A WIP PROPOSAL TO DO SOME BIG BOLD THINGS, Support and onboard more proactive and varied nounish builders,and help open up the pathways to mass adoption of nouns through careful, thoughtful activations and engagement.
NOUNWORKS is A small, Doxxed, dedicated proven team focused on creating, manufacturing and distribution of the highest quality NOUNISH products in the world. To date we have shipped over 100K of iconic Nounish items to every part of the world. (Noggles, Toys, Lo-Fi paper Noggles,pins,stickers,animated nfts, AR experiences, and more!) We would love to continue this mission of building distributing and celebrating NOUNS everyday forever, as long as we can.
Our Physical goods are tools of engagement, and often a first point of conatct for non crypto natives with NOUNS or anything crypto.
We as a community should lean into this and fund a stream of NOGGLEs and related items to supply every passed on-chain prop, as well as relevant Prophouse props that require physical goods for social activations and engagement.
Everytime we had done this in the past the results were incredible and the nounpilling and proliferation and content engagement was higher than it woudl be without our help.Just ask any builder that has used our products in their activations.
We also feel that any new or existing Nouner should receive a set of Noggles, and a "welcome aboard" package or starter kit that will help them proliferate the community they've just stepped into.
While i am not sure how to control this distribution faucet or when we decide who can get larger allocations for their events I do know that this is extremley important especially in new communities and in some under develped nations where crypto is play such an imoortant part but the cost of these products can be substantial to them based on USDC value
The physical can feed & help build the digital.
Multiple builders have expressed an interest in having Nouns-related merch in hand to help bolster their events and plans, but have indicated that they can't afford to front the money to acquire the merch and often the task of putting up a candidate, then a proposal can take months and by then the opportunity and the excitement for nouns are no longer there. This prop would solve that problem.
XXX USDC / month to cover:
XXX USDC / month to cover:
Funds to be sent monthly from a multisig safe in USDC equivalent top the above ETH amounts.
Record keeping:
We would maintain a record (spreadsheet) detailing who we shipped to, what we shipped,
Will do our best to stay on top of and encourage social media interactions and reports back from the recepients but it will be up to them to proliferate and share since NOUNS does not have a dedicated media team
Controlling the flow:
We'd also need to establish eligibility parameters (who gets the products). Noun holders, passed on-chain proposals and Nounish IRL events which benefit the community should be eligible for kits.
Best usage:
Bundled "Party Packs"
"Passed" Prop welcome bundle includes a case of 10 plastic Noggles, 50 paper Noggles and 50 pins. This is basically a Party Pack that enables a super fun Nouns-themed event and gives the builders an opportunity to share and document their experiences and journey, share info and more with the world as they build their project. $600 + shipping.
Proliferator Packs:
For Nouners and builders planning IRL events: could come in 4 tiers to supply a variety of sizes of events:
PART 2 of the proposal,
RE-UP MERCH
RE-UP and update the much needed product ranges:
Lo-Fi noggles
these are extremlay popular, easy to ship and act as a perfect NOUNS welcome card for everyone, we can make branded art,and special prints (esports, Farcaster/Purple YEllow, Nounsfest exclusive)
Simple package Funglasses at a lower price. (cloth bag no box for savings on packaging, shipping)
Same great noggles, more effecient packaging for easier more compact shipping and distribution, Pouches can have specific custom branding like Esports, EDCON, Farcaster etc
Create and produce New simple Noggle design at a lower cost with a simpla package
New Pins
sticker packs (these are examples of past stickers we made and distributed)
packs of 5-6 high quality stickers in a polybag with a header. These are similar to the sticker packs sold at concerts, and retail
These will make th epacks suitable for sale at events shoudl the Event managers have a retail location
SERIES 2 NOUNISH FRIENDS
include new heads and possible colabs with
the hundreds
Pizza Dao
Adidas
Michelin?
We want to lean in on the idea that all we really need are a couple of great "show car" level samples to tell the story of what is possible and not spend a year manufacturing these things for an unknown audeince, lets be bold in our experimantation and see what happens.
POSSIBLE REWORK FOR 2025
A big onboarding activation at Designer Con 2024 in las Vegas that would feature all of the nous porjects, Base onpboarding, Pizza Dao and more (Dcon is an event that we need to be at en force to onboard the creative community in a big meaningful way to web3, nouns and onchain)
Engage with more creatives to make nounish things of all kinds, and then showcase all of these wonders at the Licenisng show where we can properly introduce them to NOUNS, whats is possible and hand over a full asset library for anyone to do their own thing
LIST OF POSSIBLE PROJECTS to work on
Nouns modular build anywhere structure plans
REWRITE to include Asheville and a local architect
We are in the process of developing technical specifications for a modular housing project, "NOUNS TOWNS for people in places everywhere forever"
The ask is small and the impact could be global.Our plan is to involve an architect and a structural engineer to enhance and fine-tune Klim's innovative building concept into a set of detailed technical schematics, as well as a comprehensive bill of materials. Upon completion, we aim to open-source these plans, enabling anyone to utilize them anywhere. Additionally, we are seeking out suitable partners and considering initiating a secondary team—potentially in Latin America or led by Carlos—to propose the construction of a physical prototype based on these specifications.Once the plans are done anyone in the community can put a prop together to find a suitable partner and a team (maybe lat-am maybe Carlos? put forth a proposal to build a physical prototype based on those specs) I make toys and have good ideas, I want to open source the things I can't make for people that can, everyday forever.
Possibly engage with a enviromental design school and bring this to them as a contest with a 10K prize pool?
Pratt through the alum porgram with Eric O'Toole and Ryan Brutherfurd?
Nounish friends extentions
**Series 1.5 **
REdeco the collection in a small run that would be available for the nouns shorts festval and include new graphics and colors for all of the characters release during nouns fest, DCON, Bazel

Possibly engage with toy design program and bring this to them as a contest with a 10K prize pool? Pratt or FIT, or OTIS with David H through the alum porgram with Eric O'Toole and Ryan Brutherfurd?
Physical manifestations of our best ideas.
Community ideation:
Hold some prophouse rounds to work with the community to Develop a selection of concepts from other builders in and out of the community into presentable samples and ready to market prototypes (think Concept cars at the auto show)
Nounworks Concept works:
Develop a series of Ideas that Klim has been sitting on or already prototyped
to showcase at these events
