# AuctionHAUS Proposal
## Introduction
AuctionHAUS is a tool developed by DAOhaus to enable groups to participate in Nouns governance by crowdfunding a treasury. This treasury can then participate in Nouns auctions through a delegated Captain role. The key goals of AuctionHAUS are:
- **Crowdfunded Governance Participation**: Allows a more diverse set of community members to engage, including those with less eth than the minimum reserve price to spend.
- **Decentralized Nouns Block Creation**: Proof of concept for creating governance blocks in a decentralized manner, with blocks representing specific community platforms.
- **Participant Engagement**: Ensures permissionless entry and skin in the game for all participants.
- **Bigger Picture**: If a decentralized group can successfully govern a Noun, this model could be extended to govern other entities.
- **Sub DAOs and Nuanced Communities**: Presents an interesting pattern for sub DAOs and niche community platforms.
- **MetaCartel Involvement**: Integrating the MetaCartel family deeper into the Nouns community.
## Technical Notes & Mechanics
### Mainnet Deployment
- Update the factories (DAOhaus Higher Order Summoner and Base Summoner).
- Deploy AuctionHAUS Shaman Module (DAO extension).
- Deploy Mainnet Yeeter Factory and template.
- Deploy Graph Yeeter indexer.
### Frontend Updates
- Fork the SpeedBall interface to create a simple, single-page application.
- Actions to "Yeet."
- Actions for the Captain (bid/vote).
### Captain's hat
- hats integration to leverage a "captains hat" role. This DAO managed role could be used for the DAO for several things, including nouns delegation, voting and bidding. Other suplimental resposibilities could be added like escape hatch and vetos
### Mock Up exploration 1 (speedball fork)
### Mockup exploration 2 (flipable dashboard)
## Governance Notes
### Captain Role
- The DAO can elect, replace, or remove the Captain as needed.
- If no Captain is elected, the DAO must consider Nouns lock-up periods (pending/voting/grace) and alignment with DAO proposals.
- The Captain could act as a benevolent dictator or delegate responsibilities to a group/safe (e.g., Captain's Mates).
- The Captain could either vote or delegate all Nouns to a safe (e.g., Hats Signer Gate) of Captain's Mates.
- Voting may be directed by signals from members, including deliberation forums, signal votes, consensus finding meetings, or at the Captain's discretion based on the elected platform.
- high quorum of a escape hatch triggered by captain may be important to avoid capture from the permissionless onboarding
### Captain Reward
the captain can receive a reward for bidding on auction and voting. Reward is paid in ragequitable shares. Reward is to supplement gas costs and potentially some bonus
## Nouns Blocks
- Current Nouns Quorum: 60-70
- Ideal Noun Block Size: 7+ Nouns
## Proof of Concept (POC) Estimated Level of Effort (LOE)
- Estimated Cost: **4 ETH**
- Estimated Time: 40-60 hours
- Target Launch: MCON or earlier
- Budget Allocation: Half for development costs, half to bootstrap purchase of the first Noun, tokens distributed between initial contributors
## Nouns DAO engagement:
- Nouncil has been engaged and general positive encouragement
- We are buidling a Nouns coalition from the MetaCartel ecosystem (MetaCouncil, Sky, Yalor, WillyWonka, Decent DAO)
- We will start reviewing proposals for people
## Extended Build
- Scale and explore new use cases.
- Potential grant from Nouns software.
- There is also potential for cross-knowledge sharing with [Pirate League](https://pirateleague.org/) for extended build efforts.
## Potential POC Funding
- PublicHAUS: Aligns with current objectives.
- Build on SpeedBall.
- Develop new interfaces.
- Contract maintenance.
## Potential Yeeters
- Raidguild
- PublicHAUS
- MetaCartel
- Others with soft commitments of 0.3 ETH, targeting at least 10 initial participants.
## Potential Team (2-4 people)
- Dekan
- Tae
- Plor / Sayo / Pirate League
- Disigner and developer suppliments
### Context
**Nouns** is a NFT project/DAO where holders can vote on how to spend the treasury. Nouns are auctioned off daily with a reserve price of 2.2 eth. Current auction prices range between 2.2-4 eth
**PublicHAUS** is the governing body of DAOhaus, a community of people that build and maintain open DAO protocols and tooling products and experiments.
**Yeeter**
Fair and decentralized crowdfund protocol
**SpeedBall**
Product that was a finalist in the Base hackathon. It uses a novel factory pattern to combine multiple DAO tooling protocols

## Meeting Notes
### Intro
AuctionHaus is a tool built by DAOhaus to allow groups of people to participate in Nouns governance by crowdfunding a treasury that can participate in auctions through a delegated Captain role
crowdfund governance participation
open to more diverse set of community
pathway for people to be able to contribute like people with less than 3 eth
POC of creating blocks in a more decentralized way
blocks can represent specific platforms
skin in the game for all participants
bigger picture: if a decentralized group can successfully govern a noun, what else can be governed?
Interesting pattern for sub DAOs and more nuonced community platforms
MetaCartel family getting more into the Nouns community
