sendOrRegisterDebt(address,uint256)# Bring a million shredders onchain (revised) ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeic7eqjinmflf6xdlcmczpihjt45us53x5hlpdnrjh55l32fn3ixke) 📝 *This is a [Proposal 363](https://nouns.wtf/vote/363) revision, addressing feedback received.* **[Gnars](https://gnars.wtf)** proposes a strategic initiative to empower action sportspeople through communal funding, collective creation, and shared proceeds. The experience and knowledge gained over 16 months of operation has prepared us to further leverage the hypercycle generated by our Goodwill, Network, Advocacy, Releases, and Serendipity. Let's integrate Nouns into our subcultures, and bring a million shredders onchain! 📝 *Skateboarding remains our primary illustrative example. Our commitment spans all subcultures we're part of and the term "shredder" describes anyone contributing to them.* ## 📌 TLDR ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeihfnygx5opj7lq5o4yv4eyo3yuqlqerbppilwc3rzdynfmo2ayrdu) **Requesting 300,000 USDC** - A treasury for continuous public terrain park enhancements - Fund Shredders that represent gnars as community leaders and ambassadors - Operational funds for rewarding our most notable contributors - Intuitive onboarding with commemorative QR/NFC plaques - Enhance Nouns' outreach with subculture expertise *ie. Funding the revitalisation of public spaces for shredders of all disciplines to express themselves freely while proliferating Nouns ⌐◨-◨* ## 🛹 Background/Problem Statement ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeiam6uer545pvjsbzbtnw5uy77mr3t3wus7iazve42yv4h7ezvsjeu) 📝 *Cult classic > Corporate cringe. Movements > Marketing.* Skateboarding and similar subcultures, despite their rise in popularity, grapple with commercial overreach and value retention. Some of the most pressing challenges include: 1. **Commercial Exploitation**: Outside brands jumping into skateboarding often prioritise profit over authenticity. 2. **Loss of Authenticity**: Many skaters, due to financial pressures, might promote brands they don't genuinely align with. 3. **Skater Exploitation**: Many skaters, despite their talent, don't receive fair compensation, especially considering the sport's physical demands. 4. **Mainstream Misrepresentation**: Media portrayals frequently miss the genuine essence of skateboarding, leaning into stereotypes. 5. **Skatepark Commercialisation**: Once-communal skateparks are becoming increasingly commercialised. 6. **Core Values vs. Growth**: Balancing foundational skateboarding values with growth opportunities remains a delicate act. The skateboarding domain needs a thoughtful equilibrium. Brands that genuinely get and respect the skate culture have the potential to collaboratively benefit both parties without diluting the sport's spirit. ## 💡 Proposed Solution ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafkreiflj5bgctvmzjujul3kvehilbgrzcag7zhomomfdtrtbit4sptjym) 📝 *Check out the [Meier Skatepark renovation](https://www.gnars.wtf/dao/proposals/3) proposal that's currently being delivered* **GNARS** as an acronym crystallises our ethos, mirroring the Nouns' virtuous cycle, acting as our serendipity engine: - **Goodwill**: Renewing skateparks and introducing new, shred-worthy sculptures - **Network**: Culturally sensitive contributions earn us both visibility and respect - **Advocacy**: Harmonising with communities helps us draw in new enthusiasts - **Releases**: Collective creative outputs with shared proceeds bolster funding - **Serendipity**: Getting onchain empowers shredders, opening fresh avenues Empowering individuals to step into the blockchain world is central to our mission. Shredders, akin to artists, can undergo transformative experiences through this. Our overarching goal is to amplify our influence, simplify operational processes, and champion those with genuine grassroots credibility. ## 🌟 Opportunity ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafkreihhjrjim3rtjd6k2drh6r5gpy5i7xfp22gjcuouujecd2p4arkxhq) 📝 *We're not just another brand. We're a movement. Head-less so you can shred more!* The Nouns ecosystem, with its unique blend of art, technology, and community, offers a fertile ground for genuine subcultural integration. Our approach is not about plastering logos everywhere but about creating genuine value and experiences. 1. **Skatepark Enhancements**: We're not just slapping stickers. We're improving DIY spots and skateparks, making them better for everyone. 2. **Nouns-Themed Sculptures**: Introducing Nouns-themed obstacles and sculptures in skateparks worldwide. 3. **QR/NFC Plaques**: Simplifying onboarding with intuitive QR/NFC plaques at skateparks. 4. **Subculture Expertise**: Leveraging our deep-rooted expertise to enhance Nouns' outreach in various subcultures, such as skating, rollerblading, surfing, bodyboarding, flying and other extreme sports. 5. **Grassroots approach**: Empowering Gnars Shredders to engage their local community and organise meetups, beach cleanups and other forms of experiences that cause positive impact on their daily lives. Our target of onboarding a million shredders might seem lofty, but it’s just a fraction - 0.2% - of the 490 million participants in extreme sports. To provide some perspective, skateboarding alone boasts 85 million participants. Industries like adventure tourism further validate our optimistic projections, given their sustained growth trajectories. ## 📊 Budget Breakdown Per the TLDR, our ask is **300,000 USDC** to our treasury (DAO executor) at `gnars.eth`. We aim to replicate our success across multiple locations that arise through grassroots discovery and Prop House infinite rounds funding. Based on previous project expenses, we estimate 24 additional projects is an achievable outcome over the next 12 months, especially when focused on emerging markets where every gwei goes such a long way: - **Continuous park enhancements - 240,000 USDC** - Skatepark refurbishments: 140,000 USDC - Nouns-themed sculptures: 50,000 USDC - Supporting Ambassadors/Shredders: 30,000 USDC - QR/NFC plaques for onboarding: 10,000 USDC - Miscellaneous & unforeseen expenses: 10,000 USDC - **Administration of funded projects - 60,000 USDC** - Coordinate community-driven outreach and promo - Discord moderation and general administrative tasks - Onboarding support for grant recipients and builders - Curation and support for new That's Gnarly creators - **Onchain (gas) and other expenses - Self-funded** - Codebase maintenance, improvements and bug squashing - Implement auction settlement leaderboard to reward settlooors - Provide regular "[Propdates](https://propdates-app.vercel.app/)" to keep Nouns updated onchain - Releasing collective productions atop zora protocol rewards - Deploy open source portfolio at gnars.com ([GitHub Pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/github-pages/)) 📝 *Through onchain governance, we will allocate funds as earmarked. Finer details are laid out later in this proposal. If you've any questions, please don't hesitate to [join our Discord](https://discord.gg/gnars) for a discussion. We are here to help!* ## 🗳️ Funds Allocation & Voting The funds will arrive at `gnars.eth` which is our onchain treasury and DAO executor contract. It functions exactly as the Nouns DAO treasury does. Decisions are made through the usual voting process by [Gnars holders](https://etherscan.io/token/0x558BFFF0D583416f7C4e380625c7865821b8E95C#balances). ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeifw3mcxausdmec7lkjd7dnpcwj6dxsfremcdweuil5nqr2oidixau) At present, there are 3980 Gnars in circulation across 696 holders. We'd like to bring attention to the 8 largest holders as shown in the above screenshot, as they're very influential within the DAO, and have our best interests at heart: 1. **[Non-voting](https://app.safe.global/settings/setup?safe=eth:0x0658f4eD17289144717713ADfFC2539eF7c2EF8e):** Instead of a founders' reward, 10% of Gnars are directed to the `shred.gnars.eth (0x06...EF8e)` multisig for onboarding shredders who are new to web3 and wish to participate in governance. Gami, who initiated the Gnars project, is instead rewarded in ETH as chosen by each bidder when placing bids in our auctions, using the bid slider. By default it's set at 90% treasury (`gnars.eth`) and 10% founder (`gami.eth`). 2. **[Gami](https://twitter.com/0xigami):** Hyperactive Nouns contributor, founder of Gnars, [Art Haus](https://art.haus), [Omega](https://omega.build), and author of [The Hypercommons](https://hypercommons.wtf/): A Manifesto for a Positive-Sum World. Visit his personal website at [gami.wtf](https://gami.wtf) for more information. 3. **[Ric Burton](https://twitter.com/ricburton):** Early contributor to the Ethereum ecosystem and talented kitesurfer/kiteboarder. Has shown huge support to Gnars and has even been known to offer Gnars holders access to his beachfront property. 4. **[Benbodhi](https://twitter.com/benbodhi):** Perhaps the first person to arrive in the Gnars discord server and cofounder of [Alps DAO](https://alps.wtf). Showing early support as a collector, he's been an avid community moderator and wearer of many hats. Nounish AF. 5. **[Satori:](https://twitter.com/0xsatori)** Also an early collector and contributor across all facets of the project. He has since become a valuable asset within various Nouns related teams and is the author of our [Gnarly News](https://gnarly.news) newsletter. 6. **[Geffenz:](https://twitter.com/geffenz)** One of the most active auction participants, known more recently for the creation of [Gnarsauce](https://thatsgnar.ly/shop/gnarssauce), settling more auctions than any other, and for creating our "Be Kind & Settle" meme that led to [settle.wtf](https://settle.wtf) being deployed. 7. **[DjjD:](https://twitter.com/TheDjjDAbides)** long time collector of Gnars having spent many hours in our Auctions discord channel along with Geffenz and other settlooors. He's a curator for [Redlion](https://twitter.com/redlion) and has been supporting us since our humble beginnings. 8. **[Blockbird](https://twitter.com/_blockbird):** prominent [Art Blocks collector](https://gallery.so/blockbird), photographer and world traveller, who 50/50 owns Noun 189 with Gami and was also responsible for the inception of Gnars over coffee at a cafe in Sydney, January 2022. [The multisig](https://app.safe.global/settings/setup?safe=eth:0x0658f4eD17289144717713ADfFC2539eF7c2EF8e) mentioned at the top of this list at `shred.gnars.eth` was the original Gnars treasury, prior to our migration to a fully onchain nounish DAO in June this year. As well as receiving Gnars for shredder onboarding, it's used for proposal submissions such as this one, and the signers are as follows: - [Gami (0x38...fffd)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x387a161C6b25aA854100aBaED39274e51aaffffd) - [Benbodhi (0x80...87f6)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x80826180A2629206E3499B5167aaC8440E3F87f6) - [Blockbird (0x6B...4DDD)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x6B67623ff56c10d9dcFc2152425f90285fC74DDD) - [Davin (0xdf...d939)](https://etherscan.io/address/0xdfB6ed808fADddAd9154F5605E349fFF96E3d939) - [Vlad (0x41...be4A)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x41CB654D1F47913ACAB158a8199191D160DAbe4A) - [Oni (0x91...2937)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x91dCCAA260CC4616E1a6e6b693DB7207C5E42937) - [22 (agreed to be removed)](https://etherscan.io/address/0x75Ee6eb3d8DAcf41eE2e5307090B197D3E1Cca6E) Since no Gnars are distributed as founder rewards, all holders purchased all their Gnars themselves including Gami. who owns Noun 189, offering Gnars community the opportunity for delegation. ## 🧭 Approach and Strategy [![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeifkzcdwnvktxhmf47i67iel4gqyqtqc6jkhqc2xfxxqnfnmjr5dja)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3unXaYpMl8) 📝 *Watch this NounGnarversary celebration funded via Prop House [on YouTube ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3unXaYpMl8)* Our strategy is multi-pronged, ensuring we address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability: - **Skatepark Enhancement Projects** We've already showcased our impact: - Opstacle (noggle rail) installations such as [the original](https://snapshot.org/#/gnars.eth/proposal/0xb63306dbfe950dd9754d5edcf8f48c6ff9bdd32eeeff4c644cb90c974a3055fa) in [Praça XV, Rio de Janeiro](https://twitter.com/vladhzc/status/1660451083427143681) (Brazil), and others in [Nairobi](https://twitter.com/davinoyesigye/status/1688473570119131136) (Kenya), [Domingo de Guzmán](https://twitter.com/PagesAndres/status/1632145699256016900) (Dominican Republic), and [Chicago](https://twitter.com/webgnar/status/1703201471255187565) (United States) with more to come - Skatepark refurbishments such as [Skate Park Maracanã](https://snapshot.org/#/gnars.eth/proposal/0xb6f1781ada377924f11500e81735dd60170984c7976a1267027b3bd67fca93f1) (Rio de Janeiro), [Gigoia Island Skatepark](https://nouns.wtf/vote/142) (Rio de Janeiro) and [Meier Skatepark](https://www.gnars.wtf/dao/proposals/3) (Rio de Janeiro) are great examples of our contributions and collaborations - Nouniversary events in [Pereira](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/femboard-x-gnars) (Colombia), [Niterói](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/noun-gnar-versary) (Brazil), [São Paulo](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/uncharted-waves) (Brazil), [Nairobi](https://thatsgnar.ly/thatsgnarly/stories/noungnarversary-celebration-nairobi) (Kenya) demonstrate our commitment to Nouns - **Operational Funds for Notable Contributors**: Recognising and compensating our most notable contributors for their relentless efforts, unearthing grassroots opportunities around the globe, and keeping thing running smoothly - **Continuous Park Enhancements**: Establishing a treasury for ongoing terrain park improvements, ensuring sustained impact and cultural relevance, all incredible catalysts for ongoing content production - **Intuitive Onboarding**: Implementing QR/NFC plaques for commemorative purposes and seamless onboarding of new members to our ecosystem - **Brand Outreach**: Collaborating with authentic brands and influencers in the action sports domain to amplify reach and earn the respect of our peers Our dual focus on the action sports community and local councils ensures that our initiatives resonate with authentic cultural value. We reject the zero-sum and seek out win-win, positive-sum outcomes for all involved. ## 🚧 Project Discovery & Selection While we have showcased our past skatepark refurbishments, the future projects are yet to be determined. Gnars original focus was on sponsoring individual athletes, but we've learned that empowering them to uplift their entire community is far more impactful. We wanna help create local heroes! ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeigfvokrjnehnlajktaca4wnarcd322gb2srdgy6flfhx6izmxbfse) 📝 *Explore our Nouniversary events with the new Stories feature on [That's Gnarly](https://thatsgnar.ly/stories)* Skatepark refurbishments and opstacle (giant noggle rail) installations have proven to be the gifts that keep on giving. Beyond our initial unveilings and launch celebrations, our creations are often seen across social media. As shredders become intrigued by our artistic installations, they are often inspired to capture and post tricks they perform on them. ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeigfm66vmoqnarkg2fvgpyswwnio7wjupewbxqr3hytmk72tfbkkvi) 📝 *One of many ways to see our creations surfacing on Instagram is [#gnars](https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/gnars/top/)* The selection process for which projects we pursue involves grassroots discovery by DAO members who are passionate about uplifting their communities. We plan to further utilise Prop House infinite rounds for rewarding grants to opportunities identified by members like those who've already delivered. ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeif5o7iwfwqedxs645vh2fh3ktyeh2ojzlyuffqsdr6rwxuprhf3m4) 📝 *Prop House works well for us like this other round: [1147 votes for 19 props](https://prop.house/gnars/noungnarversary)* Rather than handling each individual skatepark refurbishment / opstacle installation as separate onchain proposals, the Prop House protocol will allow us to be much more gas efficient. We've been running an infinite round that funds artists to complete their designs that end up on skateboards ridden by Tom Rohrer in [his tutorial videos](https://www.instagram.com/toms_tutorials/). Once the protocol hits mainnet, we intend on being power users and believe Prop House is one of the most powerful tools available to communities like ours. ## 🫂 Notable Contributions ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeihr7uy7fgb2pz6inhpphj4kknd2aggrzszfg3an4plyoyb2vs2mfe) 📝 *Visit [roko.dev](https://roko.dev/) to see our sustained growth of unique contributing users!* We have a dedicated group of contributors who've naturally landed to fill certain needs.

# Bring a million shredders onchain ![](https://ipfs.decentralized-content.com/ipfs/bafybeie27ufroebf2hzy62q7jrtl32asdn2zaf3lwojrvamsdgcupd2loa) **[Gnars](https://gnars.wtf)** proposes a strategic migration from Ethereum mainnet to Zora Network in our pursuit to bring a million shredders onchain.

Movements > Marketing.* Skateboarding and similar subcultures, despite their rise in popularity, grapple with commercial overreach and value retention. Some of the most pressing challenges include: 1. **Commercial Exploitation**: Outside brands jumping into skateboarding often prioritise profit over authenticity. 2. **Loss of Authenticity**: Many skaters, due to financial pressures, might promote brands they don't genuinely align with. 3. **Skater Exploitation**: Many skaters, despite their talent, don't receive fair compensation, especially considering the sport's physical demands. 4. **Mainstream Misrepresentation**: Media portrayals frequently miss the genuine essence of skateboarding, leaning into stereotypes. 5. **Skatepark Commercialisation**: Once-communal skateparks are becoming increasingly commercialised. 6. **Core Values vs. Growth**: Balancing foundational skateboarding values with growth opportunities remains a delicate act.

His songs and remixes put a tongue-in-cheek spin on market events and have clocked **OVER 10 MILLION VIEWS**, adding to the cultural fabric of the space with a comedic blend of music, video and niche subject matter. [![](https://i.imgur.com/5EwyJEF.jpg)](https://twitter.com/TheCryptoBubble/status/1587404329262030849) His engaged crypto-centric audience and alignment with Nounish values (using creative remixes and finely-crafted memes to contribute to Web3 culture) make Lil Bubble a great asset to Nouns. He has been a strong supporter and participant in the Nouns community - has featured Nouns in a previous music video, was one of the earliest members and supporters of Gnars DAO, has been a special guest in a number of Noun Square Twitter spaces, and is currently working on his own Nouns fork. ## ⭐️ Previous Nounish Work Lil Bubble featured Noun 189 and owner [Gami](https://gami.wtf) in a music video in August last year. A custom Noun skateboard was featured in the video which was shared widely throughout the community garnering over 370k impressions and 145k video views on Twitter alone. ![](https://i.imgur.com/5ZkITFM.jpg) Lil Bubble grew up skateboarding and his continued support of Gnars DAO has helped us broaden our collector base. The three tracks produced for this EP have made a huge impact on our community, with "Never Gonna Grow Up" having already found its place as our anthem. ## 🚀 Launch Plan Each of the three tracks are being released as timed open editions.

Owner will be set to gnars.eth following drop.* ## 📝 Artist Remarks As one of the first members of Gnars DAO it was fun to finally make some music for my favourite crew! There were a few elements to incorporate into the EP - Gnarly skate references, up-beat Nounish vibes, 8bit sound design, and Lil Bubble's signature crypto moonboy motif. I wanted each song to be a different style to keep things interesting. ### Never Gonna Grow Up [![](https://i.imgur.com/iz4QGdx.jpg)](https://soundcloud.com/lilbubble/never-gonna-grow-up/s-tNxMPjzxvJN) This is my interpretation of Gnars (and by extension Nouns). Skateboarding played a big role in my childhood so being able to re-ignite that passion with Gnars sparks all kinds of youthful nostalgia. Connecting with a new group of people in adulthood and engaging, building and creating together in new ways gives me that same feeling. I'm never gonna grow up! ### Blast Off [![](https://i.imgur.com/6sM9fSe.jpg)](https://soundcloud.com/lilbubble/blast-off/s-gIVZEDQB0wY) This is probably my favourite instrumental on the EP. The trap beat and super simple 8bit-inspired synths are very 'Lil Bubble' and a pretty good glimpse at the direction I'm taking things with my original music moving forward. Lots of Gnars references in the lyrics! ### Level Up [![](https://i.imgur.com/biGY1Ck.jpg)](https://soundcloud.com/lilbubble/level-up/s-rnUMscL3a6K) I wanted to step the energy up in the final track, moving in a slightly more tribal direction (Gnars is about extreme sports after all). More skate references in the lyrics - spot the shoutout to celebrity Gnars DAO member Bob Burnquist! I tied things together with plenty of digital glitches and some classic Lil Bubble trader stories. Regardless of which Web3 camp you sit in, you would have no doubt grown familiar with the market cycles and how they affect us all in one way or another. Trading aside, we should always be trying to level up and improve some area of our lives.
