  • tldr: 1 eth for title sponsorship of CastOut the Survivor inspired Farcaster game starting May 12 castout lil island slides (1) GM Farcaster is back with another season of CastOut, a Survivor inspired game designed to highlight the builders, games and fun found on Farcaster. You can find a recap of season 1 here: https://warpcast.com/nounishprof/0x2d4eb32c Our experiment focusing more on the tribes and less on the individual challenges was successful and provided a more fun experience in season 2 and we will be approaching it again that way with a focus on the communities (tribes) of Farcaster. There will be (at least) 8 tribes of 5 players with the final challenge as individual play leading to a final sole survivor (maybe a sole survivor - we have something up our sleeve -- yeah, there's alpha in this prop). Each challenge will be played on Farcaster or have a Farcaster nexus. This prop seeks to increase the prize pool while promoting Purple to the CastOut audience via a title sponsorship of 1 eth. We have 3 other sponsors: Lil Nouns DAO, Octant and Degen. The funds from this sponsorship will go towards the prize pool for the winning tribe. CastOut will run for 9 days from May 12 ending May 22 with a special GM Farcaster: CastOut edition each weekday Mon-Thurs at noon ET. Purple will be featured in the opening and closing credits with shoutouts during each show, as well as on GM Farcaster. Purple will also be featured on all branding, in the GM Farcaster newsletter, and in the CastOut channel.

  • This proposal is for continuation of the BuilderDAO Community Residents (Prof Werder and Satori) for January, February and March. Prof Werder and Satori have successfully been co-working on the community resident activities. Moving forward, Prof will continue focusing on the following: Overseeing all community activites and activations. Prop House substitution: upon receipt of OP tokens, use rounds or other grant platform, to create grant opportunities for DAOs on Nouns Builder or other approaches to promoting Nouns Builder (e.g. possibly a writing contest with Kiwi). Prof will design and execute this process once $OP is received. Explore new Warpcast channel tokens and curation with openrank to see if this would be useful for the community. Continue to seek out opportunities to showcase Nouns Builder at IRL events (e.g. Eth Denver and FarCon upcoming) as well as in media (podcasts, spaces, etc) Submit props for the good of the DAO when needed and assist others in writing proposals.

  • tldr: Appointing Prof Werder and Index as the DUNA Compliance Administrator and Reserve Administrator respectively. This prop lays out the relevant legal guidance, admin responsibilities and related information for the first admin term. DUNA legal entity Nouns is transitioning from a Cayman Islands Foundation with a Foundation Board managing the DAO's legal interests to a Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Association in Wyoming. Under the DUNA law, adminstrators are defined as follows: "Administrator" means a person authorized by the members of a decentralized unincorporated nonprofit association to fulfill administrative or operational tasks at the direction of the membership (Wyoming DUNA Act, 17-32-102. Definitions(a)(i)) Additionally, section 17-32-123. Selection of administrators; rights and duties of administrators provides guidance leaving it up to the DAO to lay out specific duties. The intention is for the Nouns DUNA Admins to serve as compliance officers to ensure that the DAO follows relevant laws, serve as conduits between the DAO and the legal and tax advisors, ensure that tax information is collected from grant recipients, and communicate relevant information to DAO members.

  • tl:dr: Lil Basel with PizzaDAO sponsoring PizzaDAO's event, Lil Nouns Lounge, and papering Wynwood area of Miami with 4 foot tall wheat paste lil nouns. Lil Basel -- our all day event last year -- was so much fun both bringing together Lil Nouners and those outside the Nouniverse. IRL activations continue to be one of the best ways to bring together the Lil Nouns community and to introduce those outside the community to our ecosystem. (images from Lil Basel 2023 event found here: https://www.lilnouns.miami/) Lil Basel 800x800 PizzaDAO party and Lil Nouns Lounge at Gates Hotel For this prop, we are proposing a 2.5 eth (estimated $7500 usd) sponsorship for PizzaDAO's event on Friday December 6, 6-9 pm at the Gates Hotel in Miami, plus a Lil Nouns lounge space, and banner and merch for the area. This lounge space will be available over the course of 3 days and will provide a meetup location where we can distribute merch and talk about Lil Nouns and Nouns. We'll also add a step and repeat photo area and POAP. They are expecting over 250 attendees for the Pizza DAO "Art Basil" party, plus thousands more in and out of the hotel for various events passing by the Lil Nouns Lounge.

  • This proposal is for continuation of the BuilderDAO Community Resident (Prof Werder) for April and May, 2024 (retro) Previous prop was for January, February and March. BuilderDAO was still in transition to Base in April and renewal prop was delayed. During the past five months I completed the following: Supported the Bali launch and L2 migration by working with the techpod and DAO members to ensure a smooth transition. Worked with the various DAOs to assist with L2 transitions, including executing Lil Toadz props and all of BuilderDAO's props to move to Base. Organized and executed 2 Prop Houses: managed the pre-Base move prop house and the Base grants prop house including launch, execution and promotion. Waiting on clearance for one more DAO to finalize last payment. BuilderDAO Base Jump prop house: https://prop.house/0x948324fcfbbb9bfc241de7e784fabc37469508ce DAOs on Base prop house: https://prop.house/0xad6338bd74beb113d83dbade9de7e6a54bdc479d Eth Denver: promoted BuilderDAO and Nouns Builder on a Gitcoin panel and at various side events. FarCon: coordinated the prop and execution of it for FarCon including support for FarHack, ordering and organizing deliver of purple noggles with BuilderDAO stickers on packaging, distributed noggles at FarCon as well as ensured promotion of Builder on Matcha's GM Farcaster banner. Also coodinated and self funded a "show your noggles" round in the Warpcast /builder channel.

  • tl:dr: Prop to show the BuilderDAO mini doc video on a LED truck billboard outside Purple's party at ETH Denver. This prop sets out a simple promotion of the BuilderDAO mini doc by DeeBee to be show on a moving LED billboard at ETH Denver. (see example below) The billboard will be parked near the Purple/Farcaster meetup to capture our target audience. Originally, this prop was also going to support Purple's event but after chatting with the organizers, it was decided that they did not need any additional funding. The trailer DeeBee has already prepared will be shown on a loop near the Purple event and driving in that general area. This plan has been confirmed with MemeBrains from CityDAO who is organizing the billboard. @memebrains on twitter: https://twitter.com/memebrains

  • tl:dr: Give Lil Nouns a big presence at Eth Denver for a lil budget by sponsoring PizzaDAO's event and incorporate mobile marketing, POAP and lil pizza giveaway. As we've seen with previous events, IRL activations are one of the best ways to bring together a community and to introduce those outside the community to our ecosystem. For this prop, I'm proposing a 2 eth sponsorship for PizzaDAO's event on February 28 6-9 pm at Sports Castle in Denver. They are expecting over 500 attendees for the main event. We'll be incorporating the same banner and POAP station at the event entrance. We'll also have a raffle prize with physical swag plus let's give away a pizza Lil Noun! In addition, I've been working with MemeBrains from CityDAO to secure a spot on a moving truck billboard that will be timed to go from the main Eth Denver event area to the PizzaDAO event with a "follow Lil Nouns to PizzaDAO" with art created by Borg. Total budget: 3 eth

  • BitNouns has attempted to upgrade art and had multiple challenges due to the complexity of the Nouns Builder interface and lack of documentation. This prop would reimburse the gas spent on 3 proposals which did not lead to a successful upgrade. Bitnouns will work with the BuilderDAO techpod to fix the issues around maintaining the old art while adding new traits before another attempt. And BuilderDAO will work on making this a more user friendly process. bitnouns tx In addition, due to similar challenges (but not as extreme) I suggest we reimburse Purple and The Park for art upgrades. Those transactions are noted below. Northstar Check Powering Onchain Communities: The BuilderDAO mission is to develop DAO infrastructure as a public good, enabling decentralized, inclusive, and transparent decision-making processes that empower onchain communities to shape their collective futures.

  • tl:dr: 3 prop houses to spark creativity around BuilderDAO's art and start to create excitement around the Bali upgrade With Nouns Builder's protocol upgrade imminent, let's launch a prop house to reimagine BuilderDAO's art in a fun way that gives a nod to the OP Stack chains: OP, Base and Zora. Prop House rounds would launch one week after passage of this prop. Each prop house will run simultaneously and will be open for two weeks with voting open for 5 days after. 5 winners from each round will be minted as a mini collection on Zora (3 collections, one on each chain) and receive all creator rewards from the collection. Top vote winner from each round also receives .5 eth Prop House Prompt Example: Reimagine the BuilderDAO art for Optimism. Incorporate elements of BuilderDAO's original artwork with a nod to OP and create an open edition. 5 winners will be part of a BuilderDAO mini collection on OP via Zora and receive all royalties from the mint. Top vote winner from the round will also receive .5 eth. BuilderDAO holders will receive an airdrop of the winning piece Upcoming upgrade is called Bali and incorporation of that is encouraged as well. Note: prop house winners will need to provide information for tax collection before dispersement of funds. This is not to create new art for BuilderDAO's generative pieces for the auction but to create original art that can bring attention to Nouns Builder, engage holders and non-holder artists, and reward BuilderDAO holders with some amazing art (one winning piece airdropped to each wallet - total 3 to each holder).

  • The Nouns x Pudgy Penguins high end collectible was developed, launched and sold out on NTWRK on December 8, 2023. The launch ended up on the same weekend as the Pudgy Penguin party at Art Basel and the collection's all time high floor price. Perfect timing attention wise. The delivery -- and the expected unboxing videos -- will be coming mid January and along with that will be the final part of the prop -- the Huddle buying a Noun! (igloo will be requested when ready!) Additional updates will follow upon delivery of collectibles and noun acquisition. sold out Related tweets: Main drop announcement:

  • tl:dr: GM Farcaster is a sufficiently decentralized morning show with your hosts @adrienne and @nounishprof bringing you 21 minutes of Farcaster news each Monday/Wednesday/Friday on Unlonely, with recordings dropped as Zora mints. At the end of September, Nounish Prof and Adrienne started a fun experiment in decentralized media -- a morning news show centered around the Farcaster ecosystem called GM Farcaster. We started with a soft launch and a lot of technical difficulties but found our way and now have produced 20 episodes as of this writing. All episodes can be found here on Zora: https://zora.co/collect/base:0xc678c2b1ced0f2a2666ae9b76a3be1d0ced09925 gmfarcaster logo.png Why 21 minutes? We wanted the episode length to be 30 minutes or less to make it bite sized, something you could enjoy with a cup of coffee. Did you know that it takes an average of 21 minutes to drink a cup of coffee? So 21 minutes seemed perfect! We also have limited time ourselves so this makes it manageable and sustainable.

  • Gift Nouns to three nounish pioneers: Mr. Boney, Messhup, and Sidenoun tl:dr: Honor three early pioneers of extension projects and nounish art with Nouns: Mr. Boney, Messhup and Sidenoun. This prop seeks to gift three forked Nouns to three of the first artists/builders who utilized cc0 to proliferate Nouns via unique art and extensions: Mr. Boney, Messhup and Sidenoun. As an important part of the virtuous cycle, the proliferation of Nouns cc0 art is key but often under recognized in its significance. These three artists in particular were very early builders in the nouns ecosystem, all were members of the first group of Nouncillors, and all have openly helped others in the ecosystem to help proliferate Nouns. Prop Inspiration: Important note - this idea came from me not Mr. Boney, Messhup or Sidenoun. As I was reflecting on my own nounish journey, these three kept popping up in my story, sometimes in obvious ways, other times just in the background, but always there. There are so many others who have also made strong contributions and should be recognized as well but this seemed like a great place to start. I reached out to all three and confirmed they would accept a Noun if given the opportunity and all agreed to hold it for a minimum of one year since we do not yet have a vesting contract in place. (Actually each one said they'd never sell when asked.)

  • tl:dr: fun with settlement data https://settlemints.wtf/ - The basic idea is simple, you get to see leaderboards showing who has settled the most auctions from our DAOs, who has voted the most, and which of those DAOs have had the most settlements. You can filter settlement data by user, DAO, or date, which is very useful for DAOs that are reimbursing for settlement, and to help users monitor their spending habits. In addition to the leaderboard pages, we are working on detail pages for users, DAOs, and projects. We are starting to pull data into these pages (no design yet). You can see some of that on The Builder DAO Page, where we have the next two episodes of BuilderBox w/ProfWerder and ToadyHawk. The same events show on ProfWerder's Page. Further down the road, you will be able to add the events to your Google Calendar, send them to your discord channel, and more. We have a unique opportunity to showcase different DAOs on nouns.build, and to drive traffic to auction settlement pages, whether that is on nouns.build, or an external settlement party site. Why? When the price of eth skyrocketed, most noun style auctions were not settled in a timely manner. This is still an issue for some of the DAOs who are on Ethereum, and those without a marketing budget, business experience, and/or the tech to setup bots. Just like Buider DAO, we want to make easy to use tools that navigate the sometimes complicated web3 data, and end up with something that helps share the word about nouns.build and L2.
