Hey Bix, that’s right the Wave Protocol is the deliverable from the Prop Lot proposal. We pivoted from an ideas board to an ‘ideas -> proposal’ protocol. The protocol has been built, and we’ve got a few blog posts and a propdate lined up for the community.
Also the 2 Nouns requested in this proposal are only for delegating to the protocol, they will not be owned by the team or the protocol. The Nouns will be kept in a Safe and will be able to be returned to the DAO at any time by the signers Joel, Krel and myself (I am the only Wave team member on the 2/3 multisig).
Amazing proposal! Especially love the interaction with students. Much of Nouns lives in the future—like a neo-org that’s redefining coordination and allocation. So Nouns-pilling young adults is one of the most impactful things we could do.
The prop mentioned encouraging student involvement. Not sure if it does, but would love for that to include the students getting hands on with governance. Happy to delegate if needed! ⌐◨-◨
# Prop Lot: Where Ideas find People
### **What**
This is a proposal to build an ideas marketplace for Nouns.
### **Goals**
1. make it easier for ideas and builders to be considered by the DAO.
2. make it easier for Nouners to signal what they want to see done and funded.
### **How**
The marketplace will separate ideas from proposals. This establishes an inconsequential touchpoint between builders and the treasury before the decision to fund or reject.
Doing so will unlock the following for Nouns, and eventually the wider ecosystem:
- More ideas being generated because the process of submitting an idea is less consequential / arduous than a carefully considered proposal.
- Establishes a contribution portal for those who may not want to build, but have ideas.
- Ability to replace Discourse with a Reddit like portal for each idea and its proposals.
- Ideas can be evaluated on their own merit, without bias towards a proposer or execution.
- Ideas can be revisited, refined and developed over time, potentially leading to better proposals in the future.
- Recognition and potentially compensation for idea creators, despite not being involved in the execution of the proposal.
- Larger pool of potential builders to propose their executions, leading to more aligned proposals and better outcomes for the DAO.
### **UX**
1. Anyone can submit an idea to Prop Lot.
2. Nouners show support for ideas through token weighted up/down voting.
3. Ideas with X amount of upvotes (% threshold decided by DAO) are added to Nouns DAO’s Prop Lot page to start accepting proposals from builders.
4. Nouners can up/down vote proposals. Nouners can also suggest changes. If not supportive of an ETH ask, Nouners can submit an ETH amount they would support onchain.
5. Proposals with X amount upvotes (% threshold decided by DAO) will be able to be pushed onchain at Nouns DAO for funding.
Nouners can also request proposals or a temp-check directly from Nouns DAO’s Prop Lot page.
### **Mockup**

### **Budget**
60 ETH for 4 months of operations (60 ETH for team at 5 ETH p/m pp).
### **Team**
[Adelidusiam](https://twitter.com/adelidusiam), [Frog](https://twitter.com/0xmcg) and [Tob](https://twitter.com/0xTobs). We built [Prop Lot for Lil Nouns](https://lilnouns.wtf/proplot).
### **Deliverables**
- Built an instance of Lil Nouns' Prop Lot for Nouns as a POC (for free. not part of this proposal). Submit your ideas at [nouns.proplot.wtf](https://nouns.proplot.wtf/)
- Idea marketplace released on per feature basis where possible, replacing the POC.
- Working closely with Verbs team to ensure smooth integration with Nouns DAO V3 governance upgrades.
- Expected development time of 12 weeks, with extra time dedicated to actioning feedback, making improvements and feature explorations with the community.
- API so other front end clients can pull ideas to make it easier for anyone to see the ideas Nouners want funded.
- Entirely open source.
### **If successful, what’s next?**
- Explore features that improve Nouners’ ability to make informed decisions about proposals: Eg, a portal for public sourced sentiment to add context in areas Nouners may not be familiar with (potentially activating Nouns spectators).
- Look to integrate Prop House as a funding destination proposals can be pushed to (eg, Prop House Infinite rounds).
- Submit → Submint: consider moving the marketplace onchain to give the DAO control over it’s Prop Lot page, let other Nounish DAOs self-onboard and create an incentive structure that encourages idea submissions (eg, provenance and idea contribution tip).

# lilnouns.eth: set reverse record
This is a simple proposal to set the reverse record from the treasury to be lilnouns.eth. By setting this reverse record, anyone will be able to easily send anything to Lil Nouns by simply inputting lilnouns.eth.

We would like to push for this proposal to meet quorum, seeing that Y is what the majority of lil nouners have voted towards. We also want to recognize and appreciate Brook for his hard work as a member of the DAO. However, we feel that some of the deliverables mentioned in this proposal are vague and overlap with other effective deliverables managed by other members of the DAO. We suggest scoping out these deliverables to ensure that everyone is on the same page regarding requirements and expectations
We really appreciate this proposal and the talent and credibility of motiondesign.eth as a builder. However, we think it would be more effective to separate the asks, with 8.5 going to the Green Pill team, and the other 8.5 going towards a mandated lil nouns prop-house round for best 45-second clip. This would create a win-win-win situation, where we proliferate ⌐◧-◧, engage current builders within the community, and grow our talent pipeline for future endeavors across the nouns ecosystem.
