## Overview

This time, we are submitting a proposal for the realization of the following.

**①Increase package production
②Donate Kitpas
③Have midas become a certified instructor at headquarters
④Have Nouns members become instructors
⑤Send Kitpas to support members**

![Untitled-design](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByvzRajcll.jpg)

### ①Increase package production

Regarding Kitpas orders, since the minimum lot size is 1,000 sets, we will produce 1,000 sets next time.
The produced Kitpas will be used for donations to children worldwide, general sales, discounted pricing for instructors, and gifts for support members.

![low_IMG_5623](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/ByOjqjyhel.jpg)

### ②Donate Kitpas

We will send 50 sets each of this Kitpas, developed with the goal of reaching children around the world, to the members listed below.
This will cover the associated customs duties and shipping costs.

- [Benjamin](https://farcaster.xyz/latsko.eth)
- [mart](https://farcaster.xyz/alexandergt)
- [Natalie](https://farcaster.xyz/nataliecrue) and more...

![IMG_8619](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Bk-XNRj9ll.jpg)

### ③Have midas become a certified instructor at headquarters

![17](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G1c1zeAa4AEFvZt?format=jpg&name=large)

By completing the Midas Headquarters Certified Instructor Program and the Online Instructor Training Course, you will be able to conduct Kitpas Art Instructor training programs in native English for a global audience. Therefore, we aim to help the following individuals obtain their Kitpas Instructor certification through [midas](https://farcaster.xyz/portmidas).

![IMG_4589](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJUYKpi5le.jpg)

### ④Have Nouns members become instructors

The following members will serve as instructors.
(As these are our recommendations, if any decline, we will move on to the next candidate.)

- [Benjamin](https://farcaster.xyz/latsko.eth)
- [Davin](https://farcaster.xyz/davinoyesigye)

  ![image](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1RSt6knex.jpg)

  “Currently there is interest in the general public; therefore, the number of Nounish Kitpas Instructors will increase overtime. “

### ⑤Send Kitpas to support members

In developing our products, we've implemented native language checks across 17 countries. Because of this, we need to present Kitpas to our global partners who contributed to its development. However, simply doing so incurs various costs like shipping and customs duties. Therefore, these funds will be allocated to send gifts to the members listed below and other support members involved in related tasks.
For example, the following members provided language support:

### Day 3 — Culture & Community Track (Nov 18, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

### Summary

The Onchain Creators Challenge is a 3-day event bringing top digital storytellers together in Buenos Aires to produce viral-ready content that weaves Ethereum culture into global narratives.

For **Day 3**, we propose a full day dedicated to **Nouns culture and community**. Creators will gather in Palermo, Buenos Aires’ cultural hub, to create short-form content featuring **noggles, Nounish art, and Nouns-inspired public activations**.

![alt text](https://ik.imagekit.io/kupbkg0qp/5-1.jpg?updatedAt=1758106613949)

---

## Why NounsDAO Should Partner With This

1. **Governance as Public Good:** Independent research and builder education helps Nouns (and other DAOs) avoid cycles of folklore and purely anecdotal governance arguments.
2. **Practical Guidance:** Receive **actionable insights** from ecosystem builders and academic research—useful for governance improvements, contributor programs, and cross-DAO collaboration.
3. **Signal & Legitimacy:** Acknowledgment in academic outputs and permanent IPFS archives puts Nouns in the **footnotes of governance history**, complementary to our goal of being a **living testbed** for DAO innovation.
4. **Bridge to Ecosystem:** Creates a pipeline of relationships with builders, researchers, and governance innovators for future **NounsCon**, workshops, and collaboration opportunities.
5. **Public Goods Funding On-Ramp:** AthenaX Roundtable can also serves as a **lightweight gateway for builders who want to propose to NounsDAO**. Guests with public goods ideas can first share them on the Roundtable, gather early community feedback, and then take those learnings into a formal proposal.
6. **High Value: No operational work, no content creation burden**—pure brand association with high-quality educational content.

# On Nov 18, step into the App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨ at Devconnect 2025

# TL;DR

Building on the success and momentum from the *Haus of Nouns* series — with the most recent edition, *World of Apps* ⌐◨-◨ — we are doubling down to host the very first of its kind at Devconnect 2025:

**The Ethereum App Town Hall** ⌐◨-◨

On **18 November** we are taking over the Amphitheater at the main Devconnect venue to host the App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨, where 10 established teams will pull back the curtain on their challenges, wins, and roadmaps for 2026.

Like he did at World of Apps, Jason Chaskin will curate the speaker line up for the Town Hall.

I, Benjamin Latsko (latsko.eth), will also present a perspective on Nouns as one of the 10 presentations at the Ethereum App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨ — working title: *"Nouns, a Brand as an Application".*

Worth mentioning:

1. 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.
2. Wherever possible, Mono, Lex and I will collaborate closely to create a fully integrated Nouns experience, end-to-end.

**Ask from Nouns:** $10k USD

**Total Production Budget:** $56k USD

**Sponsors**

1. Title Sponsors: Ethereum Foundation ($10k USD) and Nouns ($10k USD)
2. Supporting Sponsors: WIP

![Ethereum App Town Hall](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1BbVsN2gg.jpg)

# Why an "App Town Hall"?

Ethereum is entering a new chapter. From apps to culture, builders are changing people’s lives with Ethereum.

It’s time to celebrate, learn, and share those wins together.

For that, we are creating a dedicated forum at Devconnect: the **App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨**

The App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨ creates space for teams to present their learnings, directions, and achievements. It’s about recognizing what’s working, spotlighting momentum, and giving Ethereum’s cultural layer the stage it deserves.

# Programming

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkN9IiN2lg.jpg)

We have 2 main blocks at the event which is hosted at the historic Amphitheater of Devcon's main venue La Rural – The speaker series as the Town Hall and the Creative Studio.

I'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 ⌐◨-◨ with nounish visual cues everywhere you look.

![](https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExY24wa2VlNm03c28yOXhia2xxZTdiYzVwejUxdjg4M3l3Ymk3Y3JiZCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/HPcbZgGdsQhy5FsDMG/giphy.gif)

## 1) The App Town Hall

Each team will have 15 minutes to share *behind-the-scenes* insights under the headline: **The State of “Insert App Name”**.

Chapters may include:

1. Who we are
2. Where we came from
   - Challenges + how we solved them
   - Wins
3. Where we are
   - Current challenges + solutions in progress
   - Wins
4. Where we are going
   - Opportunities ahead
   - Where we are doubling down

Each presentation will be followed by a **15–20 minute focused Q&A** with the audience.

## 2) Creative Studio

After the Town Hall, the Amphitheater will transform into a **Creative Studio** with artists-in-residence live painting and inviting visitors to contribute to a community mural and customize their favorite products.

We may also include **gaming stations** and a **lifestyle photography studio** to produce the editorial series *People of Ethereum* (see below).

![creative studio app town hall](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rk3YEoNhel.jpg)

## Community Mural

Outside the Amphitheater, we will install a large canvas for visitors to join a community mural painting activity — *Paint by Numbers.*  Example: [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/APlm-bqViec](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/APlm-bqViec)

**To be clear: the mural will not be painted on the wall of the building. A free standing, large canvas will be positioned in the area highlighted below.**

![paint by numbers](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rkMjSiE3xl.jpg)

# Media

## Key Learnings from World of Apps ⌐◨-◨ and how we’ll Improve

**Learning:** We didn’t budget enough for video editing to produce short-form content from the speaker series. **Solution:** We will produce more soundbite-length content with key insights from the App Town Hall, driving visibility post-event.

**Learning:** Visitors enjoyed creating their own content, but at World of Apps the programming and venue were too tight to allow more experimentation. **Solution:** We are rethinking floorplans and programming to encourage more user-generated content (UGC). **Insight:** Nouns has so much to show that visitors want to document and share — we should enable that more fully.

![People of Ethereum](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1qWro4hll.jpg)

## People of Ethereum – We like other things

*People of Ethereum* is a living portrait of the builders, dreamers, and thinkers shaping the world’s most open network.
It celebrates the human stories behind the code — the artists, developers, founders, and community stewards expanding what’s possible with Ethereum.

This editorial format goes beyond founder stories to explore the different pockets of culture where the *People of Ethereum* live.

# Why Should Nouns Support the App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨?

My work is focused on strengthening our position as the **cultural layer of Ethereum**, and on identifying, activating, and cultivating partnerships aligned with our mission:

**Expand the Ethereum ecosystem by funding art, code, and communities that build in the public domain.**

Being one of the two title sponsors of the first Ethereum App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨ will further strengthen our position and enable us to do more of what we set out to achieve: making crypto soft, and being nounish.

# This is not your typical sponsorship.

Nouns will be the key visual anchor throughout the event and comms to guide visitors throughout the Town Hall. This event will be a visually integrated extension from Mono and Lex's booth.

From Nouns' perspective you could look at the App Town Hall ⌐◨-◨ as a growth progression from Haus of Nouns ([https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/753](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/753)) -> World of Apps ([https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/841](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/841)) -> App Town Hall.
Impact + Visiblity: Prop-over-prop(PoP) positive growth
Budget request: PoP declining

# Budget Ask

As mentioned in the last proposal, there is a strong focus on **further decentralizing the financial burden** of activating these events. With learnings from *World of Apps* and more lead time, we are doing exactly that.

This is why I am asking Nouns for a **sponsorship contribution** with $10k USD toward this initiative.


GLITCH 2025 ARTS+TECH Residency

# GLITCH 2025 ARTS+TECH Residency

# Glitch Arts/Tech Residency (2025)

## 27 October - 9 November 2025

### Burgundy, France

![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHcommunity.png)

The Glitch Art/Tech Residency is a two-week gathering held at Château du Feÿ in Burgundy, France. This year’s 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—bridging digital and physical spaces while fostering lifelong friendships and future collaborations.
Now 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 “Life is a Glitch,” 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.
Glitch 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’s 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.

## Proposal:

- Sponsor Glitch 2025
- Send two Nouns delegates to Glitch 2025
- Build a Nouns track within Glitch 2025

## Request:

- 20,000 USDC

![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHpeople.png)

## GLITCH Residency

GLITCH 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.
More details about the fifth edition of GLITCH can be found here
Below is a snapshot of the participants for the upcoming edition:

![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/glitch5.png)

##

Glitch 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.

##

Previous GLITCH Outcomes

GLITCH 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:
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- GLITCH 2.5 in Portugal to support the creation of an art festival for NFT artists and builders / makers.
- Bio-glitch: [https://glitch.bio/](https://glitch.bio/) - a collective interested in exploring the use of blockchain and web3 for supporting the environment.
- 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.

![](https://arborithms.xyz/XYZ/GLITCHview.png)

- 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 “novel” 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.
- 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’s not about bio-Art, where artists use life to create art, it’s about using technology to breathe life into something that would be inanimate otherwise.
- 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.
- GLITCH @ Fey Arts Festival: We’re 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.


Double Down on Nounspace - v4

# Double Down on Nounspace - v4

Thank 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. We've responded to and/or incorporated all feedback we received during and since, and are back once more to ask for your support.

**Updates from Prop 825:**

We’re reducing the scope of our proposal to a 3-month sprint focused on specific Nounish deliverables. This will provide the team with critical resources to maintain momentum while we pursue additional funding and while Nouns explores a sustainable yield-based grant mechanism with Octant v2.

1. Decreased ETH ask 77% (65 ETH –> 15 ETH)
2. Focused strategy/deliverables on Nouns and added plans to pursue additional grant funding for blank.space from aligned ecosystems (h/t @internoun)
3. Added commitment to decentralize nounspace's front and backend, implement ENS routing, and transfer nounspace.eth to the Nouns Treasury (h/t @0xdusk)
4. Added commitment to run a contest for new Nounish theme templates (h/t @nataliecrue)

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJ5Mm_fbel.png)

Noun.space is a customizable Farcaster client and mini app built for Nouns, by Nouns. [Open-source](https://github.com/Nounspace/nounspace.ts), [community-owned](https://www.nounspace.com/t/base/0x48C6740BcF807d6C47C864FaEEA15Ed4dA3910Ab/Profile), and [live now](https://nounspace.com).

[![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeicen2zaylazwtdt7nmxmn67uyo5s743uthh2q2xibz3gaychxt3tm "https://youtu.be/L3aq_Z8eUD4")](https://youtu.be/L3aq_Z8eUD4)

(watch our 2 min demo video + Q&A from Base Demo Day ☝)

Noun.space is built on top of the **space system** - a web of miniature websites designed by the community and further customizable by its members. 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**.

![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeifpz5xp6lkrne72zsmmrfrad2zcaxzw3juxxbctvlwqbkeripugti)
![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1Ml9Gy6yx.png "TL;DR")

**The Plan**

- **By Nouns, For Nouns**

  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.
- **Secure additional grants from aligned communities to develop Blank.Space**

  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.

  \*(We’re working with Clanker to build out the first version of this for them)\*
- **10,000,000 $SPACE** (Streamed to Nouns over 2 months)

  Providing Nouns with a stake in the expanded space ecosystem.
  Claimable by proposal at any point in the future.

### The Ask

- **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**).

  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.

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B10Spqlayl.png "Strategy")

Here's how we get there:

**1. 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.

- Enable seamless voting in the Nouns mini app as well as a flow for delegating votes to embedded Farcaster or Base app wallet
- Raise awareness of projects and initiatives in our ecosystem
- Put faces to the name - contextualize who our members are

For more details on how this will look, check out the [Nouns-Focused Section](http://http://#The-Nounish-Homepage) of our proposal.

**2. Full Decentralization**

The 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.

Blank.space will make it easy for any community, Nounish and beyond, to host their own space system in the same fully decentralized fashion.

**3. Community Focused Tooling**

Make the space system the ideal hub for communities.

Instead 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)

[![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeialylp2e5s6ggkd5bktiktsm77mdtjbaetn6a3rlqwjwjn4gdsuai "https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182")](https://x.com/nounspacetom/status/1881749764292903182)

**4. Additional Grants**

We 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).
Shoutout to internoun.eth for already connecting us to and securing soft commitments from multiple top ecosystems.

**5. Blank.Space**

Once we’ve established Nounspace as a primary hub (measured by the majority of active Nouners using the Nouns mini app on a weekly basis) we’re excited to take the powerful platform we've built, and make it easy for any community to deploy their own version.

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.

Any community will be able to deploy their own space system.

Powered by ⌐◨-◨

> **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).
> 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’s 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.

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Sy7YCCWTJe.png)

For 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).

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyFXFFgTkx.png "Nouns-focused Nounspace")

Here is our vision of what a fully Nouns-focused noun.space will look like.

*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.*

### THE Nouns Mini App

Every 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’t allow connecting external wallets to mini apps, we’ll implement a simple flow for Nouners that wish to vote from Farcaster or Base app to delegate to their embedded wallet.

In addition to the following roadmap, we’ll 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.

### The Nounish Homepage

- Noun.space will be dedicated to all things Nouns.

  Including but not limited to:

  - Auctions, intro to Nouns, and more (powered by Nouns.com)
  - The Nouns channel feed (powered by Farcaster)
  - Auctions (powered by Nouns.com)
  - Governance (powered by Camp)
  - Documentation (powered by Nouns.center)
  - Projects (powered by Nouns.world)
  - IRL Locations (powered by Nounspot.com)

### A Nounish Directory

- The Members directory will feature all nouns holders/delegates, displaying their Nouns held/delegated and linking to their profile space.
- The Projects directory will display a growing list of Nounish projects with Farcaster accounts/channels, organized into categories.

![](https://space.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeigjiiri62q6sv7ifl72y6ktxm54b4ntppbdvzltxmrdha3msmy7a4)

[Rough demo of a directory of Nouns members (WIP)](https://eloquent-sunburst-2d95f1.netlify.app/)

### Nounish Profiles

The profile space for Nouns members will be updated to automatically include the following default configuration:

- A feed of their casts on Farcaster
- Nouns held & delegated as well as a button to delegate
- Voting activity
- Proposals published and sponsored

These spaces will still be completely customizable by each Nouner with Fidgets, Tabs and Themes.

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJRlTDpCke.png)

### Proposal Spaces

A space for every proposal with

- The proposal
- AI-generated summary
- Voting activity
- Live chat
- The ability to vote (with reason)

These spaces will still be completely customizable by the proposer with fidgets, tabs and themes.

Once 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.

Building this functionality as Mini Apps will also enable native Farcaster notifications for both proposals, propdates, and future proposal functionality.

![proposal spaces][image11]

We 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)).

### Nounish Theme Templates

Currently the app offers 9 theme templates, with custom HTML/CSS backgrounds, borders/border colors, fonts/font colors, and shadows.

We 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.

### Nounish Mini Apps and Notifications

Because 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).

Relative 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.

Mini app notifications will help maintain community engagement and awareness, without users needing to change their primary Farcaster client.

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1u4Ytlp1x.png "Benefits to Nouns")

1. Noun.space becomes fully Nouns-focused, but not Nouns-dependent.
2. Our team will be funded to focus on developing noun.space features full time for the next 3 months (at minimum).
3. Every Nounish community will be able to deploy their own decentralized space system.
4. The platform will be powered by ⌐◨-◨ 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.
5. Nouns Treasury receives 10,000,000 $SPACE

### $SPACE

[$SPACE](https://basescan.org/address/0x48C6740BcF807d6C47C864FaEEA15Ed4dA3910Ab) is the governance and utility token for Nounspace.

You can learn all about it on the [$SPACE token space](https://www.nounspace.com/t/base/0x48C6740BcF807d6C47C864FaEEA15Ed4dA3910Ab/Profile).

There's \~520 stETH currently staked in the $SPACE [fair launch contract](https://space.nounspace.com/#/mainnet/capital).

This contract generates 1-2 ETH of monthly yield (32.5+ ETH and counting).

The yield is then streamed into the $SPACE/ETH liquidity pool on UniV3 on Base, becoming protocol-owned liquidity.

# Retroactive Reward - Quack and Lola - Past 21 months

Tl;dr:

- Atrium is seeking 10 ETH is retro-active reward for the work done between Jan 2024 - Sept 2025 (21 months) building the [Quack and Lola](https://www.instagram.com/meetquack/) original IP using a Nouns primitive. (⌐◨-◨)
- This proposal doesn't make any meaningful dent in our operating costs, it's more to signal to the team that Nouns still cares and wants us to push harder.

![](https://i.postimg.cc/CLYHBXhb/6dcc0bae-55e3-45b9-a76c-f37752768bfe.jpg)
![](https://i.postimg.cc/T2qGSPjb/Group-228.png)

With that, let's get started!

### Background / History

- Quack and Lola first creating content especially social media focused back in June 2023.
- Atrium has been self-funding and scaling operations majorly out of profits and revenue earned from this workstream.
- Nouns funded a one-time [retroactive grant](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/486) of 36 ETH in Jan 2024.

### At a glance

- We have published over 200 pieces of entertainment focused content produced since inception.
- \~ 1.5mil$ in GMV last trailing 12 months.
- 10Bil+ cumulative views on gifs and most trending stickers on [giphy](https://giphy.com/atriumart) on most days.
- 4Bil+ cumulative views overall across social media.
- They are all, for all top-line metric comparison, one of the most prolific IPs with hockey stick growth.
- We have NEVER sold a large NFT collection or launched a memecoin so entire entire operation is sustainably funded and run.

Fans love us

![](https://i.postimg.cc/zB1dpjZh/Screenshot-2025-09-29-at-8-07-23-AM.png)

Brands love us

![](https://i.postimg.cc/prcJNQ4L/Screenshot-2025-09-29-at-8-06-50-AM.png)

We are now expanding and taking Quack and Lola to the next level of growth :

- We have a dedicated [consumer products](https://www.licenseglobal.com/new-media-social/visional-pop-atrium-partner-to-expand-quack-and-lola-animated-characters-globally) and Licensing team in place (Japan and US)
- We are expanding ecomm operations with multiple warehouses in US and EU
- Our goal is to scale up yearly GMV to 10mil+ a year that can fuel our growth in multiple new territories.

### What is the grant used for?

- This is purely a retro-active grant from the DAO as a super-patron to show that they still care about Quack and Lola as a brand and wants us to push harder.
- Grant ask is <=10 days worth of trailing auction revenue.
- We will come back after deliberating with the community for a forward-looking proposal for what doubling down could look like.

### FAQ:

**What is Quack?**

- Quack and Lola are original (non-cco) IP built on top of a cc0 primitive (nouns characters and glasses). Think how dracula is a public domain figure but hotel transylvania dracula is owned by Sony Entertainment. Atrium owns the US and EU [trademarks](https://uspto.report/TM/98498858) / copyrights on Quack and Lola marks + designs.

**How is it involved with Nouns Movie if at all?**

- Completely different workstream although managed within Atrium. Its budgeting and production is marked entirely different from this workstream.

**How big is the Quack operations team today?**

- We have 4 full-time people on content production, 4 people on consumer products / brand management and licensing. (All staff located in the US and Japan)
- We have 4 part-time staff in Korea, Japan, Thailand and more leading localisation efforts. (see meetquack\_kr, meetquack\_th, meetquack\_jp etc)
- All the payroll is covered entirely by Atrium.

# Nouns x Indonesia in Petra Christian University (PCU)

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1oJ_yl3ll.jpg)

Petra Christian University (PCU), Indonesia, has launched the Web3 Education Center (WEC) in collaboration with IDNFT, developing a Web3-based entrepreneurship lab for students and lecturers. 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#)

We 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:

1. Activating a talk show program with Kinako and Tagawa as representatives of Nouns.
2. Launching a mural program in the Visual Communication Design Department of Petra Christian University (PCU) in collaboration with Tagawa and StreamDeep.
3. 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.

By 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.

Since 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.
We hope Nouns will join us through the WEC program.

### About PCU

- **PCU’s 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.

## Motivation

- **Cultural relevance**: Nouns DAO’s memetic, creative ethos fits perfectly with PCU’s art, design, and innovation environment. Here is the example of student's project in PCU:

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H1X2K0cKeg.jpg)

## Vision & Mission with Nouns

- **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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/r1Tg0Gdqeg.png)
- **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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HkHpcB_5gx.png)
- **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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkE6xQd5ex.png)
- **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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hyhh9Bdqlg.png)
- Highlight Nouns DAO’s 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).

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyOOFErolg.png)

## B. Mural Collaboration in Petra Christian University

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HyP7kIOqlg.png)
- 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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1dLyvO9ee.png)

## C. Mural in Noyo Gimbal View, Blora

- 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.

  ![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJiIpI_9lg.png)

# Deliverables & Impact

1. **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.
2. **Enduring Artwork**: Mural preserved as a cultural landmark in PCU, one of the prominent university in East java, Indonesia.
3. **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.
4. **Documentation**: Photos, videos, live streams, and a post-event impact report.
5. **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.

# WTF Nounscraft?

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/ZGzpVcn.gif)

Nounscraft is a **mini gallery** featuring creative DIY activities, art exhibitions, mini games, a space to promote the Nouns brand, and also serves as a meeting place to discuss the Nouns DAO. Mounted on a three-wheeled vehicle, Nounscraft can travel on roads and stop to set up a booth anywhere.  Our customized tuk-tuk with vibrant **Nouns-themed art** and **pop-up booth** turns heads and draws curious visitors everywhere it goes.

Over the past six months, we have successfully provided education at **three schools and foundations**, made regular weekly appearances for **16 times**, **4 schools and orphanages**, and over **500 children** have been delighted by Nounscraft’s arrival. Visitors can paint piggy banks and tote bags—simple, joyful DIY activities that turn into lasting memories.

# What we've done

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/vUqidoT.jpeg)

- ## We Turn a Tuk-tuk into Mini-Gallery

    We built the first NFT gallery on a tuk-tuk, making Nounscraft a unique icon that brings Nouns closer to non-web3 users and amazes everyone who sees it.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/AOtT8Nb.jpeg)

- ## We make DIY Kits

    We created a DIY kit with a piggy bank, brushes, a palette, and stickers, which **sold out all 250 units**, attracted ongoing orders, and successfully spread to the Nouns community in Indonesia.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/6EA4Ssf.gif)

- ## We hold a Weekly Exhibition

    Our weekly exhibitions have promoted Nouns and attracted enthusiasts, leading us to secure a booth at Car Free Day in [Hasanuddin Air Base](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jFcZnM4sdHa1Ejh87), Maros to spread Nounscraft further.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/Z3PuBOc.jpeg)

- ## We go to the school and orphanages

    In line with Nouns' vision to become a “public good,” we focus on spreading it in schools and foundations. In carrying out this mission, we have visited two schools and two foundations to spread happiness to the children.

  1. [Panti Asuhan Al-Qadri](https://maps.app.goo.gl/bPHPQEChTcaK2X4Y8), March 9, 2025
  2. [TK Negeri 13 Pembina](https://maps.app.goo.gl/crGMg8HgHrHsw4mVA), May 24, 2025
  3. [Bunayya Islamic School Qur'an and Montessori](https://maps.app.goo.gl/w3VKseCDpNq7M42q6), July 19, 2025
  4. [Yayasan Amal Islam Kariango](https://maps.app.goo.gl/HqwLMtPojzycXKpe8), August 4, 2025

    Next, we plan to visit several schools, namely: [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.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/X36CI9i.jpeg)

- ## We collaborate with other brands

    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’s income. *This collaboration is still in the pre-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**.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/wrgRQSY.jpeg)

- ## We are conducting research on new DIY products.

    To diversify Nounscraft’s offerings, which have gained strong interest during three weeks of testing.We introduced new DIY products like:

  - totebags
  - bucket hats
  - slingbag
  - paint by number canvases
  - wood keychains
  - plant vases

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/1QxV05v.jpeg)

- ## What do people say about Nounscraft?

  1. “*We are very happy to have Nounscraft here. The children are so enthusiastic about coloring that they even color their clothes*”, **Andi Bunayya, Founder of Bunayya Islamic School and Montessori**.
  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**.
  3. “*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*”, **Ahmad Habibi, Ammar's father, 49 years old**.

# Whats Next?

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/JI5PjPJ.gif)

- ## Kids Activation

  - **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.
  - **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.
  - **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.
  - **Monthly Mini-Exhibition**   The children’s art contest entries will be exhibited in our tuk-tuk mini gallery for **two months**, ensuring visitors can enjoy fresh and rotating works every month.
  - **DIY Kit Contest via nouns.gg**   We are launching a DIY product competition via nouns.gg/rounds, where Nouners will select the best ideas, aiming to add at least three new products **every six months** to Nounscraft’s lineup.
  - **Annual Kids Road Trip (4 regencies)**   Nounscraft will travel by tuk-tuk from [Sukoharjo](https://maps.app.goo.gl/2oLmpqWYe5RQHVwL6), [Surakarta](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gdqzU5suCR1CBVg67), [Klaten](https://maps.app.goo.gl/U8eKXyuRXgo8Zbpv6) to [Yogyakarta](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qbpFZodKcLAVY1Y36) in **March–April 2026**, visiting **six schools or orphanages** to spread Nouns’ influence and share joy with children. We’ll document the trip and later host a viewing session with the children at Nounscraft.
    If this is successful, we plan to add road trip locations to [Bali](https://maps.app.goo.gl/sRUJ84DhyNTqofr59) and [Lombok](https://maps.app.goo.gl/CAFgWvtQmJofX8pW6).

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/5yJPuDV.gif)

- ## Web3 Community and Brand Collaboration

  - **Partnered DIY Kits**   We see DIY kits as the ideal form of brand collaboration, as shown with Polkadot and mETH, and plan to expand beyond tote bags to include bucket hats, paint-by-number kits, and trending DIY kites in Indonesia.
  - **Coloring Sessions During Meetups**   Nounscraft will join brand meetups—such as those by Base, Polkadot, and Tokocrypto—bringing creativity to these gatherings while offering our DIY products through collaborations.
  - **IRL happy hour activations**   By bringing Nounscraft to schools, we can collaborate with brands while promoting Nouns through social media, with happy hour sessions letting students color their own Nouns.
  - **Web3 Builders Meetup**   A monthly meetup every first Sunday at Nounscraft for Web3 and Nouns enthusiasts to gather, learn, and collaborate on community, builders, and innovation.

![image alt](https://i.imgur.com/NGkMamX.gif)

- ## Sustainability Plan

  - **Community-led product sales**   By involving the community as co-creators—designing DIY kits, joining art contests, and exhibiting works—Nounscraft fosters ownership that drives organic sales and sustainable revenue.
  - **Weekly visibility = recurring income**   The more frequently and consistently Nounscraft is seen by the public each week, the greater the opportunity for recurring revenue that keeps the business sustainable.  **Weekly Visibility → Engagement → Recurring Income → Sustain**

# 'We're From The Internet' aka the Chip And Benny AI Puppet Show

Hi all! Wanted to start by saying that this prop is a couple different things.

First, 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!

And second, it's an ask for a little additional help so we can make this thing connect and really come alive.

But, wait, you're probably wondering, 'Chris, what in the heck did you guys make?' And the answer to that is-

A pretty special little show that puts Nouns front and center...

# The Series

“We’re From The Internet” 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.

Here's the first episode (Vimeo link) to give you a better feel for it:

[![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)

It’s 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.

And it's really, really fun!

*(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!)*

# The People and Infrastructure Behind The Show

![Chris](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJmPkixilx.jpg)

Chris Martin (that’s me, hi!)  is the creator, writer, director and producer behind the series ([https://www.chrismeetworld.com/](https://www.chrismeetworld.com/)).

Thanks 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.

![Chip+w+Profile](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Skobdcliee.jpg)
![Benny+Sketch+w+nude+views](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/H17MOqxogx.jpg)

The show is filmed entirely in Toronto with a fully Canadian crew - including the art director of ‘The Boys’ and the producer of the recent A24 acquisition, ‘The Undertone.’

![Jamie and Marty](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SJdQ55liel.jpg)

Jamie 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.

![Console](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1kRa9gixl.jpg)

Before going into production on the first batch of episodes, we established ‘WE’RE FROM THE INTERNET CORP,’ 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.

‘We’re From The Internet’ 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.

Which brings us to…

# The Ask

What 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.

That 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.

![Set 3](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1d6Y5eixl.jpg)

By stretching the $50k as far as possible - and getting many friendly discounts - we’re able to achieve television quality episodes with:

- Studio rental - 3 days of shoot and 1 day of pre-light
- Equipment rental - Alexa 35, lenses, lighting and grip
- 2 puppeteers/performers - ACTRA compliant contracts and hours
- 14 person crew - Director/Writer (Me), Producer, UPM, DP, ACs, Sound Mixer, Boom Op, Production Designer, Set Dresser, Puppet Wrangler, Caterer and PAs
- Meals/snacks for cast + crew for 4 days
- Post production - Editing, VFX, music, sound

![Cast and Crew](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJJHi5xoge.jpg)

With 10 episodes already finished, these additional 12 will:

- Provide us the runway to launch and grow a fanbase across social platforms
- Develop a sustainable way to keep this show going through a mix of:
  - **Platform rev share** - YT/TikTok/etc.
  - **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
  - **Creative onchain activations** that begin to build out fan collaboration.

Which is also where everything starts to get exciting…

# An Interactive Short-Form Series

This go-round, the prompts for the first 10 episodes were all written by Chris, but for this next batch of 12, we’d like to start rolling out our long-term plan. Which is to have **fans submit prompts that Chris writes the episode scripts to**.

And in this case, the ‘fans’ are all our ‘yes’ voters.

![Prompt](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJQXyjxige.jpg)

So, if this proposal is something you’d like to support and vote ‘yes’ on, then please **submit your ‘prompt’ along with your vote**. Feel free to get creative, weird or just plain honest.

We’ll pick 12 from the ‘yes’ votes and include whatever handle/name/identifier - and maybe even your voice - that you’d like to start making this a truly collaborative show.

The 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 ‘interactions’ and ‘participation’ with the show and turn this into a really unique and collaborative adventure.

# Cultural Layer

Everybody 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.

It's an incredibly rare thing and our first prop made that possible.

With 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.

![Screenshot 2025-08-29 at 10.37.04 AM](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJaA9cesgx.png)

So if you really believe that the noggles are the cultural layer of Ethereum, then we think it’s important to continue proliferating the kind of culture and art that people can connect with, share with friends and recognize as ‘nounish.’

‘We’re From The Internet’ 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.

So let’s 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.

Thank 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)!

ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts

# ENS x Nouns, Name Our Smart Contracts

# TLDR

Name our smart contracts, get paid.

# Why?

ENS is contemplating running a naming incentive specifically around [smart contracts](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/temp-check-ens-contract-naming-season/21402). Regardless of the incentive, I believe it is in the best interest of Nouns to name our smart contracts especially if the UX/UI changes to support this. ENS is a great DAO to partner with and we should show support by leading by example.

![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G1Hn0ZzXkAA-XRu?format=png&name=900x900 "Example")

# How?

Executing this proposal will use the ENScribe contracts to register names on ENS. We will remove access to the app (the last step)

# Contracts With High Impact

- 0x830BD73E4184ceF73443C15111a1DF14e495C706 (auction) proposing we name this auction.nouns.eth
- 0xf790A5f59678dd733fb3De93493A91f472ca1365 (prop and comments) proposing we name this candidates.nouns.eth
- 0x883860178F95d0C82413eDc1D6De530cB4771d55 (client rewards) proposing we name this rewards.nouns.eth
- 0x0fd206FC7A7dBcD5661157eDCb1FFDD0D02A61ff (streams) proposing we name this stream.nouns.eth
- 0x6f3E6272A167e8AcCb32072d08E0957F9c79223d (proposals) proposing we name this proposal.nouns.eth
- 0x9C8fF314C9Bc7F6e59A9d9225Fb22946427eDC03 (delegation) proposing we name this delagate.nouns.eth

# Call Outs And Onchain Actions

Step 1: We give the ENScribe contract temporary permission to manage our ENS name
Step 2-7: We call the ENScribe contract to register names for our contracts
Step 8: We remove ENScribe's permission to manage our ENS name

The above steps and figuring out the onchain actions could have not been possible without the help of Nouner James/jkm.eth from [Lighthouse.cx.](https://lighthouse.cx/) As well as Index and Wylin for comments and shoutout Tabs.wtf.

# Comp

No comp. If we do get a nice airdrop, I highly suggest to all we keep it as a show of good faith to ENS DAO.


Mammoth Head

# Mammoth Head

TLDR:
This proposal adds a new head trait: Mammoth head

Here are some auto-generated combinations of the new part with existing Nouns parts:

![1000021916](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/SkxqZopBage.png)

The Mammoth is an ancient creature — large, strong, and living in groups, protecting one another. Even though they are extinct, their spirit remains eternal in our memories and imagination. Mammoths represent strength, endurance, and timeless creativity — gentle giants from the past that live within the Nounish spirit of building, creating, and growing together every day.

I’m Deguma, a Nouns artist, creator of the Nouns Piggy Bank, and manager of the Noun Dragon Booth. I propose the Mammoth head as a new addition to the Nouns collection. This animal is unique and strange — just like Nouns.

I’m also proposing 0.3 ETH as compensation for the art, concept, and idea. Pixel art in Nouns is not simple — only 32x32 pixels, limited by the body and noggles — yet that’s what makes it challenging and beautiful. Everything needs renewal, just like Nouns traits that bring fresh new spirit to the community.
