# Bring a million shredders onchain (revised)


📝 *This is a [Proposal 363](https://nouns.wtf/vote/363) revision, addressing feedback received.*

**[Gnars](https://gnars.wtf)** proposes a strategic initiative to empower action sportspeople through communal funding, collective creation, and shared proceeds. Having evolved over the past 16 months, we're now poised to further integrate Nouns into our subcultures, leveraging our Goodwill, Network, Advocacy, Releases, and Serendipity (hypercycle). Let's bring a million shredders onchain!

📝 *Skateboarding remains our primary illustrative example. Our commitment spans all subcultures we're part of and the term "shredder" describes anyone contributing to them.*

## 🛹 Background/Problem Statement


📝 *Cult classic > Corporate cringe. Movements > Marketing.*

Skateboarding and similar subcultures, despite their rise in popularity, grapple with commercial overreach and value retention. Some of the most pressing challenges include:

1. **Commercial Exploitation**: Outside brands jumping into skateboarding often prioritise profit over authenticity.
2. **Loss of Authenticity**: Many skaters, due to financial pressures, might promote brands they don't genuinely align with.
3. **Skater Exploitation**: Many skaters, despite their talent, don't receive fair compensation, especially considering the sport's physical demands.
4. **Mainstream Misrepresentation**: Media portrayals frequently miss the genuine essence of skateboarding, leaning into stereotypes.
5. **Skatepark Commercialisation**: Once-communal skateparks are becoming increasingly commercialised.
6. **Core Values vs. Growth**: Balancing foundational skateboarding values with growth opportunities remains a delicate act.

The skateboarding domain needs a thoughtful equilibrium. Brands that genuinely get and respect the skate culture have the potential to collaboratively benefit both parties without diluting the sport's spirit.

## 💡 Proposed Solution


📝 *Check out the [Meier Skatepark renovation](https://www.gnars.wtf/dao/proposals/3) proposal that's currently being delivered*

**GNARS** as an acronym crystallises our ethos, mirroring the Nouns' virtuous cycle, acting as our serendipity engine:

- **Goodwill**: Renewing skateparks and introducing new, shred-worthy sculptures
- **Network**: Culturally sensitive contributions earn us both visibility and respect
- **Advocacy**: Harmonising with communities helps us draw in new enthusiasts
- **Releases**: Collective creative outputs with shared proceeds bolster funding
- **Serendipity**: Getting onchain empowers shredders, opening fresh avenues

Empowering individuals to step into the blockchain world is central to our mission. Shredders, akin to artists, can undergo transformative experiences through this. Our overarching goal is to amplify our influence, simplify operational processes, and champion those with genuine grassroots credibility.

---

## 🌟 Opportunity


📝 *We're not just another brand. We're a movement. Head-less so you can shred more!*

The Nouns ecosystem, with its unique blend of art, technology, and community, offers a fertile ground for genuine subcultural integration. Our approach is not about plastering logos everywhere but about creating genuine value and experiences.

1. **Skatepark Enhancements**: We're not just slapping stickers. We're improving DIY spots and skateparks, making them better for everyone.
2. **Nouns-Themed Sculptures**: Introducing Nouns-themed obstacles and sculptures in skateparks worldwide.
3. **QR/NFC Plaques**: Simplifying onboarding with intuitive QR/NFC plaques at skateparks.
4. **Subculture Expertise**: Leveraging our deep-rooted expertise to enhance Nouns' outreach in various subcultures, such as skating, rollerblading, surfing, bodyboarding, flying and other extreme sports.
5. **Grassroots approach**: Empowering Gnars Shredders to engage their local community and organize meetups, beach cleanups and other forms of experiences that cause positive impact on their daily lives.

Our target of onboarding a million shredders might seem lofty, but it’s just a fraction - 0.2% - of the 490 million participants in extreme sports.

To provide some perspective, skateboarding alone boasts 85 million participants. Industries like adventure tourism further validate our optimistic projections, given their sustained growth trajectories.

Our strategy is multi-pronged, ensuring we address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability:

- **Skatepark Enhancement Projects**
We've already showcased our impact:
- Opstacle (noggle rail) installations such as [the original](https://snapshot.org/#/gnars.eth/proposal/0xb63306dbfe950dd9754d5edcf8f48c6ff9bdd32eeeff4c644cb90c974a3055fa) in [Praça XV, Rio de Janeiro](https://twitter.com/vladhzc/status/1660451083427143681) (Brazil), and others in [Nairobi](https://twitter.com/davinoyesigye/status/1688473570119131136) (Kenya), [Domingo de Guzmán](https://twitter.com/PagesAndres/status/1632145699256016900) (Dominican Republic), and [Chicago](https://twitter.com/webgnar/status/1703201471255187565) (United States) with more to come
- Skatepark refurbishments such as [Skate Park Maracanã](https://snapshot.org/#/gnars.eth/proposal/0xb6f1781ada377924f11500e81735dd60170984c7976a1267027b3bd67fca93f1) (Rio de Janeiro), [Gigoia Island Skatepark](https://nouns.wtf/vote/142) (Rio de Janeiro) and [Meier Skatepark](https://www.gnars.wtf/dao/proposals/3) (Rio de Janeiro) are great examples of our contributions and collaborations
- Nouniversary events in [Pereira](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/femboard-x-gnars) (Colombia), [Niterói](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/noun-gnar-versary) (Brazil), [São Paulo](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/uncharted-waves) (Brazil), [Nairobi](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/noungnarversary-celebration-nairobi) (Kenya) demonstrate our commitment to Nouns
- **Operational Funds for Core Contributors**: Recognising and compensating our core contributors for their relentless efforts, unearthing grassroots opportunities around the globe, and keeping thing running smoothly
- **Continuous Park Enhancements**: Establishing a treasury for ongoing terrain park improvements, ensuring sustained impact and cultural relevance, all incredible catalysts for ongoing content production
- **Intuitive Onboarding**: Implementing QR/NFC plaques for commemorative purposes and seamless onboarding of new members to our ecosystem
- **Brand Outreach**: Collaborating with authentic brands and influencers in the action sports domain to amplify reach and earn the respect of our peers

Our dual focus on the action sports community and local councils ensures that our initiatives resonate with authentic cultural value. We reject the zero-sum and seek out win-win, positive-sum outcomes for all involved.

---

## 📊 Budget Breakdown

Per the TLDR, our ask is 300,000 USDC [or 183 stETH] to our treasury (DAO executor) at `gnars.eth`. We aim to replicate our success across multiple locations that arise through grassroots discovery and Prop House infinite rounds funding.

Based on previous project expenses, we estimate 24 additional projects is an achievable outcome over the next 12 months, especially when focused on emerging markets where every gwei goes such a long way:

- **Continuous park enhancements - 240,000 USDC [or 146.4 stETH]**
- Skatepark refurbishments: 150,000 USDC
- Nouns-themed sculptures: 50,000 USDC
- Supporting Shredders: ?
- QR/NFC plaques for onboarding: 20,000 USDC
- Miscellaneous & unforeseen expenses: 20,000 USDC
- **Administration of funded projects - 60,000 USDC [or 36.6 stETH]**
- Coordinate community-driven outreach and promo
- Discord moderation and general administrative tasks
- Onboarding support for grant recipients and builders
- Curation and support for new That's Gnarly creators
- **Onchain (gas) and other expenses - Self-funded**
- Codebase maintenance, improvements and bug squashing
- Implement auction settlement leaderboard to reward settlooors
- Provide regular "[Propdates](https://propdates-app.vercel.app/)" to keep Nouns updated onchain
- Deploy open source portfolio at gnars.com ([GitHub Pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/github-pages/))

📝 *Through onchain governance, we will allocate funds as earmarked. Finer details are laid out later in this proposal. If you've any questions, please don't hesitate to [join our Discord](https://discord.gg/gnars) for a discussion. We are here to help!*

## 🌐 Transparency & Governance


During the Proposal 363 voting process we were fortunate to receive lots of helpful feedback. In this section we'd like to give voters a convenient look behind the scenes. We hope this additional information provides clarity on where funds arrive to, who votes on how they're allocated, how our projects are selected, and who our core contributors are, briefly showcasing what they've accomplished.

### 🗳️ Funds Allocation & Voting

The funds will arrive at `gnars.eth` which is our onchain treasury and DAO executor contract. It functions exactly as the Nouns DAO treasury does. Decisions are made through the usual voting process by [Gnars holders](https://etherscan.io/token/0x558BFFF0D583416f7C4e380625c7865821b8E95C#balances).


At present, there are 3960 Gnars in circulation across 683 holders. We'd like to bring attention to the 8 largest holders as shown in the above screenshot, as they're very influential within the DAO, and have our best interests at heart:

1. **[Non-voting](https://app.safe.global/settings/setup?safe=eth:0x0658f4eD17289144717713ADfFC2539eF7c2EF8e):** Instead of a founders' reward, 10% of Gnars are directed to the `shred.gnars.eth (0x06...EF8e)` multisig for onboarding shredders who are new to web3 and wish to participate in governance. Gami, who initiated the Gnars project, is instead rewarded in ETH as chosen by each bidder when placing bids in our auctions, using the bid slider. By default it's set at 90% treasury (`gnars.eth`) and 10% founder (`gami.eth`).
2. **[Gami](https://twitter.com/0xigami):** Hyperactive Nouns contributor, founder of Gnars, [Art Haus](https://art.haus), [Omega](https://omega.build), and author of [The Hypercommons](https://hypercommons.wtf/): A Manifesto for a Positive-Sum World. Visit his personal website at [gami.wtf](https://gami.wtf) for more information.
3. **[Ric Burton](https://twitter.com/ricburton):** Early contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem and talented kitesurfer/kiteboarder. Has shown huge support to Gnars and has even been known to offer Gnars holders access to his beachfront property.
4. **[Benbodhi](https://twitter.com/benbodhi):** Perhaps the first person to arrive in the Gnars discord server and cofounder of [Alps DAO](https://alps.wtf). Showing early support as a collector, he's been an avid community moderator and wearer of many hats. Nounish AF.
5. **[Satori:](https://twitter.com/0xsatori)** Also an early collector and contributor across all facets of the project. He has since become a valuable asset within various Nouns related teams and is the author of our [Gnarly News](https://gnarly.news) newsletter.
6. **[Geffenz:](https://twitter.com/geffenz)** One of the most active auction participants, known more recently for the creation of [Gnarsauce](https://thatsgnar.ly/shop/gnarssauce), settling more auctions than any other, and for creating our "Be Kind & Settle" meme that led to [settle.wtf](https://settle.wtf) being deployed.
7. **[DjjD:](https://twitter.com/TheDjjDAbides)** long time collector of Gnars having spent many hours in our Auctions discord channel along with Geffenz and other settlooors. He's a curator for [Redlion](https://twitter.com/redlion) and has been supporting us since our humble beginnings.
8. **[Blockbird](https://twitter.com/_blockbird):** prominent [Art Blocks collector](https://gallery.so/blockbird), photographer and world traveller, who 50/50 owns Noun 189 with Gami and was also responsible for the inception of Gnars over coffee at a cafe in Sydney, January 2022.

[The multisig](https://app.safe.global/settings/setup?safe=eth:0x0658f4eD17289144717713ADfFC2539eF7c2EF8e) mentioned at the top of this list at `shred.gnars.eth` was the original Gnars treasury, prior to our migration to a fully onchain nounish DAO in June this year. As well as receiving Gnars for shredder onboarding, it's used for proposal submissions such as this one, and the signers are as follows:

- [Gami (0x38...fffd)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x387a161C6b25aA854100aBaED39274e51aaffffd)
- [Benbodhi (0x80...87f6)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x80826180A2629206E3499B5167aaC8440E3F87f6)
- [Blockbird (0x6B...4DDD)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x6B67623ff56c10d9dcFc2152425f90285fC74DDD)
- [Davin (0xdf...d939)](https://etherscan.io/address/0xdfB6ed808fADddAd9154F5605E349fFF96E3d939)
- [Vlad (0x41...be4A)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x41CB654D1F47913ACAB158a8199191D160DAbe4A)
- [Oni (0x91...2937)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x91dCCAA260CC4616E1a6e6b693DB7207C5E42937)
- [22 (agreed to be removed)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x75Ee6eb3d8DAcf41eE2e5307090B197D3E1Cca6E)

Since no Gnars are distributed as founder rewards, all holders purchased all their Gnars themselves, including Gami himself, who is known to offer up some of his personal collection to deserving community members quite regularly.

### 🚧 Project Discovery & Selection

While we have showcased our past skatepark refurbishments, the future projects are yet to be determined. Gnars original focus was on sponsoring individual athletes, but we've learned that empowering them to uplift their entire community is far more impactful. We wanna help create local heroes!


📝 *Explore our Nouniversary events with the new Stories feature on [That's Gnarly](https://thatsgnar.ly/stories)*

Skatepark refurbishments and opstacle (giant noggle rail) installations have proven to be the gifts that keep on giving. Beyond our initial unveilings and launch celebrations, our creations are often seen across social media. As shredders become intrigued by our artistic installations, they are often inspired to capture and post tricks they perform on them.


📝 *One of many ways to see our creations surfacing on Instagram is [#gnars](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/gnars/top/)*

The selection process for which projects we pursue involves grassroots discovery by DAO members who are passionate about uplifting their communities. We plan to further utilise Prop House infinite rounds for rewarding grants to opportunities identified by members like those who've already delivered.


📝 *Prop House works well for us like this other round: [1147 votes for 19 props](https://prop.house/gnars/noungnarversary)*

Rather than handling each individual skatepark refurbishment / opstacle installation as separate onchain proposals, the Prop House protocol will allow us to be much more gas efficient. We've been running an infinite round that funds artists to complete their designs that end up on skateboards ridden by Tom Rohrer in [his tutorial videos](https://www.instagram.com/toms_tutorials/). Once the protocol hits mainnet, we intend on being power users and believe Prop House is one of the most powerful tools available to communities like ours.

- **[Your Name](https://twitter.com/your_handle):** A short sentence about notable things you've contributed to Gnars DAO recently (copy paste this and add below)

Early on, Gami took care of most administrative aspects of the project. But nowadays, there's no reliance on him or any single DAO member, since we've sufficiently decentralised, while maintaining a tight-nit group who self-organise around encouraging the community at large.

📝 *Shoutout [Wylin](https://twitter.com/ihwylie) for this rad and inclusive idea, it represents what Gnars are all about.*

### ⏭️ Moving Forward

**To summarise,** our next steps and expected deliveries:

1. Ship auction settlement leaderboard with Gnars NFT allocation (2 weeks)
2. Gnars proposal for Skatepark Refurbishment infinite Prop House rounds (2 weeks)
3. Gnars proposal for Contributor Rewards infinite Prop House rounds (4 weeks)
4. Help community through Prop House submissions for first project (4 weeks)
5. Identify at least 2 projects a month (expected delivery of 1-3 months each)

Keep in mind we are optimising for a serendipity machine as opposed to rigid plans with known outcomes. We expect plenty of competition among our community members all looking to have an impact in their own locales.

📝 ***It helps to view Gnars as a pod** who proliferate Nouns (as a service) into subcultures where we've deep networks and cultural sensitivities. Just so happens that we're using governance as an opportunity to introduce newcomers from our communities to web3.*

## 🤘 Shred the Nouns


In the essence of our name and spirit, what we at Gnars do best is *Shred the Nouns.* Our passion extends beyond the conventional, morphing the iconic Nouns into tangible sculptures that echo our shared values and love for our sports, creating spaces where art meets action, and stories come alive beneath our wheels.

As we roll forward with our vision, we deeply value the collective strength and insights of the Nouns community. Your continued encouragement, feedback, and trust are what make such endeavours possible. By embracing our proposal, you're not just endorsing a project, but championing the blend of art, culture, and authenticity that both Nouns and Gnars represent.

In gratitude for your time and consideration, and as a gesture of our appreciation, we've created a unique, commemorative NFT to mark the submission of this proposal. For the month of Shredtember, we invite you to [mint this FREE NFT](https://gna.rs/hypercycle) and all Zora Protocol Rewards will be split between Nouns and Gnars treasuries. A special thank you for being an intrinsic part of our journey.

## 🙏 Wrapping Up

Your voice matters. As we conclude, we earnestly encourage each member of the Nouns community to cast their vote with comment. Together, let's continue to reshape, reimagine, and literally Shred the Nouns.

Spun out of Gnars, it has become our culture zine of sorts, where everything is collectible. Has even been adopted by other communities such as [Surfguru](https://thatsgnar.ly/surfguru), [Downhill Nouns](https://thatsgnar.ly/dhnouns), [Flying Nomads](https://thatsgnar.ly/flyingnomads), [Shredding Sassy](https://shredit.tv/), and [Skateboarding Cares](https://skateboardingcares.com/) by Bob Burnquist!

Thank you for considering a future where passion, play, and purpose collide!
