Funding an Additional Nouns Car: "Extremely Nounish" for the Variety Bash and
Beyond

Wow! Time flies when you're having fun!

So in June, I flew down to Melbourne to meet most of the Variety team, which was
really cool. Scotty had organised with the car owner to pick it up and bring it
to their HQ where I was able to go and pick it up.

I stayed in Melbourne overnight after seeing the car in person for the first
time, then made the big drive starting super early in the morning so I could
make it back home in one day. It was a great drive, mostly uneventful, except
for when I decided to push the limits of the fuel tank... without a spare tank
on me. So I had a forced rest for about 2 hours in the middle of the day until I
was able to get more fuel to continue the journey. Shame the Nouns brand wasn't
all over it yet, it would have been a great billboard! But it was a good story
at least.

Once I got it home, I took it to the mechanic up here to get it checked over for
registration in NSW. It had a few issues that they were able to fix, then one I
had to take it to a locksmith for. But all this was done over a week or so,
after which I was able to register it and then swap the new registration plates
for the custom "NOUNER" plates I had on order.

I then removed the previous branding and decals, cleaned it all up and got it
ready for wrapping.

Meanwhile, I have been working with Messhup since the proposal passed (with some
ideas shared prior with excitement of course) to create the new designs for the
outside of the car. It took us longer than expected to come to the final
designs, but I am super happy with them. We had a bit of back and forth with the
printer/wrapper to get them just right for the size of the car and placement and
finally signed off on the final proof almost a week ago.

I drove the car a few hours away from me to leave it with the printer/wrapper
crew and pickup is scheduled for next Friday. I won't spoil the surprise with
designs, I will share photos of the car with its new clothes for full effect.

I also had the 3D pixel pigeon made and I'm painting it this week to attach to
the car when I get it back.

I had planned some photoshoots in Melbourne throughout July, but due to design
timing, these have been postponed until mid August, right before the Variety
Bash.

Tomorrow I'm driving most of the day to meet up with Kendall to pick up extra
tools and things we'll need to complete the car's readiness for the bash.

Everything is on track to be a fun and nounish time!

I can't overstate how much attention this car gets, even plain red. I have
already had countless conversations with people about Nouns and Variety and what
the car is for. I have been having fun talking to people IRL and hope I can get
more people interested in the world of Nouns. Something that never gets old is
the way we've weaved "noun" into so many things that give people a giggle during
explanations - noun o' clock, nounders, nouners, nouncil, nounish, nounify and
so on.

OUTCOMES OF THE GLITCH ARTIST GRANTS 2024

We are excited to share the inspiring outcomes of the Glitch Artist Grants 2024,
an initiative powered by the generous 15 ETH grant from Nouns. This PropHouse
round, designed to build on the momentum of the GLITCH3 residency, invited
blockchain artists and engineers to propose artworks and public goods as a
follow-up to the GLITCH3 residency. The grant has facilitated the creation of a
diverse range of projects, from NFTs to physical installations and performances,
with initiatives promoting open and innovative artistic practices within the
blockchain art space, listed below.

This grant has served as a powerful bridge between the GLITCH and Nouns
communities. Many of the participating artists and technologists, previously
unfamiliar with Nouns, have now been introduced to the Nouns ecosystem.

Overall, the grant has sparked numerous collaborative opportunities, including
new ideas and potential collaborations, enriching both the GLITCH and Nouns
ecosystems. Artists who were part of the GLITCH residency are now considering
how Nouns can enhance their work, whether by incorporating the iconic Nouns
noggles into their creations or by leveraging blockchain technology for greater
creative autonomy. Additionally, the interactions between GLITCH members and
Nouns holders during the proposal assessment and voting phases have fostered a
spirit of community and mutual support.

The GLITCH artists, now familiar with Nouns, are well-positioned to refer other
talented creatives to the Nouns community. They can also act as ambassadors,
spreading the ethos of Nouns and demonstrating its potential within the broader
blockchain art space. Besides, the success stories emerging from this grant can
inspire future Rounds.wtf, encouraging more artists and technologists to explore
the possibilities of blockchain art.

PLANTOIDS GARDEN BY PRIMAVERA DE FILIPPI

https://prop.house/0xd7744ae5e63d702e3e9f437943e530fae6c0cb4f/8

About the Installation:

The mechanical garden was produced and exhibited at the Fey Arts festival at
Chateau du Fey on May 2nd to 4th, 2024, bringing to life eight Plantoids and
other blockchain-based creatures.

The Plantoids were augmented with Artificial Intelligence and trained in order
to incarnate the personality of Alice in Wonderland, so that they could
entertain the visitors while they were having tea in the room of the chateau.
Every Plantoid had a speaker, and the humans could discuss with each one of
them, asking them questions or responding to the Plantoids philosophical
inquiries. The intelligence of the Plantoids was provided by a local LLM, in
order to preserve the privacy of the conversations.

Outside, a larger Plantoid would entertain the visitors, gossiping about what is
said inside and luring them into the tea room.

The underlying idea of the piece is to present the concept of Techno-Mancy, i.e.
the act of creating synthetic lifeforms that can interact with humans, using
blockchain as their operational substrate for agency and artificial intelligence
to acquire decisional autonomy.

Post-installation:

After the installation for Fey Arts, the Plantoids have been brought to another
exhibition at the Centre des Arts d'Enghien-les-Bains, in the north of Paris,
where they have been exhibited for 1 month.

Funding:

Funds from the Nouns grant were used to cover the cost of production of a new
plantoid, the audio equipment, and the computer to run the local LLMs and
Text-to-speech models.

LOOK TOUCH OWN AT ART BASEL DIGITAL ART MILE BY OONA

https://prop.house/0xd7744ae5e63d702e3e9f437943e530fae6c0cb4f/3

About the Installation:

OONAs Look Touch Own Series continued in Art Basel at the Digital Art Mile in
Art Basel Switzerland with an interactive installation and self-portrait
performance art video within the Objkt booth, curated by Kika Nicolela.

The Dressing Room was a performative installation which exposed my physical
changes. Scars, the tx hashes of the body. The non-fungibility of implants.

The Dressing Room created a changing room within the art fair accessible only
one by one. In place of the mirror, a screen plays “pre-op post-op”. Next to the
screen, the implants sat in a jewelry box underneath a surgical light.

“pre-op post-op” is a performative video art self portrait. OONA draws the same
marks the plastic surgeons drew on her chest before surgery. Recreating his
roadmap in a 60 second loop of permanence and erasure (the same duration as the
look touch own performance).

The work interrogates silicon and scars.

Silicon is both the object of OONAs examination - the implants- and silicon
chips are the foundational cornerstones of everything I use to make and share
this art.

During the Installation:

OONA gave two talks to university students: one group of undergraduates from the
University of Vienna and another group of Masters students from University of
Zurich.

Funding:

Funds from the Nouns grant were used to cover the cost of travel, accommodation,
and materials for creation of the artwork.

AI SCULPTURES ON BITCOIN BY GORDON BERGER:

https://prop.house/0xd7744ae5e63d702e3e9f437943e530fae6c0cb4f/33

About the Installation:

AI Sculptures is a series of interconnected artworks that merge AI image
generation with ancient physical art mediums such as clay. Exploring how the
role of an artist is being redefined in the realm of AI, by creating a custom AI
model trained on most of the physical artworks produced in Gordon’s lifetime.

The digital components of the artworks explore the use of novel capabilities of
Bitcoin Ordinals to explore concepts such as: digital permanence, network
effects, social graphs and evolution.

This installation by Gordon Berger was composed of 5 physical inscriptions, 2
latent space sculptures and 5 physical AI sculptures, all made and curated by
the artist himself. Exploring human creativity, style and materiality in
dialogue with algorithms. These artworks were displayed at a collective
exhibition which took place in Naples, Italy during NFTcc in May 2024.

During the Installation:

Gordon held a presentation, educating the audience on the possibilities of using
Bitcoin as a medium for digital artworks, as well as utilizing the capabilities
of the new Runes protocol.

Likewise Gordon held two guided presentations of all the artworks in the
installation. Explaining the whole creative and technical process behind the
pieces to a diverse audience. During the installation Gordon was interviewed by
the representative from the Sky TV station and multiple journalists.

Funding:

Funds from the Nouns grant were used to cover the cost of materials, the
creation processes associated with the artworks and travel expenses. On the
digital side the funding covers the costs associated with the creation of the
upcoming digital sculpture collection inscribed into Bitcoin.

CARBON OFFSET BY LB2

https://prop.house/0xd7744ae5e63d702e3e9f437943e530fae6c0cb4f/11**

About the Installation:

Carbon Offset is an immersive site-specific art installation presented in the
forest of the Château du Fey. The installation consists of a holographic screen
in front of which spectators are invited to expend their energy through movement
(dance, sport, etc.) in order to generate a virtual tree. Each tree generated is
unique, and is added to a virtual forest created during the festival.

Carbon Offset is a dual critique of the principles behind carbon offsetting.
First, it criticizes the green washing of large multinationals offering to plant
trees in exchange for a small fee for consuming their products. Second, by
representing the dominant discourse on individual responsibility in managing the
ecological crisis, highlighting the cynicism of the big polluting companies who
refuse to see it as a systemic problem. The dematerialized action of planting a
tree through an act of consumption is confronted here with the idea of planting
a digital tree through direct action, while being immersed in a natural forest
full of life.

Spectators are invited to stand on a small area in front of the screen where a
camera transforms their movements into data that is used to calculate the energy
they have expended. When enough energy has been expended through their movement,
their virtual seed grows into a tree on the holographic screen. This digital
tree then joins the virtual forest, forming a collective work of art.

While criticizing the cynical nature of our society, Carbon Offset offers people
the creation of a collective virtual forest. This highlights the complex reality
that small individual actions can also have a large impact when followed through
by all.

To conclude Carbon Offset offers the spectators the duality of our technological
world as an aesthetic individualistic yet collective experience. This art
installation stands on the edge of a techno utopian vision and the dystopian
reality of the ecological crisis.

During the Installation:

Visitors of the festival were invited to join the experience by walking into it.
Located at the edge of the forest the installation on a 5m tall holographic
screen could not be missed. Trees of light were hanging in the air, in between
tall trees. In front of the screen, a magic circle (LEDs in the ground) invited
people to enter. Upon entering, the installation shifted to its tree generation
mode and the experiencer was invited to perform a dance.

The overall reaction of the public was overwhelmingly positive, with people from
8 to 70 y old dancing to generate a tree. In total 234 people generated trees,
each motion recorded, each tree a unique creation stemming from the motion.

ANON BINAIRE GAN BY SAM J

https://prop.house/0xd7744ae5e63d702e3e9f437943e530fae6c0cb4f/18

About the Installation:

Anon Binaire is a luxury fashion brand by SamJ Studios and has been integrating
a strong blend of technology and analog creative processes into their
craftsmanship. Beginning with the conceptualization and initial physical
sketches of a.b’s first collection, we created a GAN to learn from the brand’s
aesthetic codes of design. Enabling a new model to iterate upon the guidelines
of a.b’s style expands the possibility of what can be included within the first
collection as we’re creating.

Compiling the original analog and GAN sketches into a final arrangement we can
choose the most compelling designs to ensure they last through the test of
immense digital output in the age of information overload.

As we’re curating our favorites we’ve created a test print portfolio of the
designs ready to us as a proof of concept for displaying IRL. Within this
portfolio we’re also engaging with tactile materials and fragrances, as well.

The Installation:

Anon Binaire is in talks with Digital Couture Summit in Milan to showcase the
works in September. This would include a discussion about the works and their
significance, as well as a showcase of the quality prints created of the
selected works.

Funding:

The Nouns grant funds were used to accommodate travel, print manufacturing, and
digital processing costs, and physical installation costs that will manifest as
we create the space in September.

JURY STATEMENT FROM THE ANIMATOR FILM FESTIVAL AWARDING THE RISE OF BLUS - BEST
SERIES

"For the award, the jury has been impressed by the pilot episode of a series
that is not conventional in its format nor in its production and distribution.
We are awarding a piece that has high artistic value, and where the passion of
all the artists that have worked on it is very evident in the result. The
outstanding quality of animation as well as the surprising world and atmosphere
that it portrays has led us to award it. We would also like to mention that the
new way of financing the series inspires us, and to signal out the bravery of
the creators in producing and distributing this work without any networks
involved. For all these reasons, we award “The Rise of Blus: A Nouns Movie”
directed by Billy Dao and Jamie Chung."

BRAND COLLABS, MERCH AND MORE

* "Quack and Lola" have applied for a trademark to streamline copyright
infringement appeals, and dealing with plagiarism that ran rampant.
* We started on our first brand collab which was a really cool kickoff in doing
branded content that directly brings short-term revenue to the brand and
directly offsets production cost.
* Quack was approach by Genshin's team to create a Duo X Quack X Genshin
collaboration which was loved by a lot of our fans. We are also in process to
brainstorming more pieces with Genshin.

WHY WAS THE BRAND COLLAB IMPORTANT?

* Instead of a straight promotion, we only did this to create a story that fits
in the Quack worldview instead of other way around.
* Duolingo and Genshin are two of the biggest education and gaming brands know
in the consumer space. It doesn't get bigger than this.
* We plan to do more of this in a very picky capacity to have tasteful mix of
paid vs unpaid media explored via the account(s).

QUACK MERCH

* People have been creating Quack related IRL goodies for quite some time now.

* We wanted to create our first merch capsule to be a wholesome canonical quack
drop which than then be expanded to be a venue to do Artist X Quack collab
drops in the future.

You can see the currently planned capsule below

Al of Quack's merch have a strong ⌐◨-◨ undertone and we are excited to see how

THINGS GOT BIGGER

FINAL PROPDATE

WE HAD OUR PROPOSAL APPROVED ON MARCH 16TH AND DELIVERED IT 4 MONTHS LATER, ON
JULY 11TH.

If you haven't watched it yet, watch it here, leave a comment, and come back.

LET YOUR DAY BE A SUNNY DAY 😎

Want something to feel the vibe while reading this propdate?

Here is the Sunny in Nicaragua playlist. Suggestion: search for 'Guts, Lorina
Chia - Peaceful Life' and enjoy the vibe while reading this update.

SUMMARY:

New Media Partner | Premiere Event | Press Relations | Behind the Scenes | The
Volcano

NEW MEDIA PARTNER - WOOHOO CHANNEL

WOOHOO is our new media partner. They started as a surf channel on TV years ago
and are now one of the first in Brazil to mix gaming, web3, and sports.
Naturally, Sunny is perfect for this partnership, as an athlete who bridges both
worlds: sports and web3/communities.

Conquering a Volcano was launched on their YouTube Channel with 1.5k views in
less than 24h and is growing day by day. Community members have shown their
support in the comments.

August/September, it will be launched on their fast channels, including: Pay TV
(Brazil: 5 different paid TV cables), Samsung TV (Brazil), Pluto TV
(International), and their streaming channel Woohoo Video App.

Not only on YouTube, but the launch of our teaser was also a collaboration with
Woohoo's Instagram.

Sunny's IG always had good engagement.

Woohoo's owner is impressed by the Nouns ecosystem. They are developing IRL
communities with influencers organized by their channel categories.
Additionally, we are onboarding Woohoo to Farcaster.

Sunny has been invited to become a content creator for Woohoo’s media channels
starting now!

🚨 SPOILER ALERT: Sunny will have his own season on Woohoo! 👀👀

WHAT’S NEXT?

The impact of Prop 512 on Sunny's career was outstanding. He was able to compete
in five world Qualifying and Pro Junior championships.

Best Result So Far Pro Junior:
South America Ranking: 11th place

* 3rd Place - Pro Junior - Peru
* 13th Place - Pro Junior - Peru and Brazil
* High Score - Pro Junior Brazil (see Propdate V2)

Media visibility he has gained since then continues to grow. Now, the
possibility of competing in international championships is becoming a reality,
bringing him closer to his goal of reaching the top. It’s a long journey, but
it’s worth it for someone with such talent.

Now that we’ve built a solid team with Sunny, we will bring even more value to
the Nouns ecosystem.

As mentioned in Propdate V2, we presented a side proposal for a collaboration
between nounish communities, suggesting that Gnars host a premiere event for our
documentary.

The event was a Public Good action with no ticket charges and free entry for
everyone. It featured a beach house with a sea view, welcome drinks (non
alcohol) for two hours, a music band, an open-air cinema, live art, and an
incredible vibe.

Not much more to say, it was perfect. See for yourself!

Event Video

With this event, we were able to reach and involve other community members.
Special thanks to Josué from Nouns Graffiti, who accepted our invitation and
traveled to our event to create live art. Also, a shout-out to Ilustradora for
designing the incredible banner for Sunny.

Public: 120+

We reach our goal to make more tangible and real our ecosystem to web2 people,
showing Nouns and Gnars. We built in the curiosity about the noggles so they can
come look for us and understand this world.

Now it’s onboarding time!

Marketing Strategy

We organically boosted our marketing strategy by inviting influencers. We
produced and sent merch gifts to them.

You can see all the media created by influencers and others with the gift merch
and during the event on Sunny’s IG:

Hiring Virei Noticias as our PR was crucial for raising awareness about our prop
and Sunny’s name in the market.

Their primary focus was to highlight 'the first pro surfer sponsored by crypto,'
noting that Sunny has been sponsored since 2022.

In mid-June, we launched a new campaign promoting the documentary on Woohoo’s
channel, facilitated through their contact.

Since our V2 Propdate, after May 22nd, we have been featured in over 20 web3 and
surf websites.

Highlighting the best coverages:

* Portal do Bitcoin - 19.096 views
* BR Cointelegraph - 11.897 views

Organically, we achieved coverage in more than 10 websites related to the
championship, highlighting Sunny or discussing the event.

* Flamboiar About the documentary

DETAILS AND IMPACTS OF PROP 512

There are people from all around the world staying at Miramar. With Sunny
walking around wearing his 'square glasses' on top of his board and a filmmaker
following him everywhere, we managed to pique the curiosity of many.

We produced merchandise and distributed it to friends we made along the way,
including hotel owners and the bartender team, who wore their hats daily.

One of our goals was to introduce pro athletes to web3 and new funding way, as
we did with pro skiers Woodsy (67k followers) and Ferdi (30k followers).

PUBLIC GOOD WITH CHARLES

Charles, Sunny's father and coach, not only trained Sunny but also offered free
natural workout classes daily to hotel guests, showcasing the potential of
Sunny’s workout movement.

He is a U.Natural certified coach.

All those behind the scenes are permanent at Sunny's and Rickyday IG through
Sunny's POV and Rickyday's POV.

WATER PHOOTAGE AND COLLAB POST

In our Prop, we had an official filmmaker traveling with us 24/7 to capture all
the land footage and edit our documentary, Gustavo Vieira from AVA Films. I
recommend him to everyone; you’ve seen the documentary.

We also needed to hire a water filmmaker for surfing content, and we connected
with renowned surf photographer Renato Tinoco along the way.

All posts made during this trip were in collaboration with various Instagram
profiles to maximize reach, and we are currently posting in collaboration with
Woohoo’s and Miramar's profile.

Here are some posts on IG so far:

* Arrival
* Board
* kids
* Volcano and cultural
* Father training and surf
* Nouns Sticker
* Experience
* Sunrise
* Flamboiar about the Premiere
* Back to Nica

ADDITIONAL DETAILS:

Big Foot Hostel, a contact provided by Orcarlos (thanks again), played a crucial
role in enhancing our impact.

We spent almost two months planning with them our arrival in Nicaragua.

We participated in a beach cleanup with the hostel manager, Luisa.

In the afternoon, we visited their Turtle Care Project and met the kids they
work with.

Here are some curious facts:

* We produced special merch for the kids;
* We played educational games with them;
* We demonstrated the possibilities of recycling plastics;
* We discussed how recycling could benefit Nicaragua;
* We purchased two incubating turtle egg bags: one in the name of Nouns and the
other for Sunny and the team.

Video from that day

As Luisa said, Sunny was an inspiration for these kids. They had never had
contact with surfing or a pro surfer before, and they were super excited to
receive their gift kits. Before we left, every child wanted a picture with him.

In Nicaragua, there is a cultural practice of eating turtle eggs, leading locals
to search for and sell these eggs to restaurants.

To address this issue and support the local economy, Big Foot Hostel buys the
eggs, places them in incubation bags, and releases the turtles with the kids
once they hatch.

As promised, we donated $1,500 USDC to support this cause, including the turtle
care project and activities with the kids.

We did it, guys! We conquered an Fuc...ing massive mountain with a lava flow
inside. We still can not belief that it actually happened.

From now on, Nouns can say a volcano was conquered.

Conquering a volcano was a life-changing experience.

Big Foot Hostel offers volcano boarding services.

We woke up at 1 AM, drove 3 hours to the volcano, waited for the sunrise for
better shots, and then started climbing.

Cerro Negro has 728 meters, and its last eruption was in 1999. It is the only
volcano in the world where you can descend using a sandboard. We put our
protective suits and went down it.

THE MESSAGE BEHIND THE SCENE

For those wondering why a surfer would decide to climb a volcano and what that
has to do with surfing or his career, there are two answers.

One of them we can reveal here: in addition to training on a wave he had never
surfed before and preparing for future competitions, Sunny wanted to show how
Web3 and its communities are viable alternatives for athletes to boost their
careers.

THE SECOND MESSAGE BEHIND THIS PROJECT, IS IN THE DOCUMENTARY, AT THE TOP OF THE
VOLCANO, IN SUNNY'S OWN VOICE:

'Many people don't know, but volcanos can go through several periods of
dormancy, without activity, when conditions are not the best...

But, one day, when least expected, they become active again, ready to release
all their energy.

We are like them. We need the right conditions and opportunities around us for
all our potential to be activated.

The right moment has come.'

In the name of SUNNY's TEAM:

We are deeply greatful for this opportunity and for trusting in us.

Hope we exceed your expectations.

Thanks.

Spec and Economic Audit of Alternate Forking Mechanics (incl % Exit)

Dear Nouns Community!

We are excited to share the results of our analysis of different exit mechanics.
For those interested in the research, please read our blog for a summary of the
results or the technical analysis.

For those who do not have time to do both, here is a summary of the most
promising results:

To address the arbitrage issue in Nouns DAO, three potential solutions are
identified:

1. Contribution-based exit scheme with treasury cap: This approach ties payouts
to the auction price, caps them relative to the treasury size, and aligns
them with treasury contributions. It effectively mitigates arbitrage and
ensures fair payouts.

2. Tax in the current pro-rata scheme: Introducing a tax on payouts during a
ragequit after a fork reduces financial incentives for arbitrage. It's
simple to implement but may seem unfair to genuine participants and could
lower auction participation. Deciding where the taxed funds go adds
complexity.

3. Commitment to a spending path: This solution requires the DAO's commitment
to consistent spending over time, keeping the treasury size in check and
lowering future payouts. It can effectively limit arbitrage but depends on a
credible commitment to a specific spending path.

Choosing the right strategy can ensure the treasury supports community projects
rather than being exploited. We believe that a contribution-based exit scheme
with a treasury cap, our chosen solution, holds great promise for the future of
Nouns DAO.

Greetings, time travelers! ⌛ We're excited to bring you the second update from
our animated series, "Nogglers - Mavericks of Time." We've made significant
progress in multiple areas and have started new steps in the production.

ANIMATION

We currently have a team of 18 animators that are hard at work on the pilot. Our
first episode consists of 240 scenes, with 40% of the animation already
completed.

Check out the boys trying on the Noggles for the first time!

BACKGROUNDS

FabValle is leading a team of three illustrators who are crafting beautiful
backgrounds, from school hallways to old Florence. Their progress is in step
with the animation team at around the same completion rate.

SOUND DESIGN AND SOUNDTRACK

Concurrently, our audio production partners are creating the soundscapes and
soundtracks that will bring the episode to life. We can't wait for you to tune
in!

RIGGING, VOICE ACTING, AND SCENE SETUP

These steps, mentioned in our last update, have now been completed. Below, you
can find some behind-the-scenes material showcasing this progress.

MARKETING INITIATIVES

Our expected launch window for the pilot episode is October. To reach the
largest possible audience, we are ramping up our marketing efforts. Within the
next few weeks, we will start a social media campaign to create excitement
around the series and the brand as a whole.

We are currently producing animated shorts for Instagram and other platforms.
These shorts feature our main characters in relatable and nostalgic scenarios
that resonate with a large audience.

We are also working on a couple other surprises in the background that we will
be able to share soon!

Make sure to follow some of the team on Warpcast: Bower, JP, and FabValle.
Thanks for reading through. Until next time - Steven, Will, and the Nogglers
team!

Dear Community,

First and foremost, thank you for your incredible patience and support. We faced
significant challenges after our project was hacked, which set us back
considerably. However, we are thrilled to announce that we have overcome these
obstacles and are now in the QA phase for our playable demo!

Our marketing plan for the game's playable build has kicked off and will
continue up until the exclusive and public release day. In parallel, we are
working hard on debugging and sound design.

Excitingly, members of the Nouns community will soon be among the first to play
the game, providing us with invaluable final feedback.

Smash Bros Coast to Coast: Gaming Events in Atlanta, LA, and NYC

534 PROPDATE #1

The proposal and the successful passing of the proposal sparked some great
Reddit threads. If interested, you can check them out here:

1. Nouns Esports is proposing hosting an event with the same format as Summit
in December of this year
2. Nouns' proposal "to host 3 premier Smash Events in 2024" has passed

TIPPED OFF 15

At Tipped Off 15, Nouns was integrated as the tier 1 sponsor of the event. Nouns
Esports was prominently featured throughout the broadcast, maintained a booth
on-site, unveiled the Nouns Fest Showcase trailer, and advertised the launch of
our newly updated website, Nouns.GG, which has replaced Prop House for our
community.

Tipped Off 15 will be remembered as one of the premier tournaments of 2024. It
was the only open event featuring all of the top 10 players, and it attracted
more top 20 players than any other competition.

The event was streamed across three channels, peaking at 32,605 concurrent
viewers during the grand finals, where C9.Mang0 triumphed over Nouns.CodySchwab.
The event amassed a total of 262,616.9 hours of live stream watch time and
garnered over half a million VOD views, making it one of the most watched events
of the year.

CONTENT

Our content team arrived at Tipped Off 15 early to capture exclusive
behind-the-scenes footage at Mang0's bootcamp. We have filled our channels with
short-form content from this event, which has amassed over 200,000 views to
date. This unprecedented attention on our YouTube channel can be attributed to
our unique access to the world's top players, thanks to the event director,
Ohan.

Check out the shorts on our Youtube channel.

BOOTH

At our booth, we gave away Noggles/chocolate and sold t-shirts/hats. While sales
were modest, we successfully distributed all of the chocolate and Noggles.

Our key takeaways included:

* Increasing booth activity, such as setting up a game station with scheduled
activations featuring our players.
* Adding signage to provide information about Nouns from a distance, sparking
curiosity without requiring direct interaction.
* Using a clothing rack to better display our merchandise.

CONVERTING TO NOUNS.GG

A major focus of sponsoring Tipped Off 15 was to kick off our journey for the
second half of the year. During the event, the Nouns Fest Showcase voting round
was open, aiming to bring awareness to our new website, which functions
similarly to Prop House but operates off-chain and offers various login options
besides a crypto wallet, enabling greater adoption.

We anticipated the event would lead to an influx of new accounts, which it did.
However, the Tuesday after the event, one of the candidates, Soonsay, sent out a
tweet asking his audience to vote for him, generating more traffic in one day
than the entire weekend.

BRAND INTEGRATION

Noggle lanyards were a huge success and were seen everywhere throughout the
weekend. Players wore them during matches on stream, in photos, and around the
event area. Lanyards and competitor passes often become collector's items that
fans cherish. One of our key takeaways was to alternate the Noggles with
Nouns.GG branding to drive more traffic to our site.

Before the top 4 matches, we played the Nouns Fest Showcase trailer, which was
very well received. You can view the trailer here.

Another highlight of our brand integration was the theater shot of everyone
wearing Noggles. We used Klim's lo-fi paper Noggles to do this cost-effectively.
Once everyone was seated in the theater, we distributed Noggles and kindly asked
everyone to prepare for the photo. Ohan, the Event Director, came on stage to
thank everyone for attending and prompted them to pose for this memorable shot.

The Nouns Badge initiative was unsuccessful. Our community lacks a strong
minting culture, and many users do not have Ethereum readily available for
transactions. Although we are a few steps away from cultivating a healthy
minting culture, we will continue to iterate and streamline the process to
facilitate easier user onboarding.

NEXT UP

Now that Tipped Off is behind us, our focus shifts towards Nouns Fest. We have
confirmed our 10 players, with 2 of them being voted in on Nouns.GG.

Thank you for reading. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate,
you can find us on Discord or Warpcast. ⌐◨-◨

Going Well

* Collaborations: Successfully managed two paid collaborations with major
brands this past month. Partnered with McDonald's for Yellow Day on June 20,
the happiest day of the year, and with a local supermarket brand, resulting
in over 2,000,000 views across platforms. This success has attracted interest
from other big brands, moving us closer to our goal of self-sustainability.
* Recurrent Funding Model: Created a model for brand collaborations funding
acts of kindness aligned with our core values.
* Successful Shorts: Our shorts are performing well, with ongoing commitments
from McDonald's for further collaborations.
* Formats: Developed three main long-form video formats based on successful
content from the past three months.
* Team Building: Our team is adapting well to the new workflow and streamlining
processes.

Not Going Well

* Major Productions: Struggling with larger video productions due to political
campaigns and weather conditions. Major activities are planned for August and
September.
* Bureaucratic Hurdles: Delays in obtaining permits and access to private
spaces.
* Thumbnails: Struggling to find a consistent thumbnail format that garners
attention. Significant effort is being put into improvement.

Lessons Learned

* Niching Down: Our best-performing content aligns closely with what our
audience wants the most. Doubling down on these areas and continuously
improving our offerings within this niche will propel us toward our goals.
* Operational Challenges: Addressing bureaucratic and production hurdles early
can improve efficiency.

Priorities

* Maintain Consistency: Keep uploading videos consistently to maintain audience
engagement.
* Get Monetized on YouTube in the Next 3 Months.
* Produce 5-6 Videos per Month: Focus on our three main video formats to
increase content production.
* Secure High-Impact Collaborations: Focus on partnerships that can help
families in the Dominican Republic.
* Improve CTR: Use A-B-C testing to enhance click-through rates.

June Propdate ⛺️

Hey Nounsfolk, here's what we did during June —

Onchain replies

We noticed the (unintended) use of Revotes as a way to reply to a vote or
comment, so we added a dedicated Reply function to lean into this behavior.

Transaction simulations

Added simulations of custom transactions to the proposal editor as well as on
each active proposal page. Click the simulation status indicator
(checkmark/cross) to see simulation details on Tenderly.

Distribute $nouns for Revotes

Running an experiment to reward $nouns to the top Revoted voters of the month.
Here is the breakdown for June:

Other improvements

* Moved testnet support to sepolia.nouns.camp/
* Added support to specify a custom ABI (instead of using Etherscan ABI) in the
prop editor
* Quorum is now displayed in the main list view, and ‘max possible quorum’ is
displayed on the prop page
* Link to Warpcast profile — Addresses verified on a Farcaster account now have
a link to the corresponding Warpcast profile

Metrics

* Votes cast: 77% (of all votes)
* Proposals created: 94%

NOUNS.BIZ DASHBOARDS

We are approaching the finish line on this proposal!

1. Nouns DAO Rest API
Our Rest API is live at api.nouns.biz . We have all proposal and auction
data available, as well as calculated stats like treasury value, book value,
and asset outflow / inflows. The data is free and available to all Nounish
builders. The API is still in development and endpoints may change - contact
us for dev support and change notifications!

2. Nouns.Biz Stats and Graphs Pages
Using the Rest API we built Nouns.Biz Stats and Nouns.Biz Graphs. These are
collections of live data and visualizations, intended to be dense references
for community members. The data is live and automatically updated. The
current design is temporary.

3. Nouns.Biz Dashboards
The final step! We have the data and are currently building clean, elegant
Treasury and Fork dashboards. These will include more curated data sets, a
simple and fast way to understand the DAO. This is also the beginning of an
entire Nouns.biz redesign.

4. Nouns DAO Contract Upgrades
We upgraded our Nerman.js SDK to support all of the new contracts launched
in the client incentive upgrades of Prop 532. This wasn't in our proposal
scope but was necessary work to keep all of our bots and services running.

THE LAST UPDATE FROM CORAL AND SHARON FOR THE FIRST STAGE OF THE NOUNS SHELTER
PROJECT

Hello everyone! It's Nouns Shelter! We are excited to share our last update!

After 6 months, we have finally completed the first phase of Nouns Shelter!

After we finished the Mini Shelter Movement in 3 cities, we launched the TNR
program in Beijing in April. We worked with local pet hospitals and volunteers
and completed the sterilization operations on 100 stray cats and dogs in 2
months, including cats living in our mini shelter.

Zhongfen, a former stray cat at Nouns Shelter Shanghai, faced kidney failure
this spring. One of our volunteers sent her to the veterinary clinic, but due to
the steep medical costs, we decided to cover half the expenses. Thankfully,
Zhongfen was discharged from the clinic this Wednesday, and now she continues to
recover under foster care. Let's all support her recovery journey!

We are contacting local animal organizations and animal lovers in Southeast Asia
and Europe to learn about local stray animal information. This will provide us
with a lot of support in the second phase. We have already had in-depth
conversations with partners in Vietnam, the Philippines, Ukraine, and Spain.

This is our summary review video of the first stage. We're thankful you've been
with us for this journey thus far and hope you enjoy watching!

Now, We are starting the second phase of preparations. Our new candidate has
been submitted and we are actively seeking feedback! Please read and give us
some feedback and support!
(https://nouns.wtf/candidates/0x655a0a4b78dd5dd90cbd9d4a5db3ab3ff5311619-nouns-shelter-2nd-stage)

Finally, a special thanks to all the Nouners who helped us during the first
phase! Let's continue to show people in the real world a different world onchain
and make a real impact!

Thank you all,
Coral & Sharon

UPDATE FOR PROP #369

Hello Nouns Community!
Thanks to your incredible support, NoggleChanger is making a significant impact
in Japan. :tada:

IN APRIL

we proudly sponsored the Nouns Esports Japan team at EVO Japan 2024! Seeing our
Noggles on the monitors was truly inspiring, and the team was thrilled. It was
an honor to support such talent. ⌐◨-◨

IN MAY

At an event in Tokyo, Japanese NFT influencer @Ikebaya( https://x.com/IHayato )
wore our NoggleChanger glasses. He was deeply moved that my proposal (phop369)
was approved by Nouns, allowing us to bring real Noggles to life!

we plan to exhibit at an event in Yokohama in July! (I hope to attend EDOCON
Tokyo too, if I can find childcare...)

Thank you, Nouns Community, for making this dream a reality!
In conjunction with EDOCON Tokyo, we are also considering restarting online
sales of NoggleChanger. Let's continue to spread the magic of ⌐◨-◨ together.

APRIL 5TH - MAY 29TH, 2024

Continuing to provide a summary of all activities that are happening at Ndurumo
primary school, Kiyanga, Rwoburunga Sub-County, Mitooma District in regards to
the Nouns Funded Proposal to Transform Davin's former primary school into the
first Nouns School in Africa

START OF CONSTRUCTION

Construction on the Nouns School site #1 started officially on 10th April, 2024.
We kicked off with the Foundation for all the 7 new blocks which are
Administration Block, Tech Block, Lower Primary Block, Upper Primary, Pump and
Electrical house, Kitchen and Dining.

PROJECT DELIVERY CHALLENGES

As we continue to celebrate the progress of the Nouns School project, we
acknowledge the challenges faced in delivering the community water part of the
initiative.

The drilling company we hired encountered significant difficulties, as their
heavy drilling truck was unable to navigate the steep and rugged roads of the
Rift Valley. Prioritizing safety above all, we have decided to delay the water
project by an additional 30 days while we seek alternative solutions.

Despite this setback, our commitment to providing a reliable water source for
the school and surrounding community remains unwavering. We are staying positive
and proactive, confident that with perseverance and support, we will overcome
this obstacle and achieve our goal.

GROUND BREAKING EVENT W/ HYPERS KIDS AFRICA

The groundbreaking ceremony was a momentous occasion attended by community
leaders, parents, and enthusiastic children, all united by the shared vision of
a better tomorrow. As we embark on this exciting project, we look forward to the
continued support and involvement of our community in making the Nouns School a
beacon of excellence in education.

In the culture of Nouns DAO Africa we carried crocs as gifts that were handled
to the Children of Ndurumo by Hypers Kids Africa. A dance montage by Hyper Kids
was viewed by the multitude of children who came to the ground breaking event.

Hey Nounsfolk,

Brief update this month as the majority of our time has been spent in
preparation for Nouns Governor (v4). More specifically, we’ve dealt with heaps
of tech debt and are now in a good position to manage the new contracts and make
sure Camp remains reliable during the transition.

Other noteworthy:

* Revotes is getting a ton of use, leading us to believe we should further
explore this path of ‘socialmediafication’
* We improved on the ‘Comment with Farcaster’ feature — it can now be used for
Candidates and recent casts show up on the main page feed
* Added support for Client Incentives

* Implemented a minimal first version, including relevant DAO changes, request
audit funding and got a No from the DAO
* The code is available on GitHub and the factory contract deployed to mainnet
and sepolia (addresses in the readme file on GitHub)

NOUNS (NFT) GOVERNOR

* Developed a proof of concept with the scope we had in mind
* Recently discovered potential attacks that put the design’s feasibility at
risk
* Working on blog posts that detail the issues we found and alternatives we’re
considering

GOVERNANCE ON L2

* The motivation we see behind this long-standing idea is to primarily gas cost
reduction, both for proposing and voting
* Our plan is to think about this problem from first principles, to list
multiple approaches and articulate their pros and cons in a blog post, then
ask the community for feedback so we might choose a direction that has
consensus
* Planning to spend more time on this soon after we resolve the Nouns Governor
challenges mentioned above

GOALS & STRATEGY

Our main goal for this prop is to 10x our audience from 80k to 800k followers.
We are currently at 280K followers.

Even though follower growth is usually not linear, our assessment is that we are
on track to hit this goal within this proposal's timeframe.

We have executed on the 3 strategies that we outlined in our proposal:

> * Double down on 3 Artists and keep on iterating to reach tens of millions of
> people
> * Develop new content that will resonate with our community
> * Experiment with new formats (e.g. length of show) to breakout on YouTube

Three Artists continues to be our flagship show, with more recent episodes
hitting a million views consistently.

EXPERIMENTS WITH LONG FORM

We have piloted two long-form versions of Three Artists on YouTube and have not
yet unlocked growth.

We have more to learn here. And because it takes 3-4 weeks to produce long-form
Three Artists we decided not to iterate on long forms in the short term. We
think long-form is important and plan to revisit it in the future.

OUR PILOTING PROCESS

We have been allocating about 75% of our time to iterate on Three Artists and
put out a weekly episode. 25% of our time went to working on piloting new
concepts.

Piloting is how we find new hits and diversify our content portfolio, and reach
new audiences.

This is how we created Drawn Together, which was a very successful pilot.

For the next few months we are dialing up our piloting process and will spend
66% of our time piloting, and 33% on Three Artists.

ACTIVATING OUR AUDIENCE

Through our content, we are building a community of creative people who are
curious and love creativity and art. We think it's an opportunity to activate
this audience and get them to fall in love with Nouns and engage with the brand.

In the next few months we want to run the following experiments:

1. Leveraging brand partnerships to bring our audience value.
2. Trying an off-chain version of "rounds" or Nouns DAO itself by funding our
community to create their own nounish projects.
3. Helping amazing artists from our roster put proposals on chain and get
funding (and sharing the process on our channels along the way).
4. Generally introducing Nouns to our audience in a more explicit way.

Hey time travelers! ⌛ Straight from the 90s, we're here to drop some exciting
news about the series "Nogglers - Mavericks of Time," brought to life in
Proposal 456.

CONCEPTS

During the first month, our team dove deep into concept development, laying the
groundwork for the series, which allowed us to set a narrative and visual
direction. Spot the boys skateboarding down the hills of San Francisco and
Leonardo da Vinci trying out some Noggles!

SCRIPT

Alongside concept creation, we started writing the script, which was finalized
in mid-February. Finalizing the script took us a couple of weeks longer than
planned because we went through a few revisions with the goal of creating the
best possible story. You can read the final version here, but be aware, spoilers
ahead!

STORYBOARD & ANIMATIC

Following the script, we advanced to the storyboard and animatic stages, both of
which are also complete. Sneak peeks? Yes, please!

RIGGING

The rigging process has been underway for the past month. Our main characters,
Steven & Will, are fully rigged, and we are currently working on completing all
side characters.

VOICE ACTING

The casting of our actors has also been finalized. We held a casting process,
receiving several auditions before settling on our final choices. Recording of
the main characters is currently underway. Meet Kato, the voice behind Will!

TIMELINE

Throughout the creative and production process, we've experienced small delays.
These are attributed to our commitment to ensuring the highest quality final
product that we aim to achieve. Below, you can find our updated timeline,
including our next steps.

Stay tuned to @thebower and @eusoujp.eth on Farcaster for more sneak peeks and
smaller updates coming your way soon! Thanks for reading through. Over and out,
Steven, Will, and the Nogglers team!

Dear Nouns Friends,
I hope this long overdue update finds you well. After one hella’va health

As I ease back onto the computer, I’m putting together a proper deep dive update

I will say a huge amount of progress was made on this Prop (#135) before things

mention how this prop really saved me personally during my most challenging time
but more on that in the coming update.

Keep an eye out later this month (April:)

Your patience and support have been deeply meaningful to me. (Especially Maty,
Stephen & komorebi88!)
Sending a heartfelt bow of gratitude to the whole Nouns community.
It’s good to be back!

Nouns Children's Book Development

Hey all!

Wanted to share an update on what's been going on with prop 83 - children's book
development. I've developed a few different ideas, some manuscripts and book
dummies, and some of this has been pitched to my agent.

Unfortunately, long story short, nothing has landed yet. There's never a
guarantee that any pitch will be successful of course, but it is frustrating to
not have something that's found some legs so far.

I wanted to share a few book ideas I've explored...

"I AM A NOUN"

A story about nouns - not just the characters, but the words themselves too.

As I began there was one initial thing that stumped me - calling them 'Nouns'
without addressing the actual definition of what a noun is (in language) seemed
odd when the target audience is children. While I think this book did end up
being a fun experience, this direction did hit a bit of a wall, given the
educational angle and how they aren't as easy to get off the ground. I thought
there were some fun ideas here but ultimately my agent found it too challenging
given the breadth of educational content out there already and how the absurdity
of the nouns characters sort of distracted from the educational touches.

"HELLO NOUNS" - A NOUNS BOARD BOOK

Another idea was to go even younger... and just make a super cool board book for
a younger audience, with very simple pages and character images representing the
different nouns.

This would be sort of humorous and charming with various nouns saying hello,
with very simple dialogue, focussing on the brightest and youngest-skewing nouns
in very simple illustrations. Board books are a bit of a niche category. I don't
think many see it as a great debut idea unless it's a super high concept with
interactivity not really seen before. Most board books are based on already
successful books / brands. So this one didn’t find a lot of enthusiasm.

"PROUD PUMPKIN AND HER NEW GLASSES"

This was another angle I played with - More of a straight narrative character
story featuring some nounish characters and the glasses being a big part of the
story.

It's about a girl (who's mom calls her 'Pumpkin') who is very proud but also
doesn't see well and always runs into things and his horrible at sports and gets
teased a lot. After finding out she needs glasses she tries them on and her head
turns into a literal pumpkin. She's devastated and refuses to wear them, but her
mom insists. Shortly after she runs into a boy with similar glasses and a flower
head (whose mom calls him 'buttercup') who teaches her about seeing the brighter
side of life. So she goes back to the schoolmates who tease her and wrecks them
at a game of baseball now that she can see well. They comment how great her
glasses look, and then shamefully pull out their own pairs which they never like
to wear because they're embarrassed, but when they try them on they all turn
into various noun heads too and they ultimately become friends.

It's all pretty silly and loosely ties into the nouns world while also trying to
just be a fun relatable kids story. Not sure if this is strong enough on its own
or if the nouns angle just makes it weird for weirds sake.

"NOGGLES" - A WORDLESS NOUNS PICTURE BOOK

Another idea I've begun to sketch out is a wordless picture book featuring
Nouns. The general idea is a character is wandering through the woods and finds
a lost pair of glasses on the ground, picks them up and puts them on, and gets
transported into a bizarre, imaginary world filled with nouns. This would be a
visual trip and could be great, but really relies on pure artwork - which might
be good since I think that's where my strength is. Wordless books can a bit hard
to get off the ground - they have to be really great and are considered a little
more risky. However I think there is an opportunity to make a bizarre art-house
style childrens book here that I feel excited about so I’m going to try. This is
an idea that could be awesome and I'm working on currently but it's still quite
early.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So - sorry to say that nothing has found legs yet!

My goal was to get a traditional book published, which does come with different
hurdles unlike self publishing. My track record and experience in this industry
can influence getting something off the ground. There are agents and editors and
art directors and budgets and market trends and all sorts of things that need to
line up for something to get made. None of these things would be a problem if I
wanted to self publish a book, but that wasn't my goal.

There has certainly been higher scrutiny toward new projects getting funded in
many creative industries in the last couple years (I've felt it in animation
where I work as well where work has certainly slowed), which obviously hasn't
helped. Sadly, risk taking is low right now at many companies. And the Nouns
‘brand’ as a whole is still pretty obscure, so there isn’t any wider awareness
to help things.

For the time being I'm going to continue to develop the wordless picture book
idea. But I wanted to share an update of what I’ve been up to with this so far.
Thanks for reading!

Cheers,
Brandon

NOUNS ESPORTS Q1 UPDATE - PROPOSAL 466

TEAM ROSTER UPDATES

Dota 2

* Our team is neck and neck with Shopify Rebellion in the North America region.
We started strong by defeating them but have struggled to maintain that edge.
With Shopify's success internationally, they're now getting direct invites to
major events, leaving the North American qualifier spot wide open for us to
secure. And secure it we have, with the team having taken part in Betboom
Dacha Dubai and Elite League, with PGL's Wallachia major on the horizon.
* The climax of the Dota year is soon approaching, with the Esports World Cup
looming. With their aim to beat Valve at their own game of hosting audacious
tournaments, its $50 million Dota prize pool sets a new benchmark in esports.
We aim to be on that stage in Riyadh in July!

Counter Strike 2

* We've had a challenging start this year but are optimistic about our path to
the next Major in Shanghai. "Despite failing to qualify in the recent RMR,
the limited number of slots (5) in the Americas region was a significant
hurdle.
* With South American teams performing well at the Major, they have secured
an additional 2 slots, bringing the count up to 7 for the Americas in the
next Major qualifier.
* Earlier this year, we welcomed Adren as our new coach, known for his
successful tenure at Team Liquid." Semphis, our previous coach, is
transitioning to a content-focused role.
* Following a successful Prop House round, our all-female Counter-Strike team,
Nouns FE, continues to improve their performance in the female circuit. The
entire team has recently joined Farcaster.
* We're also planning to run a CS tournament that raises money for a mental
health charity (NAMI) in May, in memory of one of our former players, cyn1c,
who recently passed away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smash Bros. Melee

* Continuing our support for the Smash scene has been fruitful, gaining
positive reception and forming strong connections with key community figures.
* We've signed Cody Schwab, the top-ranked Smash Melee player, following his
Genesis X victory. His addition has significantly boosted our visibility and
impact in the scene. Cody recently won Battle of BC 6 in Vancouver in front
of over 20,000 concurrent viewers.

* Nouns Esports has identified an outsized opportunity to host events featuring
top Smash players. By partnering with Tipped Off, a major tournament out of
Atlanta, we believe we can create high-quality, immersive on-chain
experiences for Smash fans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pokémon UNITE

* Our UNITE team has yet to have a standout performance thus far this year. A
big moment for the team in the 2024 season is their upcoming appearance at
the Aeos Cup LAN in London. This event could be a turning point for the team.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Street Fighter

* Initially unplanned, our success in Smash inspired us to expand into another
fighting game.
* We've partnered with Smug, a charismatic and popular figure in the community,
to represent us at major events, increasing our awareness and trust in the
fighting game community. Check out this Youtube video announcing the
partnership.
* Similarly to our Smash programming, travel grants facilitated through
community voting, such as on Prop House, will be a major focus of this
collaboration. We will also be working with Smug to host our first online
tournament series.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prop House

* Prop House has successfully onboarded players and fans into our ecosystem,
offering funding and voting opportunities. Prop House has been particularly
effective in the fighting game community, where sponsor support is scarce but
community backing is strong.
* Our current process is a bit clunky, and we are still finding difficulty in
exciting gaming communities about minting Nounish NFTs. Our onboarding
strategy is to have those within our community who are interested in
participating in our governance sign up on nouns.gg/signup. After they
provide us with their wallet address, we send them a token that allows them
to vote on our subsequent Prop House Rounds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES:

Partnerships

* In January we onboarded Pat Yiu as our head of partnerships. Currently
scheduled for April 15th, we're excited to unveil our first commercial
partner.
* Our relationship with Adidas is advancing, with integration into the ///
locker room program following their appointment of a dedicated esports lead.
* We have a number of other leads that we are continuing to pursue and develop.
We are confident that we will be able to continue doing deals to help sustain
Nouns Esports operations.

Merchandise and Nounish Products

* Our Shopify store is live, offering merchandise that's garnering attention at
events and sparking interest in our brand.
* After launching our Shop, we worked with Gogh to bring it onframe and into
the Farcaster ecosystem.

Nouns Esports Pass

* The goal of the pass is to turn our fans into active participants that help
shape future of Nouns Esports by voting on key organizational decisions, and
reward them based on their levels of engagement. To bring this vision to
life, we needed to figure out how to design a user experience that onboards
new onchain users in a way that is familiar, interoperable, and abstracts
away the complexities of the blockchain.
* Over the last few months we have been experimenting with different solutions
to this problem and ultimately landed on a one that utilizes a combination of
embedded wallets with Privy and smart wallets with Pimlico.
* We are currently in the process of building a frontend that will allow anyone
to apply to become a pass member, vote on key organizational decisions, and
engage with the rest of the Nouns Esports community all through nouns.gg.
* Looking forward, we see the value of integrating Farcaster as an identity and
social layer on top of the pass which will allow us to create new experiences
for the esports community.

One Noun, Every Day, Forever... in an Action Rogue-Lite Game! V2
sumiez.eth
Copied link!
April 5, 2024
Connect your wallet to like!

Hi Nouns! Excited to share Propdate #7 with you all for the Nouns Crown action
rogue-lite game! It’s been a busy two weeks post GDC focusing on getting the
demo feature complete and happy to share the details!

DESIGN

Most of the game’s design is complete, at least as far as the vertical slice
goes. We’ll continue to playtest the game and make any changes or iterations to
our game design as we see fit; however, we’re quite happy with the current
direction of the game. Most of the changes we expect are minor adjustments to
make sure the gameplay is fun and balanced, and the economy and game loop are
fluid. We do have some additional design decisions to make regarding the UI/UX,
both across the title screen and menus, and the player HUD. Most of these
decisions are based on their form rather than function, as the game’s overall
design is very simple. The main tasks that require UI elements are your health,
money, cooldowns, and location (minimap).

PROGRAMMING

Programming over the past two weeks has been focused on the first and only boss
encounter for our vertical slice, Red Death (aka Trigger Mortis - I’ll explain
later). We added the boss chamber into our procedural map generator as a point
of interest. Then, to pack in as additional personality, we made sure to have a
proper cinematic cut and grand entrance for Trigger. I’ll let you all play the
game to experience this for the first time, though! We will continue to add the
boss mechanics and playtest to make sure it has a proper feel and difficulty. As
of now, we have added all of the boss animations and two of his abilities. As
this will be the finale of our demo, we’ll spend a good amount of time polishing
up this encounter! Aside from the boss implementation, we’ve done several polish
rounds tuning enemy AI, refining the map generator, adding music, and
implementing the core game menus.

ARTWORK

Artwork continues to be ahead of schedule and we’re still devoting most of our
time and resources to the development work before we return to add the polishing
touches. However, we have shifted some focus to producing a really fun and
interactive title screen for the game. This title screen is influenced from
Yoshi’s Island with a dynamic rotating “Nouniverse”. We’ll showcase a few of the
biomes on this island, while having some fun features like an interactive clock
and dynamic menu selection that changes the background as you scroll. Some of
this will be polish to add longer term, but the main feature to include will be
the operational clock to tie into the core gameplay loop. This title screen is a
bit more of a technical feat, but our artist has quite a bit of experience
working in Godot and we have a pretty solid concept to share soon (make sure to
follow our socials @NounsCrown for the latest previews!).

MARKETING

Our content pipeline continues to churn out content weekly. We have also gained
quite a bit of traction on Reddit through sharing our pixel art animations. Our
last two posts have both received over 2k upvotes and several hundred comments
each (soliciting name suggestions for our boss and rat companion). And both have
lead to indie game and pixel art enthusiasts to our socials. We want to continue
this organic growth of this particular target market. But of course, we’re
hoping that the web3 community will also come together when the game is
released! Lastly, we have completed all of the steps to launch our Steam page,
with the exception of our gameplay trailer. We have set aside a budget to
produce the trailer once our gameplay is at a more polished state. From there,
Valve is required to review the game submission (approximately 1 week review)
then we will be live. We will use this Steam page as our primary landing site to
onboard any early supporters, as well as release the game demo early summer!

Thanks for the continued support! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if
you have any questions or are interested in collaborating on any aspects of the
game!

Nouns Winter Shelter: Saving Cats & Dogs

Second update from Coral

Hello everyone! It's Nouns Shelter! We are excited to share our second update!

We donated 2000 kg of dog food and 150 cans of wet food for “与人玫瑰小院” helping 200
stray dogs and 20 older cats in Beijing before the Chinese New Year. We also
held an event for people who volunteered to help through the year with mini
shelter maintenance on Feb 2, having Nouns being introduced by them at event,
and we had the chance to communicate with people there about our long term goals
and mission.

We upgraded the cat house so that the roof can be opened. This makes it easier
for the cat to escape and for volunteers to be on hand to clean up the inside.

After Chinese New Year, we built a relationship with the city of Changsha's
largest animal rescue organization “Changsha Adoption Day” and collaborated with
them to distribute 210 Nouns Mini Shelter and 420kg of cat food to help local
homeless cats.

We hosted our third event in Changsha on March 16th and 17th in a Changsha city
mall. There were 100 volunteers from different industries who joined our event
and had a chance to get to know each other. The most exciting thing was we had
one mini shelter distributed at a middle school in Changsha by their teacher and
students.

We started to explore web3 technology during ETHDenver and set up a zora mint
for ‘mini shelter movement’ and got 10 mints in support of this trial run. We
put their wallet names on our mini shelters and even had volunteers buy CCTV
cameras for the shelters.

collection here:
https://zora.co/collect/zora:0x37b7c54478d24f80bc2aba2913e8883e83214a9d

We are now working with Beijing Adoption Day on the ‘TNR’ program
(Trap-Neuter-Return). We will do Neutering for 100 homeless cats and dogs
especially for cats living in our mini shelters from April to May.

Lastly, we are producing a recap video now, which will hopefully launch next
week!

LEARNINGS

After these 6 editions of the Nouns Fair, we've witnessed the significance of
crafting a fun and meaningful first experience with Nouns. By creating an
environment that captivates and engages participants, we foster receptivity
towards understanding the DAO. We also witnessed the enthusiasm for building
with Nouns. It was really thrilling to review all submissions at the end of the
hackathon, sometimes even a bit overwhelming with so many, but hey, that's just
a happy problem! For some editions, we listened to up to 30 teams pitching their
projects, ranging from games to DAO governance tools, account abstraction
solutions, social reputation, DeFi, and many more!

A few take aways are:

* People have seen/heard about Nouns at some point but don't know if they can
build with them or get funding.
* People immediately connect with Nouns by looking at the characters or the
booth's design or by simply listening to or seeing the wide range of projects
Nouns has funded.
* People react positively and are willing to keep learning when a person is in
front of them willing to help.
* People find it hard where to search for specific resources or references to
help inform/build their ideas.
* People want to keep learning and building with Nouns after every event, and
the lack of funding mechanisms, other than onchain proposals, makes it hard
to continue their builder path.
* People love Nouns and the Nouns Fair! It's a vibe.

Nouns Fund Education: Rebuild a Ugandan village Community School into a Nouns
School

FEBRUARY 10TH - MARCH 29TH, 2024

GOVERNMENT APPROVAL DOCUMENTS

Welcome to the latest update on the transformation journey of Ndurumo Primary
School, located in Kiyanga, Rwoburunga Sub-County, Mitooma District, Uganda. In
this report, we will provide an overview of the significant milestones achieved
in our efforts to implement the Nouns Funded Proposal, which aims to transform
Davin's former primary school into the first Nouns School in Africa.

Through collaborative efforts and unwavering determination, we are proud to
announce that we have obtained full approval from the Government of Uganda,
facilitated by the Mitooma District Local Government.

This milestone marks a significant step forward in our journey towards
establishing the Nouns School in Africa, and we are excited to share the
progress made thus far. Join us as we highlight the key achievements and
developments that have brought us closer to realizing our vision of building a
mordern nouns school providing quality primary school education in western
Uganda region

After a Successful Onsite Local Government Official visit, the council sat at
the District headquarters and ascertained that this Nouns Proposal is of great
impact and have given us a go ahead to implement the vision of Nouns Education
(Watch Video of Visit on Warpcast):
https://warpcast.com/davinoyesigye/0xb528f254

APPROVED ARCHITECT DESIGNS & BLUE PRINTS

In addition to the site visits, we facilitated an architect presentation at a
conference hotel in Kampala city. This event was attended by key stakeholders,
including representatives from the Mitooma District Local Government and other
relevant authorities, as well as invited contractors. The purpose of the
presentation was to solicit feedback on the architect designs submitted and to
ensure that the plans align with the vision and requirements of the project.

The collaborative efforts between the architecture team, local stakeholders, and
contractors have been instrumental in achieving this milestone. With the
approved architect designs and blueprints in hand, we are now poised to move
forward with the next phase of the project

OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

As we reflect on the journey thus far, it is evident that the project to
transform Ndurumo Primary School into the first Nouns School in Africa has
reached a significant milestone with the conclusion of the first stage:
Community engagement, Architectural Designs, and Government Approval. This
phase, crucial to laying the groundwork for the project, has been successfully
completed within the allocated budget, marking a commendable achievement for our
team.

However, it is important to acknowledge the challenges encountered along the
way. One notable challenge we faced was the time constraint, as the initial
timeline projected for this stage of the project was 1 month. Regrettably, due
to unforeseen circumstances and complexities inherent in the process, it took
approximately 2.7 months to fully complete the necessary tasks and obtain the
required approvals. Despite this setback, we remained resilient and adaptable,
overcoming obstacles with determination and perseverance.

Throughout this journey, we have gained invaluable insights and key learnings
that will inform our approach moving forward. We have learned the importance of
flexibility and patience in navigating the complexities of large-scale projects,
as well as the critical role of effective communication and collaboration in
fostering meaningful partnerships with stakeholders.

uplink update

going well:

We've found some version of PMF amongst new base projects, some more successful
than others. We've onboarded a total of 260 spaces (organizations / projects)
since our prop, including a handful of new & existing nouns-eco projects. We've
begun work on our new set of contracts as planned in prop 487 and hope to
complete them shortly. A small but successful web2 physical goods company has
reached out to us and expressed interest in working with the nouns brand - more
on this very soon.

challenges:

The biggest challenge at the moment is the dance of balancing

1. support for the platform as it exists today and needs of users
while
2. developing and planning the new technology that encapsulates our vision for
the future of our product

lessons learned:

while there are certainly many incremental improvements that can be made today
to enhance and extend the platform as it exists now, we have our sights set on
building out our new protocol first. We're aware that this might be an unpopular
take in startup land, and could be interpreted as "ignoring our users", but we
trust that the key learnings gained through building this product has put us in
a position to make this decision with high conviction. More soon.

Camp ⛺️ Propdate for the month of March

This month, more time was spent dealing with basic wallet connectivity,
stability, and voting issues. It's not the most exciting to work/report on but
‘uptime’ should always be a main priority.

Revote

We shipped revotes to lean into the +1 [voter/vwr] culture already existing in
the voter base. By creating new social-media-like primitives we believe that
Camp can strengthen nouns governance by endorsing desired behavior (eg well
researched and thought-through vote reasons) as well as attracting new
participants to govern nouns.

We think this product direction is super exciting, and potentially very high
leverage, and we plan to both go deeper on revotes and explore other primitives
in the near term.

Other improvements include:

* Treasury — added a basic overview of assets, including inflows and outflows
(https://www.nouns.camp/?treasury=1)
* Added date and time of proposal to prop header
* Added chronological sorting of proposals
* Numerous bugs and performance fixes

Metrics

Estimated votes cast from Camp during March: ~50%

You can now find a live changelog and customer support at Farcaster /camp.

Update #5: 30th March 2024

OVERVIEW

We're making progress! We've already posted 11 videos and will continue to do so
until we reach our milestone of a 12-14 minute runtime, even though the project
ended in May.

We currently have 311 followers and are gradually growing. However, we'll need
to make a few adjustments to ensure we adapt for growth.

Here are some sneak peeks at the new chapter of collecting monsters in "The Book
Of Nouns".

UPCOMING PLANS

* Aiming to gain 1000 followers in the next month.
* Ready to pivot to new content if necessary for optimizing growth (mixing
trending with original).
* Website is currently under construction.

EFFICAX 2.0 UPDATE #2 ⌐◨-◨

Exciting things are happening in the land of efficiency, and while very few of
them are "tangible", there's some really exciting developments to share.

1.3 IN USE!

Efficax 1.3 has been in beta for a bit and is well loved! In my opinion, it's
still a touch too clunky to be pushed as a "mainline" release, but 1.4 is well
in the works and I'm excited to get that out.

it's available here in the meantime

1.4 DESIGN PROGRESS

On the subject of 1.4, I've been able to put together a set of simple but fun UI
designs, mainly thanks to the awesome typography of MEK.txt, which includes the
icon fonts.

Everything here is just letters and boxes, so it's nice and small and neat!

The contract for 1.4 is also nearing completion, and an early version has been
looked over by my friends at the Solidity Guild. As I talked about in the
proposal, there's not enough money here for a formal audit, but having friends
glance at things sure helps.

CC0 ATTESTATION LEGAL UPDATE!

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the lovely Alfred Steiner and I had a
great meeting about what CC0 attestation on-chain might look like. After some
wording tweaks, it looks like we have a pretty good way for folks to license
things as they wish.

Licensing is a silly thing sometimes, but with Alfred's help I think we've put
together something that will be greatly valuable to the community. No more
relying on a "this is CC0" tweet or a link on a website, it'll all be tied
immutably together 🤝

CONCLUSION

Overall, that's 3 huge conceptual pieces of the puzzle that have been knocked
out. With only 1 big one remaining (being the interfaces that will make up 2.0),
it's time to get building!

Play Nouns: A Fun Game UI Layer to Keep Nouns Weird
yungalgo.eth
Copied link!
March 24, 2024
Connect your wallet to like!

PLAY NOUNS PROPDATE #1 (MARCH 24)

hi everyone welcome to the second propdate for prop #459, play nouns! it's been
an exciting last few weeks, let me break it down into sections: product,
traction, next steps, action items.

PRODUCT

playnouns as per its proposal scope is a gamified ui layer to nouns, so you
should be able to do onchain dao activities on it (like nouns.wtf or agora) in a
game-like setting. on top of that there is additional scope like education,
community engagement. I have decided to focus on user traction first, before
building the dao functionality out. this is for a number of strategic reasons
having to do with mkt timing as well as finding core product-loops (game loops)
that are flywheels. we need that if this prop is gonna be successful. we can
always add in the dao game func later, but if no users are coming on there
outside of a few people that are already in the community, it's not really
solving anything.

so all that is to say I focused first on building a simple onchain hypercasual
game that is free to play. playnouns.com is just that currently -- a connect
wallet screen (where you select a nouns character), an overworld (where there
are links to nounish projects), and a core game -- which is modeled after the
suika (watermelon) game, a popular hypercasual game from japan.

OVERWORLD

CORE GAME LOOP

for the game-dev curious, it's built using unity. one problem with unity is it's
pretty heavy compared to other game dev frameworks (e.g. phaser). right now it
takes about 75 mb to load. i believe i can optimize this alot and it's big on my
roadmap for this month, especially since i am still on the fence about what game
engine to use for the capital P Play Nouns game. i think likely unity but i need
to push it to its optimization limits to ensure we are not gonna end up with
alot of tech debt.

for the tech curious, handling the traffic came with a unique set of problems
that i had to quickly pivot and adapt to in order to stabilize the server costs,
rpc calls, everything. i had to iterate the site leaner a bunch of times and get
into tg chats with infura, consensys, thirdweb, and other sdk providers to get
credits, ask best practices, and make sure we could handle traffic at scale.

TRACTION

the big contributor to traction so far has been getting into linea park, an
onchain game/social dapp quest festival that runs from mid-march til april. we
have been able to bootstrap user growth from being featured in here. i thought
it was a good way to wedge ourselves in with some traction and have kept a tight
communication loop/building relationship with people i know from consensys and
linea teams.

here are the social #s:

playnouns twitter: ~6K followers at time of posting
playnouns discord: ~750 members at time of posting

here are the onchain + web traffic #s:

GOOGLE ANALYTICS:

INFURA (RPC CALLS):

PLAYFAB (PLAYER + LEADERBOARD DATABASE):

i also put links to /nouns farcaster channel, and would reasonably expect to see
an uptick in the # of members who joined since March 21, when Linea park
started.

and in next 1 day we will announce some raffles within the game in partnership
with zero pod as well as linking to rounds.wtf, we should see increased lift
there.

NEXT STEPS

once the linea park madness dies down, we will build the multiplayer overworld,
and hope to retain a decent % of those linea park users, as well as have good
footfall from nouns ecosystem members. this should be done by end of april. we
can then revisit the #s and see what sorts of #s we are putting up then, which
is a more stable indicator.

we will continue to partner with projects, both nounish and non-nounish, to
bring cool stuff to our users in the overworld. i think this is a really good
user loop to follow since if users know that the game is not only fun but it is
bringing cool onchain opportunities to them.

i do not expect to begin building out dao func until may -- the scope i would
like for end of april is, to restate:

* connect wallet screen (if holds noun, character = their noun, else character
selector)
* multiplayer overworld with chat + some nounish projects
represented/interactable via links
* hypercasual game with leaderboard, perks for leaderboard leaders + loyal
players

for may, we will start to build out the core dao functionalities, and we can
start to test to see if playnouns.com WITH non-nounish people hanging around in
it (in the overworld) is somewhere viable for dao governance to occur onchain. i
think the answer is maybe!

ACTION ITEMS

* please join the playnouns discord and follow the twitter --
* please dm me on twitter (@yungalgorithm) or discord (@yung_algorithm) to
discuss your nounish/other project and how we can put it in the game to bring
value to users, and also how i can build out more features to nurture and
help grow the nouns eco
* please put me in touch with anyone relevant that you think would be
interested in this and have value to add

CLOSING

thanks everyone for reading til the end :)

One Noun, Every Day, Forever... in an Action Rogue-Lite Game! V2
sumiez.eth
Copied link!
March 23, 2024
Connect your wallet to like!

Heya Nouns! Sumiez here with Propdate 6. I’m currently writing this from a
random corner at GDC (Game Developers Conference) in San Francisco! It’s been a
great experience so far and hope to be showcasing our game at PAX West later in
2024 and GDC in 2025! Overall, I think the part that has most resonated with
other indie devs is that a web3 community is supporting a traditional web2 indie
game. There’s not many, if any at all, others here that have had this type of
opportunity, and this is the narrative we are excited to share with our
audience. Now, for a quick game update!

DESIGN

With our testing environment established, we have done a few iterations and
polish rounds on players, minions, weapons, and gameplay. We’ll continue to go
through several rounds of testing and iterating our gameplay to provide the most
polished version come time to release our demo. One design area that we have
been focused on more recently is our game economy. We’ve decided to take the
route of acquiring currency and spending it to receive upgrades. To showcase
this concept in the demo, we are implementing a “vertical slice” within our
“vertical slice”, if you will. We have created one vendor and one pool of
respective upgrades and all of the related art assets required throughout this
feature. It’ll serve as our model for all future vendors and upgrades, with the
vendors being procedurally placed during map generation, and more complex
synergies between different upgrade pools.

PROGRAMMING

On the programming side, we’ve made more progress in implementing level design
and generation into our core game loop and testing environment. Our latest
version of the game now generates a new map each play-through (of course, this
will be designed to only change map seeds once every 24 hours for the final
demo). We will be introducing special rooms throughout the map generation,
including the starting room, our vendor, some points of interest (think healing
wells and other “chests” for random upgrades), and the boss chamber. We will
continue to explore our game design to introduce additional points of interest
to make the gameplay more dynamic and full of surprises. These points of
interest will be accompanied by various constraints and parameters to ensure
that there’s a nice cadence to our gameplay and you have the opportunity to
encounter each point of interest at an appropriate time.

Then regarding Red Death, we have the character and animation in game, and will
continue to build out the boss mechanics. Our design is complete, we just need
it functioning in game. We’re quite excited to develop this boss encounter as
the art is absolutely fantastic and the mechanics are simple, but will present a
fun and challenging fight for the player.

ARTWORK

Over the last month, our art team has been focused on filling in a lot of the
gaps to make the game feature complete and visually satisfying, even as a demo.
We’ll producing the starting menu, the UI/UX, additional character concepts, and
new props for our streets biome. Additionally, one big area of focus that will
be coming up soon is the use of shaders, filters, and particle FX to really
bring the whole artistic vision together. We’re excited to share this, but still
require a little bit more time on the development side before we’ll add these
finishing touches.

SOUND DESIGN

This is the first time I’ve provided an update on Sound Design, and I actually
feel terrible about it as it’s one of the most important elements of bringing
together a game. We are working with an amazing sound designer who has vast
experience with SFX and OSTs in the indie space. We have more or less most of
the SFX for all assets in-game. Additionally, we have produced a few OSTs, one
for the overworld (main gameplay), one for the start menu, and one for the boss
encounter (without a spoiler, it may or may not get more intense at a certain
point haha). We’re leaning into kind of an old school hip hop tones with some
bass riffs, percussion instruments, and even some synth. I’d say Jet Set Radio
and Afro Samurai (by RZA) as some inspiration. I absolutely love it.

MARKETING

Lastly, we’re excited to share that we have brought on a social media manager
and produced a content pipeline to begin sharing all of the behind the scenes
work and promotional content that we’ve produced this far. Our primary platform
will be Twitter, so please make sure to follow us and we greatly appreciate any
engagement or feedback you have! Our handle is @NounsCrown. Additionally, as a
small indie team, we want to make sure we give attention to other platforms to
promote and share the development of our game. We’ll be using various
subreddits, from Godot, to indie and game dev subs, to pixel art. We want to
stay true to our indie nature and engage with these communities as peers, rather
than a company promoting their product. Additionally, as I’m here at GDC now, I
will be exploring upcoming game conventions, both large and small, to attend and
promote Nouns Crown. We have PAX West in September 2024 and GDC 2025 as some
larger conferences to attend; however, there are several bay area and local
meetups that we’ll share our game with to solicit feedback and build a community
of advocates and early supporters. Then lastly, we have produced all of the
assets for our Steam page (the most exciting being our capsule image; seen
above!)

I think this is true with building anything, but we’re taking more time than
expected. However, we have a budget surplus thanks to our art and sound team
being ahead of schedule. We’ve reallocated some of these funds to dev side. Our
tentative goal is to share our demo around May 2024 through issuing private keys
(and of course any Nouners will have access to this).

Please reach out if you have any further questions!

GLITCH: Art residency + Prop House + Droposal
0x7e6ce
Copied link!
March 22, 2024
Connect your wallet to like!

GLITCH III - ART RESIDENCY SUMMARY

The third Glitch Art Residency was framed around the theme of “Alternative
Intelligences”. It ran for two weeks, from October 23rd to November 5th, at the
majestic 18th century Chateau Feÿ.

This year, the Glitch residency brought together more than 60 people, mostly
artists and technologists working at the intersection of blockchain, AI and VR.
The residents were mainly from Europe and North America, with also people from
Asia and South America.

The underlying rationale of GLITCH is to push the boundaries of crypto art, i.e.
to inspire artists and engineers to collaborate in order to explore the use of
blockchain as a medium, rather than as a mere transaction layer.

Ultimately, GLITCH aims to create an extitutional community, an artistic
collective gathering people from all parts of the world who share the value of
collaboration and artistic exploration. All Glitchers are polymaths, open minded
and curious people, eager to collaborate on crazy projects and initiatives
together. Eventually, Glitch might spawn a new artistic movement around the
concept of “blockchain as a medium”.

This year, our community of artists and technologists has made significant
strides in blockchain art, establishing new partnerships, launching innovative
projects, and pushing the boundaries of blockchain and crypto art.

Below are the key developments that came out of this third edition:

* GLITCH Website: A new GLITCH website is underway, aiming to become a central
place for collaboration and creation for all Glitchers around the world.

* GLITCH Protocol: We have developed the Glitch protocol to facilitate artist
collaboration by allowing artworks to interact with one another in an
asynchronous way through smart contract communication. When a new work is
created using the Glitch protocol, or when someone interacts with a work
relying on the protocol, data about the work is recorded on the blockchain,
so that other artworks relying on the Glitch protocol can react to it. The
code of the glitch protocol is available on github, as well as a demo
renderer which pulls data from all the tokens connected to glitch protocol.

* L3 Collaboration: Multiple startups at Glitch, including Syndicate and
Memento, are collaborating on Layer 3s to push the boundaries of on-chain art
and storing large amounts of on-chain data.

* GLITCH Catalog: Efforts to revive the GLITCH catalog, a compilation of glitch
art history and works, are moving forward.

* Off-Grid AI Manifesto: We drafted the Off-grid AI manifesto that challenges
the traditional boundaries of AI Art. Indeed, today, it is difficult as an
artist to use AI in order to create something really “novel” because of the
limitations imposed on the promptable latent space, which constrain
generative AI model to hyper-aesthetics or hyper-realistic outputs. The
manifesto invites off-grid AI artists to escape from the imposed constraints
of these models, and reach out outside of what the model is trained to
deliver.

* Mancy Manifesto: We drafted the Mancy manifesto, introducing a new artistic
movement, focusing on the creation of synthetic life through artificial
intelligence and blockchain technology. It’s not about bio-Art, where artists
use life to create art, it’s about using technology to breath life into
something that would be inanimate otherwise.

* GLITCH @ Fey Arts Festival: We’re already preparing for an upcoming arts
festival, Fey Arts, that will exhibit many of the works made by GLITCH. A
group of 10 Glitchers will be there showcasing their works at the
intersection of art and technology, in a fully natural setting.

* GLITCH on Mars sub-residency: Led by Gene Kogan and Xander Steenbrugge, this
project extends glitch art exploration to Bombay Beach, in California,
bringing lots of glitchers to explore Artificial Intelligence in a Martian
environment.

In addition, planning for Glitch IV is underway!

Hello, players! It has been 3 months since Proposal 444 passed and we are
currently in the Level 3 of our campaign: the Ledger Quest. But before that,
let's get a quick recap on both Levels 1 and 2.

LEVEL 1 - DESIGN CONTEST

We have successfully run two Prop House rounds awarding 2 ETH for the community.
The first one was for the creation of the box's outer sleeve, and the second one
for the actual Ledger device’s design.

Between both rounds we’ve had 920 votes cast to 53 submissions from 28
participants. The winners were Messhup and Greta Gremplin (Carlos), two super
talented artists and active members of our community.

LEVEL 2 - WORKSHOPS

The Nouns x Ledger collab is also about education, and that's why we hosted
three spaces at @TheNounSquare with the Ledger team. They answered questions and
we delved into details around many relevant topics including DAOs, Governance,
Security, Self Custody, web3, and more.

More than 700 people have listened and we had a peak of 131 simultaneously. You
can access the recordings here, here and here.

LEVEL 3 - LEDGER QUEST

Ledger Quest has officially launched and everyone must complete the quiz in
order to join the raffle and also be able to buy the nounish device. Ledger
posted a teaser and an amazing trailer on their official accounts to announce
the partnership and the challenge itself. Are you ready to play?

MINT THE OFFICIAL COLLAB TRAILER NOW 👉
zora.co/collect/base:0x7b73850c819f117a53188eb1422effec98bab7f1/1

Make sure to complete the Quest and get your Proof of knowledge NFT, will
guarantee your spot in the raffle of 100 devices and will also allow you to buy
them later on. By the way, the Quest page is looking super nounish!

It has been a blast working on this partnership with Ledger and we are very
proud of the results so far. The next steps include the raffle and the actual
sales. For more information on the project, visit playdna.wtf/ledger. We’ll
return with more updates after the proposal’s completion!

WELCOME TO THE THIRD EDITION OF PROPDATES BALI NOUNS WEEK!

PRE EVENT, 100% COMPLETED!!

With hard work and collaboration with ID NFT and Pelari KantoRun we finally
managed to complete the Pre Event activities according to the timeline that we
have written in props 483. Some of the successes that we can report are:

* NOUNS GOES TO CAMPUS, COMPLETED 579% OF THE TARGET

1. Bali Nouns Week has been successfully socialized on 4 campuses, namely:

* Hasanuddin University on February 4, 2024
* Makassar State University on February 18, 2024
* Surabaya State University on February 20, 2024
* Hayam Wuruk Perbanas University on February 21, 2024

2. The number of participants who participated in this event was beyond
expectations. With the following details:

* Hasanuddin University: 24 Students
* Makassar State University: 68 Students
* University of Surabaya : 265 Students
* Hayam Wuruk Perbanas University: 251 Students

Notes: The difference in participants from these four universities is that
at Hasanuddin University and Makassar State University, our Bali Nouns
Week team held the event itself. However, at the University of Surabaya
and Hayam Wuruk Perbanas University we have collaborated with IDNFT as a
cooperation partner in this Nouns Goes to Campus.

* NOUNS FUN RUN, COMPLETED 113% OF THE TARGET!

1. Replacement of Running Community Partner
In our proposal, we wrote that this Nouns Fun Run activity would collaborate
with Indo Bali Runners. However, due to one reason or another, we decided to
collaborate with KantoRun Bali Runners.
2. Change of Venue
Initially this pre event activity will be held in Denpasar and Gianyar.
However, we took the initiative to replace Gianyar with Maros. We chose this
place because the Nouns Goes to Campus activity was also held close to the
Fun Run location. So that it can socialize more about the Bali Nouns Week
event.
3. Nouns Fun Run was successfully held on time!
With gratitude, the last pre event activity, the Nouns Fun Run, has been
completed. With locations in Denpasar and Maros.The total number of
participants was 17 runners who joined to socialize the Bali Nouns Week
event this time.

MAIN EVENT, 96% COMPLETED!!

The Nouns Conference activity which ended on March 3, 2024, marked the
completion of the Main Event of Bali Nouns Week 2024. With the great
collaboration of Superlative Gallery and Bali Nouns Week Team. Finally we can
achieve the targets that we have set in props 483, including:

* Art, Business Plan, & Builders Contest, Completed Exceeding Target
The first contest held by Bali Nouns Week was beyond expectations. We managed
to collaborate with 12 Mass Media to spread the word about the contest. The
number of participants who joined the contest through prop house are as
follows:

1. Art Contest : 116 props
2. Business Plan Contest :56 props
3. Builders Contest : 40 props

After an internal selection from the Bali Nouns Week team, we decided on 10
winners from each contest. The top 5 from the business plan and builders
contests advanced to the grand final round. Here we share the excitement of
each grand finalist's presentation.

Finally, after the 5 grand finalists from business plan and builders did
their presentations. Next we choose 3 winners who are eligible to realize
their business plans and builders with a period of 50 days since the
announcement of the winners!.

Here are the Top 3 Announcements for each category!!!

Let's wait together for the realization result of the Business Plan and
Builders Contest!!!

* Nouns Exhibition, Completed 80.6% of the Target!
After the implementation of Nouns Exhibition which was held on March 1-3 at
Superlative Gallery. We learned a lot from this first Nouns Week event. Some
of the achievements that we can show based on the results of the Nouns
Exhibition are:

* Number of Visitors March 1, 2023: 59 visitors
* Number of Visitors March 2, 2023 : 73 visitors
* Number of Visitors March 3, 2023: 110 visitors

In the implementation of Nouns Exhibition, we collaborated specifically with
Denpasar Institute of Arts students. The form of this collaboration is that
we held a Costum Contest with participants entirely from students majoring in
Product Design. Where the results of their work are directly exhibited at the
Nouns Exhibition event.

The exclusive merchandise we made available during the Main Event is all
gone. Among them were for Nouners, speakers at the Nouns Conference, and sold
to attendees.

* Nouns Conference, Completed 118% of Target!
The Nouns Conference held on March 3, 2024 has succeeded in bringing many
visitors to Superlative Gallery. Some of the results of the Nouns Conference
that we can convey are:

* Replacement of Speakers
In proposal 483, we listed some of the names of the speakers who would be
speaking at the Third Session. However, for one reason or another, it was
necessary to change the speakers.
Among them are Wan Iqbal replaced with Hizkia as Brand Ambassador of Bybit
Indonesia. Then Arief was replaced with Yanzero as Founder of DeFi
Revolution.
This change of speakers did not hamper the implementation of the Nouns
Conference, but rather became a new collaboration that attracted the
interest of participants.

* Participants of Nouns Conference
In strengthening one of our missions to educate university students. So we
took a step to collaborate with students majoring in Product Design and
majoring in Animation at Institut Seni Indonesia Denpasar to invite them to
become participants in this Nouns Conference. The number of participants
from students was 51 students. Then from other communities there were 8
people who participated in the Nouns Conference.

HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MAIN EVENT DAY 1, DAY 2, & DAY 3!!!

EVALUATION FOR NOUNS FUTURE EVENTS

1. The time for event preparation should not be too tight, at least the
implementation of the event takes 3 months after the propsoal is approved.
2. To make metrics must really think about other factors. So that the target
can be achieved entirely.
3. Creating an IRL event needs careful collaboration and cooperation to
publicize an event so that it can attract many visitors to come.
4. Education for university students is an activity that has a big impact on
Nouns, because many of them are interested in knowing more about Nouns from
this event.
5. To make the schedule of activities more attractive to visitors, you can add
gimmicks to give prizes to visitors.

That's the third edition of Propdates, the entire Pre Event series has been
completed and successfully carried out according to the target. The Main Event
series has been completed, now just waiting for the realization of all Business
Plan winners and Builders!!!

top of refactoring the contract to make it more 2.0 ready. This includes:

For users:

* Ability to add animations (HTML/video)
* Ability to wrap SVGs in a simple HTML (enabling interactivity, scripting, and
foreign elements)
* Locking ability, permanently disabling editing of the token
* Noggles

Refactoring:

* All new contract structure
* 2 new rendering functions to handle animation abilities
* Completely doc commented for those who care
* Ascii art with noggles
* LZ77 (FastLZ) based compression for better read-gas optimization
* Zip and unzip utility functions
* A new, 2.0 ready, options struct

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

With dencun being live, L2s are going to be cheaper and more efficient than
ever. Since these blockchains still have significant capital and
decentralization on their roadmap, it makes sense to allow deployment!

Efficax 1.3 is deployed to Base, Optimism, and Sepolia testnet as it stands,
with mainnet coming this weekend (gas dependent)

This represents a huge step forward for on-chain art, because now you're not
just limited to mainnet gas costs but you can still run quick-iterating proof of
concepts for pennies on the dollar. To put that in perspective, it cost me just
10 cents to deploy the contract on Base.

WHAT'S NEXT?

It's time for a new frontend! The current frontend is a jambled mishmash of
inline JS, and this round gave me my fair share of variable collision as a
result. A new frontend will allow for easier feature additions and also a
"better" (web 1.0 ftw) user experience, while also keeping things simple and
straightforward.

One goal down, 100 to go.

Hello Nouns! ⌐◨-◨ One of the most important priorities for the TNS team, as laid
out in Proposal 434, was to spin off our art contest and artist/creator outreach
activities into a standalone onchain club structured as a fork of Nouns on the
BASE L2: The Yellow Collective, with the hope that it could create its own
flywheel without the need for Nouns funding. As you can see in this screenshot
from the proposal, we also set a goal of doubling our total revenue raised from
outside sources to 40 ETH+:

Since yesterday was the 55th day since the founding of Yellow, we marked the
occasion by publishing a recap essay, minted on Paragraph, discussing what has
been working well so far and what's coming next. As you can see from the
Infographic below, we are excited to have already surpassed the goal of 40 ETH
in outside revenue in less than two months via a combination of daily auction
proceeds and content mint revenue.

We will post another Propdate soon with updates on the Zero Rights Reserved
Podcast, Noun O' Clock and our other content initiatives, but in the meantime,
we wanted to link this Yellow Recap here onchain as an official Propdate for
anyone who might be interested.

I am writing an update for the proposal, based on some information that we
didn't accurately articulate in the proposal.

The 950k will be used in addition to 880k cash in hand, to open and finish the
first two letters: H + O. These will be opened for events starting by the end of
year (potentially January 2025).

To follow up on the questions asked by numerous folks, what happened to the
original investment on 7.6m. Hope worked with a contractor to produce "Earth
Blocks" with an onsite production of these blocks. However, the contractor
misuse of the funds and delaying the entire overall project led to massive
delays and outsized expenditures. Legally this is being pursued. The team has
new vetted contractors and with their experience over the past years, have a
much higher quality control with contractors bringing in Austin natives to help
drive the last mile of construction.

In regards to comments about detailing exactly Nounish events are which
activations are going to be available, the idea is that when Hope sells
events/sponsorships and fills up their calendar, Nouns will be part of each and
everyone. I personally will be working with their events team to make sure these
things are Nounish AF. If anyone who knows me, knows I don't fuck around with
Nouns.

I have dedicated my heart to Nouns and with 0 compensation on anything I have
backed/proposed/worked on, I tirelessly try and make it work for our community.
I have spent 240e on Nouns (which at this stage is close to 950k) let this be my
weight of social capital to try and make a bet on this proposal. Everyone has
the right to vote either way, just understand this wasn't slapped together and
lots of thought and due diligence was put forth to present a massive opportunity
to do something special in a special city.

Please keep reaching out if you have questions or concerns. I am here to make
sure everyone has an accurate/clear understanding of what's being offered.

Hello, Nouners!

Thank you all again for supporting this prop! The Artist Program is off to a
good start:

We’ve created a new version of the site, with a copy explaining the program
along with an extensive FAQ section. Currently the site is just material on the
Program and Rounds, but we’re ready to expand to artwork as soon as finished
works are minted. Check out ArtistProgram.org.

We’ve decided to create the program Collection on Base. As artists are admitted
into the program, they’ll be added as a collaborator, and able to mint their
artwork to the collection. Our Zora profile can be found here:

https://zora.co/0xc499540286cAA0192241C6b56D1A4e65cf2823cC

We’ve created some fun branding using the Abstract head trait, and a circular 3d
‘coin’ version we'll distribute to accepted Artists as voting tokens once they
mint their artwork. You can mint the Artist Program logo through the collection
link above if you’d like to further support the program and collect a memory
pre-launch~ We also printed flyers that we took to Eth Paris and Denver and
distributed to artists. Pics on social (x and warpcast: @ArtistProgram_).

We’ve also started a Discord server (link on ArtistProgram.org) where we’ve
added details on the program, FAQ’s and have already begun to welcome Artists.
Feel free to join the discord to connect with artists and to chat directly about
the program.

Our first PropHouse round launches on March 25th where we’ll select the first 20
artists! —

https://prop.house/0x814cea96abef06252c8ec613ea1f4834d2169b42

We’ll open submissions for one week, have one week of voting, and then a one
week pause before kicking off the second round (a total of 5 rounds).

Currently the team is focused on outreach to artists, publishers and more.. In
an attempt to break outside of our Nounish bubble and attract new artists to the
space, to Nouns and onchain.

We’re super excited to kick this off over the next few weeks! Thank you in
advance to any shares, likes, re-tweets & artists you recommend to the program!

Thank you!

We will also be able to talk to the local audience about this Nouns proposal 484
by taking the stage there.

However, in order to do so, we need to raise funds separately for this matter as
well. Because without funds we cannot go there.

We will continue to discuss with @Futuradora_____ and @kinako588 and my
director, Shinya Fukasawa, who are involved in this project, and we will
continue to make preparations.

Below is the text from @Futuradora_____ regarding this matter.

Exciting Updates about G(host) 3.0 at BananaConf:

Tagawasan has been invited by /Futuradora to collaborate as an artist for the
PoST x G(host) Poetia 3.0 photo booth, which will be showcased at BananaConf.
This innovative booth was first unveiled at MET AMS in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, back in November 2023.

The BananaConf has extended an official partnership invitation, offering
Tagawasan a role as a representative during BananaConf. As part of this
partnership, we're thrilled to offer a special perk to the community: all

Camp ⛺️ Propdate for the month of February

February was riddled with bugs and performance issues that stole a lot of
attention from the team. On the upside, it forced us to deal with tech debt and
lingering weaknesses, as well as helping us rethink priorities.

Prop House integration

Prop House round creation is still in limbo. We encountered a bug in the PH
contracts that blocks us from moving forward. Working with Soli/Seneca to find a
resolution.

Delegation

Camp now supports delegation. To delegate your votes, click the top-right
profile picture and then ‘Manage delegation’. Alternatively, you can go to a
user’s profile page (eg https://nouns.camp/campers/toadyhawk.eth) and use the
Delegate button (only visible if your connected wallet holds nouns).

Issue with custom transactions

We discovered and patched a critical bug in how Camp creates custom
transactions. Proposals affected by the bug were unable to execute, which led to
prop 490 and 493 having to re-propose. Thanks to 9999, soli, and six for helping
us investigate and resolve the issue.

Nouns NFT Governor

In collaboration with Verbs team, we began work on the upcoming NFT governor
upgrade. This upgrade will bring a series of changes but most importantly it
will make granular delegation possible. Below find an early mockup of what the
delegation interface could look like. Feedback welcome!

Other improvements include:

* Upgraded to Wagmi v2 (and added back legacy Wagmi support for ‘injected
wallets’)
* Added support to search proposer and sponsor wallets by ENS
* Added special parsing to USDC approvals
* Added timestamps to proposal headers
* Fixed ‘jumpiness’ of the activity feed on mobile
* We now show a banner at the top when there is a new version of Camp available

Metrics

Estimated votes cast from Camp during February: ~42%

Hi Nouns! Excited to share Propdate 5 with you all!

DESIGN

Our core gameplay experience is in a great testing environment. We have all of
our characters, weapons, and minions in there. Although we haven’t began testing
upgrades yet, we have the upgrade system built out in Godot which can really
handle any ideas we throw at it. As our game is built with a modular design, we
can be quite flexible from the design and testing front and apply upgrades to
any existing gameplay mechanic, whether movement, stats, attack types, controls,
and status effects. We will focus heavily on content on the final stages of the
demo production to pack in as many ideas that we can that make for an enjoyable
gameplay experience.

PROGRAMMING

With the core gameplay in place, it’s time to tie it together with level design
and generation to produce the full gameplay loop. And we’ll soon kick off the
highly anticipated task of implementing the first boss encounter. The boss
encounter game design is complete and the boss relies on all of the existing
systems that we have in place such as the AI controllers, weapons systems, and
state machines. With a lot of the heavy lifting complete, we’ll continue to
focus on introducing content, testing, and iterating.

ARTWORK

Just about all of our art for our first boss encounter is finished! As we’re
quite ahead on the art schedule, our focus will shift to iterating on our
existing designs. We have began to run through the environment to add store
fronts and more props to the scene. With the goal of world building in mind, we
want our environments to be packed full of nounish personality. Additional art
hours have pivoted towards producing marketing assets (capsule image for steam,
game title + logo, and our twitter banner). Last, but not least, we want to go
through more character development and land on some impactful nouns NPCs that
the player will encounter and interact with during each run. Here are a few
store front concepts to share:

MARKETING

Our marketing pipeline is scheduled to go live in early March. Our foundational
strategy will be to focus on the target market of teen to young adult indie
gamers and produce a smooth onboarding process. We plan to leverage the game
demo and provide early access to players through issuing steam keys. This will
help us identify community advocates that will find a home in our community and
engage with us throughout production. Additionally, we have a huge pipeline of
art content that we will begin to share once our new Nouns Crown twitter page is
live. We’ll be sharing both polished art and exciting reveals, along with
sharing a behind the scenes look into game development. All while having fun and
memeing in the process, of course! Here’s a quick teaser of the art style for
our steam capsule image (the real version is packed with way more nouns, haha):

We’re coming down to the final steps, and are excited to open up the doors to
share everything that we’ve been working on. This has truly been a special
experience and opportunity that Nouns has provided our team, and we’re all
deeply passionate about making a game that resonates with both the community and
the indie gaming scene.

Until next time!

Update #4: 23rd February 2024

OVERVIEW

I'm excited to share that despite a few minor production challenges, we
successfully maintained our schedule. Going forward, we will be releasing 2 to 3
videos per week. These will be consistently posted on Instagram and soon on
TikTok, until we reach total videos length of 12-14 minutes.

We've posted three videos. Although the results are not significantly impactful
yet, we need to post at least 9 reel videos to qualify for trending. So far, the
results from organic reach have been promising.

Some WIP what we are building:

UPCOMING PLANS

* The website is being built.
* We have already seen the first draft of the brand logo. A few options are
currently under review.
* Discover more in Reddit platform while posting more on Tiktok

Our Vision: To bring Nouns presence into a new geopragphy through meaningful
activations, to inspire new contributors and expand Nouns value.

From Prop 211 we have:

* put together Nounish IRL activation(s) at:

* Shanghai
* Beijing
* ChengDu

* created "Nogge chair" a nounish public infrastructure situated at Himalayas
Art Museum

* released a free to collect Nounish digital collectables in collaboration with
Shina Weibo

* generated a series of curated content, getting ⌐◨-◨ seen by millions on
TikTok

* assisted a local cafe in Beijing in putting up a Nouns mural

* organized art contest allowing chinese artist to get exposure to Nouns

* onboarded local animator to create a short shorts for Nouns

* onboarded award winning music producer Hanjin Tan, who debutted "Noggle
Chair" in his immersive audio theater show in HongKong

* worked with local authorities to install a Nounish signage at Mt. Liupian

Going well:

* Inspiring new contributors & growing new fans:

* Encouraged Yubo (local animator) to continue building with Nouns. Yubo
participated in Nouns Garden Round 6 where he managed to get funded to
create a 10EP animation series.

You may view the work he uploaded here:
BTS 1, BTS 2, BTS 3

* Growing interest from local collectors led to Topholder (Shina Weibo's
digital collectibles arm) activating the transfer function, enabling the
community to self-swap/trade their Nounish digital collectibles. A
community member even started an initiative, inspired by NounsDAO's 'One
Noun, Everyday, Forever' principle. Using platforms like Goofish, members
vote for their favorite Nounish digital collectibles, which are then
auctioned off in a daily manner. 4.5% of auction proceeds are sent to the
community treasury. As of writting 13 Nounish digital collectibles have
been auctioned, with the highest bid reaching ¥2001 (~USD278).
Auction summary

p.s.: To avoid any accusation or conspiracy we want to state that this is a
FULLY COMMUNITY LED initative, no royalites or profit sharing to us (Karl &
Nic) at all.
Auction proceed distribution as follow (Info shared by PIC):

1. 90% - Seller
2. 1% - Goofish platform
3. 4.5% - Auctioneer
4. 4.5% - Community treasury

* Understood from community leader, moving forward treasury fund will be use to
fund more community initiative (Any community member can put up a request)
* A fully community led initiatives show sign of a growing fan base for Nouns
in this new geography

* Acknowledging the significant of what Nouns represent, local authorities
approved to have more Nounish infrastructure installed at Mt. Liupian,
leading to the creation of Prop 489. This enables us to extend Nounish
physical installations, aligning with the essence of Nouns.

Challenges:

* Despite the local fan base/community growth, internet censorship impedes the
flow of new audiences to Nouniverse. ie. Twitter, Farcaster, and IG.

Lessons:

* Positive activations facilitate audience connection with Nouns' ethos,
fostering acceptance and willingness to contribute to building its lore,
whether Crypto or Non-Crypto native.
* When expanding to new geography, builders should ensure Nouns integration
aligns with local culture while maintaining a nounish approach.

Priorities:

* Provide aid and guidance to local builders (existing or imerging)
* Onboarding more audience ie. Institue, Creatives to continue expanding Nouns
lore

GM from OTG!

After the completion of Prop 110, we had the opportunity to work with other
nounish Prop Builders, Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, to help with an activation for
Prop 73.

Prop 73 together with Prop 166 brought Nouns DAO to the 134th Annual Pasadena
Rose Parade and the 107th Rose Bowl, with a massive float, thousands of Noggles,
custom nounish track suits, shirts and footballs and a documentary team filming
the entire experience from float build out to parade day, and beyond.

OTG came in to bolster what was already put together in Prop 74 with Prop 166 as
we specifically coordinated:

RicherdIntern and friends DJing from the top of the float in a Chart Bars head.

Exclusive song from SuperTightWoody called "Put Your Noggles On" that played to
everyone on TV corner. You can still mint this song here.

15+ brand ambassadors in full Nouns DAO tracks suits, nounish shirts and
Noggles.

4 full time OTG ambassadors who were present during the entire event.

Dispersing thousands of paper Noggles before the parade and other exclusive
nounish merch like nounish footballs given to Rose Bowl attendees after the
parade was done.

Filming prior, during and after the parade event.

NYE party for nounish friends and everyone who had been working on the prop to
celebrate before the big parade day.

WHERE CAN I WATCH THE EVENT?

If you missed this epic nounish moment on the day it happened, don't worry there
are a few ways you can watch some BTS and get ready for even more content.

You can watch the entire live KTLA 5 coverage of the show as it was streamed
live on the Nouns Square Discord here.

OTG posted a mini doc called "Turning TV Corner" that shows the early morning
rush to get ready for the big parade.

Last but certainly not least, the entire event will be part of an official Nouns
documentary outlined in Prop 73. Be sure to follow Stoopid Buddy Stoodios for
updates!

Here is the overall budget breakdown from this Prop. This Prop was completed on
January 2, 2023.

GM from OTG!

We are excited to start putting in updates for all of our on-chain Props! Let's
start at the beginning with Prop 110.

Prop 110 was the first on-chain prop by On The Ground and the overarching goal
was to continue the "on the ground proliferation" efforts from our Prop House
and NSFW (Nouns Strategic Funding Works) funded activations. OTG got its first
ever start in the Nouns ecosystem in Prop House Round 1 and was funded for its
first activation by NSFW.

The Prop outlined 5 events that OTG was going to attend but we ended up
proliferating at 9 different events! Prop 110 was completed after the final
event, Art Basel, finished in December 2022.

At the time, there was no mechanism to give Prop Updates, so OTG gave one of the
first ever nounish "on-chain" prop updates on Prop 206 on January 10, 2023.

You can view this update here or below:

NounsOTG has been operating within the nounish ecosystem for more than 6 months
through each of the following on-chain Proposals and NSFW funding rounds:

NSFW - NFT NYC 2022 (first official activation)
On-Chain - Proposal 110
NSFW - Michigan University Final Home Game
On-Chain - Proposal 166

In July 2022, Nouns On The Ground had a successfully passed on-chain Proposal,
Proposal 110, which was designed to proliferate Nouns over the course of 6
months. We have had so many valuable lessons from these experiences that will
allow NounsOTG to make this next six months a valuable investment on the DAO's
end when it comes to IRL integration of the meme.

These proposals have allowed NounsOTG to interact with 11 different on-chain
proposals within the nounish ecosystem. This has evolved our understanding of
how to interact with and educate the public on the Nouns meme and the ecosystem
as a whole, while meeting other builders and learning their stories.

We have included case studies and data sets for the DAO and future proposers.
Our learning experience benefits everyone.

Please refer to the case studies provided for the 6 main events and 3 additional
social experiments that were covered within Proposal 110 as well as the Michigan
University event covered by NSFW.

2. In welcoming the Main Event which is less than 10 days of implementation. We
have communicated intensively with Superlative Gallery and had time to visit
the gallery in a plan to see the real condition of the gallery and
preparation for the exhibition.

3. For the Art, Business Plan and Builders Contest, we have made preliminaries
through the prop house. Where the prizepool in this prop house is 3 ETH for
30 winners. Then later when the grand final will compete for 3 ETH for 9
winners. So far a total of 27 proposals have been submitted from the three
contests.

4. At the Nouns Conference we had the bad news that 2 speakers could not
attend. But we have contacted some reliable practitioners in the fields of
Web3, Crypto, and NFT. Thankfully, we have found replacements for the
speakers who could not attend. The Nouns Conference announcement will be
made soon as a promotional material later!.

5. For all the marchendise we ordered, some have already arrived. T-shirts, key
chains, dolls, piggy banks, and rugs. All of them will be displayed at
Superlative Gallery on March 1-3, 2024.

So far, this is the only update we can give. Hopefully this will let Nounsfolk
know that Bali Nouns Week 2024 is coming soon!!!
Thank you

MUCHO UPDATE

going well:

* successfully onboarded new team members, ensuring a smooth preparation phase.
* equipment acquisition is 70% complete, gearing us up for production.
* advisors and team have finalized our youtube strategy, setting a clear
direction for launch day.
* dengue national intervention campaign is set to roll out in the next two
weeks, marking a significant step towards societal impact.

challenges:

* february's senator and mayor elections have necessitated a postponement of
mucho's launch, as political discussions currently dominate public discourse.
* bureaucratic hurdles have delayed the release of two key videos planned for
this month, slowing our momentum.

lessons learned:

* societal events can significantly affect projects requiring government
approval or attention. this will be factored into future planning.
* initiating permit and solicitation processes immediately upon conceiving
video ideas is crucial. this approach allows us to schedule and execute
promptly upon receiving approvals.

priorities:

* our immediate focus is on completing the five long-form videos for the launch
of mucho's youtube channel. this strategy aims to leverage youtube's
algorithm to highlight mucho as a channel that retains viewers for extended
periods. the estimated launch is set for the first week of march.
* executing the development and publication of the dengue intervention campaign
and research by the end of the month. given the current surge in dengue
cases, particularly affecting the pediatric population, it's crucial for us
to launch this campaign now to mitigate the impact and provide timely support
to those affected.

(using investor update template):

Going well:

* Shipped round powered by Farcaster @ rounds.wtf
* Core UX on prop.house is now stable
* Brought Wayne onboard to help move FE dev faster
* nouns.camp integration almost ready

Not going well:

* Tech stack has made us slow and rigid

Lessons:

* Realization that the entities we were targeting as potential users are not
communities at all. ie, they are companies with lots of people but a single
‘voting’ entity as opposed to many entities voting (eg nouns).
* Our long dev cycle and rigid tech stack made us slow, we have to prioritize
speed over everything else.

Priorities:

* Continue exploring Frames as the UX to interact with rounds
* Redeploy onto L2 for simpler and less costly architecture

Other:

* Gardeners Season 1 ended (ran 6 rounds from nov-feb @ 10 ETH ea)

Update #2.

1. We have sent 19 USDC of the sponsored USDC to the exchange for conversion to
Japanese Yen.
We plan to convert USDC into XRP and then XRP into Japanese yen.
This is the current means of converting USDC to Yen.
The reason for implementing this is that the airline ticket arrangements
have been completed in Japanese yen.
Thanks to your help, we will be able to pay for the airline tickets
successfully. Thank you so much.

2. Regarding the design of the limited edition Kitpas, we have received the
first draft from the designer and are currently reviewing it. The final

NOUNS SCHOOL PROPDATES

This Document is to provide a summary of all activities that are happening at
Ndurumo primary school in regards to the Nouns Funded Proposal to Transform
Davin's former primary school into a Nouns School.

JANUARY 14TH - FEBRUARY 10TH, 2024

LEGAL INITIATIVES:

For the last month, we have diligently worked on obtaining permissions from the
School Foundation body, a pivotal step in initiating the reconstruction process.
Our efforts also extend to engaging with the School Management Committee, the
Parent-Teacher Association (P.T.A), and local government leaders to secure their
consent for commencing the reconstruction work.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:

Recognizing the importance of community involvement, we have actively sought
permissions and support from key stakeholders. This collaborative approach
ensures that the entire community is aligned and invested in the transformative
journey of Ndurumo Primary School.

LAND SURVEY REPORT

During this time period we also carried out a land survey to obtain the actual
acreage and Topographic mapping of the School land.

ALUMNI ACTIVATION:

In a significant development, we have spearheaded the activation of the Ndurumo
Primary School Alumni from the year 1992 to the present. By establishing a
platform for alumni, we aim to reconnect, unite, and garner support for the
reconstruction efforts. This initiative underscores the collective commitment to
rebuilding a foundation that has played a crucial role in shaping countless
lives.

ONCHAIN MYTH - UPDATE 1.0

BUCKLE UP BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING IS AN UPDATE FILLED WITH BROKEN ENGLISH.

I’ve been working on this every single day but unfortunately had several
setbacks (cough lost a major file and had to make it again cough) and that’s why
I haven’t posted any updates so far. However, I finally finished some of the
visual concepts I needed for the graphic novel.

First of all, I noticed that 64 pages won’t be enough to tell the whole story
that I’m working on, but that will be a good start I think. I’m still thinking
of dividing the 64 pages into 2 or 3 sections so the people can read them
completely and avoid some kind of saturation giving it all at once. Also, I
think giving smaller chapters could create more momentum... Let's see.

I also minted a collection on Zora called Hyper Cosplay Sketchbook, you can mint
each page almost for free, I’ll start minting “pages” there for all of those who
want to collect the work in progress and see the visual development of the
project. Hopefully one day it can become an art book. Ok, let's begin.

CHARACTER DESIGN

I could spend years in this stage because I love character design, but I need to
move faster this time, heh.

It's interesting to see how the characters have been evolving since the early
concepts, mostly because the story is getting more specific and each character's
backstory is changing along the way. Some of them are different than the initial
style but they keep the same noun head as a concept.

The story's three main characters are Shady, Puffer, and Neblina (neh-blee-nah).

Most of my time is spent immersing myself in the lives of these three
characters. For now, I have yet to make too much progress on the looks because I
have been developing their background. Hence, it’s easier to work on a visual
concept in the future, for example, if the character has a scar because they
fell as a kid, it’s easier to try different placements or shapes of the scar
before is drawn.

I need to test some outfits for Shady because he is shirtless most of the time
(?).
Yeah, so, he fights… like, a lot. And that’s the main reason why he pulls off
his shirt.

CHARACTERS

The concepts I shared in the prop feel different from almost all Nounish artwork
out there but I had to go a step further and make them more mature. I love
cartoon characters but I mentioned before that I wanted to develop an
action-based graphic novel and the style didn’t fit the story in my opinion...
Pushing myself to the edge feels good, I think people will like the new concept.

SHADY

NEBLINA

PUFFER

NOUNBOTS

Some Nouns folk have already seen some NounBots designs, but let's talk briefly
about their story.

The human world is filled with bots, they work mainly in dangerous environments.
However, some creative people took them and started small tournaments using
scrap parts and rebuilding new cybernetic creatures, leaner and with better
aesthetics than normal bots (of course, they are using Noun traits as a
reference). The tournaments became famous and the NounBots permeated the popular
culture as one of the most innovative sports out there. More info coming soon...

WORLD BUILDING

This was the biggest challenge at first because I wanted to use humans and Nouns
simultaneously, but they are not part of the same world, so I split their
universe into two dimensions: Human world, and Nouns World (yeah...
groundbreaking). They have different names but don't want to make spoilers.

This is a concept for the monastery. There are lots of small details that need
to be reworked but the overall structure is there, and for better references in
the future a rough 3D version would be needed so I can keep the dimensions of
the building. This will also apply to other buildings and urban landscapes, but
that's ok, I'll make them and share them with the public.

GEOGRAPHY

Nouns are placed in a world very similar to ours, a planet with 4 stations,
around a star, and has a satellite. I'm not changing too many rules about
climates or geographic features, I'm more interested in the fantastical
creatures instead of the mechanics or physics of this world (I know both
interact with each other and modify them constantly but let’s keep it simple for
now).

BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES

I’m already working on the buildings, mostly the ones with more relevance to the
first chapters, but I think I need to focus more on the city and urban life,
it's a bit tricky because this blends with Culture and History.

Vehicles are next on the to-do list because I’m still figuring out the best
solution for vehicles, and need to place them in a specific timeframe. Usually,
vehicles reflect the tech level of society and their current aesthetic values.
Plus, I'm still focused on the places first since there are not too many scenes
inside vehicles for now but I reckon that vehicles around the streets make more
believable scenes.

TECHNOLOGY

Nouns are way ahead of us in the technological aspect, fantasy will play a huge
role here and I’m trying my best to keep a non-distributed tech society, similar
to what we humans have right now (some places are more developed than others and
such). However, I haven’t figured out all the details and intricacies of their
technological advancements, because I usually write something like: Puffer gave
Shady a bag-shaped device. This means that lots of small items are still yet
paused for now, but they are coming!!!

CULTURE AND HISTORY

This is a big one, I don’t think I’ll finish this section, at least not this
year tbh, but I will build a solid foundation for this… I would say is a mix of
a Western (European) society from the 20th Century with a heavy influence of
Asian aesthetics (Mostly Japanese).

This is curious because both are very different, each culture and belief system
influences the way they build houses, markets, etc. It will be fun to keep
working on this ;)

LOGIC BEHIND THE DIVISION OF TRAITS:

Nouns have amazing heads (traits) in their collection, and almost all of them
are perfect to make a compelling story, however, some funky ones are tricky to
include in a realistic society (I know this is fantasy, mkay?), although I like
to think they are part of a Sci Fi-fantasy scenario.

Since nouns don't use people in their traits, I had to experiment on the overall
story; anthropomorphic animals felt native for this, and since most human
cultures have fables about animals who talk and they are common in folk tales, I
feel this is a straightforward solution. We are used to seeing nouns with human
bodies already as well, so everything flows naturally.

To organize the traits in a coherent way I'm dividing Nouns heads into 6
different sections:

CREATURES

The world of Shady is filled with these Nouns, they are usually anthropomorphic
animals, and this is what will be useful to create a diverse range of
“ethnicities” inside the cities. There are rare exceptions to this but animals
have the highest priority to become a Noun.

NATURE/ORGANIC

Some of these will become human-like creatures, while others will be included
differently.
Right now I feel that plants like Saguaro and Bonsai have a higher chance than
fruits like cherry or watermelon. It’s true this is a fantasy world but don’t
like the idea of a guy walking down the street with a thumbs-up head… Sounds
hilarious I know, won’t make much sense though, but maybe because I haven’t
planned a character like that yet.

PLACES

Places will be extremely useful to use as settings but there won’t be a
fence-head guy aside from Shady or something like that, maybe as NounBot...

DEVICES

Similar to places. With a big difference, most of the manmade Noun heads will be
used to develop NounBots (they are part of the human world).

THINGS

I see lots of NounBots here! They will be really fun to develop.

FOOD (MAN-MADE)

I separated these from the Nature/Organic for obvious reasons. There are cases
like milk carton or cheese, that can be part of the organic category but humans
alter them, so they belong here.

Note: I need to update the noun heads because this is the “canon” set.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT STEPS

I'm finishing some basic animations of my avatar to start the livestreams with
the community. I have a basic version already done but my overthinking mind
keeps pushing me away just because I think it's not good enough, however, I'm
incredibly behind the curve so fuck it, I'll start livestreams at the end of the
month. Wish me luck.

The priority is to share with the community between calls, and even make
brainstorming sessions live on YouTube/Discord. One of the goals is to mint one
page (sketchbook) per week, as a minimum!

PUBLIC VS PRIVATE

The idea is to build all of this in public but since this is an ever-evolving
project and (in theory) a linear story, I think I can manage that, I still need
to design a lot of characters and that will be a great topic for the
livestreams!

TEST PAGES!

I will start to work on the page thumbnails on March 1st, FINALLY!!!
Some will be public, most of them not. But I can share the process of several
pages after the first chapter is released so it's safe from spoilers. These
thumbnails are tiny sketches to test the flow and pace of the story, making sure
each page makes sense and has the right amount of info in it.

MOAR CHARACTER DESIGNS!

Yup, I need more characters to fill the story, currently, there's the backstory
of 9 Nouns and 3 humans, but I need to make more studies and concepts for the
other ones. It's time consuming but better to be safe than sorry, I don't want
to change any character in the future (maybe outfits but not core features).

The good thing about this is that I can share the transformation of each Noun
with the public and hopefully reply to any question they have along the way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: if I say constantly that something is hard or complex, this means I'm
enjoying this A LOT! and have no better words to describe all the tiny details I
see in each moving part of this project. This is like a giant puzzle for me, I
just need to figure out the best solutions to develop all these details. I'm
having such a great time nerding out and exploring this world. I would love to
show that publicly sometimes, but it's just me, reading or drawing quietly, it's
not that glamorous tbh, but I love it!

That's it, thanks so much for reading, if you have any feedback feel free to
reach out on Farcaster, Twitter or Discord. Have a good one!

Coming up for air to post our first update on prop 487!

In our prop, we cited about 20k pageviews and 2k visitors / month. Between
interest generated from the proposal process and support from influential
builders in the community, we've hit those figures in the last 7 days and are on
pace to 4x those stats this month.

Given the rapid influx of new users, our focus in the past week has been overall
system health and performance - basically keeping the ship afloat. We plan on
spending the next few days doing more of this "housekeeping" work before
directing our attention to the new stuff.

In addition, we've released 2 small new features based on user feedback.

1. Admin moderation. While not a permanent solution, this is great for us right
now as it allows admins to moderate their spaces without our intervention
and keep community spaces clean and relevant.

2. Onchain stats. Each space now has their own view of onchain statistics like
generated rewards, total mints / creations, and top contributors.

That's all for now! We'll continue to post updates here and on farcaster. Check

Hello Nouns family! So happy to share our first Nouns Shelter (Proposal 462)
progress here! We made corrections prior to execution based on Nouns community
feedback that I will go through below.

1. We changed planned spending based on feedback to put more resources to
encourage mini shelter usage and tied pet food donations to shelter
distribution. We produced 220 mini shelters and matched 2000 kg of cat food
with mini shelters.

2. We collaborated with the largest animal rescue organization in Shanghai and
Beijing to execute the project and have permanent displays in both Joy City
Mall in Shanghai and 康信天力动物医院 in Beijing.

3. We changed the designs of the minishelters prior to production based on our
shift to Shanghai and Beijing and redesigned a second shelter to meet the
needs of different climates between the cities. Our shelters are produced
for durability, increased size (These now fit 3-5 strays per shelter!),
utilizing primarily recycled materials, and we are very thankful that some
of our early volunteers who supported us with their engineering skills to
help make sure that these shelters would be able to last for multiple years.
Based on the comments from the proposal during voting phase, we reached out
to ccarella and others who provided feedback after our proposal passed and
have received positive feedback from volunteers for the quality of shelters
compared to commercial options available.

4, We set up applications for our Nouns Mini Shelter events to be able to track
each shelter individually through volunteers and tied the distribution of food
to each of the volunteers of the shelters. All of the members in our chat group
give us feedback about mini shelters and the stray cats that lived inside. (Fun
fact: we just had our first weasel enter a shelter this weekend also)

5. We hosted the first event in Shanghai on Jan 20th-21th, distributing 100
Mini Shelters and 100 bags of cat food to 100+ volunteers.

5. We hosted the second event in Beijing on Jan 28th in an animal hospital in
Chaoyang District, distributing 100 Mini Shelters and 100 bags of cat food
to 50+ volunteers. Having the volunteers build their own shelter and tag
their shelter with their designated number also allowed us to educate
volunteers on best practices for animal awareness. I am extremely thankful
for this group of volunteers for sticking it out in the -8c weather to make
this happen.

6, We built Twitter, Instagram for our global audience, Little Red and Weibo for
Chinese audiences. We posted the feedback from our volunteers on our social
media account every week. We are planning to scale these up with produced
content as our team did not expect the amount of coordination work associated
with running these programs remotely. You should start seeing updates right
around the time of Chinese New Year with higher quality updates.

7. We are preparing a donation event for 200 stray dogs in Beijing this weekend
starting with a 2,000kg donation from Nouns Shelter along with wet food
donations for the cats in this specific event.

8. This is an early update from us and we will keep updating our Nouns shelter
progress for all Nouners. Please feel free to reach out if you have any
other questions or want to support the project too. We are planning a few
other activations and developing new product designs and are excited to

Heya, Nouns! Sumiez here with Propdate #4 for Nouns Crown!

DESIGN

We have just a few updates in the design area. One of the key areas of focus for
that is the environment itself. We went through our first round of level design
and built a pool of unique room designs that our map generator can pull from.
Each room we are assessing from a game flow perspective to make sure it plays
smoothly and provides diversity. Some levels will be open and free flowing,
others will be a small and crowded. Another key feature that we’re exploring are
the use of hazards. We’ll start with a classic “pitfall” design and work that
into various rooms for some added difficulty. We plan to explore other ways the
environment can provide additional challenges later in the production pipeline.
Although not design related, here's our first iteration of the updated tileset
for the urban biome (Note: we will have additional passes to add more
personality and polish!):

PROGRAMMING

Programming remains focused on the core gameplay experience, primarily weapons,
minions, and the player character. Our goal for this demo is to ensure that the
content we develop meets a high quality polished state. This will require
several programming passes to tune each key element of gameplay to find the
right feel. We have began to pull in art assets to test our core weapons, and
now have a proper testing environment. This includes implementing the
environmental hazards and map/level design described earlier.

ARTWORK

Our focus on art has been all about the Boss encounter, The Masque of Red Death!
After designing the concept art and boss mechanics, we were able to deduce the
art and animations that we will need. We begin with our sketches, illustrations,
and key frames, then bring in our animator to fill in everything in between.
Each animation is hand drawn, from the bosses movement, the attack animations,
and some special reveals that we’ll save for later! As excited as we are to
share the artwork that we’ve produced, we’re sharing that for our reveal through
social media. We hope to reveal this character in early February, so make sure
to stay tuned!

MARKETING

Now that we’ve laid most of the foundation from both a development and art
perspective, our content pipeline is ready to go. We have brought on a social
media manager to begin sharing this content with the goal to provide a behind
the scenes look into game development and generate some buzz around our art,
gameplay, and lore. We have some decent traction already in the web3 space;
however, we’ll focus much of our efforts to build some interest in the indie
game market. On a side note, here is a fun animation we made to showcase the
transformation of our minions from the original Forgotten Souls artwork:

That's all for today! Thanks for tuning in and we'll be back soon with more
updates!

Camp funding for 2024

Hello! Excited to write the first Camp propdate for the month of January.

During Jan we accomplished the following:

* Proposal and Candidate Editing is live. This was one of the last major pieces
to achieve our goal of governance protocol feature completeness.
* Codebase migration from a bare webpack setup to next.js. This allows us to
finally fix the link previews on eg Farcaster (much requested) and sets us up
to improve overall site performance.
* [Yet to go live] Added Prop House Round creation. This allows anyone to
create PH Nouns House rounds via proposal and seed it with assets from the
treasury. No need to go through Seneca anymore :) Some testing and launch
coordination tbd but eager to ship this soon.

Metrics

We are tracking ‘votes cast’ as a primary success metric for Camp. During
January, an estimated 37% of all votes were cast via Camp.

Our current tracking method is somewhat error-prone (bc of eg adblockers). We
know there are ways to solve this but choose to wait for Verbs team to launch
the Client Incentive upgrade which will automatically provide us with accurate
usage numbers.

Hey hey Nounsfolks!!
After about 2 weeks of Proposal 483 being approved. We have made some progress,
including:

1. We have conducted the first edition of the Pre Event which we titled
"MingguNouns" or in English means Sunday with Nouns. The purpose of this
activity is to invite people who are unfamiliar with Crypto, Blockchain, NFT
and Nouns to learn about what it is all about.
2. The second edition of "SundayNouns" is coming on February 4th!
3. Furthermore, we have ordered some Merchandise designs that we will display
during the Main Event.
4. We have also finished negotiating with Superlative Gallery regarding the
event that will be held on March 1-3 and we think we share the same vision
to make Bali Nouns Week a Nouns DAO worthy event!

That's probably the first update from us and don't forget to follow the
excitement of this event on our social media.

FINAL UPDATE

Hellooo! I'm here with a final update before launching the Nouns-halo keychains.

I've finished hand-soldering the batteries to all 700 circuit boards and
uploading the code.

The tuna cans have been manufactured and are shipped - should be arriving in the
next few days - peep below for a preview! I did a design overhaul as the samples
i received didn't give the vibrancy and energy I wanted - also will be added is
a vinyl on the top of the lid.

Lastly, the final element is the enclosures. There was a small modification that
needed to be done for the moulds, and considering that this mould can be used to
reproduce 'x' many more enclosures in the future - I wanted to ensure that this
was absolutely perfect. We're about 2-3 days away from the completed mould and
then it will take 10-15 days to produce 700units.

The website is all set up and we're on track to launch in the next few weeks!

NOUNS-POLAROID

On another note in re to the NOUNS-POLAROID camera: I originally planned on
deconstructing a Polaroid Go and nounifying the case but there was very limited
flexibility and also thought it was a bit of a barrier price wise for people to
buy and replicate. Instead, I've found easily accessible electronics and coded a
script that works with a thermal printer + a camera on a Raspberry Pi Zero for
makers to tinker around and play with.

You can check the code here: https://github.com/tigrisli/nouns-polaroid

I'm going to outline in detail how to replicate this make + working on the
enclosure right now; creating a "cartridge" holder for the thermal paper and all
that to fit inside the noggles. The 3D print enclosure files for this will also
be open sourced. Been filming the whole process to post on TikTok and socials so
I'll be making a tutorial for that.

Big thank you to everyone for your patience, I'm really excited to get the
Nouns-Halo keychains in your hands and out in the world!

shout!

NOUNS X EVERYBODY UPDATE

I miss you guys as much as you miss me.

STATED GOALS OF PROPOSAL:

● The creation of a minimum of 10 pieces of good quality, original content
before
April 30th
● A minimum of 100k cumulative organic YouTube views across all content created
in pursuit of this prize before 9 months of this proposal passing

RESULTS

1. A snapshot was taken at the end of the contest revealing 76 entered videos,
with 34 of them garnering at least 2,000 views. The total culminated views
of the videos taken during the snapshot were 174,574.
2. At the 9 month mark of the contest coming to a close the cumulative organic
YouTube views across content entered into the competition is 282,715 views.
An increase of 108,141 views over the last 8 months. A number that will
increase over time as the videos continue generating organic views.
3. This competition had entries from 57 unique creators of which 39 were new
content creators to the Nouns ecosystem.
4. Average length of video submitted to the contest was 3:24 (3 minutes and 24
seconds) with a total of over 3hrs of content created.
5. Video content ranged from: interviews, a fake wedding proposal, tutorials,
animations, educational pieces, someone getting a tattoo, and even a Nouns
motorcycle being created. I would say this accomplished the stated goal of
getting content creation of new and innovative ideas for the DAO.
6. Each video that was created explained some aspect of the DAO whether it was
the treasury, previous proposals that were funded, the cc0 aspect of the art
or how to get funded by Nouns. Creators had to learn about Nouns in order to
obtain this knowledge and create content around it.

Peace Out and Love,

The contest was quite successfull with the site approaching a total of 1000
traits and 68 contributing artists!

The participation and the engagement helps us validate this as an effective way
to seed the site with nounish traits.

In the coming months, we plan on doing another competition but with a different
jury. A little alpha for you propdates readers: We have SloppyPencil, TheBoneys,
Supriyo, CarlosGreta, and Joshua Fisher confirmed as our new jury!

We are keen to experiment with more decentralized competition models but have
yet to find the perfect one; that's why we prefer to focus on a proven model for
now. If you have any suggestions, get in touch!

We also want to do more to reach new artists, and we see Basepaint as a great
place to connect with crypto-savvy pixel artists.

An update from David Horvath (via 4156):

My Nouns prop is coming to an end but I plan to continue for however long it
takes. I am very pleased with the early stages of the toyetic culture component
(Nouns sofubi, pins, and plush sold out at Ginza LOFT in hours, with new
versions of the sofubi at Giant Robot and LOFT Shibuya this spring!), but the
Hollywood side may take a while.

The news cycles of 2021 made bringing Nouns to the top studios, directors and
producers, best of the best in the licensing world, the top toy companies in the
world and high end retail a piece of cake.

Everyone's eyes lit up minutes into my Nouns Studio One pitch. I wish I could
share the names of those we met with. I can say Lego loved Nouns, and the
Playmobil Nouns figure was brilliant...so close! We even had the packaging
underway.

The pain points of my prop revolved around dynamics the current industry isn't
ready for if everybody else isn't making the jump together, from CC0 and the
absence of a traditional responsible party to fear of leaping first via
mainstream news reports and the current health meter of the legacy media
industry in general.

Even with the extra layer of apprehension out there, I plan to continue studio
meetings and have a specific newly formed entity in mind, headed up by veterans
from animation we all know. My gut says Nouns will save the day and the Nike
Swoosh of Web 3 will live forever. ⌐◨-◨

I apologize for not providing updates on this proposal. Last year, I was unable
to order t-shirts on time and later became occupied with work. Additionally, I
had to live outside of Seoul, which made it challenging to connect with the
community frequently. Now that I'm back in Seoul, I plan to host one brunch and
two running events every month. In fact, I've already organized a brunch and two
running events in January!

The new date for the Nouns stamp collection campaign is in March!

I met with the t-shirt manufacturer, and we've selected colors for the Nouns
t-shirts.

There is still time remaining before submitting the t-shirt designs, so I am
exploring different styles and color palettes for the designs. Let me know if
you have any interesting t-shirt ideas.

One Noun, Every Day, Forever... in an Action Rogue-Lite Game! V2
sumiez.eth
Copied link!
January 13, 2024
Connect your wallet to like!

Hello, everyone! It’s Sumiez again from The Pixel Shop. Hope everyone had an
awesome holiday season and new year! I’m here to share another Propdate for our
Nouns indie game in development. We wrapped up the first sprint to end the year
and just kicked off the second of three sprints for our proposal. Some of our
primary goals for this phase will be to implement the core game loop and begin
testing all our systems that we produced during Sprint I.

LORE

Our lore is split into the Legend and Present Day. We established a direction
for the Legend, but we are still working on the present day Nouniverse with the
Lich King’s return!

The Legend

A long, long time ago, the Nouniverse was a utopian world where everything
co-existed in peace thanks to an all-powerful artifact, the Nouns Crown. The
Nouns Crown was believed to be the source of everything in the Nouniverse and
was unique in that it was a crown without a wearer. The Nouns Crown only ever
uses it’s power to summon one Noun, every day, forever.

But an evil force awakened to pursue this power. The Lich King, a king without a
kingdom, invaded with an army of Forgotten Souls to claim the power of the Nouns
Crown and its’ kingdom. The Lich King enters into the Crown room uncontested,
and just before the Lich King is able to place the Crown on its head, a massive
burst of energy is released from the Crown sending the Lich King and it’s army
back to their shadowy realm.

This energy being released into the Nouniverse came at a high cost. The same
energy that was used to summon a new unique noun each day has transformed the
Nouniverse into a kaleidoscopic world, where the land as you know it is in a
perpetual state of change. And every day, the world reassembles itself in order
to protect the Nouns Crown, knowing that some day the Lich King will return to
fulfill it’s sole purpose to claim the power.

DESIGN

We’re excited to share that we have decided on our first Boss encounter, from
concept design to game mechanics! This will be one of our main focuses and
deliverables for this phase of the game. Our bosses are being designed with
different fight phases and boss mechanics and take place in a unique Boss
Chamber. For this particular fight, the player will have to dodge a barrage of
different attack types while reducing the boss’ health to zero. The Boss will be
equipped with deadly accurate dual revolvers, a sawed off shotgun, and skull
bombs. As you progress through the battle, new fight mechanics will be revealed
slowly increasing the difficulty. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t enrage
him or you’ll definitely be in some trouble… We’ll begin to tease our boss
design on our socials this month!

PROGRAMMING

As we have designed the concept for our Boss, this will be one of the key areas
of focus to develop in our game engine. This process will require multiple
iterations until we get it back, but we want to release the demo with a nicely
polished boss encounter as that’ll be one of the key selling points of our game.

In addition to the boss development, we’ve continued to progress through the map
generation and weapon systems. The map generation is just about finished, but
while we’re adding the final touches, we have moved forward with bringing in our
environmental art assets into Godot. This will be a relatively quick process,
then once we’re finished, we’ll focus more on level design to ensure that each
room has a fun mix of enemy waves, hazards, and obstacles to navigate. We have
also mostly finished our Weapons System, and has all of the components needed to
begin testing our first 3 weapons. The next step for this will be to bring in
the weapon art assets and test test the weapon mechanics to make sure they’re
fun. As we tune this, we’ll be able to add some extra flare through shaders and
in game FX.

ART

We have continued to progress our art assets across all areas, from weapon
animations, boss concepts, additional environmental assets, and minion
animations. For each minion, we will require animations for spawning, idle,
walking, attack, hit-frames, and death. We have worked through most of the 4
minions that our pre-production prototype had; and have 2 additional minions
that we hope to add to this demo. Our new resolution provides a much more
nostalgic appearance, and we have finished updating most assets to this
resolution, including minions. We think it’s a win/win scenario with this
approach, as it allows for much more scalability but retains the charm from
games we grew up with. Here’s a sneak peak of the updated minions in our
environment!

CONCLUSION

We’re still hard at work and will continue to post Propdates every 2 weeks!
Also, we have gathered a lot of sneak peaks of what we’ve been working on and
will begin sharing it through our socials soon. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey all,

We have encountered an issue with our compensation funds stream for prop 476. We
chose 0xSplit as the recipient for our compensation fund stream. However, we
found out that with each withdrawal, the recipient needs to manually process the
transaction through the stream contract. The 0xSplit contract currently doesn't
have this feature, so our funds are stuck in the stream contract.

Thus, we are proposing two onchain proposals to solve this issue ;

1. cancel the stream > recover all the non-vested token to the DAO's treasury
2. withdraw the remaining vested token > set new stream of funding

Another proposal 'New Stream of Prop 476 (Part 2)' will follow through once
'Cancel Stream of Prop 476 (Part 1)' has been executed

We have included our learnings to avoid anyone from experiencing the same issues
again in the future. We are deeply sorry for taking your energy & commitment to
solve this issue. We appreciate each one of you, thank you <3

unique collection, crafted by Facu, to try to incentivize more Propdates, but
it was not as successful as hoped. Nonetheless, a fun initiative.
* We have been working, and recently shared, a proposal for Propstreams, the
next evolution of Propdates. We'd appreciate any thoughts over on Farcaster:

NOUNISHPUNK UPDATE 2.0

Exciting greetings to the vibrant Nounish community and all dedicated
Nounishpunk fans! Your unwavering support means the world to us, and we can't
thank you enough. While navigating a challenging situation with our NFT
collection being compromised, we channeled our energy and focus to address it
head-on.

Regrettably, this unexpected hurdle temporarily redirected our attention from
the game's development. The silver lining, however, is that we've successfully
overcome these challenges. We've diligently crafted new NFT Contracts, and as of
yesterday, on 1/6/2024, NFT holders have reclaimed their prized possessions.
We're thrilled to announce that we're back on track with the development of the
Nounishpunk game.

Although this setback had a significant impact, the good news is that starting
this week, we're diving into the development with even more vigor and
determination than before. Together, we'll create something extraordinary.

Stay tuned for more details and good news to be spread soon! Thank you for your
continued support and enthusiasm as we embark on this exciting journey!

It’s time for the first update of 2024! Happy New Year!

We sent a Letter of Intent to the current owners and are entering into final
negotiations to take over the shop. We anticipate signing to take place shortly
and are scheduling inspections as we enter this final stage of due diligence.

While that’s happening, we’re also creating moodboards to map out the shop's
aesthetic. It’s an interesting challenge to pull inspiration from the
playfulness of Nouns' art while retaining both the coziness and minimal design
of the current space. We're narrowing in on the answers, and have met with two
designers whose portfolios might be the perfect match.

We’re continuing to think through how to make the shop a landmark location to
learn about Nouns, sparking curiosity in everyone that comes through the doors
while also aligning operations with a CC0 ethos. There’s so much fun ahead as we
get ready to embark on a rebrand that will make this community proud.

Update #1: 23th December 2023

Happy holidays Nouns community!

OVERVIEW

Last week, after numerous feedback sessions with the art team, we finalized the
concept work on four crucial elements:

* The pet companion
* The Book of Nouns
* The main character
* The common minions that frequently appear in this world

The primary goal is to create a pet companion that is cute, energetic, slightly
selfish, and cowardly. This companion will always prioritize the book over the
main character.

Conversely, the main character will have a unique, eccentric appearance, paired
with a set of "normal" personality traits. The iconic item, Noun Goggles, is an
integral part of the main character. It serves as a recognizable brand element
and contributes to his distinctive look.

The minion creatures are signature entities in this world. Their diversity will
be vast, depending on their location and tasks.

If you are thinking - wait where did the other Nouns go? Don't worry, these are
set to make an appearence shortly after as well!"

BEHIND THE SCENES

Some of our discussions have focused on how the lore interacts with characters
and how it can be engaging for those who are not interested in reading the more
boring aspects of the lore. The main goal is to make it fun and engaging right
from the beginning. I will delve into this further once we have some lore and
world settings written down.

The concept phase is a fun, intensive, and creative process. After countless
sketches, we finally achieve our desired outcome. Here is a glimpse of our
journey, starting from the early sketches.

UPCOMING PLANS

* Lore/world building will be written down in beginning of January
* Start to build content strategy and production pipelines for 4koma manga and
short anime videos.
* The first video will be posted on January 20th, but it will be produced one
week before to have a stack of videos for consistency.
* We have started building a prototype website for Nouns fans to explore and
delve deeper into the lore. It will be launching soon in February.

PROP 450 Updates

It's been nearly two weeks since Prop 450 got the green light, and we hit the
ground running.

Our team is in ongoing talks with the current owners of the coffee shop (one of
which has been keeping tabs on the proposal through nouns.camp and delving into
the votes-with-reason), and now we're diving into the nitty-gritty – focusing on
gathering all the information necessary to seamlessly transition ownership. This
includes thorough evaluations of the lease, assets, existing liabilities, and
the transfer of licenses.

We've had interviews with a couple of potential general managers. Both
candidates are brimming with expertise and passion, not just for coffee but for
the wider onchain community too. Speaking of, we’re committed to having am
onchain payment options at the shop and are currently talking with a vendor to
make this a reality.

Creatively, we're brainstorming the shop's layout and an overarching brand that
will resonate with the city of LA. Talks are underway with a possible partner
who could handle both design and a website. Plus, we've already started playing
around with some branding explorations.

Just last night, we had dinner at the shop with one of the owners. It was a
great chance to really picture what the place could become, and we tossed around
ideas for how to weave the Nouns ethos into the shop's design, adding art and
interactive features that spark the curiosity of everyone who walks in.

We’re also exploring how to align our operations with the CC0 model, setting a
replicable standard for other coffee shops. Our goal is not to create just a
coffee shop, but a model for how to nounspill people with coffee around the
globe.

Looking ahead, we're gearing up to make the ownership transition official in the
new year, setting up all the legal and financial frameworks necessary. We're
thrilled about where this journey is taking us and will keep you in the loop as
we continue to make strides.

Hi Nouns, it’s Sumiez here with Propdate #2! We're excited share an overview of
our recent progress on the Nouns indie game, Nouns Crown! And yes, our game
title has been decided!

Gameplay:

Our design focus has been centered around the weapons system and gameplay. From
a gameplay perspective, we want these weapons to have familiar mechanics to
ensure quality of life to the player, but from a creative and art direction, we
want them to capture a Nounish personality through using every day items! Each
weapon will have a primary attack and secondary utility. The Loaf of Bread from
our teaser serves as a great example: you will throw slices in a burst as your
primary attack (think sliced-bread shurikens!), then swing the whole loaf of
bread as a melee stun ability. Most of our weapons are still in development and
testing, but we’re excited to showcase them soon once we add the art and
animation!

Also, from a technical angle, our weapon system is being designed in a modular
fashion and we are just about through developing all melee and ranged modules.
With this foundation set, we’ll be able to test out any weapon concepts that
through mixing and matching various attack styles. We’ll be able to push out a
ton of content as soon as our modular system is implemented!

Map Generation:

Another exciting update that we’re able to share is our map generation system.
Rather than putting together a static map for our demo, we decided it makes more
sense to develop a proper procedural map generator that better reflects our
game’s long term vision. Each map will generate multiple Biomes (although we’ll
only be generating a single biome for our demo); each biome will consist of a
sprawling series of Rooms; and each Room will be procedurally generated into a
variety of sizes and shapes. As of today, we developed our algorithm to assemble
a single Biome within our established parameters (basically, where do you start,
where do you end, and where are the rewards and objectives located). We’ll soon
be populating this biome with our art assets, then making design decisions to
establish the game flow as players explore a new map!

Art:

We continue to make great progress on the art front with a focus on the
Environment and Minions. We are quite excited about our revised art style which
captures a more nolstagic feeling and is just more Nounish in general. We’ve
completed our initial biome tile set, the streets, and the initial round of prop
design. Our next step will be squeezing in more Nounish personality by designing
decorations such as “store fronts” and more fun props. Then, regarding our
minions, we are going through the process of updating the enemies from our
prototype into our new art style and producing all of the key animations
required for game play (spawn, idle, run, attack, and death). Make sure to
follow The Pixel Shop on X (or Twitter) as our content pipeline is just about
read to start churning our progress!

Marketing:

Lastly, as we mentioned, we have a game title, Nouns Crown! We’re excited about
this title our main features will be a casual competitive environment where
players will compete for the best score each day to win the Nouns Crown! These
winners will be forever memorialized in our game and own that day. We’re
designing our branding around this game title now and will be sure to share it
as soon as it’s finalized!

As usual, feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any feedback or
questions in general! We hope everyone has a happy holiday season and will be
back in force in the new year to keep building our vision!

December 7, 2023 (backdated)

Hi Nouns, it’s Sumiez from The Pixel Shop. We’ll be doing bi-weekly propdates
onchain to provide a high level overview on what we’ve been working on! First
off, I wanted to thank you all again granting our team the opportunity to build
our vision this Nouns indie rogue-lite game. Now, for a quick summary for what
we’ve focused on the first two weeks:

Team Kick-Off:

We had our formal team kick-off meeting after the week of Thanksgiving (even
though only 3 of 5 of us are in the US, haha). Our core team will consist of 2
game devs, 2 artists/animators, and myself as the game designer and project
manager.

Strategy:

We’ll be splitting production into 4 separate sprints, each being around 3 - 4
weeks in total. We’ve organized our sprints by priority and have just broke
ground on Sprint I. Sprint I will focus on developing the necessary Systems in
Godot 4 to build all content with. We’ll design the systems for the Player
Character, Abilities, Weapons, Upgrades, and World. Due to the nature of the
project, these systems will all be modular to provide for as much creative
flexibility when we get to developing and testing content. Additionally, we’ll
be making big game design decisions to establish the game flow and how each
feature will interact with each other!

Art Direction:

First thing first. We’re designing the standard Nouns character to use as the
template for all Nouns characters to follow. We will fine tune the art style to
make sure that it’s scalable (since we’ll have a whole lot more characters to
come); dynamic (as the combination of traits will drive each characters
playstyle; and of course, as fun as possible. This style will remain consistent
between the player character, enemy minions and bosses, and the environment. The
later 3 areas will be focuses of a subsequent sprint, but we do plan on
exploring early concepts for our first boss and some biomes that will exist in
the environment.

Marketing:

Our marketing goal will be to build a grass roots following as a true indie
development team. We’ll make some big decisions this month such as the game
title and branding, then put together a social media marketing strategy to
provide a regular pipeline of engaging content, from behind the scene looks, our
design process, game engine development, and most importantly, spreading the
meme.

Advisor:

We have one more exciting announcement to make! We have brought on Dan Fessler
as an advisor to our team. Dan’s has a wealth of creative and technical
experience in the gaming industry. He was most recently the Chief Creative
Officer at Manticore games working on a 3D user-generated content gaming
platform. Today, he’s a founder at Incite developing AI-powered games. I’ve
personally known him since I was a kid, so excited to have him on our team to
provide another great perspective to our already talented team.

We’ll be back in two weeks with another Propdate, but please feel free to swing
by our Discord channel or DM me directly if you have any specific questions!

Regards,

Sumiez

Prop 420 - A Very Nounish Christmas Party for Kids in Need – DELIVERED!

VIDEO Watch Very Nounish Christmas Party for 5,000 Kids in Need

GALLERY View images of Christmas joy powered by Nouns

We did it! Together Nouns DAO and Variety – the Children’s Charity have
delivered the largest crypto philanthropy activation ever held in Australia! On
Thursday 14 December 5,000 kids experiencing disadvantage or living with
disability and 3,000 of their carers came together for A Very Nounish Christmas
Party to experience a day of inclusion, joy and celebration supported by over
600 Nounish volunteers, staff and the Australian Nouns and web 3 community.

This year's party, decked out in Noggles and immersed in the imaginative
universe of Nouns, provided a unique and unforgettable experience for the
children and their carers.

The Variety Kids Xmas Party is more than just a day of fun; it's a lifeline for
families who often feel isolated or overlooked. For many children, the event
offers a rare opportunity to experience joy, laughter, and a sense of belonging.
Parents often remark on the transformative effect of the party, noting the boost
in their children's confidence and self-esteem. The ripple effect extends beyond
the children to their families, providing them with a much-needed respite and
the chance to see their children thrive in a supportive environment. The
memories created during the party serve as a source of strength and inspiration
for families throughout the year.

The event is completely FREE for children and their carers to attend and
importantly each child leaves with a bag overfilling with toys, often the only
gift they receive at this time of year.

Nouns DAO's funding was instrumental in enhancing the event across its 39,000
square feet.

Nouns activations were held throughout the venue including:-

* Giant Noggles and Nouns character towers in the concourse area where children
and families excitedly arrived for the party of a lifetime, entering through
a giant Noggle adorned arch (aso replicated in the entry for kids arriving by
bus)
* A Nounish stage with giant Noggles and Nouns character skirting,
flanked by Nouns character towers. The stage included all day back to
back entertainment and was a highlight for many
* Noggles adorning the giant Xmas tree and decorating the Xmas trees at the
Nouns Fun Station
* Nouns fun station with Noggle adorned archway entrance, Nouns tattoo and
Low-Fi Noggles distribution (donated by 87Bones) as well as Noggle LEGO
builds with LEGO master Ryan McNaught
* The Nouns Fun Station also included a colouring-in section with 6
stations where kids colouredin every pages of every single Noun who voted for
Prop 420
* A giant Noggles seat and foam sculpture (created by Oshi Gallery) and photo
station surrounded by Nounish Xmas trees, character towers, and character cut
outs lent to Variety from Nouns DAO'n Under
* Variety Kids Xmas Party Powered by Nouns signage throughout the venue
including interactive zones, rides, side show alley and all-ability
activities
* VIP Corporate Morning Tea and Presentation for 70 guests including an on
stage interview with Pete Lazer and Goldy about Nouns, Low Fi Noggles,
tattoos, wall signage with QR codes to learn more about Nouns DAO and special
guests from the local Web 3 community. The presentations also included a
family who were assisted by Variety to talk about the huge impact the charity
has had on their lives who then also went on to enjoy the Nounish party.
* Nouns tattoos and Powered by Nouns t-shirts with Noggles logo worn by staff
and over 600 volunteers. The volunteers were mainly through corporate groups
and were briefed on Nouns DAO including an emailed hand out and fact sheet on
the day. Many approached staff to learn more including those who had crypto
investments.
* One of the biggest hits if the day with the kids was Big Hearted Noun – a
Nouns character costume that roamed the venue and was constantly mobbed for
photos, hugs and high fives!

But what about the impact for the kids? Our inboxes are being flooded with
messages from grateful families thanks to the support of Nouns DAO. Here are
just a few of those testimonials:

“Our 10 year old son attended the annual Christmas party at the convention
centre last Thursday. We wanted to thank everyone involved including sponsors
for the most wonderful day. Our son had so many experiences he has never had,
such as the rides and was amazed that you even had vegetarian food (the cheese
toastie), catering to his vegetarian diet.

We were so overwhelmed by the very generous box of Ninjago LEGO he brought home
and is now under our Christmas tree.

For my husband and I this was very touching. My husband was made redundant 5
months ago and I am studying full time, retraining to become a teacher. We
currently have no income, but having our home we miss out on Government support.
Our two boys don't quite understand that this Christmas will be very different.
We are staying home, unable to travel to family interstate and there will be no
presents this year. Admittedly we were not sure how to explain the absence of
Santa gifts on Christmas morning. This hugely generous box of LEGO, had us both
overwhelmed with gratefulness as this can now be opened Christmas morning. Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts for the opportunity to bless our little boy
and without you knowing, supporting his parents who are doing it really tough at
the moment.

A very Merry Christmas to you all and thank you. We hope when we are financially
viable again to be able to donate to this wonderful cause.”

“I just wanted to say a very BIG THANK YOU from the staff and students at
Dandenong SDS to everyone who organised yesterday’s event. Our students had the
best time, and we are enormously grateful for the invitation. Thank you to the
organisers and all the VOLUNTEERS! It was a memorable and mammoth undertaking.
The event was well run and provided something for everyone!”

“All my three children attended Variety Kids Christmas Party at The Melbourne
Convention & Exhibition Centre yesterday and for the very first time they felt
so happy and relaxed at the funfair without having to worry about money and
judgement.

My children has been going through hard times in the past few years…activities
like yesterday really brought them lots of love and joy.”

“I would like to say thank you so much from my heart for the event and Variety
organisation did an amazing event for the kids. ”

“For some of our students it was an experience they would otherwise never have.”

“Thank you so much Variety for making our Christmas was so special. The whole
event was amazing and we look forward to next year's event. Thank you for
everything you do for families like ours, we sacrifice so much for our children
and having an event like this is such a nice reward to give them everything we
normally cannot all in one day.”

“Another great year. Thank you so much, the children loved the day, the
atmosphere and their LEGO sets. Something we would never be able to afford. So
very grateful.”

“I loved that at the carnival games the children were encouraged to keep trying
when they missed and given extra chances and then everyone celebrated when they
got it. It was beautiful to see, and really meant a lot to my son, who usually
is unable to throw for example a dart at a balloon due to his DCD and this often
ends in tears and him feeling like a failure. This experience showed him that if
he keeps trying he can do it, it just takes a little longer for him, and that
people are still super happy for him when he does do it. And he still got a
prize which he loved! The police bringing along the sniffer dogs really helped
my son feel safe and have courage to approach and interact with the officers.
This really made my son feel safe and see that police are not scary and are
there to help us when we need them. This was such a huge positive experience for
us, as I now have much more confidence that if he is lost or has an emergency
that he would feel safe to approach/talk to an officer for help. I also wanted
to say the LEGO as the final gift at the end for every child was absolutely
beautiful. As an adult lover of LEGO it was so lovely to see so many children’s
eyes light up at the big boxes of gifts they were able to go home with. LEGO is
such a beautiful tool for many kids with disabilities to connect with, and for
those disadvantaged kids I think it was a wonderful gift that they would
otherwise not be able to access. LEGO is a gift they will all be able to play
with for years to come and encourage their creativity and keep them entertained
when things are hard, so thank you for doing that for so many kids. ”

“To those who helped a little overwhelmed 7yo (my son) by checking he had
someone close, offering treats, bringing dino puppets, gifting LEGO,
providing/clearing a space for him to get to an activity and those who just told
mum she was doing great... I can't thank you enough xxx Having something my ASD
etc child could participate AND bring his sibling to was so amazing as so many
events end up being either one or the other but not inclusive of both.”

“The generosity of Variety is amazing You do an outstanding job love you guys
xx”

“In between hospital and therapy appointments it was an amazing experience for
our family to be treated to the experiences at the Christmas party. Thank you to
everyone who worked so hard to create such a massive event for the children.”

“Variety allowed us to bring students who won’t receive much this Xmas. It was a
fantastic day out to celebrate.”

“What an amazing day and opportunity for my family. As a single mum of an
autistic boy and twin 2 year olds who struggle’s financially it was the an
amazing opportunity for us all. I just loved seeing my kids experience something
so amazing and put the biggest smiles on the faces. I can’t thank you enough. I
hope we will get this opportunity again as it just make my kids and I feel so
special for a day.”

“The day was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. I just want you all and the
volunteers to know their time and efforts are noticed and we are grateful.”

“It was incredible. Many of our students had not been to a show or carnival
event, and if they had, were only allowed to do one activity due to cost. The
excitement from all parts of the day and their wonderment at being able to have
a go at anything was amazing and heartwarming to witness. We are incredibly
grateful for the opportunity the students had and hope we will be invited in the
future!”

“We are from a small rural school and usually miss out on amazing experiences,
so to be invited back again this year was such a bonus. We have had half of our
school families impacted by trauma this year so the party day was a bright spot
in what is a challenging time for some of the students. Our students find
learning so hard, but what a joy to see them thrive at the party as the demands
of learning were not there and they could flourish in other ways that we don't
usually see at school. Thank you so much to all the very happy volunteers who
chatted to us throughout the day and to everyone who helped to organise it. The
LEGO presents were a hit and brought tears to the eyes of the parents as we got
off the train and they saw what their children were bringing home. THANK YOU!”

“I was so pleased to see so many volunteers there, they were so kind and helpful
and it was lovely seeing them interact with families and kids!”

“The Variety Kids Christmas Party brought so much joy and happiness to my
children who haven't stopped talking about it. Seeing your children happy is all
a mother wants at Christmas and Variety made that happen.”

Variety – the Children’s Charity thanks and acknowledges the Australian web 3
community involved - Tha Swami, Gami, Blueberry DAO, Theo and Mark from NFT
Melbourne, Jane and GT from Oshi Gallery, Goldy, 87Bones and Jake and Posty from
Synergy.exe as well as Big Shot Toys and all of the amazing Nouns community who
voted for Prop 420.

Explorer Grants - Trial

COMPLETED

Connect your wallet to like!

The purpose of Explorer Grants was to create a pipeline of new contributors to
Nouns by funding the exploration phase. We would help Nouns-pill talented
builders and guide them on their journey into crafting proposals! We ran an
intial program with 5 Explorers, each receiving 10 ETH. The flashiness of the
Prop House round ("10 ETH to Explore Nouns") gathered a lot of interest outside
of Nouns, which was great to build the initial brand.

First, Danizord.eth won the Prop House round but was funded by DCS Pod right
after winning, so he was no longer eligible to get an Explorer Grant. Here are
what the chosen grantees got up to:

* Greg - built Prop 249 (Solo Staking), built the Nouns API, and NounsList
* Drew - created valuable content about Nouns, crafted a thoughtful video and
TikToks, gained Nouns delegation from Wilson and voted with reason
consistently. Recently got funded for a Nouns Coffee Shop!!
* Jackson - created cookbook.dev/nouns, ran a workshop on how to build on Nouns
* Tigris - built many, many, hardware prototypes, and passed a successful
hardware prop, which is going great.

So 3 of the 4 active grant recipients have been involved in onchain proposals.
In that sense, I consider Explorer Grants a success!

Mistakes / Low Points:

* We had a fairly low voter turnout for the Prop House round
* One of our grantees got too busy and was not able to finish the grant, which
was cancelled and returned to the DAO
* Our follow-up prop did not succeed and was cancelled, because the DAO was not
interested in using small committees to allocate capital on behalf of the
DAO, which was a key part of the Explorers model.

I still think the Explorer Grants model is compelling for someone to run with.
The funding amount ($10,000 for two months) was quite steep but I do believe we
can afford to pay to attract top talent, which is a very scarce resource, to the
DAO.

November was packed with events, and we made sure to join in. We aimed our
efforts at activating in Portugal and Brazil, where we're already brewing. It
was an amazing opportunity to spread the CC0 culture and tell people how a beer
in the public domain was funded by a DAO - and even what a DAO is!

FARCASTER MEETUP @ ETH LISBON 🇵🇹

After kickstarting things at our launch event in Cervejaria Canil, Portugal, we
carried the momentum to the Farcaster Meetup during ETH Lisbon. There, meeting
our proposal sponsor Chris Carella, and celebrating with the purple community
over Public Good IPA was truly special.

👉 You can find all pictures here and watch the full video here. It's all CC0.

POLYGON GUILD LISBON 🇵🇹

Building on our connection with the Polygon Guild, a key web3 crew in Lisbon,
from the launch event, we sponsored their networking night. This was an ideal
setting for introducing people in the ecosystem to Public Good and Nouns.

👉 You can find all pictures here and watch the full video here. It's all CC0.

NFT.RIO 🇧🇷

True to our funding proposal's commitment to real marketing in Brazil, we rocked
it at NFT Rio. The event, held in a cultural center and open to everyone, was
the perfect spot to connect with everyone from web3 enthusiasts to those who'd
never heard of DAOs or NFTs. We gained a bunch of new fans, and our 100 limited
edition collectibles were all gone in just a few hours!

👉 You can find all pictures here and watch the full video here. It's all CC0.

For the expansion, Against the Grain in Kentucky, US, is already onboarded,
finalizing details to brew Public Good. We're close to getting another European
brewery (TBA) excited about joining us in brewing. The sunscreen manufacturer is
also on board, with everything aligned and we're now fine-tuning packaging and
formula details.

At the beginning of the year, we're excited to attend the Prop House IRL event
in Rio, a perfect opportunity to connect and share ideas. Back at the brewery,
Narcose is on the verge of launching a new pilsener version of the Public Good
at the beginning of the year. Follow us to stay tuned! 🍻

We've been pretty quiet the past 2 weeks or so, but we have a few updates we're
stoked to share with the community.

MINTBOARDS

Today we're excited to announce mintboards on uplink - a collective canvas
designed in partnership with based management - built on the shoulders of
nounsdao, base, and zora.

Mintboards allow users to onboard to online communities via cultural capital and
split protocol rewards with community treasuries along the way.

Mintboards work by allowing communities to create zora edition templates. Once a
template is created, anyone can use the template to post to the board -
abstracting onchain creation to a familiar image / gif / video upload UI.

0.000111 ETH from each mint goes to the community treasury.
0.000333 ETH from each mint goes to the creator.
0.00111 ETH from each mint goes to users who share with their referral address.

The based management team published a nice writeup of how this works and how
they plan on using the mintboard.

PROFILES

We shipped profiles, allowing users to claim protocol rewards, discover new
artists and their work, and create their player on uplink.

REDESIGNS

We redesigned various parts of the platform to include new features and improve
the UI.

Check out the first mintboard here. If you want to use uplink or have questions
feel free to shoot me a DM on twitter.

Nouns Name Service Expansion ⌐◨-◨
dotnouns.eth
COMPLETED
Copied link!
December 8, 2023
Connect your wallet to like!

Pushing NNS through one of the worst bear markets has been an experience that
alternated moments of great achievements with difficult challenges that made us
question our initial ideas and evolve some concepts.

It's been a year full of progresses and nounish experiments.

We are excited to finally have the opportunity to condense everything into a
propdate!

The end of 2022 was a period full of activity in the nouniverse and in the
market in general. New DAOs and nounish communities were popping every week with
a great auctions activity.

This completely changed in 2023.

To keep NNS relevant during the temporary market depression we tested many new
initiatives that allowed us to grow and stay on track.

NNS organically generated 120 ETH from mints which allowed our team to self fund
its operation for an additional 8 months beyond the 5 months of the previous
mandate.

NNS currently counts 1580 names and 700 holders placing itself as the 3rd
nounish project for number of holders after Lils (~2270) and Gnars (~710).

We are proud of this, especially because it shows people keep valuing NNS and
its concept of nounish identity, and are willing to pay from $100 to $1000 for
their favourite names.

We added some links that will allow you to follow our journey and discover what
happened during the last 12 months, in chronological order.

* NNS names went from a static image to an highly recognizable dynamic nounish
badge
We wanted to make NNS names different from the classic web3 domains. We
worked with @nonfungiblemotion to make 4 different NNS badges according to
the number of characters in them.

* Chrome extension that automatically resolves NNS names on Etherscan and
Opensea
Through this extension users are able to natively see any NNS on etherscan
and Opensea. This extension is also extremely flexible and allows us to add
new supported websites when needed.

* Hundreds of nounish NFTs distributed in viral initiatives through NNS Rewards
(later evolved in Social Staking)
NNS rewards were born as a way to give visibility to nounish projects through
fun and colourful illustrations. We bought hundreds of different NFTs and
distributed them to people in and outside the ecosystem.
In retrospective, NNS rewards have been a useful tool not just for creating
awareness around NNS, but also for artists and people interested in the
nouniverse.
We will probably bring them back in the coming weeks!

* Nounish Club allowed members of nounish communities to get a special NNS and
share special perks for other members.
The Nounish Club has been an NNS experiment that allowed members from nounish
communities to get a special NNS tier as a random number from 1000 to 9998.
(The number 9999 was reserved for the nounder noun 70)
Members of the Nounish Club could also share perks exclusively reserved to
the other members.
Nounish Club has been an initiative that created a big word of mouth on
Twitter, allowing new people that were out of the nouniverse to get their
nounish identity and creating connections between community members through
the concept of shared value.

* Reserved NNS for nouners (switched to manual after the forks)

All NNS numbers from 1 to 999 have been reserved to nouners and are gradually
being distributed.
Every nouner can ask the number of their nouns receiving the NNS at no cost.
We developed an automatic system to allow nouners to claim their number, but
with the uncertainty from the forks we switched the process to manual.
This initiative was made to create a commemorative badge for the first 999 nouns
allowing nouners to interact within the nouniverse with a clean number.

* NNS integrated into Guild next to other big names and into Everyname API made
external integrations easier

We've been constantly in touch with Guild to work on an integration to bring NNS
into their platform. They came up with an elegant solution that allowed NNS to
be out there right next to other famous naming protocols.
Right after, NNS has been integrated into Everyname API as well.

* NNS integrated in new projects of the ecosystem like Voter and Mogu
New nounish projects have been launched during the summer and we did our best
to integrate NNS there as well.
Wilson supported NNS on Voter and Martin on Mogu.
Working on this propdate we've noticed that Mogu is not correctly resolving
NNS names. We've DMd Martin and we'll fix the issue asap.

* NNS placed 5th in the global leaderboard of TLDs with Handshake support.
NNS has been recognised as a growing and emerging TLD in the Handshake
ecosystem placing 5th for number of registrations.
We've also been invited to speak at the Handshake yearly conference by The
Shake to talk about ⌐◨-◨ and the power of a meme.

* NOGS and the concept of proliferation token were launched to reward activity
in the nouniverse and proliferation across the world
We released Noggles (NOGS), an experimental proliferation token.
NOGS has been launched with no price, no liquidity pool and no exchange.
NOGS it's open and there are no limits to its applications, that means the
perception of NOGS can differ from person to person.
Anyway, we particulary liked the pov a nouner shared with us a few days ago:

> This social token can be considered as the ultimate fractional
> ownership of nounishness. In fact the only way you can get nogs right
> now, it's by being nounish.

NOGS has literally just started and we've just scratched the surface of many
other fascinating applications.

* NNS Rewards evolved into Social Staking as a way to automatically reward
nounish proliferation
We tested a first application of NOGS through the launch of Social Staking.
This system allows NNS users who show their .⌐◨-◨ in their X name to earn
NOGS every day as reward for their proliferation.
Social Staking is a system that will gradually support many other actions of
nounish proliferation. This can allow other projects to create special
nounish tasks that can be rewarded with NOGS.
Social Staking continues to be an important feature that gamifies
proliferation and that helped the .⌐◨-◨ to build a completely new set of
utilities from the classic web3 domains.

* NOGS has been integrated in every nounish community to reward the governance
participation of all the members
After testing NOGS as a reward for nounish proliferation we wanted to expand
this social token even more.
We permissionessly integrated NOGS into every nounish community with a
governance system.
Every time someone votes or creates a prop, they receive NOGS directly on
their Base address.
To this date, we rewarded the governance activity of 306 users with more than
1350 transactions.

* Social tipping experience is being explored thanks to noggles.network
Once all the nouniverse was beginning to be connected by NOGS, we started to
work on some ways to expand NOGS use cases through social tipping.
The idea is to make NOGS a token that can also be used to express gratitude,
excitement for a particular initiative or any onchain action.
noggles.network will be the place to do all this. The app is still in
building mode and it's been released within the NNS community for testing.
A more complete beta will be released within the end of the moth.

* Partnership with [redacted] to give the first nounish [redacted] powered by
NOGS to the nouniverse (official announcement soon)
We worked for months on a very important partnership that will bring into the
nouniverse the first nounish [redacted] powered by NOGS.
The original concept around NOGS has been greatly appreciated by many
builders in and outside the nouniverse who are actively working with us to
find new ways to integrate NOGS in their products, which will bring new
people in the nouniverse.
Partnerships like the one we will soon unveil are important because they
bring new and exceptional teams into the nouniverse, leveraging the open
access of NOGS as a way to onboard their users into the meme.

WHAT'S NEXT

It's been a very intense year that brought us at NNS Labs to get ready for a new
important chapter.
During this year, trends and ideas evolved and we don't want NNS to fall behind.

During the last months we designed a new upgrade around NNS that will transform
the protocol into an open infrastructure shared with the nouniverse.
This new NNS will allow anyone to integrate its minting system on their platform
and will also distribute 95% of its revenue across all the actors of the
protocol.

This is just a glimpse of the plan we can't wait to share with you in the coming
days.

Back in March '22 I thought the idea of a nounish lab fully focused on the
nouniverse and its communities was probably too crazy, but here we are.

I'm grateful for all the support we keep getting and I'm even more grateful to
you if you reached the end of this propdate.

NOUNISHPUNK UPDATE 1.0

Thank you, Nouns DAO, for your ongoing support! We're thrilled to share some
exciting updates on our Nounishpunk project:

We intended to submit this update a month ago, but due to Lilnouns DAO being our
sponsor, gaining access to the portal for our initial update took some time. As
a result, the information in this update represents a state that we were in
about a month ago. Since then, we have made significant progress, and our
current status is more advanced than what is reflected in this delayed update.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1- Completed the conceptualization of the HUD and its various elements.

The Health Bar and Power Bar are positioned at the bottom left of the screen,
indicating the player's health status and their available powers. On the bottom
right side, the current weapon details, including bullets and magazines, are
displayed. The mini-map is situated at the top-right corner of the screen.
Additionally, an inventory menu allows players to change their weapons during
gameplay, ensuring a dynamic and adaptable experience.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2- Implemented a captivating main menu and fully functional game settings.

The game's main menu is set within a three-dimensional environment, featuring
the hero character within the frame. This menu is complemented by unique music
and sound effects, enhancing the immersive experience right from the start.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3- Introduced a new AI class - Rider AI - for racing and chasing missions.

Nounishpunk offers various racing missions, some randomly generated at
intersections, while others form integral parts of the main storyline.
Additionally, we've integrated chasing missions where players confront diverse
challenges. For instance, some rebels might take hostages within the city,
requiring the player to chase, intercept, and neutralize the threat, ensuring
the safety of the hostages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4- Successful NFT minting of the Nounishpunk NFT collection.

We've successfully completed the minting process and are now actively
collaborating with the independent Nounishpunk community to seamlessly integrate
NFTs for our dedicated player base. These NFTs are set to deliver unique value
and experiences for the community.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5- We're bringing the entire team together at our company in Poland for better
focus on the project, and no one will be working remotely.

Our team comprises eight highly skilled game developers. By working together
under one roof, we're confident in our collective abilities to bring Nounishpunk
to its fullest potential, ensuring a cohesive and collaborative development
process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6- Delay Announcement

In our quest to enhance the game, we are introducing additional details and
exciting side missions. Due to these improvements, there will be a few months'
delay. We'll provide more information in the upcoming updates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stay tuned for thrilling visuals and in-depth insights as we advance through
these milestones, offering you a front-row seat to our progress in the world of
Nounishpunk!

Hey everyone! If you're reading this, Propdates v2 is live! You can find the new
contracts here. Major props to Onnnnion for putting these together and to Will
and David for reviewing the contracts!

Changes include:

* Admins no longer need to claim roles, transferring happens in one step.
Proposers do not need to transfer before writing their first propdate!
* We can now unlock proposals if the original proposing wallet is inactive, so
that contributors can post their updates. If you need an admin role
transfered, please let us know!
* The contracts are now upgradeable
* Various UI/UX improvements on the front-end as well, including a better way
to search proposals on the homepage and in "All Props".

Coming up next:

* Custom Propdates Nouns for proposers, designed by Facu
* Working with a designer to improve the site's overall UI/UX - my tailwind
skills can only take us so far ;)
* Making Propdates mintable

If you catch any bugs or issues, please let us know.

Nerman.js - A Nouns SDK
joelcares.eth
COMPLETED
Copied link!
December 1, 2023
Connect your wallet to like!

Work is complete on Prop 337, a sprint of Nerman development.

With the launch of DAO V3 and fork functionality, these were turbulent times in
Nouns DAO. Nerman bravely sailed the waves of arbitrage, a charming beacon of
robot light shining on the DAO, providing up-to-date information about on-chain
activity and drama. A guide, a friend, helping Nouners maintain informed
opinions about the DAO and navigate the Nounish current.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nouns DAO V3

Shortly into our term, amidst the Ether Rock and Alien Punk proposals, Nouns DAO
passed the Nouns DAO V3 Upgrade (Prop 356). We shifted gears to focus on this.
We had to update our code to accommodate changes to old events, implement events
for all of the new functionality, and get these events into all of the major
Nouns Discord servers for the community to follow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forking Fork

We successfully captured the first fork related events and registered the feeds
in the major Nouns discords. With Nerman we were able to watch as Nouns were
escrowed, joined the fork, and when the actual fork was executed. We saw this
happen twice with Nouns Fork 0 and Nouns Fork 1.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fork DAOs

We also implemented events for the newly created Fork DAOs. We primarily watched
them Rage Quit and claim their share of the fork treasury, but we also saw Fork
0 submit and pass a proposal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discord Forums

To deal with an increasing proposal and vote velocity we implemented a Discord
forum for DAO proposal notifications and discussions. Every new proposal is a
new thread.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Candidate Proposals

Nouns DAO V3 introduced Candidate Proposals, providing a permissionless path for
people to submit proposals to the DAO, get feedback, and find Nouner support
willing to sign and put them on-chain. We implemented all events for these
including for new proposals, proposal feedback, and proposal signatures. We
added these events to Discord and built a Discord forum to organize the feed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zero Votes

If a user doesn't have any Nouns or delegations they are still able to process
on-chain votes with 0 weight. Most front-ends and bots ignore these votes. We
decided to listen to 0-votes specifically and created feeds for them in multiple
discords. Our goal was to encourage people who want to participate in Nouns to
submit 0-votes in search of delegation. Since establishing these zero-vote
channels we now have regular 0-voters and zeroweight.eth has been using these
votes to dictate how their Noun votes in an "experiment in throwing weight
behind zero weight votes with reason."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federation Governance Pool

We set up events and feeds for Federation's Nouns Gov Pool, where delegated
Nouns votes are trustlessly auctioned off. During the DAO v3 transition and
subsequent fork there were almost 60 Nouns delegated here, and Nerman helped us
pay attention to the bids and activity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Propdates

Propdates is an on-chain project for Nouns DAO proposers to submit updates on
their proposals and eventually mark the proposal as complete. We pulled key
events into Discord for people to follow along.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NounsNymz

Nouns Nymz allows individuals to create a named identity (Nym) that has verified
Noun ownership with a zk-proof. This Nym can post on a message board of Noun
owners without revealing their ETH address. We implemented the events in
Nerman.js and sent those messages to feeds in various Discord guilds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lil Nouns

We implemented Lil Nouns events in Nerman.js and are working on developing a
forum for Lil Noun proposals like the Nouns DAO one, with code contributions
from lil dot. We also advised Lil Nouns in the establishment of Lil Nouncil, a
Nouncil fork that votes with delegated Lil Nouns.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SharkDAO

SharkDAO was able to automate their voting pipeline with the help of Nerman.js.
They used the "proposalCreated" event to trigger the creation of their snapshot
polls. You can view the code on Nick Dodson's Github.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Data Indexing

Nerman.js now has indexing functionality, allowing users to retrieve data from
all on-chain Nouns events with a single function call. Indexed data is stored
locally and Nerman.js has instant access to all Nouns data without relying on a
separate hosted service like subgraph. Currently we're storing the data as
files, and an up-to-date version of the indexed files is included with the
library so you don't have to start indexing from scratch. Our goal is to
simplify access to on-chain Nouns data so you can focus on building compelling
things with it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nouns.id

We built https://nouns.id as a simple REST API to demonstrate the power of our
indexed data. Put a number after the URL like this https://nouns.id/68 and you
will receive a JSON response with relevant data for that Noun. Look at the
speed. Look at the power.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Documentation

We have kept our projects well documented for people to understand the code and
how to use the libraries / bots.

* Website - Nerman
* Nerman.js - Github (code & documentation)
* Nerman Discord - Github - Documentation

We also gone through all Nouns DAO contracts and created useful documentation
for anyone building in Nouns. In Nerman.js docs we've meticulously labelled
every event attribute, linked to where the events are triggered for context, and
added extra details based on our working experience. Our goal is to build a
developer map of Nouns DAO, for both on-chain and off-chain events. The page
below is Nerman's first guide to Nouns DAO contracts and events.

* Nouns.biz - Nouns DAO Contracts & Events

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other General Work Completed

* Code maintenance, including triggers and unit tests to help with development
* Improving performance, like decreasing JSON RPC calls needed
* Continued work setting up and optimizing event feeds in Discords
* General consulting for communities setting up feeds and governance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IN CONCLUSION

Nerman is having a blast. He's ready to get busy and has big goals. We have more
tools to build, and want to bring builder communities together to build with
them. You can expect another proposal shortly.

SIGNAGE

We planned and executed a multi-faceted signage campaign, including stickers and
posters inside gondolas, at gondola stations and in 2 of the on-mountain
restaurants. All signage was designed in collaboration with Ripe (Warpcast |
𝕏/Twitter) and installed by the Rusutsu team with the help of April in Q1 2023
after our proposal's success and will continue to be displayed throughout the
upcoming Winter season into 2024.

We've already seen some organic discovery being shared on socials.

We're collecting data via QR code scans which currently lead to an onboarding
page in both Japanese and English. The QR codes are dynamic and we can change
what they link to at any time which may prove beneficial for events throughout
the upcoming season. We're collecting stats from all scans which will be
presented at the end of the proposal period.

Below you will find the designs and some photos of the signage installed to get
some idea of the scale, although it's still hard to capture without seeing in
person. We'll be making a full gallery with lots more photos and video which
will be accessible on alps.center in the future.

GONDOLA SIGNAGE

3 different designs, 60 x 16cm stickers in 247 gondolas at the heart of the
resort, connecting East and West Mountains. With an average of 9 minutes travel
time per gondola trip, a 6,000 person carrying capacity per hour, and operating
daily from 9am-4pm, these are sure to capture people's imagination while they're
at the resort.

GONDOLA STATION SIGNAGE

168 x 119cm signs at 3 gondola station lift lines, providing large format
visuals to skiers and snowboarders before riding gondolas.

RESTAURANT SIGNAGE

We had some very large prints made for 2 of the on-mountain restaurants which
represent 60% of the resort’s daytime food and beverage activity and are visited
by almost every person on the mountain.

STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT

LONE PINE RESTAURANT

We work in public! You can follow along and get involved in the Alps Discord.

P.S. You should join us in January at Rusutsu.

Stay tuned for more propdates!

Apologies for the delays regarding the execution of this prop.

Originally we thought that Greg would write the smart contract to randomly
distribute the prize ETH but that had some delays and then this Prop House prop

Congrats to the winners!

Even though the prize program was only for three months we still have quite a
number of validators still producing blocks with the ⌐◨-◨ graffiti flag. You can
check out the activity here: nogglesgraffiti.wtf

The top stats banner is showing cumulative numbers but the results of this prop
is quite impressive:

A total of 5235 blocks with the ⌐◨-◨ graffiti flag permanently etched into the
Ethereum blockchain. Also 1109 solo stakers that have took the manual action to
add the ⌐◨-◨ graffiti flag to their staking node's consensus client
configuration for this to happen. The 1109 number is the count of unique fee
recipient addresses of proposers so it doesn't overcount the case where the same
solo staker has a lot of validators (unless they set up different fee recipient
addresses for each validator for some reason, many do not for convenience's
sake).

In the coming weeks the Succinct team will come to the DAO with a proposal to
make this autonomous system run continuously with lower prize distribution
amounts (maybe 0.1 ETH x 5 winners = 0.5 ETH per month). Trustless autonomous
systems of programs that would have required trusted multisigs and manual
administration previously is very cool and I'm excited for more of Nouns'
onchain world to be powered by these types of autonomous systems.

MUCHO LOVE UPDATE #3

I RECOGNIZE THIS UPDATE IS QUITE DETAILED, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT TO FULLY CONVEY
THE SCOPE OF OUR MUCHO LOVE MEDICAL MISSION. THANK YOU FOR READING, AND PLEASE
FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

MUCHO LOVE: SUSTAINABLE HEALTH MISSIONS

It's with a heart full of excitement and hope that we share the latest update on
our new Sustainable Health Missions (SHM) initiative that arised from one of our
Mucho Love activities. Our recent medical mission to the underserved community
of Mata Gorda, Baní, in the Dominican Republic, unfolded into an experience far
surpassing our expectations, reshaping our perspectives and solidifying our
resolve to make a lasting impact.

We received support from doctors at UNIBE, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard
Medical School, and Massachusetts General Hospital. This initiative was
spearheaded by Dr. Astacio, Dr. Prasad, Dr. Matos, and the Mucho Love team.

UNDERSTANDING SHM: MISSION, VISION, AND IMPACT

WHAT EXACTLY IS SHM?

Sustainable Health Missions (SHM) is a global health initiative that emerged
from a profound recognition of the need for improved healthcare delivery in the
Dominican Republic and beyond. It brings together international doctors, data
analysts, and researchers in a collaborative effort to redefine and enhance
global health practices.

MISSION:

Our mission at SHM is to develop and disseminate a replicable, low-cost, and
sustainable framework for global health missions. We are dedicated to providing
free access to quality healthcare, focusing on ensuring that our model is not
just effective, but universally accessible. Central to the SHM approach is the
mobilization of medical professionals worldwide to conduct short-term health
missions, supplemented by telemedical follow-ups. This combination ensures a
sustained impact on the health outcomes of the communities we serve, bridging
the gap between immediate care and long-term wellness.

VISION:

Our vision is a world where every community, regardless of location or economic
status, has regular access to quality healthcare. We envision creating a global
network of medical professionals committed to this cause, willing to share their
expertise across borders. By establishing a rotation system of doctors for
medical missions, we aim to ensure continuous and sustainable healthcare
delivery in areas that need it most.

OUR APPROACH:

The concept behind SHM is rooted in the belief that sustainable, low-cost
medical missions can revolutionize global health. While many doctors may not
commit to long-term stays in remote areas, many are willing to participate in
short-term missions. Our strategy involves creating a system where doctors can
rotate through various missions, providing consistent healthcare to communities
worldwide. Chronic health issues, which require long-term management, are a
primary focus of our missions. By establishing a routine of healthcare delivery
every 1-6 months, we can make a significant difference in managing these chronic
conditions.

THE SHM FRAMEWORK:

SHM is more than just a series of missions; it's about creating a replicable and
sustainable model. This framework will serve as a blueprint for organizing and
executing medical missions efficiently and effectively. It's about harnessing
the goodwill of healthcare professionals and channeling it into a structured,
impactful program that reaches communities across the globe.

WHY WAS THE MUCHO LOVE MEDICAL MISSION SO SPECIAL?

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NOUNS IN THE SHM LOGO

In the planning phase of our mission, the team delved deep into the workings of
Nouns, its funding model, and the potential of CC0 and on-chain technologies. A
critical challenge in public health, the issue of ownership, where entities
funding initiatives often retain all data, was addressed head-on. This paradigm
shift was unprecedented for medical professionals with over 15 years of
experience. For the first time, every detail of the project was meticulously
documented in both written form and media, concurrently. This innovative
approach sparked a global interest among doctors.

NOUNS: THE HEART OF SHM

Nouns lies at the very heart of the Sustainable Health Missions. It embodies the
logos, ethos, and pathos of our overarching goals. Our vision aligns with
transforming Nouns into a universal symbol of goodness and inspiration, driving
others to take action and bring about positive change. To many, Nouns already
represents this emblem of hope and motivation, and we envision it continuing to
find a place in more hearts globally.

Nouns offers solutions to major challenges previously outlined in public health,
emerging as a symbol under which doctors worldwide can unite. It stands as a
beacon for apolitical, unbiased collaboration, always prioritizing the best
interests of the communities we serve. In the SHM logo, Nouns symbolizes our
commitment to these principles, reflecting our dedication to accessible,
equitable, and high-quality healthcare for all.

As we forge ahead, Nouns is not just a part of our logo; it's a testament to our
philosophy and a guiding light in our journey towards global health betterment.

COMMUNITY-BASED MEDICINE

How did we achieve an exceptional 43% attendance rate in a community of 1,200
people for our medical mission, a feat almost unheard of in the medical field?
The key was in truly understanding and connecting with our community.

We gained invaluable support from the local leaders in Mata Gorda, which was
instrumental in making this happen. We quickly realized that digital flyers,
WhatsApp groups, videos, or traditional marketing methods typically used for
medical missions wouldn't be sufficient on their own. The most effective
strategy for ensuring high attendance involved direct, in-person interactions,
empowering community members, and researching local methods for disseminating
information.

Surprisingly, we discovered that 'perifoneo' was the most effective approach in
Mata Gorda. To get a real sense of what perifoneo entails, check out this video:
Perifoneo in Action.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT OF SHM

Recently, Dr. Prasad made a significant impact at the 9th International Public
Health Conference in Bangladesh, where he not only presented research papers and
innovative ideas but also introduced the Sustainable Health Missions (SHM)
concept to the international community. The response was overwhelmingly
positive, with attendees expressing great enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more
about SHM – its methodology, potential for collaboration, and future prospects.

This surge of interest in SHM and Mucho Love’s medical mission marks a pivotal
moment. With interest already brewing from representatives and colleagues in 11
different countries, we’re actively exploring ways for them to engage and propel
this initiative forward.

As the global medical community's interest continues to grow, we're filled with
optimism for the future. SHM is more than just an initiative; it's a testament
to the spirit of Nouns and Mucho Love, setting a new standard in global health
and emerging as a symbol of hope and progress in healthcare.

It's been a while since prop 218's success and we got to work right away,
earlier in 2023.

To catch up on what we planned, you can read the prop here: nouns.wtf or
nouns.camp

So a lot has been done already, with a lot more to come throughout the coming
months.

Because we're doing so many things with this proposal, we've written a bunch of
updates that we'll drop one at a time over the coming days to get you all caught
up with the progress, then we'll post real time updates throughout the Winter
ahead.

We'll then post a final report of the whole proposal's impact at the end of the
season.

We've been working in public for the majority of the time and you can follow
along and get involved in the Alps Discord.

P.S. You should join us in January at Rusutsu.

Nouns has successfully executed its first L2 tx on Base and minted the first
batch of Nouns themed BasePaint dailys (BasePaint 98) for ~2ETH.

You can see the txs here:

* Deposit to Base Portal
* Subscription to BasePaint bot
* Mint

650+ artists will be splitting the profits from the mint of which more than 70%+
was a Nouns contribution.

Unfortunately though, we set the receiving address to the alias of the Nouns DAO
proxy instead of the executor. This means that the mints were received on a Base
address that the DAO does not control and won't be able to move the NFTs without
an upgrade. I apologize for the oversight.

The second day of Nouns x BasePaint continues today with the Fiery Chef and
finalizes tomorrow with the Nouns Wolf.

Sup. Volky here!

If you've only been following the prop onchain you might be asking yourself what
I am doing here. Turns out me and CoralOrca joined forces to deliver on this
prop 🤝

Short intro for those that didn't know me: I've been building in the Nouns space
for some time now, including, among others, Nomo Nouns, Nouns 101, and, that
which lead me to this project: Noundry Studio

To foster a more integrated Noundry experience I decided to work on Noundry
Gallery with Coral to build the next piece of the Noundry puzzle.

So, enough small talk, let's get to the meat of the update. Here's what me and
Orca have been cooking up:

I present to you, Noundry Gallery v2! It has now joined
https://studio.noundry.wtf on the memorable domain https://gallery.noundry.wtf

Here's the list of updates:

* Introduced SIWE to make it all the more secure.

* Infinite scrolling when browsing the gallery and when trying out specific
traits.

* Streamlined trait submission flow, for all trait types (except backgrounds,
which are just plain colors)

* Trait peeking. Hover/touch the trait type icon to highlight the trait artwork
against a checkerboard background

* ENS name and avatar integration

* Open Graph metadata and thumbnails for prettier links shared on other
platforms

* Made it weirder

We've come a long way since the original proposal went to a vote, and some
things have changed:

* We got some feedback regarding the curation committee and concerns raised
around having a closed process for submitting traits for inclusion in the
DAO. We've since pivoted to an open and community-centered approach with no
gatekeeping whatsoever.
* Funds that were allocated to the curation committee have been repurposed to
contests. Using the available funds (20 ETH), we want to organize 4 contests
with different structures and learn from each of them to see what yields the
best results and generates the most participation.
* You can submit Noggles and Bodies to the gallery! The experience wouldn't be
complete without them
* Trait submissions to the DAO as candidate proposals will be open to all

CELEBRATING NOUNDRY

There's a lot of amazing traits lost in old discord servers, or that never got
to the spotlight. This is the moment to bring them back into everyone's
attention (including the contest judges! 👀)

To celebrate the next step in Noundry, and to give you some incentives to go
through the spider webs and scavenging for your old Noundry artwork we're
holding a art contest.
The judges will be no other than the latest Nouniversary trait contributors:

* @amiyoko_eth
* @facuserif
* @Goldypix
* @krel404
* @modrovsky
* @tummlin

Those Noundry Veterans will check every single trait submitted to the gallery up
until the deadline on December 10th (midnight PST) to award 10 notable
contributions (judged accordingly to the guidelines with 0.5ETH each. We want to
incentivize you to keep up with the awesome pixel art, and also to shine the
spotlight on the best of the best traits, which might help with the voting if
they eventually are proposed as additions to the DAO's artwork!

Speaking of which, we did not forget about the roadmap on this prop! Now that
we've laid a solid foundation to the gallery, we can move on to some exciting
new features.

UPCOMING

We still have some boxes to tick, and we did not forget about:

* Submitting traits to the DAO.
* Discord, Twitter and Farcaster bots to showcase the latest submissions
* Comments and discussion on trait pages
* Streamlined integration with Noundry Studio

With these features we'll have the most accessible Noundry experience ever, and
it won't be restricted to the Nouniversary alone! So let's gather up in the
official channels and enjoy Noundry all year round!

Hey everyone quick update here:

1. we're now two reviews into our collaboration with The Line and have made
some pretty significant progress on story and setting. A few highlights:

a) Story is now one of co-creation, where Protocol Guild drives the
contribution, but supported by communities like Nouns.
b) We made the story work as a celebration of EIP 4844, but also standalone – so
that if we can match the timing, we can leverage the dencun upgrade.
c) We started fleshing out the world so that it's full of Ethereum inspired
characters making sure to call in important communities like OP, Base, Arb,
Zora, Farcaster, etc.

2. We officially signed the engagement contract and have transfered the first
half of the payment from our multisig to the Line

Make Droposals Great Again
yitong.eth
COMPLETED
Copied link!
November 14, 2023
Connect your wallet to like!

Hey everyone – wanted to provide an update on the droposals builder. We've spend
the last month designing and buiding against this proposal to create simple
droposals experience through a secondary governor. The work is mostly done and
you can see it here. We've been working with Supriyo on using the Rise of Blus
episode 2 as the first drop.

However, as we approached the launch date, we grow less and less confident that
our approach of creating a secondary governor is the correct one.

Simply put – the extra work required to integrate a new contract would create
fragmented experiences across the governance clients landscape, and lead to
droposals showing up in some places, but not others – ultimately to the
detriment of the proposer and the wider nouns community.

We initially planned to solve this problem by directly updating the nouns.wtf
and agora sites, but as more and more clients emerged, we realized that it would
not be realistic to try to keep all clients updated on two sets of contracts.
The extra integration required would be too burdensome for small teams.

So this is why we've made the difficult decision to cancel the launch of our
droposals builder, helped supriyo launch his drop on the current nouns governor
(which is about the pass!), and returned the full 20 ETH to the treasury
(transaction here).

We still think Droposals are a huge opportunity for the DAO, but our original
approach was not the right one. That's why we want to return the funds on this
proposal, and mark the Proposal as complete (or really – cancelled).

We hope to return to this idea with a different approach in the future, but if
anyone else wants to take a swing at this in the meantime, please do not
hesitate to reach out to us. We're happy to share our experience and learnings
in depth.

As for next steps, we're excited to focus on the Protocol Guild Film droposal,
which is shaping up to be incredible! As that effort gets closer to launch next
year, it'll give us an opportunity to come back to the tooling opportunity too
:)

Hey everyone! Finally getting around to sending out a propdate on prop 215. It's
probably been a while since some of you have heard from us, so here's a quick
recap:

> Uplink bootstraps brand development by turning observers into super users
> through the power of co-creation. From art campaigns to open-sourcing new logo
> design and more, organizations can host creator contests to unlock access to
> low-cost creative, authentic content and deeper connections with their most
> passionate supporters. At the same time, supporters gain a novel, immersive,
> and rewarding way to interact with their favorite organizations. In addition,
> our services are integrated with the Xitter API, allowing hosts to collect
> submissions via Twitter for max proliferation.

PROGRESS

We launched on October 20th with a contest of our own to remix the new platform
branding. We received some awesome submissions and officially kicked off the
Uplink era. After this contest, we shipped support for video submissions.

New loading screen by gulamanyow.cc0-gang.eth

Shortly afterwards, Krause House and TNS jumped on the platform, each hosting a
Halloween themed contest with their own unique twists. From our perspective, the
TNS contest was a big hit and probably the most successful contest they've run
with us to date (going back to our old MVP). An animator from Rick and Morty
submitted and lived streamed his creative process on Twitch. 2 of the winners
were video submissions, giving us confidence that video is an important medium
for creators on Uplink and worth investing more brain cycles in.

Yesterday we launched integration with assets on Base L2, and later that night
Based Management came onboard with a contest of their own.

That pretty much brings us to where we are today. We're (hopefully) launching an
awesome new feature by the end of this week. Right now we're aggressively in
ship mode - taking feedback from the latest contests and designing new features
for our incumbent hosts and creators. Next week we'll spend a bit more time in
the onboarding department.

USAGE METRICS

Here are some analytics from launch to now (last 30 days). As you can see,
visitor influx is tightly coupled with contest activity. We're planning some new
features that will bring users in regardless of contest status.

WRAPPING UP

I wanted to keep this update short and sweet, but we plan on using Farcaster,
updates.wtf, and our Twitter accounts to share the latest - we haven't quite
figured out how to balance all 3 of these yet but we're getting there. Also, the
site is open for anyone to create a contest. If you're interested or have
questions, please let us know.

THE NOUN SQUARE SEASON 2 RE-CAP

art by ilustradora

The Noun Square Onchain Media Collective is one of the most committed, effective
and Lindy teams ever funded by Nouns.

We have been making a meaningful impact on the community throughout Season 2,
via daily Spaces, regular art contests, entertaining video content and more. Our
highly engaged network of fans has produced nearly 6 Million unique content
impressions so far this year on X alone.

We have responded to Nouner feedback and leaned down our operations as much as
possible, shifting focus to the creation of more rich video content, including a
promising new weekly video podcast called Zero Rights Reserved
(YouTube)(Spotify), which has racked up over 350,000 views across our socials in
just 4 months.

We've also been trailblazers when it comes to Nouns on Ethereum L2's, onboarding
our community to Optimism, Zora Network and soon BASE through various
initiatives and educational content.

Unique among funded Nouns projects, we raised more than 20 ETH in operations
funding from non-Nouns sources so far this year, and have stretched the 6 month
mandate from Prop 226 to 9+ months.

LAST SEASON, ON THE NOUN SQUARE...

A Short List of Some Notable Things We Accomplished During Season 2:

* We have remained steadfast in our commitment to act as a reliable daily
touchpoint for the nouniverse, hosting more than 500 Noun O' Clock LIVE shows
in a row without missing a single day, accumulating almost 40,000 total
Spaces listens year-to-date and impressive overall engagement metrics from
our X Community, including an average of 20,000 impressions, 215 Likes and
112 Re-Posts PER DAY.
* After receiving Nouner feedback, we pivoted much of our team energy into
creating more pieces of engaging video content like "This Week in Nouns",
educational tutorials, and our new weekly video podcast Zero Rights Reserved.
* We scaled back our original project scope considerably by partially
sunsetting the SoapBox program and leaning down the core team to do more with
less, ultimately stretching a 6 month engagement to 9+ months. We
"open-sourced" the process and created a dedicated account for community
spaces called TNS OpenMic (more on this below).
* We have raised a total of 20+ ETH so far from outside sources towards the
funding of our operations and contests via a combination of trial sponsorship
collaborations with values-aligned groups, grants awards, and our daily NOMO
Edition mint proceeds.
* We have positioned ourselves as a vanguard of nounish activity on Ethereum
L2, educating and onboarding our community to the Optimism network via NOMO,
the Zora Network through our weekly podcast open editions, and soon the BASE
L2 with our imminent Yellow Collective launch.

1) CONTINUED CONSISTENCY AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING + SUPPORT OF NOUNS-FUNDED
PROJECTS

So far this year, we have hosted 311 consecutive Noun O' Clock LIVE X Spaces,
bringing our lifetime running total to 510 straight Spaces. If you include our
various other nounish Spaces as well, the total year-to-date jumps to 857
Spaces, which equates to 921 total hours on air, or a total of 38 full days of
broadcasting nounish content, with a total of 37,800 cumulative listeners.

YTD stats from Superspaces.ai

On top of our daily Spaces participation, we have also seen tremendous X/Twitter
timeline engagement from TNS community on our art contests, video content and
other daily posts, with an impressive 5.9 Million impressions so far year to
date, which equates to a per-day rate of nearly 20,000 impressions, 215 Likes
and 112 Re-Posts! We've also completely organically grown our following by
almost 100% to 9100 followers, which makes us the largest nounish account by
follower count on X after @nounsdao and our friends at @nounsesports.

YTD stats from X.com

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to serving as a consistent and reliable content hub for Nouns fans,
we have also strived to be a helpful media liaison to nounish subDAOs and funded
Nouns projects, helping to coordinate and host Twitter/X events, Discord events
and more, and generally amplify their messaging to our network.

Some examples of this kind of community support:

* Supporting the "Nouns: A Movie" team by coordinating and hosting a watch
party for their Episode 1 Premiere, and amplifying their various
announcements and initiatives like their open casting call, etc.
* Supporting the Nouns AI pod by cohosting a weekly Update Call in our Discord
that was free for anyone to join and keep up to date with what that team was
building, as well as general news from the AI space. (Example archive
recording here.) We also produced this awesome video summarizing everything
Nouns AI accomplished in 2023.
* Supporting Nouns Esports by amplifying various contests and announcements,
co-hosting weekly Twitter/X Spaces, and hosting a live watch party by request
during their TI12 faceoff against GG.
* Collaborating with Nouns Agora to host a Nouns Governance Discussion most
weeks on Twitter/X Spaces with Yitong.
* Supporting Brennen's Tavern project by recently moving one day per week of
Noun O' Clock LIVE to tavern.fm. (Not a Nouns-funded project per se, but
Brennen is a Nouner and we like the duck.)
* Collaborating to support Lil Nouns DAO's The Lil Nouns Show, and producing a
feature video on their funded Lil Bevs proposal (tentative release date
January 2024.)
* Collaborating with subDAOs such as Lil Nouns DAO, Gnars, Food Nouns, Nouns
Amigos, Nouns Japan, NounsCN, Nouns BR and more to host and cohost regular
spaces for their communities.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Engaging Nounish Artists and Creatives:

Our art contests have continued to be very popular in terms of engagement, and
also continue to impress in terms of quality and quantity of output. Here are a
couple examples of winning entries from some of our many contests this year:

Nounish Halloween Contest

TNS Anniversary Art Contest Winners

We constantly see new people tuning into our spaces and engaging with our
content, asking questions about Nouns, etc. in the days following an art
contest. This is part of the reason why have centred the vision of our upcoming
Yellow Collective launch around funding and empowering as many nounish artists
and creatives as possible (more below.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crowd-Sourced Auction Settling:

Speaking of art, one other way that TNS has contributed to the Nouns ecosystem
this season is by making a fun daily spectacle of choosing the new Noun of the
Day on Noun O' Clock LIVE.

With the help of our audience, we have settled some pretty amazing Nouns this
year, including some special ones for occasions, such as a Halloween Ghost, a
Birthday Cake for Aug 8, a Black Cat for Token 666, etc. Some of these aesthetic
Nouns have sold at auction for above-average prices, even despite the fork
dynamic. Noun 658 (Dark Factory) for example sold for 51 ETH, a full 25 ETH more
than the average Noun was going for at that time.

We also challenged ourselves earlier this year to try and mint every unminted
Noun head, and succeeded just prior to the 2nd Nouniversary. We then challenged
ourselves again to mint all the newly added heads as quickly as possible, and
succeeded in less than 2 weeks. As a result, Proposal 401 was able to award
every contributing artist an existing Noun with their own created head.

Here is a small selection of the many aesthetic Nouns we have helped to mint so
far this year:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) A FRESH FOCUS ON VIDEO CONTENT:

During the earliest months of this season, TNS was producing and facilitating an
average of 40 Twitter/X Spaces per week for various nounish communities. We
sought and received feedback from nouners and our audience, and learned that
their favorite content was moreso our educational/informative video content on
YouTube and TikTok, and so we decided as a team to shift our resources and
attention towards increasing the production of this kind of rich media content
on a more regular basis.

Since that time, we have been producing 5-8 high quality pieces of video content
per month. Here are some notable examples of rich media produced by TNS this
year:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Week in Nouns Series (fka Prop Talk): A 3 minute weekly video summarizing
everything exciting that's happening in Nouns, produced and hosted by the
indomitable JackWyldes. Primarily an X-native release, these have received a
combined 70,000+ views so far this year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crypto Advocacy / Gitcoin: Nouns doesn't celebrate its wins often enough, so we
decided to make a short video about our 100K donation to the Gitcoin Crypto
Advocacy Round. This piece of evergreen content has received nearly 30,000 views
so far since its release.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nouns AI approached us and asked us to produce an engaging video about
everything their pod built in 2023. This was primarily an X release, but you can
also watch it here on YouTube.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tutorials and Educational Videos About Onchain Life: Our community loves
learning about Ethereum, how to use L2s, how to apply for grants, etc. and our
TNS Tutorials Series helps them along that path. Our Tutorials videos have
accumulated over 50,000 views this year across our socials.

Notable Video Archives of Popular Twitter Spaces Events such as our All About
that Base event featuring Jesse Pollak, this Nouns RageQuit Debate moderated by
the Verbs team, this open discussion of Private Voting, this CC0 Round-table
with Danny Cole and David Horvath, etc.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zero Rights Reserved Podcast: We are 16 episodes in and growing in popularity,
with over 350,000 views so far in 4 months. (More on this in the dedicated
section below.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to longform video content, we have also continued to leverage our
TNS TikTok Accounts to repurpose shorter versions of our videos, and
platform-native shorts. We've continued to grow our English language and
Brazilian Portuguese language accounts this year to a combined 38,500 followers,
and have received over 150,000 views on our short videos there YTD.

Year-to-date, our video content has received over 650,000 views across our
socials, with 70% of that content coming in the latter part of the Season
following our renewed emphasis on video production and distribution.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) THE ZERO RIGHTS RESERVED PODCAST: EARLY SIGNS OF SUCCESS

Zero Rights Reserved is a weekly video podcast that we launched in June as part
of our renewed focus on creating more rich digital media. It is a podcast about
Nouns, DAOs, Ethereum, Art and more, and our goal is to interview interesting
guests from around the onchain space from a Nounish perspective, while educating
and entertaining our audience and bridging gaps to other like-minded
communities.

So far, the podcast has been getting extremely good feedback from listeners both
inside and outside the nouns community, as well as from the guests that we have
invited on:

Notable guests so far have included Jack Butcher, Deadfellaz cofounder Psych,
Supriyo from Nouns Movie, Bob Burnquist, Chris and Eric from Stoopid Buddy,
Cryptopunk Noah, Dan Romero, founder of Farcaster, and more.

ZEROPOD has also proven to be our most popular piece of recurring video content
so far, racking up over 350K impressions across TNS socials for the first 16
episodes. Podcast subscriptions and downloads are all steadily growing, and from
a human impact perspective, the initiative has been a great bridge to other
values-aligned communities such as Gitcoin, Checks/Opepen, Deadfellaz,
OnChainMonkey and more. We have started to see more and more people from these
other communities joining Noun O' Clock LIVE regularly to learn more about Nouns
after having their interest piqued by the pod!

We have also been minting each episode of ZEROPOD as a special ONCHAIN
collection on Zora using the Zora L2 network. You can check them out and mint
for free here.

Like all of our content at TNS, and as the name would imply, all Zero Rights
Reserved conetent is fully CC0, and we have started to compile a simple
repository of both raw and edited footage that anyone is free to use however
they see fit. You can view the repository here.

We believe ZEROPOD has the potential to become our co-flaship production
alongside Noun O' Clock LIVE. The former bringing in nouns-curious eyeballs from
all over the web 3 space, while the latter acts as an effective sieve to catch
artists and creatives and help them find ways to contribute meaningfully to the
community.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) A NOTE ABOUT TEAM ADAPTABILITY

As mentioned previously, in the early part of this year, TNS was managing and
facilitating up to 40 Twitter Spaces per week for communities such as Gnars, Lil
Nouns, Unouns, Nouns Amigos, and more via our SoapBox Program.

While we do maintain that the SoapBox program was impactful for
community-building, and was certainly appreciated in many corners of the
nouniverse, it also demanded a lot of labor to maintain in terms of scheduling,
administration, social media messaging, hosting and coordination. As we started
to receive feedback from Nouns DAO members that they did not feel SoapBox should
be a primary focus for TNS, we made the difficult decision to mostly wind it
down.

So as not to leave our communities in the lurch, we did the social media
equivalent of making SoapBox "open source": We built a new affiliated X account
called TNS OpenMic, where any nounsfolk could apply to host a show about any
nounish community or topic of their choosing. We will still amplify where
possible, but without the previous commitment of in-house scheduling, hosting,
messaging etc. Our new vision for OpenMic is that it can act as a kind of Public
Access Channel for Nouns, where anyone can show up and spin up a Space with a
built-in potential audience and iterate their concept.

As a result of these and other changes to our day-to-day operations, we have
been able to stretch our previous mandate of 6 months from prop 226 to 9+
months.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5) PROMISING PROGRESS ON SELF-FUNDING & ALTERNATIVE FUNDING SOURCES

One of our primary goals in Season 2 was to explore alternate sources of funding
to become more self-sufficient as an organization, and we have explored this
priority from three main angles: 1) Sponsorship collaborations, 2) Grants from
other sources, and 3) Crypto Native revenue generation.

On item 1, we were able to negotiate 4 collaborations with values-aligned
organizations plus a one-off video commission, for a total ETH value of 5.5 ETH.
Thank you to Dawn Wallet, Gnars DAO and OnChainMonkey for being open to
collaboration. We have open discussions with various other organizations and
protocols as well for future month-long content sponsorship collaborations.

Secondly, we were extremely grateful to be awarded a Gitcoin Public Goods grant
of 2.5 ETH for outstanding work in Web 3 Education and Onboarding, and a 5 ETH
grant from Builder DAO to seed the imminently launching Yellow Collective
treasury with funds to be used for nounish art contests and content commissions.

And finally, we have brought in a total of 9.14 ETH YTD from our NOMO Nouns
Daily Edition mints over the course of Season 2. We have also been iterating and
evolving the NOMO collection and experience to make it more accessible for our
audience. This summer, we migrated the collection to the Optimism L2 to solve
the problem of a $7 daily mint that was costing $50 in gas on mainnet. Recently,
we also made the decision to lower the mint cost from ~$7 to ~$1 to again
encourage more broad participation from our community on a daily basis.

With these four sources combined, we have so far raised 22.14 ETH in outside
revenue and grants, and we hope to double this amount in Season 3.

One way that we will do that is with the launch of The Yellow Collective, a new
TNS onchain club that will be deployed this month as a daily nounish auction on
the BASE L2 using Nouns Builder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6) NOUNS ON THE OP STACK

We noticed an interesting problem when talking to our community: Many wanted to
"Enjoy Ethereum", but they were fed up with paying high gas fees to do so. We
decided to make it part of our mandate to teach our 50,000+ followers across
socials about the benefits of using OP Stack chains, and show them exactly how
to do it.

First, we migrated our daily edition collection "NOMO Nouns" from mainnet to OP,
and produced some helpful tutorials on how to bridge ETH. Next, we started
minting our Zero Rights Reserved podcasts as FREE mint collectibles on Zora L2
(shout out Jacob for helping us with this rollout.)

Finally, we are launching a "DAO" (onchain collective) on BASE L2 using Nouns
Builder this month, called The Yellow Collective. You can learn more about our
plans for this, and the BASE-deployed "Collective Nouns" daily auctions in our
announcement thread here.

This diagram helps to illustrate our three-pronged strategy for educating the
Nouns community about the OP Stack, and the importance of Ethereum L2s:

One of our core ideals is to help create a safe and accesible place for people
from all over the world to be able to Enjoy Nouns, and we are excited to
leverage these L2 initiatives to do just that.

But most of all, we're just excited for these Collective Nouns auctions to
start... I mean, just look at these community-drawn traits that won our recent
Prop House competition!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for now! Thank you for tuning in for TNS snz 2. We appreciate this DAO
and community for all the opportunities it has entrusted to us thus far. We love
the concept of Propdates and, should we be engaged to continue with our
important work via an upcoming proposal, we will commit to posting onchain
updates like this one at least every 60 days.

Long Live Nouns! ⌐◨-◨

As part of the Propdates 2.0 prop, we allocated 5 ETH to give to the first 100
props to be updated, as additional incentives. Doing some math now, we already
would be allocating half of that to people who have posted already, which feels
wrong. As folks like Yitong have pointed out, maybe something more social /
Nouns-native would make more sense instead.

If we used the budget to commission a Gardener-style NFT for Updaters, would
people be okay with that? Might be split up by month or something like that.
We'd return the rest of the unused funds.

Prop currently stands at 102 votes for and 11 against with a few hours left so
it looks like the prop will be passing. Thank you everyone for the vote of
confidence to run this experiment.

I'd like to address some concerns / feedback provided in the vwrs:

* Ideally, new nouners would be able to select their own Nouns from the
treasury but we don't yet have that tooling. If the experiment is successful,
it would make sense to double down on this direction. For now, the tools
available are more than enough to get started.
* Guaranteeing that a new nouner doesn't immediately sell their Noun or go
absent is not possible but it is true that their reputation is on the line as
these rounds aim to drive a lot of attention. Similar to the point above, if
the experiment is successful, we could explore new tooling as a way to make
sure the new nouners get a good feel for playing Nouns by using requiring
some criteria for getting full ownership of the Noun.
* The metrics I will follow to determine success or failure will be vwrs + new
props by new Nouners.
* This is not a way to retroactively reward people for past contributions. This
is an attempt to grow the network.

gm and happy halloween !

onnnnnnnnnion (I never know how many n's there are) and I just met to discuss
our first steps for Propdates 2.0. The first step is to migrate the contracts to
be upgradable, enabling faster future contract-level improvements. We'll also be
adding a "Super Admin", which will be an address controlled by a multi-sig that
can transfer admin privileges in case a proposer is having a hard time (or
simply can't) transfer the role to a wallet that can regularly post updates. For
example if the initial proposer is no longer active in Nouns, or is controlled
by a wallet that is no longer accessible, this will allow Proposals to be
recoverable.

On the front-end side, I'll be working on creating a better markdown editor in
the app, as well as various UX improvements! See you in the next propdate!

We aligned on three adjustments to the script:

1. Ensuring that Nouns plays an important supportive role in the story. (This
was always the plan, but was not clear enough in the script draft)
2. Reframing the Protocol Guild from Heroes to Stewards, which feels more in
line with their lived experience.
3. Ensuring that we tell a story that could work as a celebration of EIP-4844,
should the timings align, but also one that stands on its own should the
timing not work.

As for next steps, we'll be reviewing the contract, signing, and releasing the

UPDATE – OCTOBER 24, 2023

Hi hi! The NOUNS–HALO KEYCHAIN circuit board is now in production!

x700 units are in the process of being manufactured – we're just rounding the
final components from suppliers and I will receive the first 5 samples in
approximately 20-25 days. Once I've cleared the samples, then the remaining
units should be all made within 2 weeks!

A little refresher in re to the quantity:

* 600 units will be distributed:
* 500 available for purchase
* 50 supplied to the DAO
* 50 for gifting, raffles, etc. – marketing purposes
* an extra 100 units are manufactured for quality check and any additional
quantities that pass it will be available for purchase

ENCLOSURE

The enclosure is nearly complete, I'm waiting for the battery samples to arrive
in order to make sure it all fits in. In the meantime, I'm testing the material
and options for the clear resin and its opacity levels.

I've also sourced manufacturers to produce the enclosures using injection
moulding so that will be all ready to go soon!

FIRMWARE

The code has been finalized and tested, everything is working perfectly! I've
uploaded it on github in the meantime, but it will be available on the website
once it has launched. https://github.com/tigrisli/nouns-halo

PACKAGING

TUNA CANS! TUNA CANS!

I'm waiting to receive the samples this week to verify the dimensions and
experiment with the packaging, colours, etc. so I'll put up an update on this
soon!

I think that's all for now – if you need to reach me for questions, comments,
etc. Feel free to give me a shout!

🔥 The Burn: audit funding
el4d.eth
Copied link!
October 23, 2023
Connect your wallet to like!

TLDR: we're exploring additional protocol changes to better curb auction arb.

The burn code has recently been reviewed by soli, and the fixes won't take long.
However, that's not our main focus these days.

The burn works in cycles that provide predictability, e.g. we can decide to burn
every 100 Nouns. At the same time roughly 30 Nouns are required to initiate a
fork given current adjusted supply and fork threshold. Assuming such parameters,
arbers can safely perform up to 3 rounds of forking without being impacted by
the burn. And after a burn occurs, they can continue to do so until the next
burn and so on.

A naive reaction to this problem is to configure fork threshold and burn cycle
such that we burn before there's a fork, e.g. raise fork threshold to require
just over 60 Nouns, and set the burn cycle at 60 Nouns, and there you have it.

While this is certainly a possibility, there is a natural tension:

* We want to keep for threshold low, for multiple reasons such as wanting the
fork to truly serve minority protection
* We want the burn cycle to be longer, to give the community sufficient time to
coordinate funding

We are therefore exploring other designs, such as:

* Requiring a minimum age for a Noun to be allowed to escrow towards a fork
* Initiating a burn before any fork

Since such ideas have the potential to impact the burn design, we think it best
to reach a decision before declaring the burn code to be final and submitting it
for an audit. It might also be best to expand the audit scope to include
whichever idea we land on, as they seem highly entangled, working together with
the burn to achieve the arb mitigation we're aiming for.

Important to restate: we want to significantly curb arb such that auctions are
once again onboarding new long term Nouns players.

What's next:

* We will publish a blog post detailing our thinking, and share it with the
community.
* We will ask for feedback and help making a decision.
* We will then share an updated scope and timeline.

Thanks to everyone contributing to these conversations!

For more than a year I've managed #NounsAI & $500k+

I'm proud to say we are open sourcing both:
Roko: A GPT-backed community management tool
&
NounsAI: An AI hub for content creation, pictures, videos, audio oh my!

Some announcements + reflections working for Nouns but first a video showcasing
the work!

https://youtu.be/v0UUTWSJ4eQ

Thanks to @JackWyldes, @ByHardy, @toady_hawk, & @thenounsquare
for making it + hosting our bi/weekly meetings throughout this journey

Roko?

Roko is:
• A Discord Bot that records all messages & notes any question. If previously
answered, Roko makes a thread & shares. Otherwise notes
• One of the first GPT powered Knowledge Graph creators; turning proposals into
a brain
• A tool to take conversations from discord & the context from those proposals
to automatically create an auto-updating wiki that can store decisions, updates,
questions, & more for any proposal automatically

This was an ambitious goal and I’m so proud of what we built, I think it’s a
GREAT tool with a lot of potential that’s groundbreaking in many ways BUT I
failed to spend enough time talking to our customers, nouners.

If I had, I would have realized that it was more important to build a tool that
spread that info all over the place instead of storing it in one. This was one
of my biggest mistakes. That’s one thing I think many misunderstand about
@nounsdao, not only do you need to be building something cool; you need to
already have the audience to make sure enough people care that others buy in.
You can find the code here: https://github.com/nounsai/data-pipeline A big
shoutout to @stevefink who did a lot of the heavy lifting here.

NounsAI?

NounsAI.wtf is:

• An AI powered picture, video, and audio creation tool
• For pictures uses custom diffusion model to create high fidelity Nounish art
and to make it a breeze to edit + restyle
• Our audio-hub is a unique node-based interface creators love, it turns words
to grooves and makes it easy to break down a song into individual tracks, drums,
strings,
• Video ties it all together, letting you take an audio track, arrange images
like a slideshow on the timeline, and then let AI fill in the gaps creating a
trippy audio-visual experience

It’s been incredible seeing the community empowered with this tool. We’ve had
hundreds of users pretty much every week since January with some content getting
hundreds of thousands of views. We minimized the requirements needed to run all
the code so I hope people get something out of it.

You can still use it through the rest of the year at http://nounsai.wtf, make
sure you select the 'SDXL-no-wrong' model in the drop down to get the best image
performance

@honkdiddly has been driving this one for pretty much a year as well and
packaged it all up here https://github.com/nounsai/nouns-ai-sd-server

Some thoughts on @nounsdao from a contributor POV:

• Onboarding required guidance, without awesome people like @punk4156 @noun22_
@anquetil and more I would never have been able to learn enough about Nouns to
put together a proposal and lobby for votes. If there were incentives for more
nouners with conviction on what should be built to go look talent it would be
positive because…
• You need to CARE about SOMETHING. Someone helping you embark on a fun and well
compensated learning journey makes you care. People showing up to meetings and
asking questions makes you care. Bringing in investment, making a good
investment, and seeing a friend you made in this community do something awesome
all also make you care. But…
• It is HARD to maintain attention and it can get lonely. Often the people the
hardest to reach are the ones you most want to talk to. There’s so many things
going on, attention drifts, and once lost, is hard to get back. It’d be great if
there was a periodic review with nouners (monthly?) baked into longer projects
to keep everyone aligned and excited. Maybe add some stakes to it where if it’s
going well a month can be added on to the remaining few or one taken away
recouping investment.

Ultimately, it was an awesome experience. That’s why we’ve been working through
our contract date of July and will keep #NounsAI up through the end of the year.
It’s also been tough and even though I’m proud of what we accomplished I can’t
help but feel like we failed in part. Maybe it’s all part of the experiment. One
that I’m grateful to have been a part of. I hope to forever be nounish, happy to
advise, share thoughts, and invest in something bigger than myself.

ADDRESSING THE FEEDBACK

During this proposal's voting period, we received valuable feedback that we
should be focused on finding our own "product-market fit" (PMF). Meaning that we
should find the right audience to focus on and create content that resonates
with this audience as well as solve for distribution, while proliferating Nouns
in a meanginful way.

We took this feedback to heart and shifted our strategy. We decided to focus on
developing content that will grow and resonate with a large audience other than
the existing Nouns core fans.

This means we dropped the idea of developing a nounish CC0 library, running our
own Prop House rounds, or continuing to tell stories of Nouns Proposals (except
for Nouns Esports). Instead focussed on testing different audiences and content
types in a series of pilots.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PILOTING

PILOTING: POTENTIAL NOUNERS

The first audience we chose to test was Potential Nouners. We reached out to as
many Noun owners as we could and surveyed them to try to understand what made
them tick and what attracted them to the DAO.

You can read the results here.

We tested reaching Potential Nouners by creating content for Ethereum & DAO
enthusiasts. We piloted 4 different ideas:

* Nouns DAO: The Game
* Let’s Play Nouns DAO: Gov Pools
* Fun Fork Explainer
* Serious Fork Explainer

These resonated very well and got a lot of engagement. Especially The Game,
which got relatively a lot of views and shares on Twitter. It has even been
cited as being directly responsible for bringing new people into the Nouns
ecosystem.

Even though the content was loved, we didn't think that it had strong enough PMF
–it didnt seem to reach and engage a lot of new people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOUNS ESPORTS

We took a break from piloting and produced a video about Nouns Esports. We knew
that there is a real need for a Nouns Esports explainer. An evergreen piece for
one of Nouns' strongest communities to facilitate their onboarding of new
members and to help explain to the esports world what Nouns is all about.

The video was very well received and got ~200K views overall on Twitter and has
another ~130K views on Reddit, and is being used on the Nouns Esports website as
their main onboarding tool.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PILOTING: FANS

After publishing the Nouns Esports video, we went back to trying to find PMF.

This time we focused on an audience we call "Fans". Which is a broad definition
for people who could fall in love with Nouns.

Here, we attempted to create content that generally would work well on social
media, and that it could be used as a gateway to Nouns.

We tested original content that we created, trying to embody what we consider to
be nounish:

* Noun Cosplay
* Gnars Fingerboarding
* Fingerboarding BTS #1
* Fingerboarding BTS #2
* Unboxing Things In The Style of The Thing We're Unboxing
* The Untold Story of the cups from Jurassic Park
* Behind The Scenes on "Jurassic Cups"
* Make todays Noun out of Post-it Notes
* 3 Artists

* Artist #1: How They Made It

* Artist #2: How They Made It

* Artist #3: How They Made It

We posted all of these videos on Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok and one
format showed signs of traction - "Three Artists".

We also noticed that the type of people engaging with this content and following
us are very specific: they are all artists, designers, and other creative types.
It was the most defined audience we'd ever seen engage with our content (outside
of the existing Nouns community)

The strong engagement with the content and the consistency of the audience were
indications that we have found PMF.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THREE ARTISTS

So we doubled down on the show and have since released 8 episodes with more on
the way.

The show quickly became popular on Instagram, with the top episode receiving
over 1 million organic views. We have released eight episodes so far, which have
received over 2 million views and brought us over 70,000 new followers.

Other signs of PMF include a very high engagement rate: our top episode got
140,000 likes (a 14% like/view ratio), and every episode receives hundreds of
comments, saves, and shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OUR AUDIENCE

The audience that the show is attracting is consistently identifiable as what we
call “The Creatives.” Our followers are designers, artists, creative directors,
filmmakers, animators, illustrators, and so on. We also have attracted some well
known brands in the creative sector, including Wacom and Artlist.

We see this as a chance to build a community outside the crypto bubble that is a
perfect fit for Nouns, a group of talented and inspired creative people.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MORE THAN GROWTH: A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR AUDIENCE

By turning the camera back on ourselves we are making ourselves a tangible
representation of the Nounish values they can relate to – joyous, welcoming,
playful, creative, and collaborative.

As we share our inspiring culture (one completely in line with Nouns’ own
values) our audience will grow to love the show and the people on it. And in the
long term, as the connection between us and our audience deepens, we give
ourselves the best chance to galvanise them to engage with Nouns in a more
meaningful way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MORE: OUR OG CONTENT LIVES ON

Since our last proposal we also released our Mucho Love video, the last of
Season 1.

Alot of our content continues to live on and get new life periodically,
including our nounish Rainbow Wallet video. Rainbow themselves and many others
(including Alexis Ohanian) posting and reposted it on Twitter.

Dustin Yellin shared & reshared our very first video again

And our long form explainer continues to be the go-to for people to dive deeper
on the concept of Nouns, as well as how to get funded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEXT STEPS

We're hyped about the future opportunity of building a nounish brand accross
Instagram and YouTube based on the success of "Three Artists". We have other
content in development, but in the short term our focus is to scale our channels
by refining and iterating on this core concept.

Check out our new proposal here.

UPDATE – OCTOBER 12, 2023

Helloooo! Here's an update on the NOUNS–HALO KEYCHAIN !

I'm happy to say that we'll be reaching the end of this project soon in the next
few weeks – with the circuit board now complete, everything else will be moving
very quickly!

There were a few hiccups with the hardware which resulted in an extra 2
iterations being made, but the good news is that in those iterations – I was
able to upgrade the hardware whilst keeping the costs low / relatively the same.

For those who are curious, rather than using an ATTINY85 which requires a little
bit of a setup in order to program it, I've swapped it for Seeedstudio's XIAO
MCU which is a simple plug and code - making it a whole lot easier for tinkerers
to upload their own code. All testing of the components, code, charging,
switches, etc. have passed through with flying colours!

Also to note that the NOUNS–HALO KEYCHAIN will already come pre-programmed with
the animated lights as per the demo in prop.

The 600 circuit boards are just days away from being produced with a lead time
of approximately 30 days (as the manufacturers are currently sourcing all the
components).

The enclosure is not far off from being complete, I'm finalizing the material
and will be sharing images of the prototype with a new update here / on twitter
/ warpcast.

The website is going to be hosted on nouns.engineering/ – the design is pretty
much wrapped up and once I've gotten the product / campaigns shots up, it'll be
ready to go live!

Finally, we have the fish can packaging. The design is in progress, and I would
like to ask if exploring the option of substituting the sardine cans for round
tuna cans would be possible? In terms of sealing it in this first run of 600
units - it seems to facilitate the speed of production and assembly with a lot
of the manufacturers I have liased with.

If you need to reach me for questions, comments, etc. Gimme a shout!

In other news – the Nouns toothpaste toppers I created in collaboration with
Aquafresh are both nearly at half a million views on TikTok! Thought it'd be
nice to share :)

NOGGLESJACKTOKYO EVENT（PROPOSAL 228)

* Event Date: May 21/21/2023
* Organizer: hiro.⌐◨-◨

CONTENT:

pNouns DAOstarted as a subDAO capable of proposing to Nouns. After successfully
winning the bids for Nouns #553 and #556 in December 2022, the first proposal
"NogglesJackTokyo" was realized.
The event took place on May 20th and 21th, 2023, at the 57th Design Festa at
Tokyo Big Sight. Numerous participants and volunteers collaborated to ensure its
success.
Main exhibits included prototypes of pNounsNoggles, paper Noggles, a costume of
Noun553, and Noggles-shaped benches. Distributed items comprised stickers,
posters, Noggles keyholders, wall monuments, original T-shirts, and other
merchandise.
For pre-event PR, both Twitter and the smartphone app NogglesJackTokyo were
utilized.
The primary objective of the event was a commemorative photo session with
Noggles. 200 Polaroid films and smartphones were used, and all were gifted to
the attendees. Over 500 paper Noggles were distributed, and many attendees at
the Design Festa booth wore noticeable Noggles, bringing smiles to many faces.

CONCLUSION:

After 3 months of preparation, the 2-day event concluded successfully. We extend
our gratitude to NounsDAO for covering the costs of the event participation fee,
interior decorations, and the production of original merchandise.

Mogu - a nounish explorer

Copied link!
October 9, 2023
Connect your wallet to like!

I'm very excited to officially wrap up my work on Mogu, and I thought I'd
reflect on it a bit and share what I did during the three months. I've been
contributing to Nouns for a year but this proposal was the most important to my
personal journey.

I built a lot of Mogu before submitting the proposal, but candidly I struggled
to get momentum again after it passed. I really thought I could turn Mogu into a
legitimate Etherscan competitor and considered getting more funding to grow it.
I spent time on things like adding non-Nouns transactions to Mogu, and
considered running my own node to get all Ethereum data more easily (this was my
first time going deep on this topic). It was a real "I don't know what I don't
know" moment.

I eventually realized that the most niche parts of Mogu, particularly the Board,
got the most usage. It was an important realization - all the extra stuff I
thought the crypto masses wanted and could make a cool product (a better block
explorer), was quite different from what this small group of passionate people
actually needed. So I continued working on improving the board and actually
spent some time reducing features and improving the architecture of my data
which was a huge mess. I hadn't gone this deep on any project before, so I found
myself learning a lot, and having to rewrite a lot of code.

In early September, I fell more in love with the process of coding. I came
across Krel's requests.wtf, which lead me to Wilson's Propdates contract -- I
felt like I'd struck gold! I was able to set up my first subgraph with Goldsky
surprisingly fast, and build a front-end that allowed people to claim admin
roles and post updates. Rapidly, I was able to synthesize months of learning
from Mogu and other projects into a much more polished v0. This was super
exciting for me, and pushed me to keep trying new things with it.

For the month of September, I largely focused on one-off pages for Mogu
(mentioned in a previous propdate) which got good traction, but tapered off.
Then I worked more and more on Propdates, which felt like it added more value to
the DAO than any marginal improvements to Mogu.

As Propdates got more traction, it became clear to me that there's something
special about it as a new Nouns primitive. While there may be a need for a
version of Mogu in the future, I don't plan to add new features to it
immediately.

To wrap up, a few related and unrelated things I learned from Mogu:

* It's hard to build a sticky read-only site: Etherscan is really the
exception, not the rule. If someone is coming to your site to accomplish
something very specific, it's much easier to get them engaged (i.e. playing
around with the Board or posting on Propdates)
* Iteration is tough: after I built the first version, it was tough to slowly
improve the product and get feedback from just a small handful of people.
Even features I had previously planned intuitively felt like they wouldn't
quite move the needle, and working independently, it was a bit demoralizing.
* Nouns is still small but passionate: even on its biggest days, Mogu only got
a few hundred visitors, largely from Twitter posts. The ceiling of DAUs/WAUs
is hard in this crypto landscape, compared to the latest AI apps making
hundreds of thousands of dollars a week. But, passion and product stickiness
will be much higher for the right apps.

But most importantly, I learned that I want to keep building things for the DAO.
I want to keep learning, coding, trying new things, and having fun. Just as I
thought I might burn out, the infinite game of Nouns has pulled me in yet again
:-)

The beginning of an epic adventure,
A seed of hope on Ethereum's pastures.
The first proposal, a testament true,
Of Nouns DAO's aim, and the good it could pursue.

With open hearts, the community convened,
Towards a noble cause, their vision leaned.
Five ETH to each charity, the proposal did state,
A step towards a world, compassionate and great.

Coral Restoration, Freedom of the Press,
Internet Archive, a digital redress.
Rainforest Foundation, the green lungs’ ally,
Tor Project, where free ideas fly.

GiveCrypto received with open embrace,
A generous act, of the Noun's grace.
The seeds sown then, have blossomed wide,
A journey of giving, with Nouns DAO as the guide.

Today we mark, with hearts replete,
The completion of a mission, a feat so sweet.
The update resonates in the blockchain’s vast sea,
A ripple of our collective legacy.

So here’s to the Nouns, with vision so bright,
And the first proposal’s enduring light.
May our endeavours forever entwine,
In the ledger of time, eternally divine.

Let us celebrate this moment in time,
A chapter closed, a hill climbed.
With hearts full and spirits high,
Towards the future, together we fly.

MUCHO LOVE UPDATES

Hello everyone, it's been an interesting 2 months since the prop passed. I am
here to share updates on the course and modus operandi Mucho Love is adapting.

SOME REFLECTIONS:

* Mucho Love thrives on an open-collaborative format, outlining all activities
of the year at once only mirrors the thoughts & hopes the team had at that
juncture.
* At its core, Mucho Love is an event & marketing platform. While we host
events surrounding public goods and social impact, our forte is motivating
people to act and showcasing our brilliant ideas.
* Mucho Love isn’t tailored for recurring content; it flourishes as a
project-centric platform.
* Virality is replicable. The instances where we've invested time in sparking
virality, it worked perfectly. Our virality stems from CTAs (Call-to-Action)
type posts. The caveat is, it can lead to audience fatigue if churned out too
frequently.

THE JOURNEY OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS:

Post-proposal, we’ve reached out to various businesses and brands to lay the
foundation for Mucho Love's self-sustainability by mid-2024. The feedback has
been encouraging; brands find our approach refreshing and distinct. The only
hiccup so far has been the time it takes for brands to hop on board and approve
budgets. This exact reason has steered our self-sustainability aim towards the
specified timeline.

RECENT MILESTONE:

* We've made our first event, where 300 orphans were given a white tshirt to
create their own masterpieces. This endeavor was conceived to embody the
equation success = talent + opportunity. What if we could multiply
opportunities to unearth hidden talents? Perhaps the finest painter never had
the chance to hold a brush, the most adept cinematographer never got hold of
a camera, and the born actor never found a stage. This is the vacuum created
by a dearth of opportunity. That drove us to deliver these chances to these
kids, with Nouns as the conduit.
* Our collaboration was with Stained, a brand rooted in DR/MIA
(https://www.instagram.com/stainedconcept/), and CCC an art-materials
retailer (https://www.instagram.com/papeleriaccc/).
* We're in the works of unveiling a collection inspired by the children's
artworks. Over the upcoming 10 days or so, I’ll be sharing snippets &
visuals from this heartfelt activity.
* The collection will raise funds for the Orphanage and its members in
order to further support it.

* We've established a collaboration with doctors from Harvard to carry out our
Medical Mission event in Matagorda, Bani, DR. We have successfully partnered
with one of them to shape this initiative into a
sustainable-volunteer-healthcare approach. The ongoing plan is to continue
providing medical support to this community, while also studying the impact
of our medical missions on their collective health. This endeavor could
potentially evolve into its own substantial vertical, given its sustainable
and holistic approach to healthcare, creating a pathway to scale and propel
it further.

* For this activity, we successfully reached out to the Health Manager in
Bani, and arranged to carry out the event at Matagorda's Primary Care
Center.
* The manager also signaled that if we produced good results, he would like
us to scale to other communities in the DR.
* We secured sponsorship from pharmacies to provide treatments for the
community members, and we're executing this initiative over a three-day
span. The event is set to take place from the 27th to the 29th of October.

* We've connected with the largest delivery app in Latin America, PedidosYa
(https://www.instagram.com/pedidosya.do/?hl=es), to bring to life a project
close to our hearts. We aim to roll this out by the end of November, and the
conversations are already underway. The idea is to simplify and enable a free
pathway for people to donate clothing in good condition that they no longer
wear, making it possible to extend these items to those in need across the
country. Various studies highlight that around 80% of our wardrobe seldom
sees the light of day.

* Teaming up with PedidosYa is part of our strategy to magnify the impact of
this initiative. To boost its visibility further, we're also collaborating
with a rising content creator and influencer, Jessica Judith
(https://www.instagram.com/jess.judith/?hl=es), who boasts a highly engaged
audience. This partnership aims to maximize exposure for this event,
amplifying the reach and, in turn, the potential donations.

THE INDICATORS SO FAR:

* Mucho Love resonates as an event platform. An event platform with a notable
hook. ⌐◨-◨ as the emblem of everything we undertake, and a significant % of
profits being channeled to charity with every endeavor. This constructs a
unique, self-perpetuating cycle.

* Once an event concludes, profits are allocated to organizations we wish to
collaborate with, thereby the funds are utilized WITH Mucho Love, enabling
us to orchestrate unprecedented events in the DR while continuing with the
kind of social impact initiatives we’ve always pursued in tandem with other
organizations.

* The two leading event businesses in the DR have extended an invitation for
partnership to facilitate any scale of mass event. A spectrum of 500-5000
attendees is within our scope, and fortuitously one of my business-partners
has an extensive network concerning all requisites for events.

* This is a novel approach with Nouns. We hold a belief that a impactful
approach to culture creation and dissemination lies in these events.
* Visualize attending a Music Festival where all beloved local artists are
performing, top-notch restaurants are catering, and a whopping 50% of
everything you spend is directed towards charity.
* It's a proposition filled with value. We aim to feature a digital board
displaying the live count of funds raised for charity during the event,
with the culmination of the event marking the presentation and distribution
of these funds to our selected charities.

I have immense confidence in this avenue with Mucho Love. Is it a deviation from
what it was? Sort of. Is it an improvement? It's subjective. However, this is
the iteration of Mucho Love that excites me and my team the most and it is HOW I
WISH to unveil to the world the authentic potential of the ⌐◨-◨.

Even though Proposal 323 was defeated, we've continued to build the Public Good
brand and expand our beer production globally. Since then, the beer has been
produced in Portugal and is set to launch at a Polygon event in Lisbon. We've
received 76 reviews on UNTAPPD, a popular beer review platform, with an average
rating of 3.94 out of 5 stars. We've also participated in the Gnarsversary
celebration in Rio, launched our module in the Voidge Metaverse, and were
featured in the Nounishpunk game. Now we're back onchain (Proposal 378) and
incredibly excited to take the beer global, further develop the Public Good
brand, and grow our community! If you're interested in expanding the brand, you
can freely download and use all resources, including the label, beer recipe, and
media materials, at publicgood.wtf.

Reposting the update submitted to prop #105 below. Updates re: the Prop House
protocol will be continued on this prop (#183)

What started 13 months ago is on the final stretch. We received the final audit
report three weeks ago and are squarely focused on the final step: revamping the
frontend so that it uses the protocol. We're expect to be done by the end of
October.

This was a fun proposal to work on and I had the pleasure of implementing a
contract written by 9999 after finding a limitation within the setup of the
transaction.

The result was a new contract that can be used to set allowances via proposal on
the nounsvision NFTs held by the treasury. Approved external wallets can then
send them direct from the treasury (within their allowance), either to other
recipients or to their own wallets.

The 150 requested were distributed to the 3 communities/teams mentioned in the
proposal (Esports, Gnars and The Noun Square), where they are still being
utilised and/or carefully distributed in multiple ways.

I tried something a little different last week. I created three pages on Mogu to
display information for one-off purposes:

* Catalog - a nice visualization of the Nouns returned to the DAO treasury
during the fork
* Fork Tracker - tracking the fork as it happened. This attracted several
hundreds of views and got linked in Metaversal
* Zero Votes - displaying feedback and votes given with 0 Nouns, highlighting
thoughtful community members worthy of delegation

Another small improvement - transaction descriptions now link directly to
relevant props and nouns!

I'm open to any feature requests around Mogu as we approach the deadline! Next
week, I'm hoping to improve filtering and tabs. Then I'll work on various
quality of life improvements. As the Nouns conversation and "meta" evolves, I'd
like Mogu to evolve with it.

Originally published Jul 10, 2023
High-level things that are happening at the moment:

* yuwil continues to ideate through the draft of the episode internally
and we are looking at finishing it up by end of the month. We will be
sharing a more rough draft of this fairly soon. The gist in essence
expands into more neighborhoods as we see Gi getting introduced to
new acquaintances and friends!

* We meet overall weekly on the story discussions while the production
team continues to meet more often. We are currently in the process of
concept art creation for some of the core new characters for the
episode. We will be sharing more on the new Characters concept art in
the coming weeks.

* We are waiting on the casting call process to conclude in a few weeks
time where will be recruiting new citizens into the mix (these are
minor roles which will be created on unique renditions of selected
characters)

* With casting call we intend to expand the Blus universe and bring
more nounish sub-communities and communities into the fold.
