# Appoint Index as DUNA Compliance Administrator

## TL;DR

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

The Compliance Administrators’ duties, responsibilities and authorization to act on behalf of the DAO are enumerated in the Bylaws set forth in [Proposal 727](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.

## Introduction

Hi, it’s Index again. I’m applying to continue in the role of Nouns DUNA Compliance Administrator (or Reserve).

Over the last year, I’ve 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’s long history and unique culture.

Some of that work included:

- Coordinating with the Foundation and its advisors to ensure a seamless transition to the Wyoming DUNA
- Working to establish new processes for the DUNA in line with legal, tax, and accounting advice
- Supporting compliant payments and grants, including the return of funds from cancelled or adjusted proposals
- Engaging with external parties to legitimize the DUNA through discussions and required documentation

Outside of the DUNA work, I’ve also contributed to Nouns in a variety of ways over the years:

- **Noundry contributions**: Index Card head, Curling Stone head, broken heart accessory
- **Meta-governance support**: Lil Nouns, Nouncil, Lil Nouncil
- **ZeroWeight**: Experimented with providing a voice to community members without voting weight
- **Tabs**: Built a resource-focused dashboard for DAO information
- **Nouns.game**: Working on a Nouns client funded strictly through the incentive program, most known for the crystal ball

## Modifications

I think the Compliance Administrator role is already well defined, and it is best for the DAO’s overall health if it remains that way.

Based 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.

## Eligibility

This 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:

- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window.
- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC.
- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs.

## Closing Statement

I’m grateful for the time I’ve spent with Nouns so far, from the first FOMO and OG Noundry, through the different “seasons” 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’m excited to see how Nouns continues to change everyday, forever.

# DUNA Context and Admin Info

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

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

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

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

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

## Administrator Workload and Day-to-Day Responsibilities

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

**Proposal and Legal Oversight**

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

**Grant and Treasury Compliance**

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

**KYC and Contributor Onboarding**

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

**Operations and Administration**

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

**Community Transparency**

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

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

## Administrator Duties

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

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

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

## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities

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

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

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

## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing

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

## Indemnification

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

## Term

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

## Additional Governing Documents

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

## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement

The proposed compensation for **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.

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

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

## Introduction

hello all, i’m wylin, aka, Ian Wylie Hedrick.

since 2019, i’ve worked with non-profit organizations in operational roles, including founding my own organization through a fiscal sponsorship with the Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago.

in 2024, along with another DAO member, i performed extensive research over a period of several weeks to determine if the DUNA structure could work for Nouns DAO. this research was presented by the other DAO member at a meeting in the Cayman Islands to discuss the corporate restructuring of Nouns, which - in combination with the work of other qualified outside advisors - lead to the restructuring of Nouns as a DUNA.

most recently, i’ve spent 2025 as a project manager for a US-based private charitable family foundation, the Shwoundation, an organization with significant compliance considerations - including considerations around crypto & blockchain.

this role has involved creating multiple new non-profit legal entities, coordinating with legal & tax advisors, software developers, and grantees. my day-to-day responsibilities for the foundation generally overlap the responsibilities of the Nouns Compliance Administrators as defined by the bylaws, previous proposals, and current candidates.

given my depth of experience in creating and managing  non-profit organizations, i’d like to throw my hat in the ring for Reserve Admin.

as a non-New York resident, my election would ensure the continuation of the DAO's fiat/ banking services in the event a New York resident is elected for Compliance Administrator.

## Modifications

this proposal is specifc to the Reserve Compliance Administrator as outlined in the DUNA bylaws:

(b) Reserve Administrator(s) Responsibilities and Powers.

- i. 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.
- ii. Upon a Compliance Administrator’s request, a Reserve Administrator may advise such Compliance Administrator on matters related to the Compliance Administrator’s duties and responsibilities.
- 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.

if 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.

## Eligibility

This 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:

- Nominees must post the required nomination statement on this proposal.
- Nominees must secure sponsorship from another Nouner, except current administrators who may self-sponsor.
- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window.
- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 6/1/26 and end 5/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC.
- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs.

## Introduction

Hello everyone, I am submitting this proposal to formally appoint myself, Gramajo, as a DUNA Compliance Administrator Reserve (Part Time).

I have been an active member of the Nouns ecosystem since September 2024. 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.

I 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—precisely what this role demands.

As 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—directly mirroring the DUNA Admin's responsibilities.

I 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—essential for grant compliance and tax readiness. Recently won my company hackathon for AI and Innovation.

What 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.

## Modifications

I am seeking a part time role specifically as a DUNA Admin Reserve.

## Eligibility

This 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:

- Candidate proposals must be submitted onchain during the designated submission window.
- Compensation streams for all admin candidates must begin 2/1/26 and end 1/31/27 and shall not exceed 100,000 USDC.
- Nominees must refrain from influencing the election through voting, meta-governance, or governance discussions, including but not limited to Lil Nouns, Nouncil, or Nogs.

## Closing Statement

Regardless 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.

This 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.

Over the past decade leading legal operations at companies, I've built the exact systems DUNA requires—vendor coordination, compliance documentation, KYC processes, and audit-ready workflows. I've managed operational complexity while maintaining regulatory compliance. I can bring this expertise to Nouns.

## Administrators' Participation in DAO Activities

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

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

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

## Opening of Bank Accounts for Fiat Payment Processing

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

## Indemnification

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

## Term

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

## Additional Governing Documents

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

## DUNA Admin Payment and Administrator Agreement

The proposed compensation for 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.

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

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

Nouns Bus

# Nouns Bus

## A Rolling Cultural Activation + IRL Billboard for Nouns

- ETHBoulder (Feb 13–15) + ETHDenver (Feb 17–20)
- Powered by Nouns x OnchainCreators™
- “Do Good, Have Fun” (Colorado Edition)

# Summary:

### This proposal is for a Nouns Bus, produced in collaboration with Onchain Creators™, running across Boulder and Denver during ETH Colorado.

### The bus is not a logo placement or sponsorship asset.

It’s a moving cultural object that brings Nouns values into the real world.

It will function as:

- A **rolling billboard and cultural artifact** traveling Boulder ↔ Denver for \~2 weeks
- An **open canvas** for Nounish community art
- A **creator hub** for filming, storytelling, and Rally Challenge submissions
- **Transportation for Nouns** (capacity permitting) across key conference moments
- A **high-visibility public activation** parked at strategic locations (including ETHDenver  & ETH Boulder venues)
- A **mobile Nouns merch hub** where attendees can pick up Noggles, Nounish Friends + more!
- A **curation pipeline** culminating at ETHDenver in collaboration with **Base + Refraction**

This is not just branding — it’s how we **reinforce Nouns culture** and share it with the world through participation, not promotion.

# Why This Matters:

**Nouns is the culture layer of Ethereum. Nouns Bus invites the public into that conversation.**

- A real-world embodiment of: **memes → culture → participation**
- A vehicle for:
  - creator onboarding
  - cultural storytelling
  - community joy + experimentation

# Deliverables:

## The Nouns Bus Concept

**The Bus is the activation.**

A moving media object + cultural symbol.

Key points:

- Drives and parks between **Denver → Boulder → Denver**
- Visible at major conference touchpoints
- Functions as a *recurring set* to:
  - record interviews
  - capture content
  - shoot “bus moments” (arrival, pickup, crowd scenes, etc.)

The bus becomes part of the story, not a sponsor logo passing through it.

## Visibility + Advertising Value + Cultural Reach

### The “2-week billboard”

**For two weeks, the Nouns Bus is a constant presence in Colorado:**

- On roads between Denver + Boulder
- Parked at high-foot-traffic locations
- Regular appearances near ETHBoulder and ETHDenver event venues and prime activations

Key moments include:

- **In front of ETHDenver venue** (major photo + foot traffic opportunity)
- In front of ETH Boulder venues
- Integrated into daily creator movement
- Captured repeatedly across creator content

This is *earned media*, not paid impressions. The bus shows up naturally across creator content again and again.

## Art & Design (Bus vinyl wrap)

**The bus will be wrapped with Nounish illustrations and designs**

- Primary art designed by **[Camilita](https://farcaster.xyz/camilita)**
- Designed as a Nouns cultural artifact, not an ad
- Designed to be photographed, shared, memed

Design elements to include:

- Nouns heads / Noggles motif
- “Do Good, Have Fun”
- ETHDenver + ETHBoulder edition vibe
- QR code for creator rally submissions

## Open Call for Nounish Art (Community Activation)

To extend participation beyond a single artist, we’ll open a **public call to the Nouns community** for Nounish artwork to be featured on the bus.

This turns the bus into a **rolling gallery of community creativity**, not just a wrap.

**How it works:**

- Nouns community members are invited to submit:
  - illustrations
  - visual art
  - playful Nounish expressions aligned with the theme
- Selected works are:
  - featured directly on the bus (vinyl panels / windows / interior placements)
  - credited to the artist
  - documented through creator content during the Creator Rally

The bus reflects many voices, not one.

## Creator Challenge Integration

This is where it becomes **interactive**.

Bus features a large QR code:

**“Submit to the Onchain Creator Rally”**

Challenge theme:

### Do Good, Have Fun

This continues the Rally format successfully tested in Buenos Aires during Devconnect.

Why this matters:

- It’s a living theme, not a one-off slogan. The theme is flexible and human.
- Reinforces Nouns as optimistic, fun, cultural, public-good aligned
- Anyone can participate without needing context or permission

Deliverables:

- submissions minted/published
- selected highlights and winners
- recap content
- “Nouns Bus content gallery”

![](https://outrageous-fiction-fe4.notion.site/image/attachment%3A26d51b09-3ceb-4634-a690-bf34700a9f9b%3A2026-01-14_21.41.58.jpg?table=block&id=2e9cd830-bd35-8051-8e10-c7ef6b4e328f&spaceId=8e09ce20-c0aa-4784-8a5d-f08d97e03243&width=1420&userId=&cache=v2)

## Curation & Cultural Showcase at ETHDenver

The Nouns Bus activation culminates at **ETHDenver** with a **curated cultural showcase** presented in a high-traffic location inside the event with our partners ***Base + Refraction***.

This moment brings everything together:

- **Nounish community art** submitted through the open call
- **Camilita's primary Nouns Bus artwork**
- **Creator Rally content** (video, photography, short-form storytelling)

All of it converges into a single, highly visible space that represents **Nouns as culture in motion**.

### What This Creates

- A clear narrative arc:

  ```
  **Community → Creation → Movement → Curation**
  ```
- A physical space where people can *experience* Nouns culture, not just hear about it
- A moment of recognition for artists and creators who participated throughout the week

Rather than dispersing content across feeds, this showcase **anchors it in one place**, reinforcing Nouns as a cultural center within Ethereum’s largest conference.

## Nouns Merch Hub

Throughout ETHBoulder and ETHDenver, the Nouns Bus will serve as a **mobile Nouns merch hub**, where attendees can pick up:

- **Noggles**
- **Nounish Friends**

Kindly donated by **Bigshot Toyworks (aka Bigshot Klim)**.

This turns the bus into a place people don’t just see — but **interact with and remember**.

### Documented, Not Just Distributed

Every merch interaction will be:

- filmed
- photographed
- shared by creators as part of the Rally

This turns simple giveaways into:

- cultural touchpoints
- onboarding moments
- lasting visual memories tied to Nouns

Merch moments became natural:

- photo ops
- conversation starters
- social content

This approach worked extremely well during the **Buenos Aires Rally**, where merch became a natural entry point into Nouns culture.

We’re expanding on what already works.

- It creates an open canvas for participation
- It becomes a public artifact people gather around
- It funds creators *in the real world*
- It turns memetics into shared experience

This is culture-building work.

Not marketing.

# Culture as an Onboarding Tool

OnchainCreators has a **proven track record of using culture as an effective onboarding mechanism** for creators entering the onchain ecosystem.

Rather than leading with tools or technical education, our activations focus on:

- shared experiences
- creative participation
- visible, welcoming entry points

This approach consistently lowers the barrier to entry and converts cultural curiosity into meaningful onchain engagement.

![](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)

### Case Study: Devconnect, Buenos Aires

At the **Onchain Creator Rally during Devconnect in Buenos Aires**, our activation successfully onboarded new creators and community members into onchain culture through:

- IRL challenges and open participation
- artist and creator-led storytelling
- public, social-first documentation

One notable example:

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

This outcome demonstrates a critical insight:

> The most effective onboarding doesn’t feel like onboarding. It feels like belonging.


# 🇮🇹 ⌐◨-◨ Nouns Renaissance — Italian Nonprofit + 501(c)(3) - Phase 1

# TL;DR

Nouns DAO needs a **compliant, globally deployable**, **tax-aware** funding and execution structure that does not require treasury surrender or governance vetoes.

The **Italian Nonprofit + U.S. 501(c)3 fiscal sponsor** structure is a strong candidate to achieve this, subject to Phase-1 legal, tax, and operational validation.

The current proposal seeks to validate this hypothesis through formal legal and tax analysis.

This is the first phase in a 3-prop sequence, structured as follows:

![](https://bafybeibvry22rm6pwf6bzehbf43o64synhdvmyxxkspe6u2kyhr7zq6wxe.ipfs.dweb.link?filename=11.jpeg)

**The aim is to foster a Renaissance of Nouns DAO, guided by four principles:**

1. Long term financial sustainability
2. Ability to operate globally in real-world contexts
3. Contributor safety, no new legal or fiscal risks
4. DAO governance and treasury remain fully nounish and onchain

---

# Benefits

## Expected ROI

This model is illustrative and contingent on the legal feasibility outcomes assessed in Phase 1. It is included to indicate the potential order of magnitude of economic impact, not to assert guaranteed savings.

The 21% U.S. federal tax rate is used as a simplifying assumption and will be explicitly validated or corrected as part of Phase 1 legal and tax analysis.

```
Assumptions:
• ETH inflow treated as taxable income at the entity level
• ~$600k/year recurring ETH inflow (daily auctions)
• 21% U.S. federal tax rate
• ~$126k/year current tax cost

---------------------------------------------------------
Year        Costs     Estimated entity-level   Net Result
		      tax exposure reduction
---------------------------------------------------------
Year 1      $145k              $126k           -$19k
Year 2      $75k               $126k           +$51k
Year 3      $75k               $126k           +$51k
Year 4+     $75k               $126k           +$51k / yr
---------------------------------------------------------

This analysis is illustrative and conservative, and does not
assume any increase of daily auctions revenue or additional
grant funding.
```

***Notes:***

- Costs = setup (year 1) + annual maintenance
- Savings increase if:
  - Daily auctions ETH increases, or
  - Additional funding (e.g. EU public grants) is secured

# Current Prop (Phase 1)

Recent discussions regarding the **Wyoming DUNA** have highlighted a **strong** need for legal clarity. To date, no deep regulatory analysis has been conducted to determine the most appropriate legal and tax structure for the DAO.

Also, community feedback has surfaced a key concern:

> 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 “workarounds.”

In 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**.

Before opening new entities or activating tax-optimization routes, the DAO funds a **time-boxed, paid consulting phase** to:

- fully assess **legal and fiscal risks**,
- evaluate compatibility with the **Wyoming DUNA** and the regulatory obligations applicable to U.S.-based operators,
- suggest **risk-mitigation strategies** to ensure the DAO can remain operational globally
- and present **clear go / no-go options** to Nouns.

## What this proposal does not do

- Does not create entities
- Does not move treasury funds
- Does not implement tax treatment
- Does not introduce governance vetoes
- Does not enable sanctions circumvention

This 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.

# Scope & Budget of this Prop

**Total Budget Requested: $46,000**

This funds a **6-week consulting mandate** covering four workstreams (see below)

**Cost Discipline & Scope Control**

This mandate is intentionally limited in duration (6 weeks), budget ($46k), and scope.

50% deliverable upfront with the second tranche streaming to the end of the project (w4 --> End).

Unlike prior engagements, no ongoing administrative roles, salaries, or entity maintenance costs are created by this proposal.

---

# Prop Deliverables:

For efficiency, the consulting starts from a **working hypothesis**:

> *Italian Nonprofit + U.S. 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor (The Giving Block), based on Veracura’s existing success case.*

At the end of this phase, Nouns will receive 4 **concrete deliverables**:

**1. Formal Legal Opinion**

A written legal opinion assessing structuring options for the DAO, including the interaction between the Wyoming DUNA and external nonprofit entities, and the liability exposure of DAO operators and signers.

**2. Tax Feasibility Report**

A comprehensive analysis of compliant tax and entity-structuring pathways, outlining what is and is not legally possible, the limits of fiscal sponsorship for DAOs, prior failure points and implications for DAO operators and entities across jurisdictions.

**3. Italian Nonprofit Operational Blueprint**

Preparatory work to assess and design the establishment of a nonprofit entity in Italy, including an overview of available nonprofit structures, establishment requirements, and a full assessment of setup and ongoing costs.

**4. ETH Routing for Tax Optimisation**

Assessment and mapping of whether a legally compliant mechanism could exist to enable tax-efficient or tax-deductible treatment of ETH inflows from Nouns’ daily auctions, while preserving DAO’s treasury custody and governance autonomy.

---

### Operator Safety Summary

This proposal does not expose contributors to new legal obligations, does not alter governance, does not create entities, and does not implement tax treatment.

It exists solely to give the DAO - and its operators - clear, documented answers about what is safe, unsafe, possible, or impossible.

Any structure evaluated must remain compliant with applicable U.S. and EU sanctions regimes and must not enable circumvention of such restrictions.

Any further execution would require a **separate proposal and governance vote**.


Fund Nouns Payer Contract with USDC

# Fund Nouns Payer Contract with USDC

The [Nouns DAO Payer contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0xd97Bcd9f47cEe35c0a9ec1dc40C1269afc9E8E1D) currently has a balance of \~69k USDC. This proposal funds the Payer contract with another 200k USDC.

This ensures that any combination of streams attached to admin candidate proposals can execute correctly, while maintaining an additional buffer for future proposals requesting USDC. The DAO currently holds nearly 800k USDC in the treasury, and these funds can be returned to the main treasury at any time via a proposal.


# Nouns x Origami Art: Dissolving Borders from Japan to the United Nations HQ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**The Impact of Our Method:**

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## 5. Detailed Mission Budget (USDC)

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

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

"ROADMAP"

## 6. Conclusion: Turning Isolation into Pride

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

Nouns @ Eth Denver Activation

# Nouns @ Eth Denver Activation

## Proposal: Nouns ETHDenver Activation (Revised)

### Summary

This proposal requests **$16,000** to support a focused Nouns presence across the full Denver week — **ETH Boulder and ETHDenver combined (Feb 13–21)** — centered on builders, culture, and documentation. 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 — food, space, media, operations, and community support.

## What ETHDenver Is Offering in Good Faith ( Feb 17-21 )

ETHDenver has offered the following opportunities to the nounish ecosystem **without requiring a traditional sponsorship tier**:

- **Invitations to register and speak on the ETHDenver BUIDL Mentor Stage**, allowing nounish builders to host workshops publicly.
- **Designated presence at the ETHDenver MakerSpace**, with access to 3D printing, microcontrollers and hardware experimentation, screen printing, and physical prototyping.
- **Designated presence in the ETHDenver Art Gallery**, with support for artist coordination and interviews.
- **Facilitation support from ETHDenver organizers** to help integrate nounish programming across these spaces.

These opportunities provide access and visibility, but do not include staffing, food, or coordination.

## ETH Boulder Programming (Feb 13–15)

In addition to ETHDenver, the nounish ecosystem will have an active presence at **ETH Boulder (Feb 13–15)**, which serves as the opening chapter of the Denver week.

A 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:

- **DAOs & Coordinative Tooling**
- Practical governance infrastructure
- Community-owned coordination models
- Tools and experiments emerging from the nouniverse

The 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.

## What This Proposal Actually Funds

This proposal is **not** about buying a standard ETHDenver sponsorship package.

ETHDenver 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 — such as a dedicated lounge presence and on-site coordination around the Nouns Bus — are contingent on Nouns participating as a sponsor.

What 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.

## Budget Breakdown — $16,000 Total

**1) Food Sponsorship for Hackathon Builders — $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.

**2) Nouns Lounge Space — $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.

**3) Media Production — $2,500** Production of a **\~15-minute nounish mini-documentary** covering the full Denver week — **ETH Boulder and ETHDenver combined (Feb 13–21)**.
The film will document:

- BUIDL Mentor Stage talks
- MakerSpace and Art Gallery activity
- Nouns Lounge programming
- Broader nounish activity throughout the week
- **Nouns Bus coverage**, including interviews with builders, artists, and community members

**Production Team (working at discounted community rates):**

- **Xtatic Productions Limited**
- **Executive Producer:** Timothy Carter
- **Director:** Calib Perkins
- **Production Manager:** Aaden Beall
- **Videographer:** Douglas Cheffield

Deliverables include one polished \~15-minute film and short clips for social and community sharing.

**4) Discretionary / Merch / Community Spend — $3,500** Flexible budget to support:

- Community merch and printed materials
- Operations and logistics across the Denver week
- Travel, gas, and coordination costs related to **ETH Boulder**, including the accepted half-day track
- Small on-site needs that arise during the week

This allows the team to stay responsive and maintain continuity across events.

## Additional High-Impact Accommodation (Sponsor-Contingent)

If Nouns DAO participates as a sponsor, ETHDenver has also extended the following **at no additional sponsorship cost**:

- A **dedicated, on-site parking space for the Nouns Bus**, located **directly adjacent to the main venue entrance**.
- Organizers will **actively facilitate Nouns Bus programming**, including:
  - Integrating bus activations into MakerSpace and Art Gallery mini-talks
  - Supporting steward-led programming and introductions
  - Coordinating logistics and venue requirements (hours \~8am–1pm)
  - Integrating visits to the Nouns Bus and Lounge into the official ETHDenver scavenger hunt

This placement positions the Nouns Bus as a highly visible and easily accessible part of the overall campus experience, increasing participation and engagement.

## Funds Handling & Execution

Approved funds will be held in an **operational multisig vault** with a **3-of-4 signing threshold** to ensure transparency and shared oversight.

**Multisig Signers:**

- Willywonka.eth
- Bennedictvs.eth
- Gramajo.eth
- SwarthyHatter.eth

### Fund Allocation

- **$10,000** will be transferred to **SporkDAO** upon receipt of invoice (food sponsorship + Nouns Lounge space at ETHDenver).
- **$2,500** will be transferred to **Xtatic Productions Limited** for media production, documenting the full Denver week (**ETH Boulder + ETHDenver, Feb 13–21**).
- **$3,500** will remain in the multisig and be used for **operations, logistics, merch, and incidental expenses** across the full Denver week.

Discretionary 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.

## Why This Makes Sense

ETHDenver is offering access, space, and facilitation — 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’t about over-investing — it’s about **showing up well**.

## Closing

ETHDenver 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 — not a traditional sponsorship buy-in. Happy to refine scope or steward roles as needed.

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

Everything can, and maybe should, be a Noun.

Some would argue that we already have a werewolf. But I insist that this is a completely different category (cryptids), and in a collection that aspires to infinity, there is room for both the wolf and the werewolf.

This is my third attempt at the wolf. It was inspired by recent news about experiments using dire wolf's DNA to bring the species back to life. That idea made me feel the wolf deserved another chance to exist within Nouns as a head trait.

The question isn’t whether the wolf should belong in Nouns as a head.

The real question is whether this iteration of the wolf head is good enough to enter the infinite work of art.
