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.

Nouns.build has tons of interesting DAOs, whom have had little exposure to the Nouniverse. Our site is a way to expose end users to these DAOs, while getting users excited about settling auctions at the same time. Weird, right?

By offering NFTs and eth prizes and surprises, we will show evidence of more/faster settlements for all of the DAOS, by making it fun and rewarding to settle. We also want to add value for the DAOs, by giving them a place to share their events, link to related websites (stores, mints, aftermarket sites, anything), and to become a sponsor, if they would like to.

A great amount of time has been invested to create a code infrastructure that, once complete, will allow us to quickly:

  • Build out custom pages for projects
  • Create teasers to announce when auctions are ready to be settled
  • Show upcoming DAO events
  • Show featured DAOs
  • Create custom goodies - For instance, we could do a feature for DAO Wars with the current bids and end time for both factions.

Our database table of DAOs is built from information pulled from thegraph and goldsky for nouns.build DAOS, and entered by hand for Nouns DAO and forks thereof. But, users will eventually be able to add new projects and DAOs as we grow.

The transaction data comes from the blockchain using data from several different APIs, and we have written code to parse each of these in a meaningful and easy to use way. Currently, our scripts are run manually, but we are preparing to have these run when users access the site, so that we can create excitement for what their page load imports, such as new DAOs on nouns.build, new NFTs minted, and more!

We are receiving several requests and ideas every day, many of which are crazy cool, but do require considerable dev time. Those are listed below, and will be addressed when Round 1 is complete.

The site is the first step of the culmination of over a years' work by xargs, Santhosh, and houseofdrey, as they have studied and managed dataflow in regard to Nounish projects as they relate to the web3 transactions, events, and physicals that promote the DAOs. We have explored community reward by various methods. And, we have explored dozens of tools for the movement of that data into and out of discord, google cals, etc. Now we get to pull it all together!

Special Thanks to ProfWerder, Benbodhi, Toady Hawk, Symbiotech, Gami, and RFG, for all of the things they do to teach the rest of us.

The MVP

The work will be completed within 2 
months, depending on funding flow.
  • Finish detail pages for projects, DAOs and users
  • create space for sponsors, events, info and fun
  • set up filters for spam and deserted DAOs from nouns.build
  • update code to accommodate duplicate ids across chains
  • Web traffic and outgoing link reports

Our Proposal

Our ask includes retro funding, as well as covering xargs to continue to work on the site for another month, during which we would like to do an experiment with Builder DAO.

We would like to do a one month experiment where we give prizes to folks who settle, which we can base on different criteria to be determined. Some options:

  • the person who settles the most auctions in a specified day/week
  • a person who settles during a BuilderBox show
  • We could also have POAPs for when people reach 10 settlements, 25, 50, etc. We will market the promotion on twitter spaces and finish up the last core parts of our MVP.
  • We will tag the Builder DAO twitter account on winner tweets when your prizes are given away, and will mention you in twitter spaces as the prizes are announced.
  • We will maintain a link to Builder DAO at the top of our pages
  • We will do a twitter Space Kick Off Show on TNS Open Mic

Future Development: Ideas Are Flooding In!

This is a big list of everything that 
has been suggested, as well as things 
that obviously need to be done.
  • find a solution for lower res images for pfps
  • Create infrastructure and forms for users to add newsletters, events, products, links, etc, and associate them with users/DAOs/projects
  • Restructure db for Zora & other L2s & update code accordingly
  • Dive into data beyond settlements
  • Automate imports and create triggers that create fun notices to users

"Hey! You just found a new DAO on Nouns Builder!"
*Hey! You uncovered that someone just minted an XYZ!
*GM! Nouns DAO Africa needs settling. Hop to it for 10xp and a chance to win something
from our prize wallet.

  • Create a system to generate widgets for all of the DAOs which show current auction status, link to settle, link to bid, etc.
  • Load nns and ens and let user choose which shows up.
  • Add more web3 domain name providers.
  • On user detail page, show dangerous transactions (only to wallet holder)
  • A ticker at the top displaying current auction/ prices.
  • Show votes that you need to do and proposal stats on user detail page
  • Allow user to set their pfp and preferred nns/ens names (and update all related data)
  • Brainstorm a way to "mass settle" a bunch of auctions.
  • Experiment with xp and community funding. Setup a prize / community reward system
  • Security
  • Infrastructure for users/DAOs to create their own design, website, etc. i would love to let them mint the designs so that others can buy them as on Zora Create.
  • Binding wallets, so that users can see their combined settlements together h/t Benbodhi
  • Deeper integration of news, events, voting info, settling, and products
  • Translation
  • SEO / Google Integration
  • A way for us to quickly and cost effectively create custom versions of the site for DAOs, on our server, so that they can expand in different directions with their own design, which they can point their own domain to. This will enable them to share their own info without the interference of other projects showing up, or having to maintain a webserver. Eventually, we can structure appropriately, document everything, and setup a public repository.

The Budget

Our ask represents X% of the treasury, which was XΞ at the time of this writing.

We also ask for a donation of NFTs to start out our prize wallet! This will allow us to offer more prizes & share Nounish fun!
