title: Towards a decentralized Nouncil

---

## TL;DR 

Requesting Ξ to fund the development of the [Nouncil Protocol](https://github.com/curelycue/nouncillors-contracts).

## Intro
Currently, Nouncil has 55 active members with a voting participation rate above 40%. Since joining Nouns DAO in 2022, Nouncil has cast an impressive 652 votes. As Nouncil grows, managing it within a Discord server has become increasingly challenging.

Initially, Nouncil was a space where anyone passionate about Nouns could jump in and start contributing independently.

Nouncil  protocol is a piece of technology that affords nouncillors an onchain identiy and the ability to govern onchain.

## Nouncil Protocol
Nouncil Protocol is a comprehensive approach to managing Nouncil's membership roll and treasury in a decentralized manner.

The protocol enables decentralized issuance and management of non-fungible, non-transferable tokens. These tokens come with governance power and symbolize membership within Nouncil DAO. 

The DAO holds complete control over the issuance of the tokens. The DAO holds complete control over its treasury. This system enables the collective management of  Nouncil's membership and a decentralized treasury.

## Nouncil DAO

Nouncil DAO manages the protocol and a decentralized treasury. Nouncillors collectively manage the DAO through the Nouncil Token.

**Metagovernance**: Nouncil DAO can use Nouns owned or delegated to its treasury to submit proposals and vote in Nouns DAO.


## Nouncillors Token
The Nouncillors Token is a custom ERC-721 token with onchain art.
* Non-transferable.
* Minted free via meta-transactions.
