# NounSeek ### Summary Allows anyone to put up a reward for minting a Noun with a specific trait and donates the funds to a non-profit chosen by the requester from an approved list of addresses. ### Flow **Creating a Request** - A user creates a `Request` by sending in funds along with data about the specific `trait` (e.g. Head), `traitId` (e.g. 54 aka 'Cone'), and an approved non-profit. - A `Request` can be scoped to a specific `nounId` or set to `ANY_ID`. - `ANY_ID` will never match to an non-auctioned Noun. - *Example:* - A 1 ETH request is made to mint a `computer` head Noun, for any Noun Id, with funds being donated to the Internet Archive **Adding to a Request** - Another user can create the same `Request` for `trait` and `traitId` combination, and specify the same charity or another. - Adding can be done at any time before a Noun with specific traits is minted, or during the auction of a matched Noun which allows others to contribute to the donation during the auction time window. - *Example:* - Alice makes 1 ETH request is made to mint a `panda` head Noun, with funds being donated to the World Wildlife Foundation - Noun 34 is minted with a `panda` head - Bob adds a 1 ETH `panda` head request, with funds being donated to the World Wildlife Foundation - Charlie adds a 0.5 ETH `panda` head request, with funds being donated tothe Rainforest Foundation - Noun 34 settles and Noun 35 is minted - A match between Noun 34 and `panda` head requests is made - 1.98 ETH is sent to the World Wildlife Foundation - 0.495 ETH is sent to the Rainforest Foundation - 0.025 ETH is sent to the `matcher` **Matching Requests to a Noun and sending the cumulative donations** - If a Noun was minted that matches one more more `Requests`, the match can only be made after its auction has been settled, and at any time during the auction of the next Noun. - *Example:* - A 1 ETH request is made to mint a Noun with `blue` glasses, with funds donated to the Coral Restoration Foundation - Noun 34 is minted with `blue` glasses - Noun 34 settles and Noun 35 is minted - A match between Noun 34 and `blue` glasses requests is made - 0.99 ETH is sent to the Coral Restoration Foundation - 0.01 ETH is sent to the `matcher` **Reimbursement for `matchers`** - To incintivize matching, a user who matches a Noun to a set of `Requests` will be automatically sent 1% of the total donations made to charity/public goods. **Removing a Request** - A `request` may choose to keep their `Request` active forever - A `requester` can remove their funds their `Request` if the current Noun on auction or the previously auctioned Noun does not match their requested `trait` and `traitId.` This allows 24 hours for a `matcher` to match requests to a Noun - *Example:* - A 1 ETH request is made to mint a Noun with `fries` accessory - Noun 34 is minted with `fries` accessory - Request cannont be removed - Noun 34 settles and Noun 35 is minted - Request cannot be removed - Noun 35 settles and Noun 36 is minted - Request can be removed - If the current or previous Noun does not match a `Request`, the `Request` can be removed any time up until `5 minutes` before an auction ends
