stay updated on proposals but don\u2019t want to allocate space for the Medium sized widget) and a Lock Screen Proposals widget (a clean, compact display of active proposals right above the clock on your lock screen).\n \n ![to-create-gov-small](https://nounishimg.iamng.wtf/widgets-retro-and-infra-support/to-create.jpg) \n3. Upgrade the Auction and Governance widgets to support Big size with more proposals and richer proposal information in Medium sized widget when space allows.\n \n ![to-improve](https://nounishimg.iamng.wtf/widgets-retro-and-infra-support/to-improve.jpg) \n4. This proposal will also cover ongoing backend, domain, and development costs that arise to keep everything running smoothly(art updates, iOS widget API changes, Nouns contract updates, etc.) until the end of 2028. \n\n# Funding Requested\n\n**0.69 ETH**.\n\nFunding breakdown:\n\n- \\~**30%** - Retro funding for 2024\u20132025 (infra, support, and adding the Art widget). \n- \\~**40%** - 3 years of infrastructure and support costs (2026\u20132028). \n- \\~**30%** - Development of the new Small Governance and Lock Screen Proposals widgets + updates to Auction and Governance widgets + small updates of existing widgets. \n\n# Timeline\n\n- New widget + all updates delivered within **4 weeks** of funding (Small Governance and Lock Screen ready in \\~2 weeks). \n- Ongoing development support and maintenance will continue until the end of 2028. \n\n# Who?\n\n[NG](https://twitter.com/iamng_eth).

[Yayasan Amal Islam Kariango](https://maps.app.goo.gl/HqwLMtPojzycXKpe8), August 4, 2025 \n \n Next, we plan to visit several schools, namely:\u200b [TK Angkasa 3](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DNaFRX6qwTij2wRg9), [TKIT Mufti Al Maraghi](https://maps.app.goo.gl/tfMz9BPxcyR1kPG57), [TK Luqman Hakim](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6eNQbqjqHrvKtxuu6), and many more. \n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/X36CI9i.jpeg)\n\n- ## We collaborate with other brands\n \n We have collaborated with brands like [mETH](https://x.com/mETHProtocol) and [Polkadot](https://x.com/Polkadot) by creating DIY tote bags and special booths, showcasing their designs weekly to both promote the brands and boost Nounscraft\u2019s income. *This collaboration is still in the pilot project phase, so we have not yet received any funding from it.* Next, we plan to collaborate with **Base Indonesia**, **Tokocrypto**, and **Polkadot Indonesia**. \n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/wrgRQSY.jpeg)\n\n- ## We are conducting research on new DIY products.\n \n To diversify Nounscraft\u2019s offerings, which have gained strong interest during three weeks of testing.We introduced new DIY products like:\n \n - totebags \n - hats \n - slingbag \n - paint by number canvases \n - keychains \n - plant vases \n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/1QxV05v.jpeg)\n\n- ## What do people say about Nounscraft?\n \n 1. \u201c*We are very happy to have Nounscraft here. The children are so enthusiastic about coloring that they even color their clothes*\u201d, **Andi Bunayya, Founder of Bunayya Islamic School and Montessori**. \n 2. *\"The first time I saw Nounscraft, I was immediately interested and asked my mom to buy me one. Not only is it beautiful, but I can also freely color this piggy bank*,\" **Bagas, 12 years old**. \n 3. \u201c*As a parent, this is a great medium for honing children's creativity. During CFD, I can run around freely because my child is busy coloring here*\u201d, **Ahmad Habibi, Ammar's father, 49 years old**. \n\n# Whats Next?\n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/jo6Wu1m.gif)\n\n- ## Kids Activation\n \n - **Weekly Exhibition** Building on our previous proposal, we will continue hosting impactful weekly Nounscraft exhibitions **every Sunday** at CFD [Lanud Hasanuddin](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jFcZnM4sdHa1Ejh87), Maros, with **mini gallery artworks** refreshed **every 3 months** featuring creations from Nouns artists. \n - **Monthly School Visit** Through Nounscraft, we bring Nouns to schools and orphanages **each month** to promote sustainable development, saving, recycling, and creativity while showcasing Nounish artworks and physical works by Nouns artists. \n - **Bi-monthly Art Contest** We will host **bi-monthly** art competitions on tote bags, piggy banks, canvases, and sketchbooks, providing a platform for children to showcase their talents and creativity. \n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/7j5XWlV.gif)\n\n- ## Students and Web3 Brand Collaboration\n \n - **Expanding Creative Brand Collaborations** Nounscraft sees DIY kits as a powerful medium for brand partnerships, proven through collaborations with Polkadot and mETH. We plan to expand our lineup\u2014from tote bags to bucket hats, paint-by-number sets, and trendy kites\u2014while joining brand meetups like **Base**, **Polkadot**, and **Tokocrypto** to bring creativity and meaningful engagement to every collaboration. \n - **Nounscraft Goes to Campus** Since Nounsweek, we\u2019ve built strong ties with universities and students. Through the Tuk-tuk Nounscraft, we\u2019ll introduce Web3, DAO, and Nouns via interactive coloring sessions at ***[Hasanuddin University](https://unhas.ac.id/)***,***[ Makassar State University](https://unm.ac.id/)***, and ***[Bosowa University](https://unibos.ac.id/)***\u2014held **every two months** to keep creativity and collaboration alive on campus. \n - **Students Craft Contest & Exhibition** Through the Nounscraft Craft Contest, we combine art, education, and exhibition to introduce Nouns to students across Indonesia. The best creations\u2014made on canvases, piggy banks, or tote bags\u2014will be exhibition on the Nounscraft Tuk-tuk, celebrating creativity and Web3 collaboration. The contest **runs every six months** to spark young creative minds. \n\n![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/NGkMamX.gif)\n\n- ## Sustainability Plan\n \n Nounscraft ensures **long-term growth through community**-**driven creativity**. By involving participants as co-creators\u2014**designing DIY kits**, **joining art contests**, and showcasing their work\u2014Nounscraft builds a strong sense of ownership that **naturally drives engagement** and **organic sales**.\n \n Through consistent public visibility at **weekly exhibitions** and **community activities**, Nounscraft transforms creative participation into recurring revenue. **Within six months**, this approach enables a **full transition** from **funding-based operations** to a **self-sustaining business model**. \n- ## Timeline & Deliverable\n \n ![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/PirNNS6.png) \n- ## Success Metrics\n \n - **30+** DIY kits sold **every week** \n - **50+** people ask about Nouns **every week** \n - **30+** students participate in School Visits **every month** \n - **20+** participants in the kids art contest **every two months** \n - **40+** students participate in Nounscraft goes to campus activities **every two months** \n - **35+** participants in the students art contest with nounish works \n - **1K+** engagements **every month** on Nounscraft social media \n\n# The Budget\n\n| Category | Item | Amount | Cost (USDC) |\n| -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------- | ----------- |\n| Repairs and Updates the Tuk-Tuks | Regular Service | 1 time / 6 months | 200 |\n| | Sticker Renewal | 1 time / 6 months | 240 |\n| | Additional Art Equipment | 1 time / year | 400 |\n| Kids & Community Activation | Monthly School Visit | 1 time / month | 600 |\n| | DIY Kit | 2,000 pieces | 6,000 |\n| | Weekly Exhibition at CFD | 4 times / month | 2,200 |\n| | Bi-monthly Art Contest | 1 time / 2 months | 400 |\n| Students Activity | Nounscraft Goes to Campus | 1 campus / 2 months | 1,200 |\n| | Students Art Contest & Exhibitions | 1 time / 6 months | 1,500 |\n| Branding & Marketing | Brand Development & Partnership | 2 times / month | 600 |\n| | Marketing & Content Creation | 4 content / month | 1,200 |\n| | Social Media Promotion | 1 time / month | 400 |\n| Team Compensation | Faishal | 300 / month | 1,800 |\n| | Zulfikar | 200 / month | 1,200 |\n| Total | | | 17,940 |\n\n*Funding request covers 6 months of operations.

Designed to get Nouns DAO exposure, forever. NounStrategy will automatically buy and list floor Nouns for a profit, using trading fees generated by the $NOUNSTR token.\n\n## How it works:\n\n1. An ERC20 token gets deployed to a Uniswap V4 pool with a hook that enforces a 10% buy/sell fee. Token is fair-launched with a full supply (1,000,000,000 tokens), then added to the liquidity pool \n2. Whether bought/sold, fees pool up in ETH, with 8% to the Noun accumulation pool, 1% to Nouns DAO treasury, and 1% to buy and burn $PNKSTR (the PunkStrategy protocol token that powers it all) \n3. Once the accumulation pool reaches the threshold for a floor Noun purchase, anyone can execute a buy and re-list at 1.2x, and when it sells, all of the ETH buys and burns the official $NOUNSTR token \n\nFees are enforced at the contract-level using custom Uniswap v4 hooks, which means each trade MUST pay the fee to be executed. There is an initial 99% buy fee, which lowers to a resting 10% fee in order to prevent sniping.\n\nI've reached out to [Adam](https://x.com/rhynotic) to ensure Nouns voting delegation can be passed through, after successful deployment, to avoid bricking DAO governance in case of significant traction. \n\n## Looking ahead\n\nI see this as a great opportunity to expand the Nouniverse, generate secondary volume, attract new auction bids, distribute dormant treasury Nouns, and inspire a new era of experimentation among nounsfolk.\n\nAttached transaction deploys everything required for NounStrategy to function, including payment of the 1 ETH deployment fee ([see docs](https://docs.tokenstrategy.com/)). Our strategy will be indexed and get its own UI like [this CrypToadz example](https://www.tokenstrategy.com/strategies/0x92cedfdbce6e87b595e4a529afa2905480368af4).\n\nIf successful, we'd be the first fully onchain DAO executed strategy deployment.\n\nFollow [@nounstrategy](https://farcaster.xyz/nounstrategy) with notis on.\n\n\u2310\u25e8-\u25e8", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 901, "title": "Reward the Nounish (EOY Award Show) \u2744\ufe0f", "description": "# Reward the Nounish (EOY Award Show) \u2744\ufe0f\n\nProposing to give away a Noun each day from December 27th to December 31st via a Nouns gg round that will open ASAP for submissions and Noun holders vote for a winner each day. \n\nEach day the top participant will be rewarded a Noun, removed from the round, and the round continues (Nouns to be distributed by Duna Admins to winner each day 27/28/29/30/31 in ascending order of Noun).\n\nAnyone is able to qualify on [nouns.gg](https://nouns.gg) **as long as they signal/vote on this proposal (zeroweight votes included)** and each Noun = 10 votes.\n\nHope to spread some festive cheer here and celebrate Nounish stuff, please share the proposal far and wide and encourage people to engage.", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 902, "title": "Steward Lil: World Police 2026/7? - Not The Book of Nouns - case study (part I of II)", "description": "# Steward Lil: World Police 2026/7? - Not The Book of Nouns - case study (part I of II)\n\ntl;dr: fund me as a cross-DAO steward connecting builders, artists, and IRL/online activations\n\n*Note: asking for delegation of treasury-held Lil Nouns in a separate proposal (Timelock v1, no candidate option but will post for comment) - part II of II.*\n\n![](https://media.tenor.com/hClebTCgR3IAAAAM/team-america-team-america-world-police.gif \"\u201cWorld Police\u201d tongue-in-cheek, not authority or enforcement.\")\n\ngm nouns \u2600\n\nI\u2019m Lil Noun 67 / Noun 544 (60r9(0)/pipe/pip/9193/snowman \u2014 depending on where we met). I\u2019m submitting this as a concrete stewardship case study amid ongoing discussion about stewardship norms in Nouns governance.\n\nOver recent times, governance has been made from wallets I control, and obviously many mistakes have been made, including a current loss of approximately \\~6\u039e from holding nocguild treasury in mog coin. I take responsibility for this and documented it via [propdate](https://www.propdates.wtf/update/832-3) at the start of the month (included here for transparency).\n\nI\u2019ve remained one of the most active participants across Nounish DAOs: authoring and sponsoring many proposals, casting thousands of votes (largely with written reasoning), and working at the intersection of governance, ritual, and meme culture through [/noc](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/noc) and related initiatives.\n\nI govern from this address and [nocguild.eth](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/0xada31add8450ca0422983b9a3103633b78938617) (noc-focused; stats combine both). Governance at nocguild is basically solo now (while considering any delegate POV) and earlier collective attempts over the past two years failed not due to participation, but due to **variety attenuation** with influence redistributed among the same actors rather than introducing new perspectives. I refocused nocguild as a **ritual promotion + outward-facing cultural surface**, not an internal governance body, and I believe this is more beneficial for Nouns at this moment in time.\n\n## Relevant track record (high level)\n\n- 80+ authored/sponsored proposals across Nouns & Lil Nouns \n- Thousands of votes cast (mostly with reasoning) \n- Gifted 30+ Lil Nouns & tens of thousands in Nouns/ETH/Toadz etc for games \n- Distributed tens of thousands in noc grants across many countries for social impact/art/design/creative endeavours etc \n- created [probe.wtf](https://www.probe.wtf): 30+ Nouns sold at auction, 15 art proposals shipped onchain \n- Helped [recover ~$250k](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/766) for Nouns DAO in 2025 (hence Noun 911/Police meme) \n\nI want to keep pushing outward both IRL & URL: miniapps, delegates, governance bodies, and better URL/IRL onramps for outsiders who are slowly discovering Nouns, Lil Nouns & noc.

I\u2019m also nearing completion of a vintage \"**Ice Cream Van\"** in Costa Rica (in reality an IRL mobile Nounish cultural node, grounded in joy and art), this is a collaboration with Lil Nouns and will become a daily roadshow spreading the Nounish word on the beach.\n\nWith additional capacity I\u2019ll expand:\n\n- Live streams + open community calls ([TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@pipedasnowman)/[X](https://x.com/60r90)/[Zora](https://zora.co/@pip3) + longer-form docs/interviews) \n- IRL documentation (books/zines) + community conversations \n- **/noc Daily Scribe detailing Nounish happenings** (850+ days of practice here) \n\n**Accountability:** weekly (gov call) + monthly updates summarizing collaborations, activations, and outcomes (I like doing these): [https://www.propdates.wtf/leaderboard](https://www.propdates.wtf/leaderboard)\n\n## Budget\n\nRequesting support to buy focus, time, and continuity to work full-time Nouns in 2026: **$3,200/month + $31,020 upfront = $69,420 total +** [Noun 911](https://probe.wtf/nouns/911)\n\n The upfront enables runway for resources, travel/scheduling, and allows me to go all-in Nouns from day one next year - I\u2019m open to adjustments if the DAO prefers a different structure. I've been a freelance designer my entire life, and have several long-term clients, but this would make Nouns my priority without worrying financially. \n\n## Optionality (non-binding)\n\nSeparately, I\u2019m exploring additional longer-term IRL opportunities in Costa Rica (preserving land and nature, providing eco-friendly education facilities and resources) that could one day be relevant to Nouns; any such ideas would come as independent proposals.

All outputs will be archived on chain as a public good.\n\nThis proposal funds one season only.\n\n# Why This Matters\n\nWeb3 excels at creation and speculation. What it lacks is interpretation. The critical layer that turns artworks, collections and cultural movements into history rather than isolated events.\n\nLong form writing, deep context and rigorous critique are rarely produced inside the ecosystem. This initiative fills that gap by bringing world class critics directly into the logic, communities and aesthetic concerns of on-chain art.\n\nFor NounsDAO, the value is clear:\n\n***funding meaning, not just moments.***\n\nSeason One creates cultural infrastructure with compounding impact over time.\n\n![](https://salmon-capable-finch-923.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafkreifczcusoemjbmakavqbj4wrnibfq7zeg6msb7obqmfep7nmiheppm)\n\n# Season One\n\nSeason One brings together three of the most influential critical voices working today across digital art, emerging technologies, creative systems and cultural analysis. Their engagement signals to the broader world that on-chain art merits serious interpretation and long-form critique.\n\n## Nora N. Khan\n\nNora Khan is one of the leading thinkers at the intersection of digital art, software, machine learning, and emerging technology. A Harvard and Iowa trained writer and critic, she is known for her hybrid, genre-bending prose and her groundbreaking essay [Towards a Poetics of Artificial Superintelligence](https://medium.com/after-us/towards-a-poetics-of-artificial-superintelligence-ebff11d2d249) (translated into ten languages).\n\nHer books [Seeing, Naming, Knowing](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/52438478-seeing-naming-knowing) and [Fear Indexing The X-Files](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/35341985-fear-indexing-the-x-files?ref=nav_sb_ss_2_13) are widely taught in programs focused on AI, digital aesthetics and computational culture. She has been an editor at [Rhizome](https://rhizome.org/), guest editor at [HOLO](https://www.holo.mg/), and the curator of major exhibitions such as [Manual Override at The Shed](https://www.theshed.org/program/63-manual-override) and [A Cosmic Movie Camera at the 2024 Biennale de l\u2019Image en Mouvement in Geneva](https://www.digitalartsblog.com/exhibitions/epoch-a-cosmic-movie-camera). She has taught at RISD and UCLA and is considered one of the most rigorous minds in contemporary technology driven art criticism.\n\n## Brian Droitcour\n\nBrian Droitcour is Editor-in-Chief of [Outland](https://outlandart.substack.com/), the leading publication dedicated to digital art, creative coding, and AI-assisted practices. He is one of the few critics who has consistently taken on-chain art, generative art and emerging digital aesthetics seriously and critically. Before Outland, he spent seven years as an editor at [Art in America](https://www.artnews.com/c/art-in-america/), shaping special issues on generative art and the digitised museum. He has published in [Artforum](https://www.artforum.com/), [Rhizome](https://rhizome.org/), [4Columns](https://4columns.org/), [Spike](https://www.spikeartmagazine.com/), [The New Inquiry](https://thenewinquiry.com/) and numerous exhibition catalogues.\n\nBrian is equally known for pioneering \u201cvernacular criticism\u201d including his influential early project of reviewing art on Yelp. His work bridges institutional critique, internet culture and emergent digital practices with unusual clarity and accessibility.\n\n## Jonathan T. D. Neil\n\nJonathan T. D. Neil brings over 25 years of experience across art criticism, higher education, market analysis, creative entrepreneurship and institutional leadership. He holds a PhD in Art History from Columbia University and has served as Associate Provost and Professor of Art Business & Arts Management at Claremont Graduate University, and as Founding Director of Sotheby\u2019s Institute of Art in Los Angeles.\n\nHe co founded [Inversion Art](https://www.inversionart.com/), a YC-style accelerator designed to give artists long-term stability through investment, mentorship, and market ecosystems. His writing appears in [ArtReview](https://artreview.com/), [Hyperallergic](https://hyperallergic.com/), [Modern Painters](https://www.modernpainters.co.uk/), [The Art Newspaper](https://www.theartnewspaper.com/), and [The Brooklyn Rail](https://brooklynrail.org/), where he edited the Al Held Essays. Neil\u2019s commentary bridges theory, market systems, institutional dynamics, and contemporary aesthetics with unusual breadth.\n\nTogether, these critics represent a rare concentration of depth, influence, and cross domain insight. Exactly the calibre of voices capable of meaningfully interpreting the evolution of on chain culture.\n\nAcross social platforms alone, core contributors to Verse Talks and its surrounding critical ecosystem collectively maintain a visible audience exceeding 125,000 followers. This, however, reflects only the surface layer of distribution. Their primary and more consequential reach operates through art world institutions, academic discourse, magazines, museum programming, conference circuits, and long form editorial platforms. Channels where audience size is not publicly quantified but where influence historically exceeds social visibility by an order of magnitude through citation, teaching, curation and secondary publication.

It emphasizes surprise, participation, and collectability over individual object valuation, aligning with Nouns\u2019 cultural logic.\n\nGacha encourages breadth over scarcity: many people receive something, rather than a few people extracting perceived value. This mirrors Nouns\u2019 emphasis on memetic spread, play, and shared cultural artifacts rather than prestige ownership.\n\nFrom a production standpoint, gacha supports iteration and variation. Small runs, subtle differences, and experimental forms are expected and celebrated, making it an ideal format for early-stage physical exploration where outcomes are intentionally unknown.\n\nCulturally, boutique Japanese-style gacha has deep precedent in art toys and character IP incubation. Many enduring art-toy ecosystems began as low-stakes gacha experiments before evolving into broader worlds, narratives, and formats.\n\nGacha participants do not choose outcomes, reducing entitlement, speculation, or promises of value. Success is measured in engagement, delight, and cultural resonance\u2014not floor prices or resale.\n\n---\n\n## Risks & Unknowns\n\n**Physical production risk:** As with any physical toy work, timelines and iteration cycles may shift as prototypes are refined. This proposal funds exploration and learning, not guaranteed final production.\n\n**Market response uncertainty:** While gacha and art toys have strong cultural precedent, there is no guarantee of demand or resale value. Success is measured in cultural reach and experimentation, not financial return.\n\n**Prototype scope ambiguity:** \u201c\\~100 prototypes\u201d may include variations, test runs, or experimental forms rather than 100 finalized, production-ready SKUs. The exact composition will emerge through making.\n\n**Revenue & legal structure unresolved:** Any future revenue-sharing model, DUNA involvement, or formal ownership structure is explicitly out of scope for this proposal and would require a separate governance process.\n\n**Execution precedent:** This proposal reroutes funds already fronted due to a previously passed proposal not executing.

Then if the next quarterly prop is funded, that becomes 8% and so on. \n - The achieved % remains even if quarterly props stop being funded - with the understanding that achieving breakout success and substantial revenue takes time and money. \n - Note: *This implies a revenue sharing agreement and not ownership of the IP. Sole creative control and ownership of the IP will remain with the Canadian production corp.

This proposal lays out relevant legal guidance, admin responsibilities, and related information for the upcoming DUNA admin term.\n\nThe Compliance Administrators\u2019 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 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.\n\n---\n\n## Introduction \n\nHello everyone, I am submitting this proposal to formally appoint myself, Peterpandam, as a DUNA Compliance Administrator. \n\nI have been an active member of the Nouns ecosystem since the spring of 2022. My journey began with Nouns Esports, a project that significantly accelerated my crypto education and sparked a deep curiosity for decentralized governance. Since then, I have maintained a consistent and dedicated presence across various Nouns activities and sub-communities.\n\nWhile I am stepping back from the day-to-day operations of Nouns Esports this year, I remain committed to contributing to the DAO. The DUNA Compliance Administrator role allows me to apply my operational expertise to benefit the collective while I evaluate my next creative endeavors within the ecosystem.\n\nI am uniquely qualified for this position due to my experience operating small-to-medium-sized businesses. Throughout my professional career, I have routinely collaborated with legal counsel, financial advisors, and accountants to ensure that all entities and personnel (both employees and contractors) operate within a compliant and secure framework.\n\nIn 2025 I took the lead on compliance for Nouns Esports. In this capacity, I ensured the safety and regulatory standing of our operations and managed the onboarding and compliance for over 50 KYC\u2019d contractors.\n\nI understand that managing finances, tax liabilities, and sensitive personal information is a labor-intensive task. However, it is a crucial foundation for any organization operating at scale. I am comfortable, experienced, and fully prepared to bring this level of administrative support to Nouns in 2026.\n\n**Additional Note:** I am based in the United States of America.\n\n## Modifications \n\nI don\u2019t have any modifications to the role's scope. I am offering my services to execute the job exactly as it\u2019s described. I have no interest in expanding the scope or \"upselling\" my services to the DAO in hopes of being chosen. \n\nIn most traditional small businesses, these responsibilities are handled by a CEO. However, Nouns is a DAO with a unique DUNA entity, which requires a different approach. This role should exist to help the DAO move forward while staying outside the scope of influence whenever possible. My plan is to provide the necessary administrative support without overstepping into the DAO\u2019s creative or governing direction.\n\n## Eligibility \n\nThis proposal is in accordance with the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process ratified by the Election Process proposal, and meets the following criteria:\n\nCandidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window. \n\nCompensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC. \n\nNominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs.\n\n## Closing Statement\n\nThank you for your consideration. Regardless of the outcome, there are no hard feelings if I am not chosen. I believe Index and Satori did a fantastic job in 2025. Their willingness to dive in and pioneer the future of this DAO is honorable and will always be a part of our history. If the community desires, I would be more than happy to serve the DAO in a similar capacity.\n\n---\n\n# DUNA Context and Admin Info\n\nNouns 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:\n\n\"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.\n\nThe DAO now operates as a legally recognized nonprofit association within the United States. This requires ongoing compliance with:\n\n- U.S. federal tax rules \n- Wyoming state law \n- OFAC and sanctions-related restrictions \n- Record-keeping obligations \n- Information-reporting requirements for grant recipients \n\nThe Compliance Administrator structure exists to ensure that the DAO can confidently and continuously meet these obligations.\n\n# Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities\n\n 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.\n\n## Proposal and Legal Oversight\n\n- Review proposals for legal, tax, sanctions, and governance risks \n- Confirm alignment with Bylaws and U.S. law \n- Provide guidance on grant structures and complex proposal flows \n- Engage legal counsel only when needed for liability, sanctions, contracts, or governance interpretation \n\n## Grant and Treasury Compliance\n\n- Collect and maintain required tax documents before disbursement \n- Administer sanctions checks and verify grantee eligibility \n- Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors on proper categorization and reporting \n- Support accurate crypto or fiat payouts authorized by proposals \n\n## KYC and Contributor Onboarding\n\n- Manage grantee onboarding and verification through Persona \n- Assist with technical or verification issues \n- Maintain secure compliance records for audits and reporting needs \n\n## Operations and Administration\n\n- Execute required offchain actions for passed proposals, including agreements and payments \n- Manage compliance documentation and secure storage \n- Oversee offchain assets and infrastructure such as domains and service accounts \n- Coordinate with registered agent and external vendors \n- Ensure administrator actions reflect the intent and scope of passed proposals \n\n## Community Transparency\n\n- Answer contributor questions about compliance and legal processes \n- Publish updates, resources, and best practices \n- Provide compliance insights to Veto Administrators when needed \n\nThe above work enables smooth operations, reduces legal and tax exposure, and ensures the DAO remains transparent and accountable to its contributors.\n\n---\n\n# Administrator Duties \n\nThe 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.\n\nPer 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:\n\nReviewing each DAO proposal for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the DAO' governing principles. Compliance includes:\na) Tax compliance and confirming receipt of W9 or W8 tax information for grant recipients prior to disbursement of funds.\nb) OFAC/Sanctions compliance by confirming there is an operational wallet check process.\nc) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. ensuring no illegal activity is included in a proposal).\n\nThe 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.\n\nAdditionally, 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.\nThe Compliance Administrator may coordinate the contracting of a Registered Agent as allows by the Wyoming DUNA Act, 17-32-110 \"Appointment of agent to receive service of process\", and serve as the contact for said agent.\n\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\n# Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities \n\nDuring 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.\n\nAdditionally, the Compliance Administrators will avoid voting on Nouns DAO proposals in any subdaos or meta-governance during their term.\n\nThe Compliance Administrators may however submit any proposals needed to further the authorized activities noted in this proposal or as needed.\n\n## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing \n\nIn 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.\n\n## Indemnification\n\nThe 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).\n\n## Term\n\nThe 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 Administrators. Note: Administrators are independent contractors and not employees of the DAO.\n\n## Additional Governing Documents\n\nRelevant 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.\n\n## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement\n\nThe proposed compensation for Peterpandam's role as Compliance Administrator will be 80,000 USDC paid via stream (6,666.67 USDC per month). This stream will be cancellable upon the passage of a proposal to remove and/or replace the Compliance Administrator.\n\nAdministrators 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.\n\nFollowing the successful passing of this proposal, the DUNA will enter into an Administrator Agreement with Peterpandam that sets forth the proposed compensation and other terms and conditions of their role as Compliance Administrator.\n\n---\n\n# Transactions \n\nStream 80,000 USDC to 0xc8121992BF7869CE3b16463822BBeD8b4E9701DB from 2/1/2026 through 1/31/2027", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 911, "title": "Noun 911", "description": "# Noun 911\n\n# This is a retroactive proposal \ud83d\ude93\n\nIt asks the DAO to recognize work that already exists (and nothing more).\n\nDetails of that work are documented in Proposal 902: [https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/902](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/902)\n\nIn the time since writing that proposal, I've helped distribute 8 additional Nouns to community.\n\n### What This Proposal Is Not\n\n- Not a job \n- Not a role \n- Not a roadmap \n- Not a promise \n\nNo future work is being offered within this proposal.\nNo expectations are being created within this proposal.\n\n### What This Proposal Asks\n\nOnly one question:\n\n1.

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.\n\n---\n\n## Introduction\n\nHey! I'm Satori, a long-time contributor within the Nouniverse and one of the current DUNA Compliance Administrators. I\u2019m applying to continue in the role of Compliance Administrator (or Reserve). \n\nOver 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nThis nomination proposal seeks to continue the work I have been performing during the DAO\u2019s first year as a DUNA. Some of what we accomplished throughout 2025 includes:\n\n- Coordinated legal, tax, and accounting advisors to ensure a smooth transition to DUNA \n- Formed the DUNA\u2019s core infrastructure, including EIN, Wyoming virtual office, treasury wallets, admin multisigs, bank account, etc \n- Implemented KYC, tax documentation, and sanctions screening workflows for grantees and vendors, including W-9 and W-8 collection \n- Established the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process \n\n## Modifications\n\nI 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.\n\n## Eligibility\n\nThis proposal is in accordance with the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process ratified by [the Election Process proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/905), and meets the following criteria:\n\n- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window. \n- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC. \n- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs. \n\n## Closing Statement\n\nI 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.\n\nI\u2019m 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.\n\n---\n\n# DUNA Context and Admin Info\n\nNouns DAO has completed its transition from a Cayman Foundation structure to a Wyoming DUNA, as authorized in [Proposal 662](https://nouns.wtf/vote/662).

I\u2019m applying to continue in the role of Nouns DUNA Compliance Administrator (or Reserve).\n\nOver the last year, I\u2019ve been fortunate to serve as Compliance Administrator during the initial DUNA transition and first operating year. My work focused on making the Wyoming DUNA real in practice while building processes and structure that balanced regulatory compliance with the DAO\u2019s long history and unique culture.\n\nSome of that work included:\n\n- Coordinating with the Foundation and its advisors to ensure a seamless transition to the Wyoming DUNA \n- Working to establish new processes for the DUNA in line with legal, tax, and accounting advice \n- Supporting compliant payments and grants, including the return of funds from cancelled or adjusted proposals \n- Engaging with external parties to legitimize the DUNA through discussions and required documentation \n\nOutside of the DUNA work, I\u2019ve also contributed to Nouns in a variety of ways over the years:\n\n- **Noundry contributions**: Index Card head, Curling Stone head, broken heart accessory \n- **Meta-governance support**: Lil Nouns, Nouncil, Lil Nouncil \n- **ZeroWeight**: Experimented with providing a voice to community members without voting weight \n- **Tabs**: Built a resource-focused dashboard for DAO information \n- **Nouns.game**: Working on a Nouns client funded strictly through the incentive program, most known for the crystal ball \n\n## Modifications\n\nI think the Compliance Administrator role is already well defined, and it is best for the DAO\u2019s overall health if it remains that way.\n\nBased on my past experience, the Administrator will still receive requests that fall outside the specific scope of the role. When that happens, I will aim to be helpful without expanding authority. That may mean resolving something quickly, connecting the request with an appropriate DAO member, or bringing it to the broader DAO for discussion, with the goal of reducing friction and keeping things running smoothly.\n\n## Eligibility\n\nThis proposal is in accordance with the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process ratified by [the Election Process proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/905), and meets the following criteria:\n\n- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window. \n- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC. \n- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs. \n\n## Closing Statement\n\nI\u2019m grateful for the time I\u2019ve spent with Nouns so far, from the first FOMO and OG Noundry, through the different \u201cseasons\u201d and forks, and of course the infamous DUNA transition. I hope to keep contributing in whatever way is most useful, regardless of the outcome, and I\u2019m excited to see how Nouns continues to change everyday, forever.\n\n---\n\n# DUNA Context and Admin Info\n\nNouns 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:\n\n> \"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.\n\nThe DAO now operates as a legally recognized nonprofit association within the United States. This requires ongoing compliance with:\n\n- U.S. federal tax rules \n- Wyoming state law \n- OFAC and sanctions-related restrictions \n- Record-keeping obligations \n- Information-reporting requirements for grant recipients \n\nThe Compliance Administrator structure exists to ensure that the DAO can confidently and continuously meet these obligations.\n\n## Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities\n\nCompliance 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.\n\n**Proposal and Legal Oversight**\n\n- Review proposals for legal, tax, sanctions, and governance risks \n- Confirm alignment with Bylaws and U.S. law \n- Provide guidance on grant structures and complex proposal flows \n- Engage legal counsel only when needed for liability, sanctions, contracts, or governance interpretation \n\n**Grant and Treasury Compliance**\n\n- Collect and maintain required tax documents before disbursement \n- Administer sanctions checks and verify grantee eligibility \n- Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors on proper categorization and reporting \n- Support accurate crypto or fiat payouts authorized by proposals \n\n**KYC and Contributor Onboarding**\n\n- Manage grantee onboarding and verification through Persona \n- Assist with technical or verification issues \n- Maintain secure compliance records for audits and reporting needs \n\n**Operations and Administration**\n\n- Execute required offchain actions for passed proposals, including agreements and payments \n- Manage compliance documentation and secure storage \n- Oversee offchain assets and infrastructure such as domains and service accounts \n- Coordinate with registered agent and external vendors \n- Ensure administrator actions reflect the intent and scope of passed proposals \n\n**Community Transparency**\n\n- Answer contributor questions about compliance and legal processes \n- Publish updates, resources, and best practices \n- Provide compliance insights to Veto Administrators when needed \n\nThe above work enables smooth operations, reduces legal and tax exposure, and ensures the DAO remains transparent and accountable to its contributors.\n\n---\n\n## Administrator Duties\n\nThe 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.\n\nPer 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:\n\n1. Reviewing each DAO proposal for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the DAO' governing principles. Compliance includes:\n a) Tax compliance and confirming receipt of W9 or W8 tax information for grant recipients prior to disbursement of funds.\n b) OFAC/Sanctions compliance by confirming there is an operational wallet check process.\n c) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. ensuring no illegal activity is included in a proposal).\n 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.\n 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. \n2. 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. \n3. 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. \n4. 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. \n5. 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. \n\n## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities\n\nDuring 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.\n\nAdditionally, the Compliance Administrators will avoid voting on Nouns DAO proposals in any subdaos or meta-governance during their term. \n\nThe Compliance Administrators may however submit any proposals needed to further the authorized activities noted in this proposal or as needed.\n\n## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing\n\nIn 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.\n\n## Indemnification\n\nThe 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)**.\n\n## Term\n\nThe 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 Administrators. Note: Administrators are independent contractors and not employees of the DAO.\n\n## Additional Governing Documents\n\nRelevant 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.\n\n## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement\n\nThe proposed compensation for **Index**'s role as Compliance Administrator will be **72,000 USDC** paid via stream (**6,000 USDC per month**). This stream will be cancellable upon the passage of a proposal to remove and/or replace the Compliance Administrator.\n\nAdministrators 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.\n\nFollowing the successful passing of this proposal, the DUNA will enter into an Administrator Agreement with **Index** that sets forth the proposed compensation and other terms and conditions of their role as Compliance Administrator.\n\n---\n\n### Transactions\n\n- Stream **72,000 USDC** to **indexcard.eth (**0x10deC36B4AC9d3b60490dFE2799881287d4a74cc) from 2/1/2026 through 1/31/2027", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 915, "title": "Appoint wylin as DUNA Reserve Compliance Administrator", "description": "# Appoint wylin as DUNA Reserve Compliance Administrator\n\n## TL;DR\n\nAppoint wylin as a DUNA Reserve Compliance Administrator.

Each Reserve Administrator shall be elected to serve as the alternate for a Compliance Administrator during periods that the Compliance Administrator is unavailable. Each Compliance Administrator shall cooperate with their corresponding Reserve Administrator to ensure that one of them is available to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the Compliance Administrator at all times. \n- ii. Upon a Compliance Administrator\u2019s request, a Reserve Administrator may advise such Compliance Administrator on matters related to the Compliance Administrator\u2019s duties and responsibilities. \n- iii. Each Reserve Administrator shall refrain from voting on any DAO Proposals during such time they hold the Reserve Administrator position; provided, that, a Reserve Administrator may delegate his or her voting power in accordance with the rules set forth in the Code. \n\nif elected I'm committing to hosting monthly open office hours in the Nouns discord for DAO members to ask questions about operational tasks and activities of the DUNA; ie how advisor coordination is going, status of taxes and other payments, reviewing documents within the scope allowable by the DUNA law, and taking in suggestions for how the role could be better performed and/or transparency provided to the DAO.\n\n## Eligibility\n\nThis proposal is in accordance with the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process ratified by [the Election Process proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/ratify-the-2026-duna-admin-election-process-cf2f348c58003da37f2cc3b7bd8e99fc2ec0b49a), and meets the following criteria:\n\n- Nominees must post the required nomination statement on this proposal. \n- Nominees must secure sponsorship from another Nouner, except current administrators who may self-sponsor. \n- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window. \n- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 6/1/26 and end 5/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC. \n- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs. \n\n---\n\n# DUNA Context and Admin Info\n\nNouns DAO has completed its transition from a Cayman Foundation structure to a Wyoming DUNA, as authorized in [Proposal 662](https://nouns.wtf/vote/662).

My journey in crypto began back in 2012 and Nouns sparked a deep curiosity for decentralized governance. Since then, I have maintained a consistent and dedicated presence across various Nouns activities and sub-communities.\n\nI am uniquely positioned to serve as a DUNA Compliance Administrator, bringing over a decade of legal and compliance operations leadership combined with deep roots in crypto. My irl career sits at the intersection of legal compliance, operational efficiency, and scaling enterprises\u2014precisely what this role demands.\n\nAs the Head of Legal Operations at publicly traded companies and private companies I have established legal operating policies, maintained documentation standards, and coordinated with accountants, tax advisors, and legal counsel across multiple organizations\u2014directly mirroring the DUNA Admin's responsibilities.\n\nI have developed and implemented technology solutions including contract management (15k contracts per year), matter management with over 100+ law firms, eDiscovery tools, OFAC sanctions (50,000+ customers) and workflow automation. Built scalable systems for tracking, documentation, and reporting\u2014essential for grant compliance and tax readiness. Recently won my company hackathon for AI and Innovation.\n\nWhat I bring to Nouns is experience translating between technical, legal, and operational stakeholders; essential for coordinating with accountants, lawyers, grantees, and DAO members. As well as deep crypto knowledge in the space.\n\n## Modifications\n\nI am seeking a part time role specifically as a DUNA Admin Reserve.\n\n## Eligibility\n\nThis proposal is in accordance with the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process ratified by [the Election Process proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/905), and meets the following criteria:\n\n- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window. \n- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC. \n- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs. \n\n## Closing Statement\n\nRegardless of the outcome, Thank you for your consideration. Although I am relatively new to the DAO compared to others, I believe I bring a unique set of skills to the table that very few in crypto can bring.\n\nThis role requires navigating U.S. tax law and nonprofit regulations while maintaining what makes Nouns special. I can translate between lawyers and community. I bring professional rigor without bureaucratic bloat.\n\nOver the past decade leading legal operations at companies, I've built the exact systems DUNA requires\u2014vendor coordination, compliance documentation, KYC processes, and audit-ready workflows.

Under the Wyoming DUNA Act:\n\n> \"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.\n\nThe DAO now operates as a legally recognized nonprofit association within the United States. This requires ongoing compliance with:\n\n- U.S. federal tax rules \n- Wyoming state law \n- OFAC and sanctions-related restrictions \n- Record-keeping obligations \n- Information-reporting requirements for grant recipients \n\nThe Compliance Administrator structure exists to ensure that the DAO can confidently and continuously meet these obligations.\n\n## Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities\n\nCompliance 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.\n\n**Proposal and Legal Oversight**\n\n- Review proposals for legal, tax, sanctions, and governance risks \n- Confirm alignment with Bylaws and U.S. law \n- Provide guidance on grant structures and complex proposal flows \n- Engage legal counsel only when needed for liability, sanctions, contracts, or governance interpretation \n\n**Grant and Treasury Compliance**\n\n- Collect and maintain required tax documents before disbursement \n- Administer sanctions checks and verify grantee eligibility \n- Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors on proper categorization and reporting \n- Support accurate crypto or fiat payouts authorized by proposals \n\n**KYC and Contributor Onboarding**\n\n- Manage grantee onboarding and verification through Persona \n- Assist with technical or verification issues \n- Maintain secure compliance records for audits and reporting needs \n\n**Operations and Administration**\n\n- Execute required offchain actions for passed proposals, including agreements and payments \n- Manage compliance documentation and secure storage \n- Oversee offchain assets and infrastructure such as domains and service accounts \n- Coordinate with registered agent and external vendors \n- Ensure administrator actions reflect the intent and scope of passed proposals \n\n**Community Transparency**\n\n- Answer contributor questions about compliance and legal processes \n- Publish updates, resources, and best practices \n- Provide compliance insights to Veto Administrators when needed \n\nThe above work enables smooth operations, reduces legal and tax exposure, and ensures the DAO remains transparent and accountable to its contributors.\n\n---\n\n## Administrator Duties\n\nThe 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.\n\nPer 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:\n\n1. Reviewing each DAO proposal for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the DAO' governing principles. Compliance includes:\n a) Tax compliance and confirming receipt of W9 or W8 tax information for grant recipients prior to disbursement of funds.\n b) OFAC/Sanctions compliance by confirming there is an operational wallet check process.\n c) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. ensuring no illegal activity is included in a proposal).\n 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.\n 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. \n2. 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. \n3. 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. \n4. 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. \n5. 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. \n\n## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities\n\nDuring 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.\n\nAdditionally, the Compliance Administrators will avoid voting on Nouns DAO proposals in any subdaos or meta-governance during their term. \n\nThe Compliance Administrators may however submit any proposals needed to further the authorized activities noted in this proposal or as needed.\n\n## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing\n\nIn 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.\n\n## Indemnification\n\nThe 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)**.\n\n## Term\n\nThe 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.\n\n## Additional Governing Documents\n\nRelevant 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.\n\n## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement\n\nThe proposed compensation for Gramajo's role as Compliance Administrator will be 49,800 USDC paid via stream (4,150.00 USDC per month). This stream will be cancellable upon the passage of a proposal to remove and/or replace the Compliance Administrator.\n\nAdministrators 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.\n\nFollowing the successful passing of this proposal, the DUNA will enter into an Administrator Agreement with Gramajo LLC that sets forth the proposed compensation and other terms and conditions of their role as Compliance Administrator.\n\n---\n\n### Transactions\n\n- Stream 49,800 USDC to 0773h.eth from 2/1/2026 through 1/31/2027", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 917, "title": "Nouns Bus", "description": "# Nouns Bus\n\n## A Rolling Cultural Activation + IRL Billboard for Nouns\n\n- ETHBoulder (Feb 13\u201315) + ETHDenver (Feb 17\u201320) \n- Powered by Nouns x OnchainCreators\u2122 \n- \u201cDo Good, Have Fun\u201d (Colorado Edition) \n\n# Summary:\n\n### This proposal is for a Nouns Bus, produced in collaboration with Onchain Creators\u2122, running across Boulder and Denver during ETH Colorado.\n\n### The bus is not a logo placement or sponsorship asset.\n\nIt\u2019s a moving cultural object that brings Nouns values into the real world.\n\nIt will function as:\n\n- A **rolling billboard and cultural artifact** traveling Boulder \u2194 Denver for \\~2 weeks \n- An **open canvas** for Nounish community art \n- A **creator hub** for filming, storytelling, and Rally Challenge submissions \n- **Transportation for Nouns** (capacity permitting) across key conference moments \n- A **high-visibility public activation** parked at strategic locations (including ETHDenver & ETH Boulder venues) \n- A **mobile Nouns merch hub** where attendees can pick up Noggles, Nounish Friends + more! \n- A **curation pipeline** culminating at ETHDenver in collaboration with **Base + Refraction** \n\nThis is not just branding \u2014 it\u2019s how we **reinforce Nouns culture** and share it with the world through participation, not promotion.\n\n# Why This Matters:\n\n**Nouns is the culture layer of Ethereum.

To date, no deep regulatory analysis has been conducted to determine the most appropriate legal and tax structure for the DAO.\n\nAlso, community feedback has surfaced a key concern:\n\n> While the Italian Nonprofit + 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor model is promising, some operators - especially U.S.-based - are concerned about legal exposure, regulatory ambiguity, and perceived tax \u201cworkarounds.\u201d\n\nIn response, this proposal deliberately narrows its scope to a **professional feasibility and risk assessment**, ensuring that any future execution proposal is **legally robust, governance-aligned, and safe for DAO operators across jurisdictions**.\n\nBefore opening new entities or activating tax-optimization routes, the DAO funds a **time-boxed, paid consulting phase** to:\n\n- fully assess **legal and fiscal risks**, \n- evaluate compatibility with the **Wyoming DUNA** and the regulatory obligations applicable to U.S.-based operators, \n- suggest **risk-mitigation strategies** to ensure the DAO can remain operational globally \n- and present **clear go / no-go options** to Nouns. \n\n## What this proposal does not do\n\n- Does not create entities \n- Does not move treasury funds \n- Does not implement tax treatment \n- Does not introduce governance vetoes \n- Does not enable sanctions circumvention \n\nThis proposal funds **analysis and preparatory work, while** no new entity is created in this phase. What governance gets in Phase 1 is a clear decision memo: go, no-go, or alternatives, with written legal and tax rationale.\n\n---\n\n# Experts\u2019 Team\n\n**Salvatore Luciano Furnari,** #1681 \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 - PhD, lawyer, and chartered accountant specialised in fintech, crypto assets, and DAO regulation.

The Mission: United Nations HQ & France 2026\n\nOur 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:\n\n1. **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. \n2. **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. \n\n![IMG_9032-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1aDe84rbg.jpg)\n\n## 2. Our Method: Breaking \"Boundaries\" through Origami Art\n\nTo 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.\n\n**The Impact of Our Method:**\n\n- **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. \n- **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.\" \n\nWe 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.\"**\n\n![\u00ef\u00bc\u0091Untitled-design 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByC9-LVr-g.jpg)\n\nArticle of Newspaper [https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168](https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168)\n\n## 3. The Origin: A Challenge Born from a Small Studio\n\nThis 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.\n\nEven 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.\n\n## 4. Our Team: Multinational Solidarity Bound by \"Aspiration\"\n\nThis 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.\n\n- A translator in Kansai who supports us because we are not fluent in English. \n- Friends in the US, France, and Costa Rica who gather under the motto: \"Let's share the same dream.\" \n\nOur 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.\"\n\n## 5. Detailed Mission Budget (USDC)\n\nTo execute these large-scale international exhibitions and direct on-site workshops, we require the following operational budget (1 USD = 156.38 JPY).\n\n- **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.

ETHDenver is extending specific opportunities to the nounish ecosystem in good faith **without requiring a base sponsorship package**. This proposal covers the practical costs needed to actually use that access well \u2014 food, space, media, operations, and community support.\n\n## What ETHDenver Is Offering in Good Faith ( Feb 17-21 ) \n\nETHDenver has offered the following opportunities to the nounish ecosystem **without requiring a traditional sponsorship tier**:\n\n- **Invitations to register and speak on the ETHDenver BUIDL Mentor Stage**, allowing nounish builders to host workshops publicly. \n- **Designated presence at the ETHDenver MakerSpace**, with access to 3D printing, microcontrollers and hardware experimentation, screen printing, and physical prototyping. \n- **Designated presence in the ETHDenver Art Gallery**, with support for artist coordination and interviews. \n- **Facilitation support from ETHDenver organizers** to help integrate nounish programming across these spaces. \n\nThese opportunities provide access and visibility, but do not include staffing, food, or coordination.\n\n## ETH Boulder Programming (Feb 13\u201315)\n\nIn addition to ETHDenver, the nounish ecosystem will have an active presence at **ETH Boulder (Feb 13\u201315)**, which serves as the opening chapter of the Denver week.\n\nA submitted speaking track has been **accepted** for ETH Boulder and will be curated and run by the Nouns community as a **half-day series of talks and workshops** focused on:\n\n- **DAOs & Coordinative Tooling** \n- Practical governance infrastructure \n- Community-owned coordination models \n- Tools and experiments emerging from the nouniverse \n\nThe track will feature **projects, builders, and makers from across the nounish ecosystem** and is designed to be participatory and workshop-oriented rather than panel-driven. This programming sets the tone for the week and feeds directly into the ETHDenver presence that follows. Participation comes with free attendance for event participants and guest speakers, promotional support, and all venue logistics are being handled by the event. \n\n## What This Proposal Actually Funds\n\nThis proposal is **not** about buying a standard ETHDenver sponsorship package.\n\nETHDenver is already offering meaningful access and participation opportunities in good faith, including stage time and MakerSpace / Art Gallery integration. At the same time, certain high-impact elements \u2014 such as a dedicated lounge presence and on-site coordination around the Nouns Bus \u2014 are contingent on Nouns participating as a sponsor.\n\nWhat ETHDenver is *not* providing is the operational layer that makes any of this work smoothly: feeding builders, hosting and coordinating conversations, supporting on-site activations, and documenting what happens. This budget covers that execution layer so Nouns can use both the good-faith access and the sponsor-contingent opportunities in a way that feels intentional, coordinated, and welcoming.\n\n## Budget Breakdown \u2014 $16,000 Total\n\n**1) Food Sponsorship for Hackathon Builders \u2014 $5,000 (Sponsorship Item)** Meals and refreshments for builders participating in the hackathon and nounish activities. Keeps builders on-site and focused, supports BUIDL Mentor Stage participation and MakerSpace work, and signals that Nouns shows up for builders, not just logos.\n\n**2) Nouns Lounge Space \u2014 $5,000 (Sponsorship Item)** Support for a Nouns Lounge used for community vibes and informal gathering, builder demos and buidl talks, small working sessions, and steward-led activations connected to the MakerSpace and Art Gallery.\n\n**3) Media Production \u2014 $2,500** Production of a **\\~15-minute nounish mini-documentary** covering the full Denver week \u2014 **ETH Boulder and ETHDenver combined (Feb 13\u201321)**.\nThe film will document:\n\n- BUIDL Mentor Stage talks \n- MakerSpace and Art Gallery activity \n- Nouns Lounge programming \n- Broader nounish activity throughout the week \n- **Nouns Bus coverage**, including interviews with builders, artists, and community members \n\n**Production Team (working at discounted community rates):**\n\n- **Xtatic Productions Limited** \n- **Executive Producer:** Timothy Carter \n- **Director:** Calib Perkins \n- **Production Manager:** Aaden Beall \n- **Videographer:** Douglas Cheffield \n\nDeliverables include one polished \\~15-minute film and short clips for social and community sharing.\n\n**4) Discretionary / Merch / Community Spend \u2014 $3,500** Flexible budget to support:\n\n- Community merch and printed materials \n- Operations and logistics across the Denver week \n- Travel, gas, and coordination costs related to **ETH Boulder**, including the accepted half-day track \n- Small on-site needs that arise during the week \n\nThis allows the team to stay responsive and maintain continuity across events.\n\n## Additional High-Impact Accommodation (Sponsor-Contingent)\n\nIf Nouns DAO participates as a sponsor, ETHDenver has also extended the following **at no additional sponsorship cost**:\n\n- A **dedicated, on-site parking space for the Nouns Bus**, located **directly adjacent to the main venue entrance**. \n- Organizers will **actively facilitate Nouns Bus programming**, including:\n - Integrating bus activations into MakerSpace and Art Gallery mini-talks \n - Supporting steward-led programming and introductions \n - Coordinating logistics and venue requirements (hours \\~8am\u20131pm) \n - Integrating visits to the Nouns Bus and Lounge into the official ETHDenver scavenger hunt \n\nThis placement positions the Nouns Bus as a highly visible and easily accessible part of the overall campus experience, increasing participation and engagement.\n\n## Funds Handling & Execution\n\nApproved funds will be held in an **operational multisig vault** with a **3-of-4 signing threshold** to ensure transparency and shared oversight.\n\n**Multisig Signers:**\n\n- Willywonka.eth \n- Bennedictvs.eth \n- Gramajo.eth \n- SwarthyHatter.eth \n\n### Fund Allocation\n\n- **$10,000** will be transferred to **SporkDAO** upon receipt of invoice (food sponsorship + Nouns Lounge space at ETHDenver). \n- **$2,500** will be transferred to **Xtatic Productions Limited** for media production, documenting the full Denver week (**ETH Boulder + ETHDenver, Feb 13\u201321**). \n- **$3,500** will remain in the multisig and be used for **operations, logistics, merch, and incidental expenses** across the full Denver week. \n\nDiscretionary multisig spending will be deployed by the signer committee to maximize the impact and continuity of the Nouns presence. A post-event summary of expenditures can be shared with the community.\n\n## Why This Makes Sense\n\nETHDenver is offering access, space, and facilitation \u2014 not turnkey execution. This proposal funds the practical layer that turns access into impact, keeps the focus builder-first and hands-on, integrates culture and art alongside technical work, and ensures the moment is documented so it lives beyond the conference. This isn\u2019t about over-investing \u2014 it\u2019s about **showing up well**.\n\n## Closing\n\nETHDenver has extended meaningful good-faith opportunities to the nounish ecosystem, including prominent on-site support for the Nouns Bus contingent on sponsorship participation. This proposal ensures Nouns can responsibly activate that access, support builders and artists, and present a cohesive, visible presence aligned with our values across the full Denver week. The requested **$16,000** is a targeted, operational budget \u2014 not a traditional sponsorship buy-in. Happy to refine scope or steward roles as needed.\n\n## SporkDAO Specialty Sponsorship Offer\n\n[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N_PaxLgZ35k-L4QdZiPxScGZ6a6dfHi3-xWwbqRgD0I/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N_PaxLgZ35k-L4QdZiPxScGZ6a6dfHi3-xWwbqRgD0I/edit?usp=sharing)", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 922, "title": "24/7/365 Nouns Instagram @lilnouners", "description": "# 24/7/365 Nouns Instagram @lilnouners\n\n-Marketing all things Nouns via daily Instagram stories emphasizing Nouns successes/net impact: [https://instagram.com/lilnouners](https://instagram.com/lilnouners)\n\n-Posting 1-10 stories per day and 5-10 profile posts & reels per month\n-Tagging core contributors in those stories, adding them as collaborators to profile posts, and accepting collaborator tags to reach partner followings\n-Keeping attuned to media to post on behalf of partners (especially those with outsized followings) and posting first\n-Archiving 1000+ stories per year in a treasure trove of categorized highlights\n\nAsking for $15/hour, 40 hours/week (and three weeks off) as an annual stream\n\nI created the Lil Nouns instagram to educate myself in distributed corporate governance and autonomous equity models.

That idea made me feel the wolf deserved another chance to exist within Nouns as a head trait.\n\nThe question isn\u2019t whether the wolf should belong in Nouns as a head.\n\nThe real question is whether this iteration of the wolf head is good enough to enter the infinite work of art.\n\n![wolbes](https://i.imgur.com/AlWHvXK.png)\n\n\"a wolf doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep\"\n\n![WOLFf](https://i.imgur.com/uo8QoV2.png)\n\nEverynoun should love wolves\n\n![Extinct](https://i.imgur.com/R7gxvE6.png)\n\nThe idea of a wolf Noun isn\u2019t extinct.\n\n[![Trait Image](data:image/png;base64,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 \"https://www.probe.wtf/nouns/dreams/671\")](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns/dreams/671)\n\n### Proposal submitted via probe.wtf\n\n**Nouns Art Contribution Agreement**\n\nSigner: 0x215db99298af65306a4c60bd3b7612d5f60b03d7\n\nMessage: I, the individual controlling Ethereum address 0x215db99298af65306a4c60bd3b7612d5f60b03d7, hereby waive all copyright and all related or neighboring rights, together with any associated claims or causes of action, to the extent permitted by law.

(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.\n\n---\n\n## Introduction\n\nHey! I'm Satori, a long-time contributor within the Nouniverse and one of the current DUNA Compliance Administrators. I\u2019m applying to continue in the role of Reserve Compliance Administrator. \n\nOver 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.\n\nI 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.\n\nThis nomination proposal seeks to continue the work I have been performing during the DAO\u2019s first year as a DUNA. Some of what we accomplished throughout 2025 includes:\n\n- Coordinated legal, tax, and accounting advisors to ensure a smooth transition to DUNA \n- Formed the DUNA\u2019s core infrastructure, including EIN, Wyoming virtual office, treasury wallets, admin multisigs, bank account, etc \n- Implemented KYC, tax documentation, and sanctions screening workflows for grantees and vendors, including W-9 and W-8 collection \n- Established the 2026 DUNA Admin Election process \n\n## Modifications\n\nI 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.\n\n## Closing Statement\n\nI 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.\n\nI\u2019m 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.\n\n***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\u2019m 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.* \n\n---\n\n# DUNA Context and Admin Info\n\nNouns 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:\n\n> \"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.\n\nThe DAO now operates as a legally recognized nonprofit association within the United States. This requires ongoing compliance with:\n\n- U.S. federal tax rules \n- Wyoming state law \n- OFAC and sanctions-related restrictions \n- Record-keeping obligations \n- Information-reporting requirements for grant recipients \n\nThe Compliance Administrator structure exists to ensure that the DAO can confidently and continuously meet these obligations.\n\n## Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities\n\nCompliance 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.\n\n**Proposal and Legal Oversight**\n\n- Review proposals for legal, tax, sanctions, and governance risks \n- Confirm alignment with Bylaws and U.S. law \n- Provide guidance on grant structures and complex proposal flows \n- Engage legal counsel only when needed for liability, sanctions, contracts, or governance interpretation \n\n**Grant and Treasury Compliance**\n\n- Collect and maintain required tax documents before disbursement \n- Administer sanctions checks and verify grantee eligibility \n- Coordinate with accountants and tax advisors on proper categorization and reporting \n- Support accurate crypto or fiat payouts authorized by proposals \n\n**KYC and Contributor Onboarding**\n\n- Manage grantee onboarding and verification through Persona \n- Assist with technical or verification issues \n- Maintain secure compliance records for audits and reporting needs \n\n**Operations and Administration**\n\n- Execute required offchain actions for passed proposals, including agreements and payments \n- Manage compliance documentation and secure storage \n- Oversee offchain assets and infrastructure such as domains and service accounts \n- Coordinate with registered agent and external vendors \n- Ensure administrator actions reflect the intent and scope of passed proposals \n\n**Community Transparency**\n\n- Answer contributor questions about compliance and legal processes \n- Publish updates, resources, and best practices \n- Provide compliance insights to Veto Administrators when needed \n\nThe above work enables smooth operations, reduces legal and tax exposure, and ensures the DAO remains transparent and accountable to its contributors.\n\n---\n\n## Administrator Duties\n\nThe 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.\n\nPer 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:\n\n1. Reviewing each DAO proposal for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the DAO' governing principles. Compliance includes:\n a) Tax compliance and confirming receipt of W9 or W8 tax information for grant recipients prior to disbursement of funds.\n b) OFAC/Sanctions compliance by confirming there is an operational wallet check process.\n c) Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. ensuring no illegal activity is included in a proposal).\n 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.\n 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. \n2. 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. \n3. 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. \n4. 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. \n5. 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. \n\n## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities\n\nDuring 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.\n\nAdditionally, the Compliance Administrators will avoid voting on Nouns DAO proposals in any subdaos or meta-governance during their term. \n\nThe Compliance Administrators may however submit any proposals needed to further the authorized activities noted in this proposal or as needed.\n\n## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing\n\nIn 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.\n\n## Indemnification\n\nThe 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)**.\n\n## Term\n\nThe 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.\n\n## Additional Governing Documents\n\nRelevant 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.\n\n## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement\n\nThe 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.\n\nAdministrators 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.\n\nFollowing 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.\n\n---\n\n### Transactions\n\n- Stream 60,000 USDC to safe.0xsatori.eth from 2/1/2026 through 1/31/2027", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 927, "title": "Retroactive Reimbursement for Third-Party Production Costs (Nouns Activation)", "description": "# Retroactive Reimbursement for Third-Party Production Costs (Nouns Activation)\n\n![image alt](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0585/2590/9078/files/drew_boston_event.gif?v=1739384720)\n\n---\n\n## Summary\n\nThis 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.\n\nThe 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.

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.\n\nThis proposal is narrowly scoped to resolve a **specific, documented external expense** and does not authorize any future work, programs, or commitments.\n\n---\n\n## What was done\n\n- Nouns-branded shirts and signage were produced and delivered for use in a Nouns-related activation. \n- Assets were designed, manufactured, and fulfilled by **Stran Promotional Solutions**. \n- The work was completed and used as intended at the time. \n- An invoice totaling **$6,584.71** remains associated with this production.\n\n---\n\n## Why this is being proposed retroactively\n\nDuring 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\n---\n\n## Amount requested\n\n- **$6,584.71 USDC**\n- Corresponds exactly to **Invoice #546043-1** from Stran Promotional Solutions \n- No markup, no labor fees, no additional compensation\n\n---\n\n## Recipient\n\n- **Drew Hanlen (Noun 1240)** \n *(Funds may be used to reimburse the already-paid invoice or paid directly toward settlement of the outstanding balance.)*\n\n---\n\n## Why this is reasonable\n\n- The request is **modest and specific**. \n- The work was completed and used. \n- The DAO received branding/visibility value at the time. \n- **Problem** did not seek reimbursement for any internal labor, design, or production costs associated with this activation. \n- This resolves a known externality from an otherwise incomplete initiative. \n- No precedent is set for ongoing compensation or future obligations. \n- Drew committed to the Nounish mission with his acquisition of **Noun 1240** in February 2025.\n\n---\n\n## Explicit exclusions\n\nThis proposal does **not**:\n\n- Authorize any future programs or partnerships \n- Compensate for time, influence, access, or advisory services \n- Revive or amend Proposals **751** or **764** \n- Create any ongoing relationship or expectation \n\n---\n\n## Closing\n\nThis is a narrowly scoped retroactive reimbursement to cleanly resolve a documented third-party production expense tied to a Nouns activation.

(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.\n\n**About Bixbite:** Admin Reserve Qualifications (will disclose entities and references upon request):\n\n- 3 years of Paralegal experience within two different law firms \n- Previously held Notary Public License \n- Will commit to retesting within 1 month to achieve active status \n- Experience in business bookkeeping, tracking state nexus & filing business taxes. \n- Experience collecting KYC details for a SOC 2 compliant company. \n- Acting Registered Agent for an LLC since 2014 \n- Acting Registered Agent for an SCORP since 2019 \n\n**Proliferation Impact:** While these are items not related to the duties of the position, I think it\u2019s 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:\n\n- Hack Week Grand Prize New Contributors Winner \n- Selection Committee for Nouns x Everyone \n- Prop House Gardener Selection Winner (100% voting record) \n- Member of Nouncil (I have a 95.36% voting record) \n- Member of Lil Reps & Content Pod before those programs were decommissioned \n- Previous Nouns Delegation (Will Price Delegate) & maintained a 89% voting record & 100% for Prop House rounds. \n- Volunteered to help the Nouns AU crew at NFT Fest Aus \n- Volunteered to help Nouns Fair at ETH Global Waterloo & ETH Global London \n- Volunteered & helped coordinate the Nouns Global Pizza Party at Oshi in Melbourne, AU \n- 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. \n- Onboard 12 people to Lil Nouns which gives them exposure to Nouns \n- Given feedback on numerous props for Nouns onchain proposals, previous Prop House rounds Garden Rounds. \n- Sponsored proposals onchain for Nouns & Lil Nouns \n- 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! \n\nAs 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. \n\n**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. \n\n**Compensation Breakdown** Duna Compliance Admin $29,999 year \n\n---\n\n**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.

The Rally Challenge (Core Mechanism)\n\nAt the center of the activation is a simple, repeatable prompt:\n\n**Show what \u201cDo Good, Have Fun\u201d means to you, here and right now.**\n\nCreators and participants are invited to interpret this in their own voice and medium, including:\n\n- photo \n- video \n- writing \n- mixed media \n- short-form documentation \n\nParticipation is opt-in and flexible.\n\nOnchain publishing is encouraged but not required.\n\nThe Rally Challenge is designed to be:\n\n- accessible to crypto-native and non-crypto-native creators \n- rooted in place and moment \n- easy to explain in a single sentence \n\nThis keeps the activation legible and lowers friction for first-time participants.\n\n![](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)\n\n### 2. The Creator Bus as Totem, Not Destination\n\nThe bus functions as a **recognizable, recurring touchpoint** across ETH Colorado.\n\nIt is intentionally mobile and appears in multiple contexts:\n\n- side events \n- cafes \n- campuses \n- cultural spaces \n- neighborhoods around ETH Boulder and ETH Denver \n\nThe bus signals that something is happening nearby, but it does not replace the environment.\n\nWe do not sit on the bus waiting.\n\nWe move through the city doing what Nounish creators actually do.\n\n![](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)\n\n### 3. Creator Cohort and Onboarding\n\nThe activation is led by a cohort of:\n\n- experienced onchain creators \n- past Rally participants \n- newly onboarded creators encountered during ETH Colorado \n\nThese creators act as:\n\n- facilitators \n- cultural translators \n- first touchpoints into Nouns for new participants \n\nAll contributors are onboarded through a lightweight **Creator Brief** that outlines:\n\n- the Rally prompt \n- how to participate \n- submission guidelines \n- examples from prior activations \n- how work may be featured or amplified \n\n**Creator Brief:**\n\nLink 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)]\n\nThis structure keeps participation clear without over-directing creative output.\n\n---\n\n## What Happens in Practice\n\nAs the bus moves through Boulder and Denver:\n\n- creators engage people in real conversation \n- Nounish gear is distributed as an entry point \n- participants are invited into the Rally \n- work is documented organically in real time \n\nThe activation also intentionally supports **Nounish-aligned side events** and community moments throughout ETH Colorado, including:\n\n- [Lil Nouns Coffee Rave](https://luma.com/mwrynwc1?tk=k5sN57) \n- [VibeCheck 4](https://luma.com/wgl394lf) \n- creator-led meetups and cultural side events \n- additional gatherings where Onchain Creators has been invited to participate or collaborate \n\nThe Creator Bus allows Nouns to show up **in support of existing community energy**, not in competition with it.\n\nThe focus is on meaningful connection and cultural alignment.\n\n---\n\n## Art Direction and Nounish Presence\n\nAll IRL and digital imagery associated with the Nouns Creator Bus will feature **Nounish artwork**.\n\nThis includes:\n\n- visual treatments on the bus \n- signage and printed materials \n- digital assets used in documentation and recaps \n\nArtwork will be created by:\n\n- [Nadie Cito \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8](https://www.instagram.com/non_artist) aka the Nounish Resident artist \n- [Camilita](https://farcaster.xyz/camilita), a Nounish Colombian artist \n\nThe intention is not branding for branding\u2019s sake, but cultural continuity.\n\nThe activation should feel unmistakably Nounish without becoming an advertisement.\n\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A8a1977b5-eb08-4d13-bf24-5959351d019e%3Aimage11.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-8066-a745-c00beaaeecc7&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n## Merch as Onboarding, Not Giveaway\n\nThe bus also serves as a **mobile Nouns merch touchpoint**, including:\n\n- Noggles \n- Nounish Friends and related gear \n\nMerch is not the core of the activation, but it plays an important role:\n\n- starting conversations \n- creating moments of delight \n- giving participants a tangible memory tied to the experience \n\nMerch distribution is documented as part of the Rally, turning simple exchanges into cultural moments.\n\n---\n\n## Transportation (Supportive, Not Primary)\n\nTransportation is a supporting function, not the purpose.\n\nWhen helpful, the bus allows the core creator group to:\n\n- move together between locations \n- reduce logistical friction \n- maintain momentum throughout the day \n\nThis improves collaboration, lowers stress, and creates better conditions for creative work. It is not positioned as a public shuttle or transit service.\n\n---\n\n## Ecosystem Leverage Through OnchainCreators\n\nIn partnership with **OnchainCreators**, this activation benefits from existing ecosystem relationships.\n\nDuring ETH Colorado:\n\n- OnchainCreators are official stewards of the **Creativity Track at ETH Boulder** \n- the Nouns Creator Bus operates alongside partnerships with [Base](https://x.com/base) and [Refraction](https://x.com/refraction_irl) during ETH Denver \n- Nouns is brought into creator-forward spaces where Onchain Creators has already been invited to participate \n\nThese relationships extend Nouns into communities and conversations that already trust the Onchain Creators ecosystem, without requiring additional sponsorship or access negotiations.\n\n---\n\n## Proven Impact (Contextual, Not Primary)\n\nThis model builds on prior Onchain Creator Rally activations, including **Devconnect Buenos Aires**, where cultural participation led to meaningful downstream engagement.\n\nOne concrete example:\n\n[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.\n\nThis demonstrates a key point:\n\n- this format does more than generate social content \n- it converts cultural participation into long-term alignment \n- it has direct impact on Nouns adoption and the treasury \n\nThis context informs the design of the Colorado activation, but the Nouns Creator Bus stands on its own as a forward-looking pilot.\n\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A0a88ab98-97ad-4a77-a66c-a8684a3a0ee2%3AScreenshot_2026-01-15_at_1.16.13_PM.png?table=block&id=2e9cd830-bd35-80e3-a4d6-c6a23fa25f98&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\nThis conversion story also includes me.\n\nI\u2019m Zenshortz.eth ([Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/davehv/) / [X](https://x.com/zenshortz) / [Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/zenshortz)), and I\u2019m an example of what happens when this model works the way it\u2019s supposed to.\n\nI came into deeper Nouns participation through the OnchainCreators ecosystem, saw the vision clearly during ETHDenver last year, and that belief turned into action:\n\n- staying involved \n- helping produce OnchainCreators activations in New York and Buenos Aires \n- joining Nouns calls and spaces more consistently \n- moving from observer to participant \n- eventually buying a Lil Noun and now being delegated a full Noun \n\nThis is why I believe the Nouns Creator Bus will work in Colorado.\n\nI\u2019ve lived the funnel from culture \u2192 participation \u2192 ownership, and we\u2019ve seen it repeat across multiple creators.\n\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A195593fa-5c9e-41f2-9f59-3eddce0965fd%3Aimage.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-80d1-8dc6-cc69250eeafc&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=640&userId=&cache=v2)\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3Af073d768-294a-415a-88d6-868fa29fb0c4%3Aimage.png?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-80bf-bd9e-e1c3d99f2268&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=640&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n## About the Proposer\n\nThis 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)**.\n\nI\u2019m 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.\n\nMy 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.\n\nIt wasn\u2019t until joining **OnchainCreators** that I felt a clear sense of agency within the Nouns ecosystem itself.\n\nHelping 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.\n\nThis 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.\n\nMy conviction in this model is grounded both in:\n\n- having produced creator-driven activations across multiple ecosystems \n- having personally experienced how OnchainCreators can onboard creators into Nouns in a meaningful, lasting way \n\n**Relevant Nounish + OnchainCreator activations / Projects I have produced or supported :**\n\nOnchain Creators Rally Buenos Aires - [[https://www.instagram.com/p/DSvKmbakS6P/]](https://www.instagram.com/p/DSvKmbakS6P/])\n\nA Lil Photo Walk @ ETHCC Brussels - [https://x.com/PublicGoodsClub/status/1811767906939576373?s=20](https://x.com/PublicGoodsClub/status/1811767906939576373?s=20)\n\nWesh Zine - [https://drive.google.com/file/d/17D2AkqFIMSAlyyEmzNPgk2Jqd7_6RUTD/view?](https://drive.google.com/file/d/17D2AkqFIMSAlyyEmzNPgk2Jqd7_6RUTD/view?usp=sharing)\n\n**Additional creative producing examples:**\n\n4th Rope Wrestling - [https://www.4thrope.com/](https://www.4thrope.com/) + [https://www.youtube.com/@4thRope](https://www.youtube.com/@4thRope) \n\nHappy Munkey - [https://happymunkey.com/](https://happymunkey.com/) + [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNq814TajFk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNq814TajFk)\n\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A26d51b09-3ceb-4634-a690-bf34700a9f9b%3A2026-01-14_21.41.58.jpg?table=block&id=2f8cd830-bd35-808a-9563-edef534f414d&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)\n\n## Budget\n\n**Total Request: 14,500 USDC**\n\n**Payout:**\n\nThis budget covers the full execution of the **Nouns Creator Bus** across ETH Boulder and ETH Denver as a two-week, mobile cultural activation.\n\nFunds are allocated toward **real-world execution, creator participation, and documentation!** \n\n---\n\n### What This Covers\n\n### Production & Logistics\n\n- Vehicle rental \n- Fuel, tolls, and parking \n- Insurance \n- Daily movement and presence across Boulder and Denver \n\n### Visual Treatment & Materials\n\n- Rally graphics and on-bus visuals \n- misc printed materials \n- Vinyl install and removal \n\n### Artist Commission\n\n- Commission for [Nadie Cito \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8](https://www.instagram.com/non_artist) & [Camilita](https://farcaster.xyz/camilita) to produce Nounish Rally graphics, including Creator Bus vinyls and visual assets \n\n### Creator Activation\n\n- Creator content activation across ETH Boulder and ETH Denver \n- Onchain Creator Rally coordination \n- Incentives and rewards for top Creator Rally submissions \n\n### Merch & Gear Distribution\n\n- Shipping of Nounish gear and giveaways \n- Merch distribution in collaboration with **Bigshot Klim** \n- IRL onboarding touchpoints tied to Rally participation \n\n### Documentation & Recap\n\n- Ongoing documentation during the activation \n- Editing and production of recap content \n- Assets for post-event sharing and archival \n\n---\n\n## Closing\n\nThe Nouns Creator Bus is not marketing for marketing\u2019s sake.\nIt is a commitment to showing up.\n\nIt centers people over impressions, participation over promotion, and culture over noise.\n\nThis activation introduces Nouns in the way it actually works best:\nnot as a logo, not as a message, but as a lived experience.\n\nBy 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.\n\nThe bus is the recognizable totem.\nThe creators are the activation.\nThe Rally Challenge is the core.\n\nThis is how Nouns grows!\nThrough presence, trust, and shared experience in the real world. \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A86910892-8646-42a4-a4eb-4f6a34536d10%3A2026-01-14_21.55.05.jpg?table=block&id=2e9cd830-bd35-8041-a7ac-d6edbf9aeca7&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 930, "title": "Public Nouns Sculpture at Noyo Gimbal View (Indonesia)", "description": "# Public Nouns Sculpture at Noyo Gimbal View (Indonesia)\n\nFirst of all, I sincerely apologize for the mistake in the previous proposal.

Our Method: Breaking \"Boundaries\" through Origami Art\n\nTo 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.\n\n**The Impact of Our Method:**\n\n- **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. \n- **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.\" \n\nWe 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.\"**\n\n![\uff11Untitled-design 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByC9-LVr-g.jpg)\n\nArticle of Newspaper [https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168](https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168)\n\n# 3. The Origin: A Challenge Born from a Small Studio\n\nThis 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.\n\nEven 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.\n\n# 4. Our Team: Multinational Solidarity Bound by \"Aspiration\"\n\nThis 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.\n\n- A translator in Kansai who supports us because we are not fluent in English. \n- Friends in the US, France, and Costa Rica who gather under the motto: \"Let's share the same dream.\" \n\nOur teammates are more than \"helpers\"; they are core members who find joy in the act of co-creation. This multinational solidarity \u2014 transcending language, borders, and physical distance \u2014 is the very essence of what it means to be \"Nounish.\"\n\n# \uff15. Detailed Mission Budget (USDC)\n\nTo execute these large-scale international exhibitions and direct on-site workshops, we require the following operational budget (1 USD = 156.38 JPY).\n\n- **Team Contribution:** We will allocate **0.4 stETH (approx. 1,300 USDC)** \u2014 a portion of the 1.03 stETH retro-grant received from [LilNouns](https://lilnouns.camp/proposals/352) for our previous mural production \u2014 directly into this project's budget. This demonstrates our commitment to maximizing the impact of this mission through reinvestment. \n\n## Phase 1: NYC & UN Exhibition Activation (26,181 USDC)\n\n| Item | Details | Amount (USDC) |\n| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- |\n| Global Mobilization | Specialized team deployment from Japan to NYC (3 members) | 4,220 |\n| On-site Activation Base | 11-day field operations, coordination, and installation residency | 4,923 |\n| Intl.

Conclusion: Turning Isolation into Pride\n\nThrough 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.\n\n![IMG_9033 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyT3xI4rWl.jpg)\n\n**\"Doing what we can, with those we trust.\" Join us in dissolving the borders of the world.**\n\n![IMG_7921-2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkLnS_vrWx.jpg)\n![IMG_9197](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJKQbZpr-l.jpg)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 932, "title": "Reduce Minimum Quorum from 10% to 7%", "description": "# Reduce Minimum Quorum from 10% to 7%\n\nthis proposal reduces the minimum quorum from 10% to 7%,\nor from ~127 For votes to ~89 For votes.\n\nthis does not affect the Dynamic Quorum coefficient.\n\nwith 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.\n\nreducing 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.\n\n---\nsubmitted on behalf of the Strategic Proposals Working Group", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 933, "title": "\ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Castle Head", "description": "# \ud83c\udfa8 Noundry: Add Castle Head\n\n*submitted via [Noundry Gallery](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/69862f428383700d259813f4)*\n\n## Summary\n\nThis proposal adds a new **head** trait: Castle\n\nHello everyone, \n\nThis trait is a collaboration between myself, FattyButHappy, and Nadie.\n\n![castle final example](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWZ8q6HoT3N63AVs8MbXCUMu1mBfJwicFgd2SQAwHM6V4/final-castle-1.png)\n\nIt started as a re-coloring of sandcastle by Fatty. Changing it from the tan sand color, to a grey castle color:\n\n![OG-Castle](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXPgm7EZzZLjJvNMqSUWDQ9zyPUr6W6VnbvK2F9tREMaa/00.png)\n\nI 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): \n\n![castle-remix-1](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb3jEvtPr12tj1TiKVZkkGWmttjTAcdbq5Smy9Ggpek1m/1-sandcastle-to-castle.png)\n\nNadie saw the potential in this trait and fixed the battlement, giving the outside that classic castle overhang at the top: \n\n![remix-3-the-magic](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrzvy65P5tJFAhFghejzGFyj9Kqe555puZTiP6VXhrbj/magic.png)\n\nWe then went back and forth for weeks (months?) with remixes (there must be at least 17 previous versions -- some deleted now):\n\n![all-castles](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXEZA1BtUKsBdQHq14ctBcepZ5kgnK6mYyL4wyaaSfBGP/0-all-castles.png)\n\nI really liked Nadie's v6 of the head and I decided to dive back in and adjust a few elements.. \n\nMost 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.\n\n![final remix](https://images.hive.blog/DQmR4ohyhwVkNVoTXhu9Sbg3voXxotNAmZbPMujayt8aA8X/Screenshot%202026-02-07%20at%201.15.26%E2%80%AFPM.png)\n\nI think

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.\n\nThe plot follows Michael, a young man who has his yellow cap stolen on his way home from school.

I have been an artist my entire life working across painting, hand drawings, sculpture, woodwork, leather craft, and digital illustration.\n\nOver 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.\n\nThe Nounish universe deeply inspired me.

I\u2019ve 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 \u2014 it has allowed me to grow as an artist and as a participant in this ecosystem.\n\nOver 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 \u2014 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nI\u2019m excited to continue growing within the community and outwardly \u2014 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\u2019m asking for the stability to continue doing this work with focus, consistency, and the creative freedom to respond wherever the community needs me.\n\nI\u2019m currently building a small website that will function as a living \u201cNouns Residency Portfolio\u201d \u2014 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.\n\nI\u2019m still figuring out the technical side \u2014 this is actually my first time seriously building something like this \u2014 but I\u2019m committed to making it happen because I believe the DAO deserves a clear, accessible visual archive of the work produced through this engagement.\n\nI\u2019ll share progress as it develops.\n\n### Budget\n\n4.8 ETH for six months of dedicated artistic contribution.\n\n![nadie](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJNrsL3_-l.png)\n\n###### \n\n> ilustration by [Bichoraro](https://farcaster.xyz/bichorarodraws)", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 943, "title": "test", "description": "# test\n\ning\n\n![](https://scontent-iad4-1.choicecdn.com/-/rs:fill:2000:3046/g:ce/f:webp/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWdpYy5kZWNlbnRyYWxpemVkLWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2lwZnMvYmFmeWJlaWVrdnU3YnZkdmtoYjQ2cmhpcXdpNGFla2l2MmVxZWk3NHRxaHdhdHlmN3dlNnY0M2FzbHE)", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 944, "title": "Daily Nounish Doodle", "description": "# Daily Nounish Doodle\n\nI'd like to propose a three-month daily art project for Nouns.\nEvery day I will create 1 nounish doodle artwork (1080x1080px) in an abstract, random, hand drawn style. \nEach artwork will always include a variety of \"noggles\" elements as a visual signature.\n\nWhat I will do :\n1 original doodle every day\nFor 90 days (3 months)\nStyle : abstract, random, nounish\nFormat : 1080x1080px\nAlways includes a \u201cnoggles\u201d detail\nCC0 (public domain)\nWith total of 90 artworks\nDaily 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. \n\nGoal :\nTo contribute to Nouns culture through consistent daily visual creation, creating CC0 cultural assets open to everyone to use, remix, and share.\n\nArtwork Preview :\n\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJqU63JYZx.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1Bqf8sdbe.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByScGLj_be.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyrcMIiuZg.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkrcz8ju-e.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJBqMUoObx.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1SqzIidZe.jpg)\n![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H15863yt-x.jpg)", "category": "Art & Traits", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 945, "title": "Supporting 364+ days of new daily Nouns art", "description": "# Supporting 364+ days of new daily Nouns art\n\nProposal: Supporting 365+ More Days of Daily Nouns Art\\*\\*\n\n**.

I have been an artist my entire life working across painting, hand drawings, sculpture, woodwork, leather craft, and digital illustration.\n\nOver 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.\n\nThe Nounish universe deeply inspired me. Since then, I have created a **Nounish art piece every day for over a year**.\nI 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)\n\nThis daily Nouns art practice has made me not only a more consistent artist but also a happier and more fulfilled person.\n\n **The Opportunity**\n\nDespite producing daily work, I currently create **entirely on my phone using my fingers**.

The Mission: -Kid's Dream Relay- US and TOKYO TOWER and France 2026\n\nOur 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:\n\n1. **Primary School for the Arts(US)**:We will coordinate the creation of artworks from students at a Primary School for the Arts based in the United States and arrange them according to our ORIGAMI MOSAIC Art format. We will then transport these works and showcase the finished artwork, exhibiting them at events in both Japan and France. \n \n ![\u540d\u79f0\u672a\u8a2d\u5b9a-1](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BkzXrJ6O-e.png) \n2. **TOKYO TOWER(JAPAN):** A large-scale exhibition to prove that Nouns is a symbol of global peace, inclusivity, and the power of individual voices. \n \n ![IMG_0243](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ry2FBiiOZe.jpg) \n3. **Poitiers University (France):** Collaborative workshops in European University and [gallery](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gjURVpoSQrXpMKY88?g_st=ipc) communities, expanding our circle of co-creation across the continent. \n \n ![B609DD80-2876-49C8-A274-7166A662D3C8](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r16jHsiOZx.jpg) \n\nIsolation and chronic loneliness do not affect only individuals; it has become clear that they also have a significant impact on society as a whole \u2014 including its creativity, its capacity for empathy, and its long-term sustainability.\n\n![France 2](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BksPA0XuZx.jpg)\n\n#### We conducted the quetionnaire about our project on instagram\n\nEach quetionnaires is following\n\u2460Why did you support our project?\n\u2461What do you expect from us next?\n\u2462Where would you like to see Origami Workshop next?\n\n[Here the survey](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVIFLoUkios/?igsh=MW56M28xYjk3eThlcA%3D%3D&img_index=3)\n\n![IMG_0373](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sketg4yT_Zl.png)\n\n# 2. Our Method: Breaking \"Boundaries\" through Origami Art\n\nTo 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.\n\n**The Impact of Our Method:**\n\n- **US Kids:** By exhibiting artworks created by children in the United States in Japan and France, we can offer them a powerful experience\u2014realizing that \u201cour drawings can connect us with friends around the world.\u201d \n- **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. \n- **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.\" \n\nBy linking this symbolic act with structured participation by connecting youth in the United States and Japan through a cross-cultural exhibition of artwork, we facilitate replicable cultural activation: measurable in participation, visible in output, and enduring in impact. Awareness becomes action. Action becomes culture. This culture becomes future possibility.\n\nWe want to tell these children: **\"No matter where you are or what your condition is, you can connect with the world, you will always have a friend and you are never alone.\u201d** By bringing together each child\u2019s individual artwork and exhibiting them as a large-scale mosaic that transcends national borders, we create an experience that connects the \u201cindividual\u201d and \u201csociety.\u201d\n\nThis initiative establishes a replicable model of social participation support through artistic practice.\n\n![Untitled design - 3](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1m92JmO-x.jpg)\n\nArticle of Newspaper [https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168](https://news.at-s.com/article/1811168)\n\n# 3. Target Participants\n\n- Children receiving medical care (including those who are long-term hospitalized) \n- Children with disabilities \n- Children who are particularly vulnerable to social isolation \n- Elementary and middle school students in Japan and abroad \n- Expected number of participants: Total 4,535 (Domestic: 4,000 / International: 535) \n\n*For details regarding our past activities and upcoming plans, please refer to the materials below.* [Here the Details](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R0ImhdyLBCGVr4Am889_NQAQ6UCkL1yH6_KcBDnJmew/edit?usp=sharing) \n\n# 4. The Origin: A Challenge Born from a Small Studio\n\nThis 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 create meaningful encounters and share experiences across borders.** \n\nEven 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 many artists and institutions in Japan and across the ocean. Each child participates not as observer, but as co-creator. Each exchange bridges distance\u2014across cultures, across neurotypes, across oceans\u2014turning representation into relationship. The \"Origami Art\" that started in a local studio has now grown into this miraculous opportunity to exhibit at the TOKYO TOWER in Japan.\n\n# 5. Tokyo Tower x World Autism Awareness Day: A Message of Empathy, Solidarity, and Hope\n\n![IMG_0200](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ryPtQy6uZg.png)\n\nOn World Autism Awareness Day, Tokyo Tower\u2014one of Japan\u2019s most iconic landmarks\u2014will be illuminated in blue.\nThis blue light is a symbol of a global message of inclusion.\n\nWe believe this symbolic illumination should not remain something to simply observe. Instead, we aim to transform it into an opportunity for connection and participation. From light to dialogue, from dialogue to meaningful relationships\u2014we want to create a living cycle of engagement.\n\nThe blue glow is not merely a visual gesture.\nIt is an invitation: to reflect together, to create together.\n\nOur exhibition has long served as a platform for social awareness. Through this initiative, we take a further step forward. We seek to deepen respect for diversity and empower young people to imagine\u2014and actively shape\u2014a future grounded in mutual understanding, coexistence, and empathy.\n\nEach artwork becomes a point of connection.\nEach child becomes a starting point.\n\nThrough exchange, distances shrink\u2014across cultures, neurotypes, and oceans. Through the works created by children, symbolic light transforms into dialogue rooted in human relationships.\n\nGrounded in the philosophy of Nouns and Nounish\u2014collective creativity, open participation, and public good\u2014we aim to foster a visible and lasting affirmation of neurodiversity.\n\nWe want young people to experience coexistence not as an abstract ideal, but as participatory design.\nTo recognize neurodiversity not as deviation, but as a natural part of our shared humanity.\nTo understand inclusion not as something to observe, but as something to practice, share, and build together.\n\nTogether, we strive to cultivate a shared human space where inclusion is lived, and diversity is embraced.\n\n# 6. Our Team: Multinational Solidarity Bound by \"Aspiration\"\n\nThis 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.\n\n- A translator in Kansai who supports us because we are not fluent in English. \n- Friends in the US, France, and Costa Rica who gather under the motto: \"Let's share the same dream.\" \n\nOur teammates are more than \"helpers\"; they are core members who find joy in the act of co-creation. This multinational solidarity \u2014 transcending language, borders, and physical distance \u2014 is the very essence of what it means to be \"Nounish.\"\n\n# 7. Detailed Mission Budget (USDC)\n\nTo execute these large-scale international exhibitions and direct on-site workshops, we require the following operational budget (1 USD = 154.78 JPY).\n\n**Team Contribution:**\n\n- We will allocate **0.4 stETH** \u2014 a portion of the 1.03 stETH retro-grant received from [LilNouns](https://lilnouns.camp/proposals/352) for our previous mural production \u2014 directly into this project's budget. This demonstrates our commitment to maximizing the impact of this mission through reinvestment. \n- We will also allocate the \u00a5100,000 (approx 646 USD) that has been raised through our independently operated fundraising platform. \n\n## Phase 1: Tokyo Tower Exhibition Activation (22,469 USDC)\n\n| Item | Details | Amount (USDC) |\n| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------- |\n| Intl.

My work combines artistic exploration with community engagement, producing pieces that resonate with the culture and reflect the spirit of Nouns.\n\nThis is a revised version of [Prop 942](https://nouns.wtf/vote/942), updated \nAlso check propdate on [#840](https://propdates.nouns.wtf/prop/840)\n\n## Proposal\n\nThe 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 \u2014 it has allowed me to grow as an artist and as a participant in this ecosystem.\n\nOver 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 \u2014 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.\n\nWhen 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.\n\nThe 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.\n\nI'm excited to continue growing within the community and outwardly \u2014 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.\n\n## Commitments\n\n**Monthly artworks** \u2014 Each month I will publish a documented set of illustrations and GIFs: nounish characters, lore pieces, memes, and community-responsive work.

I summarized learnings and opportunities for Nouns in this essay: [Nouns in 2026 and beyond](https://paragraph.com/@benjamin/nouns-2026-and-beyond).\n\nApart from that, I hosted coffee tasting events for my micro-cold-brew-coffee brand in 2018 and 2019 with Lacoste, Hugo Boss and other fashion retailers in Germany. All to say that this is trialed and tested:\n\n**Coffee works.**\n\nTo bring people together.\n\nTo connect.\n\nTo make people stay.\n\nWe're creating a space for people to meet and connect, discuss, align on topics that are better discussed with face time instead of FaceTime.\n\nThe Pop-Up will offer to be the recurring and trusted meeting point, always very well located: in close proximity to the venue's main entrance, good to spot, always serving the best coffee beverages and the city's best pastries, sandwiches and apples.\n\nAnd, always with something fun happening.\n\nThe Pop-Up can either be a stand alone Nouns Coffee activation, a stunt as mentioned below or Nouns Coffee paired with some version of the following concepts:\n\n- ...\n\n- Art Stunts\n\n- Public Screening of Nouns Animations, Films, Clips\n\n- Field Trips\n\n- Giant Picnic Happenings\n\n- Skateboarding is Golf\n\n- Goat Yoga\n\n- Un-ice the frozen Noun!

Partner Acquisition for Yield Streaming\n\n2. Nouner (member) Retention\n\n3. Drive UGC that isn't a (incredibly boring and staged) conference photo or clip\n\n*------------------*\n\n**How does the concept cater to these goals?**\n\n1. **Nouns Coffee Pop-Up:** Coffee is the universal attractor and connector for people to come and stay.\n\n2. **The Stunts** are for creating new or reinstating existing memory structures about Nouns -> Drive brand love and desire\n\n3. **Real UGC where people made memories** by creating experiences that offer opportunities for media series outside of the (incredibly boring) traditional conference photos and clips.\n\n*------------------*\n\n# Deliverables\n\n1. **6-8 pop-up stunts in Europe within 2 years;** 3-4 annual pop-up happenings at relevant industry events/conferences across Europe in 2026+2027\n\n2. **Book of Nouns;** from concept-to-consumer production and distribution to Nouns' IRL venues across the globe.\n\n3. A themed media documentary from each happening\n\n*------------------*\n\n# Budget\n\n**Total budget ask: 80k USDC + 1 Noun (as give-away for Frozen Noun Art Stunt)**\n\n2/3 Multisig: indexcard.eth, sign.0xsatori.eth, benjamin.latsko.eth\n\n0xEAd202A70cA83B5150b0d04bEFb2859EE97A81B2\n\nHere are the budget categories:\n\n1. **Nouns Coffee Pop Up (40k USDC)**\n\n - Coffee Machine\n\n - ...\n\n - Watertank\n\n - Ecoflow batteries\n\n - ...\n\n - Iconic vehicle for permissionless Nouns Coffee Pop Up across Europe. Not a foodtruck!\n\n - ...\n\n - **Whatever it takes to make a permissionless Nouns Coffee pop up happen**\n\n2. **Marketing Working Budget for Stunts (20k USDC)**\n\n - \"Book of Nouns\" production\n\n - Art Stunts\n\n - Field Trips\n\n - Goat Yoga\n\n - ...\n\n - Giant Picnic Happenings\n\n - Skateboarding is Golf\n\n - ...\n\n**3. Compensation (20k USDC)** for myself to work on:\n\n - Branding\n\n - Website, Marketing Materials\n\n - Develop Partner Integration Concepts for the Events\n\n - A version of \"The Book of Nouns\" which will also be placed with teams that have physical locations.\n\n - ...\n\n - **Whatever it takes to make this proposal happen**\n\n*------------------*\n\n## How does the budget work to cover 3-4 annual pop-ups?\n\nThe proposed budget let's me get the main setup to run these events and work on a longterm plan with other sponsors. And, also work on more things that benefit other proposers, like the Book of Nouns - which I will make sure to get into the hands of project leads who run permanent Nouns installations, e.g. Nouns Coffee LA, Art City, HOPE Outdoor Gallery and many more.\n\nI will work with other sponsoring partners to contribute budget for more stunts and any other expenses like artist compensations, media production, travel expenses, compensate myself, etc.\n\n*------------------*\n\n# Considerations\n\n1. Given my geographical location, I will focus on a strong presence on Europe. While it was exciting to being trusted and enabled by you to produce events across LA, NYC and BA, my focus in 2026+2027 will be more on Europe.\n\n **Why not NAM?** Something worth mentioning is that I organized all events with Nouns from Europe for the US. With the implication that it's spanning across multiple timezones which causes a not insignificant extra workload and obviously: travel commitment.\n\n That said, efficiency wise, I think it makes most sense for me to build out our presence in Europe and craft pop-up concepts that can travel and scale easier to other continents and cities further away. I will also use some of the events in Europe to test pop-up stunts that are independent of a (specific) vehicle to validate concepts that can scale across continents with low friction and budget commitments. Always iterating \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n However(!), depending on demand from the community and additional sponsoring partners, there might also be the opportunity to activate in more parts of the world.\n\n2. Apart from the pop up happenings at events listed below, you can expect a steady flow of content series coming with coastal, surf, skateboarding, golf, artsy and padel energy.\n\n*------------------*\n\n## Events\n\nHere's a shortlist of relevant events I'm considering.

As students learn, experiment, and develop their artistic identity, merch becomes a channel to materialize and share that work with the community.\n\nAt the same time, content creation becomes a core layer of the program for community engagement, where selected scholars act as creator ambassadors, documenting and sharing the journey of the school.\n\n![](https://wrpcd.net/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/1ff032e4-fcc8-4fa9-65eb-d9a99ceb2200/rectcontain3 \"Student process\")\n\n## Scholar Creators: Content as Culture & Distribution\n\nWe introduce a Scholar Creators Program, where selected students and team members generate content around the school\u2019s process and impact.\n\n**Content includes:** \ud83c\udf0d\ud83c\udfa8\ud83c\udfa8\ud83d\udcf9IRL studio videos (classes, workshops, behind the scenes) \ud83c\udf0d\ud83c\udfa8\ud83c\udfa8 Vlogs documenting the journey of becoming an artist \ud83c\udf0d\ud83c\udfa8 Process content (from idea \u2192 creation \u2192 final piece) \ud83c\udf0d Event coverage and community activations\n\n Educational snippets about art, Nouns, and Web3\n\n**Goals:**\n\n- Build inspiring narratives around emerging artists \n- Increase visibility of Nounish Art School and Nouns \n- Support merch distribution through storytelling \n- Position the school as a living creative ecosystem \n\n![](https://solstice-gem-bf3.notion.site/image/attachment%3A4bf54eb1-7c2f-47e0-a31e-686913da57b9%3ACopia_de_HORARIO_NOUNS_2024_(7).png?table=block&id=344e50ff-9855-80cf-9b43-e103f6a23598&spaceId=86ae50ff-9855-81a1-9478-00036a8d0a58&width=1410&userId=&cache=v2 \"Nounish Art School merchandising sells\")\n\n### Merch as an Extension of the School\n\n Our approach to merchandising is directly connected to the educational process: Designs are created by artists within the program Students transition from learning to producing real-world creative outputs Merch becomes a tangible result of the school\u2019s artistic development\n\nThis ensures that merchandising is not an external effort, but a continuation of the learning journey.\n\n**Validation Through Practice**\n\nIn our previous proposal with Nouns Amigos, we introduced merch as part of our ecosystem and activated it through events, workshops, and community spaces.\n\nThe result was a sold-out first batch of **122 pieces**, confirming strong alignment between our creative output and community interest.\n\n### 2026 Strategy: Scaling What\u2019s Already Aligned\n\nFor 2026, we aim to expand this model by:\n\n- Developing new collections designed by program artists \n- Compensating creators for their contributions \n- Strengthening content and storytelling to support distribution \n- Expanding presence through events, community activations, and digital channels \n\n## Sales Channels\n\n- **Nounish Concept Store** (existing, zero cost) \n- **Local fairs & partnerships** (Trujillo and Lima) \n- **Marketplace platforms and social media** (primarily Instagram) \n\n![](https://solstice-gem-bf3.notion.site/image/attachment%3A14d0f791-28e0-43c6-851b-82a35f5126ae%3Aimage.png?table=block&id=344e50ff-9855-802c-9feb-d831635f8124&spaceId=86ae50ff-9855-81a1-9478-00036a8d0a58&width=1190&userId=&cache=v2 \"Nounish Art School Merchandising-first batch\")\n\nStrategic Positioning\n\nMerchandising is not a separate revenue stream\u2014it is a **creative output of the school** and a bridge between education, culture, and sustainability. \n\n## 4.

One consideration during the re-formation was the possibility of the DUNA legal entity receiving 501c3 charitable designation, or a fiscal sponsor for the DAO.\n\nPursuit of both pathways has not proven fruitful.\n\nThe topic of Nouns having some sort of 501c3 has been recurring for many months; members have been exploring the topic and [potential structures.](https://berryos.wtf/camp/proposal/918) The DAO recently hosted Jason Schwartz, [the Crypto Tax Guy,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/cryptotaxguy/) on the weekly X space to discuss the topic with members and answer their [questions.](https://forms.gle/uPvL46Fm8dTYsfXs8)\n\n---\n\nJason has made an offer for Nouns to participate at no cost in his firm's 501Foundry program.\n\n501Foundry is a pro bono program that incorporates, advises, and obtains tax-exemption for charitable and other nonprofit organizations. \n\nJason is widely considered one of the most esteemed tax lawyers in the digital assets space, and has earned recognition from both Chambers USA and Legal 500 US for his exceptional legal counsel.\n\nUnder Jason\u2019s ten-plus years of oversight, 501Foundry has helped hundreds of charitable organizations obtain tax exempt status.\n\n---\n\n## The Value\n\nNouns DAO has a strong precedent for participating in charitable grantmaking:\n- [Proposal #1](https://www.nouns.game/proposals/1)\n- [Nouns Fund Education: Rebuild a Ugandan village Community School into a Nouns School](https://berryos.wtf/camp/proposal/477)\n- [Free Glasses for Kids](https://www.nouns.game/proposals/12)\n- [DAO Governance Research at University of Oregon\u2019s Intelligent Futures Lab](https://berryos.wtf/camp/proposal/861)\n- [Nouns Shelter](https://berryos.wtf/camp/proposal/462)\n\nKrel & the Camp team's [Nouns Grants](https://www.nouns.camp/topics/launching-nouns-grants-a86882277e69fbf0a51805cdc8b0a3a113079e63) initiative drew dozens of $10k grant candidate submissions that were of a charitable nature. \n\nA structure that allows Nouns to participate in charitable capital allocation powered by tax-advantaged donations could enable the Nouns governance experiment to continue more sustainably than through auction revenue alone.\n\nOne option is to create a separate sister 501c3 organization from the DUNA, with it's own onchain treasury, operations, and an independent board of directors made up of at least 3 people\n\n---\n\n## The Problem & Solutions\n\nThere is some precedent for this type of setup.\n\nBig Green DAO operates under the Big Green 501c3 as a grants advisory body using similar governance mechanisms as Nouns. \nTheir [Light Paper](https://drive.google.com/file/d/139fWDvlKTip8P8q9DPvN1MYoqNeExHUv/view?usp=sharing) explains their legal structure and operarting procedures.\n\nHowever, operating within a 501c3 as Big Green does is much different from operating seperately alongside another org, as would be the case for Nouns. \n\nScoping the structures & agreements needed in place between the DUNA and a new 501c3 to maintain the 501c3 board's ability to meet their fiduciary duties + duties of loyalty & care will be a process requiring a fair amount of research and consideration to fit the opportunites and constraints created by this structure and the DAO's governance activities.\n\n### Solutions\n\nwylin is a member of the DAO, Nouns [570](https://berryos.wtf/probe/570) & [1669](https://berryos.wtf/probe/1669), and the founder of [Wylie Advisory](https://wylieadvisory.com/about).\n\nwylin is a corporate governance and operations partner for nonprofits and private foundations. From formation to board development to ongoing management, I build the infrastructure so organizations can focus on their mission.\n\nAs some may know, I participated in the research effort that resulted in Nouns transitioning to a DUNA.\n\nGiven I was a champion for the DUNA + 501c3 at the time, I'd like to use the opportunity offered by the Crypto Tax Guy - who is optimistic that it is possible to do - to pursue the idea and see if it passable idea for the DAO.\n\n---\n\nPrevious work by wylin on Nouns x 501c3 includes:\n- 12 months of DUNA x Nouns x 501c3 research, coordination, and contract negotiation from March 2024 - March 2025\n- An [educational presentation on 501c3 & fiscal sponsorship](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AWXPPB0pYChYvGL3qZ4oFNwsoYIwVRdQ/view?usp=sharing) shared at Nouns Town 2024, on Nouncil calls, & Nouns Amigos calls.\n- DUNA formation & 501c3 meetings + presentations with the Nouns Caymans Foundation's former members & advisors, Endaoment, and DAO members with large votes.\n\n---\n\n## The Request\n\nThis proposal requests:\n- 3 Nouns + 2 WETH for wylin.eth to lead the engagement with the 501Foundry program on behalf of the DAO.\n\nThe scope of the engagement is to perform a study that clarifies what a legal and compliant operating structure between Nouns the DUNA & DAO, and Nouns the 501c3 could look like that would allow the DAO to make grant recommendations to the 501c3 for charitable purposes, and create a proposal if it is found to be viable.\n\n## Deliverables\n\nTarget 3 months, no more than 6 months, with monthly propdates.\n\n- facilitate an ongoing, onchain discussion throughout the process to provide updates and seek feedback from DAO members\n\n- reach out to Big Green DAO's leadership and members to facilitate a potential Q&A session with Nouns members about operating a DAO in a charitablee context\n\n- facilitate a conversation with [Gladys Santiago,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/santiagogladys/) a Certified Fundraising Executive who has raised over $300 million for more than 30 501c3 organizations, to discuss how the new org could fundraise and be self-sustaining\n\n- coordinate with other DAO members to gauge potential partner interest in supporting the new 501c3\n\n- Alongside 501Foundry, I will scope the \n - incorporation location & process\n - board governanace framework & policies\n - board requirements and compensation amounts, if any.\n - recommendations for board independence & staffing\n - ongoing costs to operate the 501c3\n - Agreements & operating procedures required for the DUNA to serve as a grant recommendation body to the 501c3.\n - Any potential costs to the DAO for the 501c3 org's creation\n - Any potential direct DAO funding to the 501c3\n\n- a candidate proposal with a 2-4 week onchain discussion period to determine if the structure for creating and operating alongside a new 501c3 is passable by the DAO's current participants.\n\nUnless the candidate conversations indicate the proposal has 0 chance of passing if moved forward, it will be promoted for a DAO vote.\n\nIf we are able to create a structure the DAO can agree to and pass a proposal, the DAO will pursue the full opportunity of 501Foundry's pro-bono services to get a sister 501c3 incorporated and operating.\n\nIf not, we will end the engagement with 501Foundry.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 960, "title": "Party Under the Sea", "description": "# Party Under the Sea\n\n# Fund a Solar-Powered Nogles Biorock Reef with Gili Eco Trust\n\n## A permanent underwater Nouns monument in the Gili Islands\n\nNouners \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\nWe are requesting **13,000 USDC** to build a **solar-powered Nogles-shaped Biorock reef** with **Gili Eco Trust** in the shallow waters of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia.\n\nThis proposal gives Nouns something rare: a **public, permanent, highly photogenic monument** that is also a real piece of ecological infrastructure. It will restore reef habitat, create a recognizable underwater Nouns landmark, and generate ongoing visibility for the brand in one of the world\u2019s most visited marine tourism destinations.\n\n## TL;DR\n\n- We are asking Nouns DAO to fund **one highly visible, shallow-water Nogles Biorock reef** in Gili Trawangan for **13,000 (rounded up from 12,761) USDC**.\n\n- This will be a **public-facing Nouns monument** that snorkelers, divers, underwater photographers, and tourists can actually see, film, and share.\n\n- Gili Eco Trust brings **20+ years of reef restoration experience** and an existing track record with roughly **180 Biorock cathodes** installed around the Gili Islands. All research helps expand the knowledge base globally for coral restoration. \n\n- The project combines **real coral restoration** with **real brand proliferation**: a living Nouns landmark in one of the world\u2019s most photographed marine tourism environments.\n\n- This proposal is **complementary to**, not duplicative of, Gili Eco Trust\u2019s [**Octant Epoch 7**](https://glm.octant.app/dashboard/projects) funding for the larger **Wave Donut** system. The Wave Donut is designed for **larger, higher-output reef structures farther from shore**. The Nouns reef is intentionally designed to be **closer, shallower, more visible, and more frequently visited**.\n\n- In other words: **Octant helps scale the offshore renewable-energy reef system; Nouns funds the iconic, visible, culturally legible reef that people will remember as Nouns.**\n\n![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeibkebdedrtgmd5qzvhsqe3wfliujlc2plkotbmhxxrmrmhxyczioe)\n\n## Why this is good for Nouns\n\nThis is not just conservation funding. It is **brand proliferation through ecological regeneration**.\n\nThe Nogles are already one of the most recognizable visual marks in crypto. This proposal turns that mark into a **real-world object people can visit, photograph, and share**. Not a banner. Not a logo wall. A living underwater installation.\n\nThat matters because Gili Trawangan is a high-traffic marine tourism destination with a large snorkel and dive audience. The right Nouns project here is not something hidden offshore. It is something **legible, accessible, weird, beautiful, and impossible to forget**.\n\n### What Nouns gets\n\n**1. A permanent public artwork**\nA Nogles-shaped reef is the attraction itself.\n\n**2. Brand proliferation in a tourism-heavy location**\nSnorkelers, divers, instructors, eco-tourists, and travel creators will encounter it in person. Tourism visibility, quantified Published research describes Gili Trawangan and the wider Gili Matra marine tourism area as receiving roughly 500,000 to 1,000,000 visitors annually, with up to 2,000 new visitors per day in peak conditions and more than 45 SCUBA centers operating in the area. That makes this proposal unusually strong for real-world Nouns exposure: the audience is already there, already in the water, and already taking photos.\n\n**3. Organic social distribution**\nA recognizable underwater Nogles structure gives people something unusual and memorable to post across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, dive forums, and travel channels.\n\n**4. Long-tail content value**\nNouns gets installation footage, underwater photography, reef-growth updates, and milestone + continuous content over time.\n\n**5. A simple public-good story**\n**Nouns helped build a living reef.**\n\n## Why Gili Eco Trust\n\nGili Eco Trust is not pitching a theory. They are a long-running local operator with a proven reef-restoration track record.\n\nTheir project materials describe **more than 20 years** of coral restoration work around the Gili Islands, with approximately **180 Biorock cathodes** already installed. Prior campaign materials describe Biorock-supported reefs as enabling significantly faster coral growth and improved resilience under low-voltage mineral accretion conditions.\n\nThat matters because Nouns is not funding an untested experiment from scratch. It is funding a proven local team to build a new, highly legible, Nouns-native structure using methods they already know how to install and maintain.\n\n![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeiaqkv3giqoz36u6gjctgiwgfdzilgj3krm72rjhdywfumygs7vp4a)![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeic4pkefqp6joudlg2sib2e3xxkjuicvobl6n3nqu5hz7vplybjqom)## What will be built\n\nThe project is a **Nogles-shaped steel Biorock structure** installed in shallow water at approximately **2 to 3 meters depth**.\n\nThe frame will be designed and welded by local artisans and installed by Gili Eco Trust\u2019s experienced team. Coral fragments will be transplanted onto the structure. A safe low-voltage current will be supplied from the existing solar setup, triggering limestone accretion and creating an ideal surface for coral growth.\n\nThe result is a structure that is:\n\n- clearly recognizable as Nogles,\n\n- accessible to visitors,\n\n- ecologically useful,\n\n- and likely to become one of the most distinctive underwater visuals associated with Nouns.\n\n-Other art installs\n\n![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeidvkpor6pojxh4b6n3p6hcyxu436mh7xbskbmpvb77e3yo5pj6x44)![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeieaqzc3kuw5cif4rgiydjblod5dmwriyqaf3fok4gjfkpnej2loda)\n\n## Why this is separate from the Wave Donut\n\nGili Eco Trust\u2019s [**Octant Epoch 7**](https://glm.octant.app/dashboard/projects) campaign successfully raised funding for the larger **Wave Donut** blue-energy system, with **35.191 ETH total donated and matched**, from **144 unique donors**.\n\nThat is a strong signal of outside validation for the team and the broader Blue Energy Reef vision.\n\nBut the Nouns proposal is **not** asking to fund the same thing.\n\nThe larger Wave Donut system is best suited to **larger structures farther from shore**, where higher-output blue energy can power bigger reef systems. That is good for scale, broader research and learning.\n\nThe Nouns reef has a different job.\n\nIt is designed to be:\n\n- **closer to shore**,\n\n- **more visible to tourists**,\n\n- **easy to access for snorkelers and divers**,\n\n- **highly photographable**,\n\n- and unmistakably **Nouns**.\n\nSo the logic here is simple:\n\n- **Octant funded scale and research for offshore power.**\n\n- **Nouns funds visibility, cultural legibility, and the iconic public-facing reef.**\n\nThose are complementary pieces of the same larger story, not overlapping asks.\n\n## Why coral restoration matters\n\nCoral reefs cover only a tiny fraction of the seafloor, but they support an outsized share of marine life and coastal livelihoods. Restoring reef structure matters because reefs are not only beautiful ecosystems; they are also **physical infrastructure for biodiversity, fisheries, tourism, and shoreline stability**.\n\n### Key ecosystem benefits\n\n**Biodiversity habitat**\nHealthy reefs provide shelter, nursery habitat, feeding grounds, and spawning areas for fish and invertebrates.\n\n**Coastal protection**\nHealthy reefs reduce wave energy and help protect beaches and shorelines from erosion and storm damage.\n\n**Tourism and local livelihoods**\nReefs support dive tourism, snorkeling, guiding, education, hospitality, and other local marine-economy jobs.\n\n**Oxygen production through photosynthesis**\nCoral reef ecosystems support intense daylight photosynthesis by symbiotic algae living in corals, along with other reef-associated algae and marine plants. That helps produce oxygen locally and supports one of the most productive shallow-water ecosystems in the ocean.\n\n**Carbon cycling and long-lived reef structure**\nReef-building corals lock carbon into calcium carbonate skeletons that become long-lived physical structure. Coral reefs are not the same kind of blue-carbon sink as mangroves or seagrasses, but healthy reef systems still play a meaningful role in carbon cycling, habitat formation, and protecting nearby coastal ecosystems.\n\n**Climate resilience and adaptation**\nRestoration helps rebuild habitat complexity, improve ecological resilience, and strengthen coastal systems that depend on living reefs.\n\n## UN Sustainable Development Goals alignment\n\nThis project aligns most directly with:\n\n**SDG 8 \u2014 Decent Work and Economic Growth**\nBy supporting reef-linked tourism, local fabrication, installation labor, marine education, and community-based conservation work.\n\n**SDG 12 \u2014 Responsible Consumption and Production**\nBy promoting a more sustainable tourism and stewardship model around fragile reef ecosystems.\n\n**SDG 14 \u2014 Life Below Water**\nBy restoring coral habitat, improving marine biodiversity, and investing directly in reef recovery.\n\n![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeidyzokij677gled2ychna2xnudtag5riz7cw276yt2o27gwnkwtnq)![](https://lime-wonderful-wren-224.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeig2j34hg7jvx5sdvs4hv4z7b7euwf6ua4kpazmtadbtjdhiahpejm)## Deliverables\n\nIf funded, the project will deliver:\n\n- One **solar-powered Nogles Biorock reef** installed in shallow water in Gili Trawangan.\n\n- Coral transplantation onto the structure.\n\n- Photo and video documentation of installation.\n\n- Follow-up visual updates showing reef development.\n\n- Clear attribution to Nouns in project communications and storytelling.\n\n- Nogles-themed visibility in the Gili Eco Trust ecosystem where appropriate.\n\n## Success metrics\n\nThis proposal should be judged not only on installation, but on Nouns proliferation.\n\nWe propose the following success metrics:\n\n- Structure fully installed and energized.\n\n- Coral fragments transplanted and documented.\n\n- Photo/video update at installation, publicly available.\n\n- Follow-up visual updates at **3 months, 6 months, and 12 months**.

Nouns fits that mindset natively and this is a real foot in the door.\n\nThe reason we focused more on characters than on glasses while creating vinyl toys is to create an image that appeals more to general toy buyers whilst still being obviously nounish to those in the know.\n\nThere is a hidden goal, underneath all of this, of bringing new artists to Nouns.

We didn't get the votes.\n\nBut the story of a theatre turning to crypto instead of the state became national news in Sweden.\n\n![Aftonbladet_Article](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJ9QKj0TZe.png)\n\nAftonbladet, 3.5 million daily readers\n\n---\n\n![3 theathres looking for funding elsewhere_photo](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJI9tsAT-l.png)\n\nG\u00f6teborgs-Posten, 500,000 daily readers. Front page of the Saturday edition\n\nWe sparked a national debate about who controls culture, who gets funded, and whether decentralized alternatives can fill the gap left by a system that hasn't changed in decades.\n\nWe did all of that **without actually receiving funding.**\n\n---\n\n## The system we're up against\n\nSweden's cultural grants are decided by a small committee. The rules are unwritten but consistent:\n\n*\"Those who have once received operational support will continue to receive it year after year. Then there is no room for any new ones.\"*\n\nThat's what the cultural administration told us directly, after we were rejected three years in a row despite being told we \"do everything right.\"\n\nThis year, the City of Gothenburg distributed SEK 52 million to 82 venues. All but six had received support before. We were not one of them.\n\nTo survive, we opened a bar and expanded the venue in 2025. We're now **double the size, with 150 seats per show.** One co-owner runs the kitchen. He's the only one who draws a salary.\n\n> *\"That's where our cultural support is.

Sound familiar?\n\nThe play works on three layers at once:\n\n**Layer 1 . The history:** A comedic portrait of Moli\u00e8re, master of satire, enemy of gatekeepers.\n\n**Layer 2. Our story:** A theatre denied funding for 13 years, saved by a decentralized community of strangers on the internet.\n\n**Layer 3. The meta:** Somewhere in Act 2, the audience realizes this isn't fiction. This is happening right now. The theatre they're sitting in is the theatre in the story. The funding came from a DAO they've never heard of.\n\n---\n\n## We heard your feedback, here's exactly how Nouns is integrated\n\nLast time, the strongest criticism was simple: the idea is great, but the proposal didn't specify how Nouns would actually appear in the production.\n\nA voter who abstained put it plainly: the pitches made them \"extremely bullish\" but the written proposal didn't capture it. They asked us to come back with specifics.\n\nHere they are, as commitments not possibilities.\n\n**The characters:**\n\n| Character | Role |\n\n|---|---|\n\n| **The Noun \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8** | The hero. A central character representing the Nouns community, wearing noggles on stage. Developed collaboratively with the community during production. |\n\n| **The Theatre Director** | A passionate artist trying to save his theatre. Based on our real story. |\n\n| **The State** | The villain. Bureaucracy personified. Never loses (until now). |\n\n| **Moli\u00e8re** | A ghost from the 17th century who appears to find that nothing has really changed. |\n\n**The ending:** The theatre is saved. Moli\u00e8re and the Director are \"nounified\", noggles on.\n\n**Our commitments:**\n\n- \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 **Noggles featured on stage** and on all production posters\n\n- The **Noun is a central role**, not a cameo\n\n- **Script open** for community input during development\n\n- Nouns and the **funding story named explicitly**, not implicitly\n\n- **Crypto payments at the venue** introduced at premiere, earmarked toward an NFT\n\n- **Nouns merch collaboration**, relaunching our webshop with community art. Merch also available at venue.\n\n- **Script released CC0**, any theatre anywhere can perform it in any language, consistent with Nouns' own open-source ethos\n\nThat last point matters.

We think this production is both: genuinely great art and explicitly Nounish. That combination is rare.\n\n---\n\n## The numbers, honestly\n\nWe've dropped the Discord conversion estimates from the last proposal. They were based on a misunderstanding of how Nouns is structured and some figures were simply wrong. We'd rather be straight with you.\n\n| Channel | Reach |\n\n|---|---|\n\n| Live performances (150 seats, 3 years) | 7,000+ people |\n\n| Own social media (10,000 followers + organic) | 15,000+ people |\n\n| Media coverage \u2014 already proven, will continue | 4M+ in first cycle alone |\n\nWe will track and share ticket sales, QR code scans, social engagement, and press coverage.

Total quantity: 800 - 1,200 units\n\nEstimated production cost per unit: $17-23\n\n1. Other costs: Taipei event booth fee 2,375 USDC\n\n -(Duckhead has already prepaid 30% for last year's reservation.)\n\n2.

Labor costs for 2 interpreters (for the 4-day event) : 1,200 USDC\n\nNotes:\n\n- This project plans to introduce Nounsplex products that are hand-painted and packaged rather than mass-produced, designed to be easily accessible to all age groups\n\n- The soft vinyl toy production project is expected to take up to 6 months, with the goal of completing the entire project by Christmas 2026.\n\n- This does not refer to the completion date of the products themselves, but rather to related projects utilizing the toys produced through this proposal.\n\n- The completion time for the blank soft vinyl toys before coloring is 2\u20133 months.\n\n- The blank toys before coloring account for 35% of the total quantity and will be used for marketing purposes to facilitate interaction with artists.\n\nToy Usage Rate and Profit Distribution:\n\n1. 33.3% of the profits will be used for marketing purposes to facilitate interaction with artists, in the form of blank toys before coloring.\n\n- 80% of this will be paid directly to the collaborating artist.\n\n- 20% will be in the form of a custom-made toy. This special toy will be kept for future exhibitions.\n\n2. 33.3% of the profits paid to the DAO.\n\n3. 33.3% of the profits as compensation for Duckhead and put towards the next project to exhibit the custom toys created by the collaborating artists.\n\n# Expected Results: Who will attend? Toy buyers. Others?\n\nOn the surface, it could be an influx of toy buyers.\n\nAttendees also aren\u2019t random consumers, they\u2019re buyers and collectors. People who understand assigning meaning, rarity, and identity to objects. Nouns fits that mindset natively and this is a real foot in the door.\n\nThe reason we focused more on characters than on glasses while creating vinyl toys is to create an image that appeals more to general toy buyers whilst still being obviously nounish to those in the know. They now also feature magnetic noggles as shown above and below.\n\nThere is a hidden goal, underneath all of this, of bringing new artists to Nouns. It is expected that these events will inspire new artists to breathe vitality into Noun o clock, and Nouns, via honest curiosity.\n\n![shopfront Large](https://wrpcd.net/cdn-cgi/imagedelivery/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/c8397549-acea-4566-ba1b-05069656a000/rectcontain3)\n\nThe resin toy sample packaging includes a QR code with an explanation of NOUN. More detailed descriptions have been added, and a simple yet impactful image of glasses has been added to the front.

Storage layout, events, public ABI, and constructor are unchanged \u2014 a byte-compatible proxy upgrade.\n\n## Background\n\nToday, if a daily auction ends with no bids, the Auction House calls \\`nouns.burn(nounId)\\` and the Noun is destroyed forever. This is the original 2021 behavior and has not been revisited. Burning permanently shrinks supply, losing the DAO's option to ever re-auction, grant, or otherwise put that Noun to use.\n\nThe bid path already routes ETH proceeds to \\`owner()\\` (the DAO Executor). The no-bid path should route the Noun itself to the same address, for the same reason.\n\n## The change\n\n```\n if (_auction.bidder == address(0)) {\n- nouns.burn(_auction.nounId);\n+ nouns.transferFrom(address(this), owner(), _auction.nounId);\n } else {\n nouns.transferFrom(address(this), _auction.bidder, _auction.nounId);\n }\n```\n\nThat's the entire behavioral diff. After execution, no-bid Nouns become a Treasury asset and can be re-auctioned, granted, held in reserve, or burned retroactively via a follow-up proposal. Burning day 1 preserves none of those options.\n\n## Why a new V4 contract instead of mutating V3\n\nBy Nouns DAO's existing convention every behavioral change has gotten a fresh version number (V1\u2192V2 added clientId, V2\u2192V3 added the sanctions oracle). The no-bid \u2192 treasury change is at least as material as either of those, so calling it V4 keeps the version number honest about live behavior. V3 source on Etherscan continues to describe what the old V3 actually does.\n\n## Why transferFrom and not safeTransferFrom\n\nThe DAO Executor (\\`0xb1a32FC9F9D8b2cf86C068Cae13108809547ef71\\`, NounsDAOExecutorV2) is a contract and does not implement \\`onERC721Received\\`. Plain \\`transferFrom\\` lands the token without invoking the receiver hook, the same call shape used in the winning-bidder branch directly below. No new reentrancy surface: \\`transferFrom\\` does not call into the receiver, and \\`\\_settleAuction()\\` is invoked from \\`nonReentrant\\` external functions.\n\n## Technical details\n\n- Auction House proxy: \\`0x830BD73E4184ceF73443C15111a1DF14e495C706\\` (\\`auction.nouns.eth\\`) \n- Proxy admin (owned by Executor): \\`0xC1C119932d78aB9080862C5fcb964029f086401e\\` \n- New logic contract (V4): \\`0xbAE451A53C5162D8847490A043DD60BAaEF44C0B\\` (verified on Etherscan) \n- Storage layout: unchanged \n- Constructor args: unchanged (nouns=\\`0x9C8fF314\u202603\\`, weth=\\`0xC02a\u2026cC2\\`, duration=86400) \n- \\`AuctionSettled\\` event: unchanged signature; no-bid still emits \\`(nounId, address(0), 0)\\` \n\n## Proposal action (single call)\n\n```\ntarget: 0xC1C119932d78aB9080862C5fcb964029f086401e\nvalue: 0\nsignature: upgrade(address,address)\ncalldata: 0x000000000000000000000000830bd73e4184cef73443c15111a1df14e495c706\n 000000000000000000000000bae451a53c5162d8847490a043dd60baaef44c0b\n```\n\n## Test coverage\n\n- \\`test\\_noBidSettlement\\_postUpgrade\\_transfersToTreasury\\` \u2014 mainnet-fork upgrade test that performs the proxy upgrade against live mainnet state, settles a zero-bid auction past \\`endTime\\`, and asserts \\`ownerOf(nounId) == AH.owner()\\`. \n- All existing V3 tests continue to apply unchanged \u2014 V4 is a strict superset of V3 behavior with one branch swapped, so V3's full test suite still validates everything except the no-bid path. \n\n## Risks\n\n- Past Nouns are unaffected. \n- Already-burned Nouns stay burned. \n- This proposal does not revoke the Auction House's ability to call \\`NounsToken.burn()\\` \u2014 it only stops it from doing so on the no-bid path. \n- A future proposal could remove burn authority entirely if desired. \n- Indexer / UI tooling that detected \"burned\" by \\`ownerOf\\` revert will resolve future no-bid Nouns to the Executor instead. \n- Source diff is reviewable at [PR #1290](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/1290). No formal audit \u2014 the change is a 2-line behavioral swap inside an already-audited contract, with mainnet-fork test coverage of the post-upgrade settlement path. \n\n## On disposition and tax exposure\n\nA reasonable concern raised in pre-prop discussion: the treasury already holds \\~500 Nouns at a \\~2.6 ETH cost basis each, and adding no-bid Nouns with a $0 cost basis could create future tax liability if the DAO ever distributes them.\n\nThis proposal does **not** alter disposition policy. If the DAO ever chooses to distribute treasury Nouns, it can do so on a specific-ID basis \u2014 releasing the higher-basis Nouns first (recognizing losses) and treating no-bid Nouns as last-out. Over the lifetime of the DAO so far, the existing treasury pool has barely been drawn down, so the marginal tax effect of any incoming no-bid Nouns is deferred indefinitely. Separately, whether a no-bid Noun received by the DAO establishes a fair-market-value basis at receipt (rather than $0) is an open question for tax counsel; if it does, the concern collapses entirely.\n\nThe alternative \u2014 burning \u2014 achieves the same \"don't distribute\" outcome while permanently foreclosing every other option (re-auction, grant, retroactive burn). The tax argument is an argument for a thoughtful disposition policy, not for destroying assets unilaterally.\n\n## Out of scope\n\nThis proposal does not pre-allocate what becomes of no-bid Nouns once they reach the treasury. Future governance decides on a case-by-case basis.\n\n## Voting\n\nFOR = the DAO should keep optionality over its own assets, and align the no-bid settlement path with the principle that nothing produced by the auction mechanism is destroyed unilaterally.\n\nAGAINST = permanent supply destruction on a no-bid day is a feature you want to preserve.\n\n[![](https://scontent-iad4-1.choicecdn.com/-/rs:fill:2000:1130/g:ce/f:webp/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWdpYy5kZWNlbnRyYWxpemVkLWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2lwZnMvYmFmeWJlaWFlZGV6azNoZG1sbjNzbzNsY2pxdGRkZXl2dWdtbjdwMzQzbDV4azc2NHZzdGw3NmZ2aGU \"https://zora.co/coin/base:0xd1d6315014ab305cd2820e8b7b9db6a670a7696b?referrer=0xae4705dc0816ee6d8a13f1c72780ec5021915fed\")](https://zora.co/coin/base:0xd1d6315014ab305cd2820e8b7b9db6a670a7696b?referrer=0xae4705dc0816ee6d8a13f1c72780ec5021915fed)", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "EXECUTED", "passed": true} {"id": 969, "title": "Resume the Proliferation: 0 ETH Reserve", "description": "# Resume the Proliferation: 0 ETH Reserve\n\nThe daily auction is the heartbeat of Nouns, and right now, it\u2019s basically stopped.

It didn't ship. We're going to ship it \u2014 along with sealed bid auctions \u2014 before the end of 2026. Full-stack: contracts, frontend, supporting services, and live governance proposals to activate both features on Nouns. Built on cryptographically sound, trustless infrastructure with no reliance on any single operator or trusted party.\n\n**Ask: 1 Noun + 111 stETH**\n\n---\n\n## Note on Revision\n\nUpdated to address three common points of feedback:\n\n1. **Ask amount:** There was strong objection to the size of the original proposal. This revision halves the ask. \n2. **#breakevenmovement:** Nouns' approach and culture has evolved, shifting focus from raw grants to more mutually beneficial arrangements. This proposal makes the mutual benefit much more explicit by structuring it as an investment rather than a grant. \n3. **Receipt-free voting uncertainty:** There is genuine uncertainty around whether receipt-free secret ballot voting is desirable for Nouns proper. We strongly believe that it would be a net improvement for Nouns, along with many other onchain orgs. However, we recognize that it is bold change. To address this, we propose that the stack could first be tested on a smaller Nouns derivative (existing or new) before being adopted by Nouns itself. \n\n---\n\n## Context\n\n### The Unfinished Business of Prop 216\n\nIn early 2023, Nouns DAO funded a [Private Voting Research Sprint](https://nouns.wtf/vote/216) \u2014 one of the most forward-thinking governance experiments in the DAO space. Three teams received \\~70K USDC each to research trustless, ballot-secret, on-chain voting. The sprint was genuinely valuable: it proved that private voting on Ethereum is *possible*, and produced real cryptographic research.\n\nBut the outcomes never became usable software. The deliverables were CLI-based proofs of concept \u2014 not market-ready, not audited, requiring developers to write code rather than click buttons. Key requirements like multisig support and weighted voting were explicitly excluded. The research sprint answered the theoretical question but left the practical one wide open.\n\nThe reasons are understandable: it was early, the tooling was immature, and the funding was sized for research, not production. The teams did what was asked. But Nouns never got private voting.\n\nThe same story has played out, quietly, with auctions. The Nouns auction is one of the most elegant on-chain mechanisms in existence \u2014 one Noun, every day, forever. Yet its bids are fully public, which creates well-documented dynamics: bid sniping, last-second manipulation, and strategic suppression of price signals. A sealed bid auction would directly address these issues and produce more accurate price discovery for Nouns and derivative DAOs.\n\n### Why Private Voting and Sealed Bid Auctions Matter\n\n**On voting:** Public on-chain voting creates a category of problems collectively known as \"open ballot pathologies.\" When votes are visible in real time, holders experience last-minute vote changes driven by social pressure rather than conviction (the \"11th-hour problem\"), vote coercion from large token holders, and bandwagon effects where delegates wait to see how influential Nouners vote before committing. Secret ballot voting \u2014 the global default in virtually every democratic system for 150 years \u2014 eliminates these dynamics without sacrificing verifiability. The tally is publicly provable; the individual votes are not.\n\n**On auctions:** Sealed bid auctions prevent bidders from strategically timing their bids to avoid driving up the price. When all bids are encrypted until auction close, the winner is determined by genuine valuation rather than gameable timing. For a protocol where a single auction determines who joins the DAO each day, this matters enormously.\n\n### Why This Will Succeed Where The Sprint Fell Short\n\nThe 2023 sprint was a research exercise. This is an implementation engagement \u2014 and the conditions that made production impossible in 2023 have changed substantially.\n\nThe critical missing piece in 2023 was the absence of production-ready infrastructure for trustless encrypted computation. That infrastructure now exists. We will build on [The Interfold](https://theinterfold.com/) \u2014 an open-source protocol launching in mid-June 2026 that coordinates Encrypted Execution Environments (E3s) across a distributed network of staked ciphernodes. It combines three cryptographic primitives into a coherent, developer-accessible stack:\n\n- **Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE):** Computation runs directly on encrypted inputs. Votes and bids are never decrypted individually \u2014 only final results are revealed. \n- **Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs):** Voters and bidders prove eligibility and input validity without revealing their identity or choice. All computation is verifiably correct. \n- **Distributed Threshold Cryptography (DTC):** No single operator controls decryption. Ciphernodes are selected via cryptographic sortition and must cooperate collectively to reveal results \u2014 eliminating any single point of failure or trust. \n\nThe Interfold already ships a complete reference implementation for secret ballot voting \u2014 including a React frontend, Rust coordination server, ZK circuits, and smart contracts \u2014 which this work will extend and adapt for Nouns. We are the team building The Interfold, and we are ready to begin on day one of its launch.\n\nWhere the 2023 sprint produced a CLI, this proposal produces a product. Where the sprint excluded multisig support, this implementation handles it natively. Where the sprint stopped at research, this proposal ends with **live on-chain proposals to activate both features on Nouns itself**.\n\n---\n\n## Deliverables\n\nThis engagement targets a **three-month timeline** beginning at The Interfold's launch in mid-June 2026, with a hard maximum of **six months**. All work is open source. All contracts will be audited prior to any live proposal to Nouns governance.\n\n### Phase 1 \u2014 Secret Ballot Voting for Nouns (Months 1\u20133)\n\n**Smart Contracts**\n\n- A Nouns-specific private voting contract with NFT holder and delegate eligibility verification via Merkle proofs \n- Weighted voting support with ballot batching to prevent vote-weight fingerprinting \n- Multisig voter support \n- Integration with the existing \\`NounsGovernor\\` contract \u2014 private voting is a drop-in augmentation, not a replacement \n\n**Frontend**\n\n- In-browser ballot encryption \u2014 votes are encrypted client-side and never exposed to any intermediary \n- ZK proof generation in the browser for voter eligibility and ballot validity \n- Real-time voting status and verifiable tally display \n- Full MetaMask / WalletConnect support \n- Deployable as a standalone interface or integrated into Nouns.wtf \n\n**Supporting Services**\n\n- Coordination server managing the full voting lifecycle (committee formation, key generation, compute triggering, result publication) \n- Ciphernode committee configuration and operational documentation tuned for Nouns \n\n**Governance**\n\n- A live Nouns DAO proposal to activate secret ballot voting on a defined class of proposals \n\n---\n\n### Phase 2 \u2014 Sealed Bid Auctions for Nouns (Months 2\u20134, overlapping)\n\n**Smart Contracts**\n\n- A sealed bid auction contract modifying the existing \\`NounsAuctionHouse\\` to accept encrypted bids during the auction window \n- ZK bid validation: bidders prove their bid exceeds the reserve without revealing the amount \n- Automatic winner determination and settlement upon computation completion, fully verifiable on-chain \n- Parameterized for reuse by Noun-like DAOs (LilNouns, SharkDAO, etc.) \n\n**Frontend**\n\n- Encrypted bid submission UI integrated into the existing auction experience \n- Status display reflecting auction lifecycle stages (bidding open \u2192 sealed \u2192 settlement) \n- Bid confirmation and receipt flow \n\n**Supporting Services**\n\n- Compute provider configuration for auction-specific encrypted programs \n- Settlement hook for automatic winner notification and NFT transfer \n\n**Governance**\n\n- A live Nouns DAO proposal to migrate the Nouns auction to the sealed bid mechanism, with a proposed rollout path and kill switch \n\n---\n\n### Phase 3 \u2014 Ecosystem Packaging (Months 5\u20136, if needed)\n\n- A generalized private voting and sealed auction template package, documented and deployable by any Noun-fork DAO without custom development \n- Developer-facing deployment guide and SDK documentation \n- Public technical report and postmortem for the Nouns community \n\n---\n\n## Ask\n\n| Item | Amount |\n| ----- | --------- |\n| Noun | 1 Noun |\n| stETH | 111 stETH |\n\n**111 stETH** at a **$30M valuation**. This funding will go towards full-stack engineering (contracts, frontend, backend, ZK circuits), security audit(s), ciphernode infrastructure costs, and comms for the activation proposals through Nouns DAO. This is structured as an investment with a **12-month holding period**, alongside a **24-month linear unlock** from TGE, aligning our long-term incentives with the DAO and mirroring terms for previous investors in The Interfold.\n\n**1 Noun** aligns our long-term incentives with the DAO. We are not building a service for Nouns \u2014 we are becoming part of it. The Noun will not be sold or delegated away during the engagement period. It gives us a seat at the table and a reason to care about the outcome beyond the contract. We asked for 245 because some of us are coffee nerds.\n\n---\n\n## Why Now\n\nThe tooling that made this impossible in 2023 launches in June. The cryptographic primitives that the original sprint spent three months exploring are now packaged, auditable, and accessible. We are at the earliest moment when this work is actually executable, and we intend to begin on day one.\n\nNouns has a long track record of funding experiments at the frontier of on-chain governance. This is not a frontier experiment \u2014 the frontier work is already done. This is the moment to collect on that bet and actually ship the feature.\n\n\u2310\u25e8-\u25e8\n\n---\n\n*For questions or technical discussion, reach out on Discord or visit* *[docs.theinterfold.com](https://docs.theinterfold.com/).*", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 973, "title": "Grant trav delegate access to the Nouns DAO X account", "description": "# Grant trav delegate access to the Nouns DAO X account\n\nThis proposal grants trav delegate access to the @nounsdao X account for original, written posts on key governance updates, proposal successes and art/memes.\n\nI'm requesting a $500/month stream for six months of experimentation -- aiming for at least 3-10 posts weekly to cover what's new and interesting in Nouns.\n\nThe DUNA admins will maintain root access to the account and have final say/deletion power over delegate posts.\n\nTrav's media efforts ([instagram.com/lilnouners](https://www.instagram.com/lilnouners)) were previously funded by Lil Nouns proposals 329 and 190 on 9/1/25 and 3/29/24 after 20 months of volunteership.\n\nThank you \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8", "category": "Grants & Funding", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 974, "title": "Make Nouns Bid Again!", "description": "# Make Nouns Bid Again!\n\nThe daily auction has been dead for a month, and letting Nouns stack up in the treasury like a digital attic collecting dust is a total waste.

Noun holders can open Spaces : places inside the city that can host scenes for stories, hold events, and even earn fees by charging for goods, services, or experiences.* |\n| :---- | :---- |\n\n# The problem\n\nNouns has incredible art and a few standout narrative experiments. What it doesn't have is a daily, participatory, story-generating layer: a place where any holder can show up, play as their Noun, and shape the story of the nouns alongside others.\n\nThe Nounish aesthetic travels to real-world events, web3 communities, and beyond. But it lacks the everyday stories that make a brand stick.\n\nNoun City fills that gap.\n\n# What we're building\n\nNoun City is a web-based, AI-assisted world for collaborative storytelling, built around the Nouns collection. It starts as text-based multiplayer interactive stories (a format we've developed) and gradually expands into richer media experiences, keeping human creativity and Nounish spirit at the core.\n\nIt is a platform to foster a new era of storytelling.\n\n## Interactive Adventures\n\nStories can be created by a director, then played collectively by a group of friends. They're open to everyone. Users pick a Noun to embody. The best stories become scripts that can be replayed by new users discovering Noun City over time, creating an evolving world of fun and meaningful adventures. Stories can be set anywhere in the city: streets, districts, or inside the Spaces that holders have built.\n\n## Spaces and Venues: Bringing real projects in the City\n\nNoun City is not only a place for fiction. Noun holders can open Spaces : dedicated locations inside the city tied to their vision or purpose. A Space gives any project a living presence in the Nounish world: a location that exists on the map, shows up in stories, hosts events, and draws other players in.\n\nA Space can be a shop, a studio, a gallery, a lab, a tavern, whatever fits the vision behind it. Directors can set stories inside it. Other players visit, interact, and carry its lore forward. The Space becomes part of the lore.\n\nThis creates a direct economic opportunity for Noun holders who are building something. Visibility inside Noun City connects to visibility in the broader Nounish ecosystem and beyond.\n\nSpace owners can sell services and goods directly through their Space. Noun City takes either a rent or a small fee on each transaction, which flows back into funding new stories, sustaining the platform and expanding the world. \n\n## Noggle \u2014 the AI narrator\n\nFloating Noggles glasses, part Clippy, part dungeon master. Noggle helps directors set up stories, suggests actions, surfaces the best daily stories, and narrates the world of Noun City, including the Spaces that populate it. Noggle is the personality of the platform.\n\n## Farcaster : A Social Layer for Noun City\n\nNoun City uses Farcaster as its social layer, letting friends play together, find each other, and visit Spaces. It's also where the world leaks out and draws people in.\n\nNoggle has its own social media presence here and on X, posting daily story updates, cliffhangers, and lore results as if reporting live from the city. \n\n## The Creathon : A Founding Community Event\n\nEarly in the build, we will host a creathon \u2014 an online community gathering for collective storytelling, feedback, and co-creation. Noun holders, players, and contributors come together to write the first stories, stress-test the mechanics, open the first Spaces, and shape Noun City from the inside.\n\nThe Creathon is a founding ritual. It happens while the platform is still being built, so that the community's voice is embedded in the design. Stories born at the Creathon become the seed canon of the world. Spaces opened there become its first landmarks.\n\nIt also gives us a practical feedback loop for the team: play, friction, ideas, captured early enough to matter.\n\n# Why Nouns DAO should fund this\n\n* **Beloved stories first, then bigger media.** Nouns has shipped impressive flagship work: animations, films. What's still missing is the everyday mythology that makes a brand resonate. Noun City empowers the community to build that foundation. All stories stay CC0, so animators, filmmakers, and other creators can extend the world in any direction. \n* **Storytelling as a medium**. Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of community building. Noun City extends Nounish culture into daily, participatory narrative.\n\n* **A new economic layer for builders.** Whatever a holder is building, business, community, or creative vision, Spaces give it a home in Noun City to host events, appear in stories, and earn fees. \n* **Multiple paths to sustainability.** Story passes, daily canon mints, Space fees, and on-chain minting rituals can create sustainable revenue after the initial build phase. We don't commit to one prematurely. We look for the ones that fit.\n\n\n# Budget\n\nWe are requesting $30,000 USDC to fund a focused 4-month build sprint toward a playable MVP. \n\n| Category | Description | Amount (USD) | Share |\n| :---- | :---- | ----: | ----: |\n| **PEOPLE** | | | |\n| Platform build | Architecture, Noggle AI narrator, stories and world mechanics, director system | $12,000 | 40% |\n| Art & UX | Visual identity, UI design, asset production, videos | $8,000 | 27% |\n| Community | Nouns relationships, feedback loops, coordination | $2,000 | 7% |\n| **INFRASTRUCTURE & TOOLS** | | | |\n| AI API costs | Noggle narrator and story builder \u2014 Claude calls over 6 months | $3,000 | 10% |\n| Hosting & ops | Servers, database, domain (6 months) | $1,500 | 5% |\n| creative tools | Software, asset production | $1,000 | 3% |\n| **OTHER** | | | |\n| Contingency | Unforeseen technical, operational or coordination challenges during the build | $2,500 | 8% |\n| **Total** | | **$30,000** | **100%** |\n\n*wallet : 0xE0E5C6E8f61993e9F0937fBe44679DC00eb3B8aA* \n\n# Milestones\n\n| Deliverables \u2014 4 months |\n| :---- |\n| \u25c6 Playable story creation flow (director \\+ players) |\n| \u25c6 Creathon \u2014 community event to co-create founding stories, gather feedback and onboard early contributors |\n| \u25c6 Noggle narrator live \u2014 AI-driven story responses |\n| \u25c6 Noun character selection integrated with the collection |\n| \u25c6 Connected stories framework |\n| \u25c6 First community stories & public demo on [www.nouncity.wtf](http://www.nouncity.wtf) |\n| \u25c6 Noun Spaces system live \u2014 holders can open and configure their Space |\n| \u25c6 At least 3 founding Spaces active and featured in stories at launch |\n| \u25c6 Space fee mechanism operational |\n\n# \n\n# The team\n\n*Coming from the LUM community, dedicated to Human x AI collaboration, we are working on bringing stories to life.

We didn't get the votes.\n\nBut the story of a theatre turning to crypto instead of the state became national news in Sweden.\n\n![Aftonbladet_Article](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJ9QKj0TZe.png)\n\nAftonbladet, 3.5 million daily readers\n\n---\n\n![3 theathres looking for funding elsewhere_photo](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJI9tsAT-l.png)\n\nG\u00f6teborgs-Posten, 500,000 daily readers. Front page of the Saturday edition\n\nWe sparked a national debate about who controls culture, who gets funded, and whether decentralized alternatives can fill the gap left by a system that hasn't changed in decades.\n\nWe did all of that **without actually receiving funding.**\n\n---\n\n## The system we're up against\n\nSweden's cultural grants are decided by a small committee. The rules are unwritten but consistent:\n\n*\"Those who have once received operational support will continue to receive it year after year. Then there is no room for any new ones.\"*\n\nThat's what the cultural administration told us directly, after we were rejected three years in a row despite being told we \"do everything right.\"\n\nThis year, the City of Gothenburg distributed SEK 52 million to 82 venues. All but six had received support before. We were not one of them.\n\nTo survive, we opened a bar and expanded the venue in 2025. We're now **double the size, with 150 seats per show.** One co-owner runs the kitchen. He's the only one who draws a salary.\n\n> *\"That's where our cultural support is. When you buy a beer, you help us keep going.\"*\n\nBeer sales are our cultural policy.\n\n---\n\n## The idea\n\n**The Complete Works of Moli\u00e8re \u2014 Nouns Edition**\n\nMoli\u00e8re spent his career mocking the French elite, exposing hypocrisy, and getting banned for it \u2014 until the King decided he was too funny to silence. Sound familiar?\n\nThe play works on three layers at once:\n\n**Layer 1 . The history:** A comedic portrait of Moli\u00e8re, master of satire, enemy of gatekeepers.\n\n**Layer 2. Our story:** A theatre denied funding for 13 years, saved by a decentralized community of strangers on the internet.\n\n**Layer 3. The meta:** Somewhere in Act 2, the audience realizes this isn't fiction. This is happening right now. The theatre they're sitting in is the theatre in the story. The funding came from a DAO they've never heard of.\n\n---\n\n## We heard your feedback, here's exactly how Nouns is integrated\n\nLast time, the strongest criticism was simple: the idea is great, but the proposal didn't specify how Nouns would actually appear in the production.\n\nA voter who abstained put it plainly: the pitches made them \"extremely bullish\" but the written proposal didn't capture it. They asked us to come back with specifics.\n\nHere they are, as commitments not possibilities.\n\n**The characters:**\n\n| Character | Role |\n\n|---|---|\n\n| **The Noun \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8** | The hero. A central character representing the Nouns community, wearing noggles on stage. Developed collaboratively with the community during production. |\n\n| **The Theatre Director** | A passionate artist trying to save his theatre. Based on our real story. |\n\n| **The State** | The villain. Bureaucracy personified. Never loses (until now). |\n\n| **Moli\u00e8re** | A ghost from the 17th century who appears to find that nothing has really changed. |\n\n**The ending:** The theatre is saved. Moli\u00e8re and the Director are \"nounified\", noggles on.\n\n**Our commitments:**\n\n- \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 **Noggles featured on stage** and on all production posters\n\n- The **Noun is a central role**, not a cameo\n\n- **Script open** for community input during development\n\n- Nouns and the **funding story named explicitly**, not implicitly\n\n- **Crypto payments at the venue** introduced at premiere, earmarked toward an NFT\n\n- **Nouns merch collaboration**, relaunching our webshop with community art. Merch also available at venue.\n\n- **Script released CC0**, any theatre anywhere can perform it in any language, consistent with Nouns' own open-source ethos\n\nThat last point matters. Nouns funds a production that can replicate itself.\n\n---\n\n## This is already working\n\n![description](https://i.imgur.com/vhZenpm.png)\n\n*Our Shakespeare production. Seen by 8,000+ people and still touring Sweden*\n\nMost proposals ask: will this work? We already ran the experiment.\n\n\u2705 Front page of Sweden's biggest regional newspaper, without funding\n\n\u2705 Coverage reaching 4M+ readers nationally, without funding\n\n\u2705 A national political debate on cultural funding, without funding\n\n\u2705 Shakespeare production reached 8,000+ people and is still on tour\n\n\u2705 Doubled our venue capacity, without funding\n\n![description](https://i.imgur.com/w588EA0.jpeg)\n\n\"We're leaving the Swedish Culture System.\" 100 likes in 24 hours. Our community didn't hesitate.\n\nThey are already watching. When voting opens, we'll follow it live on Instagram, bringing our 10,000 followers along for every update.\n\nThis proposal is about scaling what already works.\n\nWe're publishing this on **May 1st**, Sweden's Workers' Day, historically tied to challenging unfair systems. That's intentional.\n\n---\n\n## What Nouns makes possible\n\n| Without Nouns | With Nouns |\n\n|---|---|\n\n| We told the story | We *become* the story |\n\n| Media covered us once | Media follows a 3-year production |\n\n| We sparked a debate | We stage the debate, literally |\n\n| People heard about Nouns | People *experience* Nouns |\n\nAs one supportive voter put it last time: Nouns could be the A24 of arts funding \u2014 building a reputation for backing things that matter, without needing to shout the brand. We think this production is both: genuinely great art and explicitly Nounish. That combination is rare.\n\n---\n\n## The numbers, honestly\n\nWe've dropped the Discord conversion estimates from the last proposal. They were based on a misunderstanding of how Nouns is structured and some figures were simply wrong. We'd rather be straight with you.\n\n| Channel | Reach |\n\n|---|---|\n\n| Live performances (150 seats, 3 years) | 7,000+ people |\n\n| Own social media (10,000 followers + organic) | 15,000+ people |\n\n| Media coverage \u2014 already proven, will continue | 4M+ in first cycle alone |\n\nWe will track and share ticket sales, QR code scans, social engagement, and press coverage. We report these KPIs openly to the community throughout the production.\n\n---\n\n## The press didn't stop at the news story\n\n![Article_Snart ar inte ens krypto ett alternativ](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1f8jsATZl.png)\n\nThe culture editor of G\u00f6teborgs-Posten followed the news with a full opinion column. He ended it with this:\n\n> *\"If things continue at this pace, the physical spaces where we can still look each other in the eye may soon be gone.

Big change! We added a concrete financial return (5% of all ticket sales back to the Nouns treasury, ~$24,500 over the run, making the net ask ~$15,500). Also made a stronger investment case with a full breakdown of what the marketing is worth benchmarked against other funded proposals. The story hasn't changed but the business case just got stronger.\n\n---\n\n# 1. Background: We tried crypto instead of public funding. It didn't get funded. It became national news anyway.\n\nA theatre denied grants for 13 years turned to Nouns. The story reached 4 million readers across Sweden's biggest newspapers, triggered a national political debate, and ended up on the desk of Sweden's culture minister.\n\nWe did all of that without receiving any actual funding.

We didn't get the votes, but something unexpected happened.\n\nThe story of a theatre turning to crypto instead of the state became national news in Sweden. G\u00f6teborgs-Posten, the city's main newspaper with 500,000 daily readers, ran us as the front page of their Saturday culture edition. Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest national paper with 4 million daily readers, picked it up the same week.\n\n![GP article photo](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJI9tsAT-l.png)\n\n*G\u00f6teborgs-Posten \u2014 500,000 daily readers.

A theatre applying to a crypto DAO, without receiving funding, had triggered a national political debate.\n\n**That media storm from an application alone, with zero funding.

In any language. For free. So not just a production, but a template. The story of a theatre saved by a DAO can replicate itself every time another theatre is denied funding. \n\n---\n# 3. Business Case: A good investment needs to be FEASIBLE, DESIRABLE and VIABLE. \n\n---\n\n## FEASIBLE? \u2705 YES, We have done this before\n\n**13 years of uninterrupted productions.** No public subsidy. No safety net. Just audiences coming back.\n\nOur most recent show, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, has been seen by 8,000+ people and is still touring Sweden nationally. Same team. Same format. Proven chemistry. And in 2025 we doubled our venue capacity without any external funding, by betting on ourselves.\n\n**The risk here is not \"can they pull it off.\" We have the venue and proven experience.** \n\n![Shakespeare action shot](https://i.imgur.com/VZpnXdc.jpeg)\n\n*The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Seen by 8,000+ people and still on tour*\n\n---\n\n## DESIRABLE? \u2705 YES, Our audience is ready & waiting\n\nOur audience is curious, well-educated, culturally hungry people between 25 and 40, **exactly the kind of audience that could be intreresting for Nouns to tap into.** They read articles, they care about politics, and they have never bought an NFT.\nThis audience has been built over a decade. They keep coming back. They bring friends. They fill 150 seats. And they are already invested in this specific story. **We know this show will sell tickets**\n\n![audience_bord18](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJGO0ucbMg.jpg)\n*Our loyal audience is waiting for us to announce the next show.*\n\n---\n\n## VIABLE? \u2705 YES, here is the full picture\n\n**The investment**\n\n$40,000 covers scriptwriting, production and staging, cast and crew salaries, and marketing and media activation. Everything beyond this is covered by the theatre: venue, ongoing operations, and additional labour.\n\n| Item | Cost |\n|---|---|\n| Script & Creative Development | $6,000 |\n| Cast & Director Salaries | $11,000 |\n| Stage Design & Costumes | $8,000 |\n| Marketing & Media Activation | $7,000 |\n| Travel & Tour Logistics | $6,000 |\n| Contingency | $2,000 |\n| **Total requested** | **$40,000** |\n\n**5% of ticket revenue returned to the DAO**\n\n| | |\n|---|---|\n| Ticket price | ~$70 |\n| Projected audience | 7,000 over 3 years |\n| Gross ticket revenue | ~$490,000 |\n| 5% DAO share | **~$24,500 returned** |\n\n**The net cost to Nouns is approximately $15,500. More than half comes back.**\n\nAt 150 seats and 90% average capacity, each show brings in around 135 people. To reach 7,000 attendees over three years we need approximately 52 shows, around 17 per year. Our Shakespeare production consistently played at that capacity. We will report actual ticket numbers to the DAO quarterly.\n\n---\n\n## What is the marketing worth?\n\nMost visibility proposals are evaluated on reach alone. But **reach is a poor measure of marketing value**. A billboard seen by a million people who forget it in five seconds is worth less than a story told to a thousand people who carry it home.\n\nA more complete picture looks like this:\n\n**MARKETING IMPACT = Reach \u00d7 Audience Relevance \u00d7 Engagement Level \u00d7 Campaign Duration \u00d7 Credibility of Messenger**\n\nHere is how this proposal compares to other excellent proposals the community has supported:\n\n| | Indonesia Sculpture | Underwater Reef | **2L\u00e5ng Theatre** |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| **Reach** | ~29,000/month | 500k\u20131M/year | **7,000 live + ~4M via press** |\n| **Audience relevance** | General tourists | Eco-tourists | Culturally engaged, 25\u201340, educated, not yet crypto-native |\n| **Engagement level** | Glance | Watch | **Experience** (120 min of live emotional storytelling) |\n| **Active marketing duration** | Static after installation | Static after installation | **3 years of active performances, press cycles, and tour dates** |\n| **Credibility of messenger** | Tourist landmark | Eco-tourism landmark | **13-year trusted cultural community** |\n| **Financial return to DAO** | None | None | **~$24,500** |\n\nThe sculpture and the reef serve a different purpose as they build presence. This show builds understanding. An audience member watches Nouns save a theatre, laughs, feels something, and goes home with a story to tell. That creates advocates.\n\nAnd because the script is CC0, any theatre anywhere can perform it. The message keeps spreading after the funding stops.\n\n---\n\n## The ask, team, and timeline\n\n**$40,000**, with 5% of ticket sales (~$24,500) returned to the DAO.

More about that in the appendix below*\n\n---\n\n# About the \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 Clubhouse\n\n![Outdoor view](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJ-O1D-Gfx.jpg)\n\nhere's a walkthrough\n\n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js48gPf-BPo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js48gPf-BPo)\n\nFind a lot more details in the candidate [here.](https://www.nouns.game/candidates/0xf84a5fd946a7714c6d48508fa8292c8c5037b5a8--clubhouse-chapter-1)\n\n---\n\n# Incubating the \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 Clubhouse\n\n**Objective: drive Clubhouse membership sign-ups with committed membership deposits.**\n\nBefore committing to a lease, a fit-out or a legal structure, this stage proves the demand. \n\nInstead of asking the DAO to fund a venue on the strength of a thesis, Stage 1 runs the Clubhouse as a travelling and iterative club program across the western Algarve.\n\nThe proof is money down: committed membership deposits from people who want a place in the Clubhouse before it exists.\n\n---\n\n# How deposits work\n\nA deposit is the commitment gate for Clubhouse membership. It is designed to be real proof of demand while protecting the people who put money down before the venue exists.\n\nThe terms are simple:\n\n1. **Committed, not refundable on a whim.** A deposit signals a genuine intent to join. It is not a soft pledge or an expression of interest. \n2. **Returned in full if the Clubhouse does not open or the membership does not prove to be viable.** \n3. **Converts on opening.** Once the Clubhouse is confirmed and opens, each deposit converts to membership credit, earmarked against the member's year-one fees and the venue's first-year fixed costs. \n\n---\n\n# Who is this for?\n\n## Primary Target Audience:\n\n**1) Nouners.** Why do I start with \"Nouners\"? mainly because the Clubhouse \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 is made for you in mind at all times. It will feel familiar, safe, interesting, nounish but with a Portuguese twist to it. A place where you can also send friends and family to, when they are in the region to experience Nouns offchain.\n2) Residents and tourists of the Algarve who work in the creative, crypto/web3 and ai industries.\n3) People who are interested in recreational social activities and sensory experiences.\n4) Millenials and GenZers.\n5) People like us.\n\n![NounsWorldOfApps_Final-138](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Bk9utI-Gfx.jpg)\n\n# Two Signature Events, running as a funnel\n\n![event pop ups](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1vn1vmzMe.jpg)\n\nTop of funnel: Sip & Swing\nMid of funnel + first point of conversion: Creative and art workshops\n\nBoth formats exist for one reason: to build attention and demand for Club membership, and to turn that demand into committed deposits.\n\nI will also experiment with other formats, to capture relevant demand.\n\nFor the signature event formats, I'm leaning into the experience from hosting Haus of Nouns in NYC and Nouns Town LA as well as the insights I gained through my [client work](https://benjaminlatsko.com/) in consulting and strategy for brands like adidas, Hugo Boss, keen, Starbucks and others.\n\nEvent formats which people like us are gravitating towards are:\n\n1. Recreational, social sports activities \n2. Sensory experiences \n\nThis is especially true for Millenials and GenZers.\n\nApart from that, as we host the events and produce media, our socials will be used for more ToV and MoF traffic drivers.\n\n---\n\n## Sip & Swing\n\nA roadshow across different golf courses in the area, built as a recurring event pop up. \n\nEach edition pairs the social golf format with a Nouns Maker Space pop-up, where guests can customise garments such as t-shirts on the spot. \n\nThe pop-up does double duty: \n\n1. It draws people in \n2. it converts curiosity into a next step: \n a) booking a creative workshop, \n b) placing a membership deposit there and then, or in follow-up. \n\nHere's a sketch of the maker space station I want to build for these events.\n\n![Maker Space Station](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hy27ENYGzg.jpg)\n\nA few more examples from Sip & Swing events: [https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ61zMBNwqZ/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ61zMBNwqZ/) [https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ7YlMloGkU/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ7YlMloGkU/)\n\n---\n\n## Creative and art workshops\n\nSmaller, deeper sessions for the people the roadshow brings in. \n\nThese move a casual first contact toward genuine engagement with the Clubhouse idea, and toward membership.\n\n---\n\n# When are we ready for Stage 2, the Clubhouse?\n\nWe are ready for the Clubhouse if and when committed membership deposits cover the first-year fixed costs of the proposed Clubhouse:\n\n- annual rent of the proposed venue \n- annual licences for commercial use of the property \n- annual insurances \n- annual operating costs of the non-profit association \n\n**Target: 25,000 EUR (approx. 28,750 USD) in committed membership deposits.**\n\n**Timeline: 6-9 months.**\n\nHitting that figure proves two things at once: \n\n1. that the membership is real, with money behind it \n2. it can carry the venue's standing costs before a single operational euro is spent. \n\nIf the target hasn't been met after 6 months, I'll extend the efforts within a reasonable timeframe, depending on the results by then, but no longer than an additional 3 months. \n\nMissing it is also a result.\nIt tells us, that the model needs rethinking or is not viable before anyone signs a lease. In that case, deposits are returned in full as set out above.\n\n---\n\n# Additional Partners\n\nThe upside of this phased approach is that I can establish partnerships to local businesses, beverage companies, small/mid-sized golf brands and others that are also going to be relevant to the Clubhouse.\n\nIn fact, the event based partnership is an easier entry point to start the relationships and grow from there.\n\nPlausible and possible examples:\n\n- Beverage brand sponsors event with product -> sponsors monthly beverages and fridge in the clubhouse \n- Coffee brand sponsors event -> sponsors coffee machine & equipment in the clubhouse \n- ... \n\n---\n\n# Other experiments\n\nA few things that I'm planning on experimenting with:\n\n1. [Gnosis Circle Groups](https://world.gnosis.io/) I find this to be extremely interesting to BD with other local businesses, lean into additional partners to bring the club to life by creating an additional value layer for the club. \n2. Experiment with other recreational sports activity events, such as coastal hikes, field trips, etc.\n The goal is to carve out and shape a Club membership that can grow beyond the region. Think SoHo membership but cypherpunk, connected, real. Nouns. \n\nI'm also committing to involving the Nouners community through calls to bring forward ideas, iterate, etc. on a regular basis.\n\nPlease get in touch if you're interested.\n\n---\n\n# Media + Publishing\n\nWe'll produce and publish event documentaries from all events.\n\nExpect content to be published on a rolling basis, multiple times a week.\n\nIn clips, we'll ensure \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 visiblity.\n\n**Any media produced at workshops that are tailored towards kids will not be published and only shared with parents to protect the children's safety and privacy.**\n\n# What benjamin.latsko.eth deliver?\n\nI run Stage 1 end to end. The compensation line funds one senior operator covering five workstreams across the six months:\n\n- membership program development \n- branding \n- marketing \n- website and infrastructure for membership operations \n- event coordination and production \n\nThese are also all areas that I offer as services to my clients through my studio. I added a short \"about\" section below in the appendix.\n\nThe stage is deliberately labour-led. The kit is light, the venues are borrowed, and the cost is the work that turns a thesis into a paying membership.\n\n---\n\n# Budget\n\n| Item | EUR | USD |\n| -------------------------------------------------- | --------- | --------- |\n| Mobile Maker Space | 3,450.00 | 3,967.50 |\n| Heat Press | 500.00 | 575.00 |\n| Plotter | 450.00 | 517.50 |\n| Tools & Accessories | 500.00 | 575.00 |\n| Garments for Makerspace | 500.00 | 575.00 |\n| Setup for Pop Up | 1,500.00 | 1,725.00 |\n| | | |\n| Marketing Working Budget | 2,000.00 | 2,300.00 |\n| Signage + Branding + Marketing Materials | 1,500.00 | 1,725.00 |\n| Website + Infrastructure for Membership Operations | 500.00 | 575.00 |\n| | | |\n| Other Items | 32,100.00 | 36,915.00 |\n| Compensation | 30,000.00 | 34,500.00 |\n| Liability Insurance | 600.00 | 690.00 |\n| Misc for experiments | 1,500.00 | 1,725.00 |\n| | | |\n| Total | 37,550.00 | 43,180.00 |\n\n*Conversions at 1.15 EUR to USD.*\n\n# What about future funding?\n\nWith this incubation stage proven, I'll return to the DAO with evidence rather than a forecast and a refined proposal: real conversion data, a paying membership, and a grounded, evidence-based estimate of the Clubhouse's potential and how the venue can best be used for greatest impact. \n\nStage 2 then funds the step from a validated membership to a permanent home, including the fit-out and setup capital, and the founding of the association to govern it. \n\nIn Stage 1, I'm also exploring the feasibility of bringing the governing part of the association onchain. I will report on my findings accordingly.\n\n---\n\n# Treasury governance\n\nFor some, this might make a difference in how they view this proposal and my ask.\n\nFrom previous proposals, I have returned over 40k USDC of unspent budget to the DAO. Without anyone having to chase.\n\nFunds were returned not because of bad budget planning, but because things like \"live music\" were replaced with a spotify playlist or budgeted speaker fees were not needed, because no fees were needed for Nouns Town.\n\n---\n\n# Hi, I'm Benjamin Latsko\n\nI run a creative studio with which I've been providing client services in marketing, brand strategy and coaching since 2013.\n\n[Client portfolio](https://benjaminlatsko.com/) spans across adidas, Hugo Boss, amazon, keen footwear, nivea, starbucks and many more. \n\nMy story with Nouns starts way back in early 2022 with SharkDAO.\n\nA few select personal highlights from contributing to Nouns:\n\n- SharkDAO member and contributor since the early days \n- Nouns Town LA \n- founded and curated butter.wtf, probably the most loved merch shop in Nouns \n- Haus of Nouns \n- Nouns GG + adidas collaboration \n- World of Apps \n- Ethereum App Town Hall \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 \n- Octant x Nouns partnership (which unfortunately has been cancelled) \n- bought Pins from Klim and gifted them to Tom Sachs and his team back in the day when he became a Nouner \n\nI'm now here to build something to last for Nouns, the \u2310\u25e8-\u25e8 Clubhouse.", "category": "Events & Marketing", "status": "DEFEATED", "passed": false} {"id": 980, "title": "Nouns Retro Grant Proposal: France Tour 2026", "description": "# Nouns Retro Grant Proposal: France Tour 2026\n\n**\u201c\u308f\u305f\u3057\u306e\u547d\u306e\u7269\u8a9e\u201d\n\u201cStory of my life\u201d\u00d7 Nouns Global Children\u2019s Art Project**\n\n![F2E07126-EEC4-4B72-B572-577165301779](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SywyvSFWMg.jpg)\n\n**Public Good Achivement\uff08\u516c\u5171\u6027\uff09** This project leverages Nouns DAO funds to deliver clear public good through children\u2019s creativity development, international cultural exchange, and social inclusion education.

Following a review of current DAO operations, activity levels, and fiscal requirements, it has been determined that maintaining a redundant administrative layer is unnecessary and represents an inefficient use of the Nouns DAO treasury.\n\n### Motivation\n\nNouns DAO currently retains two DUNA administrators. While redundant support was initially envisioned as a safeguard, the current operational state of the DAO does not necessitate dual admin coverage.\n\n- **Operational Requirements:** Current governance activity and proposal throughput are at levels that are fully managed by a single administrator. \n- **Fiscal Prudence:** The secondary admin incurs an annual cost of $60,000 USD. Given that Nouns DAO is currently experiencing a period of low auction activity...exacerbated by existing reserve price constraints...it is the responsibility of the community to eliminate non essential outflows. \n- **Alignment:** Capital preservation is critical during market downturns or periods of low treasury velocity. Removing this redundant expense aligns the DAO\u2019s spending with its current operational reality. \n\n### Specification\n\n- **Termination:** The contract/agreement with Satori shall be terminated effective immediately \n- **Payment Cessation:** All recurring payments to Satori shall cease upon the effective date of termination. \n- **Governance:** The primary DUNA administrator will remain as the sole point of contact for administrative, compliance, and regulatory filing requirements for the Nouns DUNA. \n\n### Financial Impact\n\n- **Immediate Savings:** $39,500 USD from the remaining money in the contract \n- **Treasury Impact:** This move improves the DAO\u2019s runway by reducing fixed overhead costs that provide no marginal utility under the current cadence of governance.", "category": "Governance & Protocol", "status": "CANCELLED", "passed": false} {"id": 982, "title": "Delegate Treasury Nouns to Nouncil.eth", "description": "# Delegate Treasury Nouns to Nouncil.eth\n\n# Delegate Treasury Nouns to Nouncil.eth\n\n![](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrQaxex2t681wZNxE9ry4hat1BaJNKj1XWyvnmnmeLDf/nouncil.jpeg)\n\nThis proposal delegates treasury Nouns to Nouncil.eth, an open body of Nounish participants where anyone can join and each member has one vote.\n\n[nouncil.club](http://nouncil.club)\n\n[](http://nouncil.club)\n\nCurrently Nouncil is 31 active participants (we just removed anyone who dropped under 69% voter participation).\n\n\n\nhttps://nouncil.up.railway.app/#members\n\n\n\nNouncil currently controls 37 votes, the group meets weekly to discuss props, with no compensation.
