we've been looking at your characters and connecting with LiL for some time now, I think it's important to have assets, creators or designers on the track that can easily be linked to Lil, I also liked the rest of the prop bro K1MMY. aloha
# Lil Nouns @ ARTOBER 2026 - resubmission
# TLDR
- Create a 20-panel painting that captures the everyday life, stories, and personalities of the Lils. The piece will be displayed as part of a month-long art exhibition at ARTOBER 2026 in Makati, where thousands of people are gathering to celebrate the Museums and Galleries Month.
- Total Ask: 0.8ETH
# Introduction
Kimmydeuk will be joining **ARTOBER 2026**, a month-long art celebration and exhibition happening around Makati. Last year's event, Kimmy attended as a visitor. This year, she’ll be coming back as an exhibitor and wants to offer her exhibition corner to Lil Nouns, a community that has played a big part in her growth as a digital artist. Kimmy will bring the Lils from the digital space into the real world and share a little bit of the Lil Nouns story with people who may not know the community yet.
**Short Background**: Museums and Galleries Month is officially celebrated every October. In Makati, all museums and galleries are free of entrance. Different forms of art are widely celebrated. Last years event is named Art In The City, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered for a month of celebrating art. This year it's ARTOBER and thousands of people is expected to join the month-long celebration again.
# The Concept — Life of Lils
The main piece will be a multi-panel painting called “Life of Lils.” **Acrylic will be used on 20 pieces of 15cm × 15cm canvas**, with each panel showing a different part of the Lils' lives. When put together, all 20 panels will form one bigger painting and tell one connected story. The idea is to show the fun, weird, relatable, and sometimes chaotic parts of being a Lil that other people can also see themselves in.
20 Lils will be showcased in the painting.
# Why Small Canvas Panels?
Instead of putting everything on one big canvas, the painting will be split into multiple smaller pieces. It fits the Lil Nouns theme pretty well, each Lil is its own little piece, but together they become something bigger. Each panel will have its own story, while the full set will come together as one complete artwork.

@0xae47...5Fed
Onboarding is ALWAYS a journey (not a singular exit and entry point) and we should begin to look at ANY prop that we collectively and individually support in that way. People need to be nurtured and supported through a series of touch points alongside sticky content and pathways to participation. I've already brought numerous people whether to propose or get involved and have always supported existing members. And for years, I have supported NFTs and the Web3 community at-large digging trenches for tens of thousands of people. I've earned my keep tenfold. My work in terms of this is uncanny and proven over the last SEVERAL years.
I believe I was clear on what the pipeline looks like for me, Lils and the work as well as what events (even beyond public goods) can look like and what Im rolling out in terms of content over a 50 day runway leading up to the event and post event for people coming and even from afar. I've executed similar campaigns with DisruptLA and many other events and thousands of hours of content. This is also a public goods event for the last time. This is not the Lil Coffee Rave (like why? lol) or a small impact event where we are feeding 3 cats a day.
I am happy to revamp with suggestions, feedback etc. Or whatever... And always open to questions
A big Thank you to those who ACTUALLY read my prop, asked thoughtful questions, waded through the mounds of information, videos and pictures that I posted in the Lils discord, those of you who sent toys for our kids, sent your thoughtful DMs and have supported me.

@0xdcf3...7a19
This was to call the contract back and this is the address and instructions I was given to do so as Chompix had his cool prop up at the same time and it wouldn't have been enough if both had passed. Apologies on this!
This isn't mere merch. With respect, describing it as such is disingenuous. EVERY kid and their family member at this PUBLIC GOODS event gets a tackle box, shirt, fishing pole/rod/reel, etc. Backpacks allow these kids to keep all of their stuff inside. If you've ever worked with kids, you knowwww. T-shirts allow us to ID EVERYYYY person that is with us especially for safety and security reasons. Yes, they are also cool as they can and will be evergreen beyond the event which is a plus, but there is a reason for these things and why they are important at PUBLIC GOODS events like this that is in service to HUNDREDS of people. Nothing I do comes without a rationale, especially in the important work that I do in my community and beyond.
Further, MOST of these kids, who absolutely come from under resourced communities, are not coming to this PUBLIC GOODS event with their own tackle box, fishing poles, resources for parking passes, or anything for that matter. We also give some of these families groceries (like we do at our weekly food distro) and always throw a nice BBQ, pass out resources, etc.

# Lil Nouns x Annual Family Fishing Day
## Overview
TLDR; The **Lil Nouns x Annual Family Fishing Day** is an IRL community/social impact activation designed to introduce families and youth to Lil Nouns through sports fishing and playful, hands-on experiences. The event is co-hosted and produced by Lil Nouns x Lils community member NatalieCrüe and Valley Community SDA Community Services (our host).
## Highlights
-Public Goods/Community Impact event
-T-Shirt Designed by prolific fine artist and designer Brian Morris
-Robust content creation w/ 4 month plan (Pre event, Live, and Post-Event)
-Nounish merch (stickers, keychains, toys, etc) for kids
This annual event is expected to draw over 300 attendees, including over 228 youth. Within 3 hours of opening our pre-registration form, there were already over 200 signups.. and counting. There has been a **massive** demand for this event by the community at-large with over 103 shares in 3 hours on our original [FB announcement](https://www.facebook.com/groups/688042038014714/permalink/3662838087201746/) in one of the largest FB groups in our city and region as well as countless requests to open up another registration period.
## History
This particular event has been running for over two decades in Stockton, CA. Through sports, fishing education and community-centric activities, thousands of under-resourced families and youth have been able to build community and belonging, build bridges between their respective communities, and participate in positive activities in a city where crime runs rampant. Adventist Community Services has supported our longstanding community events for decades without strings attached.
**However**, it is time for a revamp. Through the lens of Lil Nouns ⌐◨-◨ and our love for play, IRL events, color, and public goods; we have totally reimagined this annual event. With help from several members from our Lil Nouns community and some incredible community collaborations, this event has been reborn and made a Lil Nounish. This is not a religious event. It is a Non-Profit event. This event is inclusive to **anyone** who wants to attend no matter what their background, beliefs, and interests is/are.
Lil Nouns has successfully funded multiple IRL activations that create low-barrier, high-fun entry points for events, communities and new audiences. These activities work because they focus on shared experiences, culture and community building rather than technical explanations. Lil Nouns funding and support have consistently prioritized projects that make the ecosystem visible, approachable, and fun. This Annual Family Fishing Day is a natural extension of this approach. Families in our community frequently attend community events and activities regularly and sports, of all types from football to sports fishing, has always been a huge thing in Stockton. Meeting communities and young people where they already are and offering them creative, hands-on Lil Nouns experiences is the most effective way to execute social impact projects on the ground.
## Logistics
Date September 13, 2026
Venue [Oak Grove Regional Park](https://sjparks.com/parks/shumway-oak-grove-regional-park), Stockton, CA
Duration 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM (5 hours)
Capacity 300+ attendees (250+ youth expected)
Format Community fishing day, Lil Resource Fair & BBQ, and a creative Lil Nouns activation via a Stamp Rally, Nounish merch, etc
Lil Nouns will be threaded throughout the event from the marketing occurring before the event (has already started), to media and press engagement, integrated onsite engagement via a stamp rally activation, event merch and some amazing prizes and awards, social content, and post event via social marketing and cc0 content. This is NOT a sponsorship. This is an event, with existing community buy-in, that has been rebuilt AND reimagined through the lens and fabric of Lil Nouns.
At the heart of this social impact and public goods activation is a Lil Nouns Stamp Rally event and Fishing Derby where attendees will:
-Receive a limited edition Lil Nouns shirt designed by prolific fine artist, Brian Morris
-Customize a tackle box with Lil Nouns stickers and accessories to take home as a long lasting memory
-Receive free fishing gear (fishing pole, rod/reel, etc) and Nounish merch (keychains, toys, etc)
-One-of-a-kind Lil Nouns trophy for the derby winner
-Participate in a Lil Nouns Stamp Rally event
-Visit booths from local community organizations via our Lil Resource Fair
Participants will engage in a stamp rally, similar to what you'd find at anime conventions, where attendees visit different booths and activity stations to collect stamps on a postcard. A completed card earns a pair of Noggles and other prizes. This gamified approach drives foot traffic to all event booths including out Lil Resource fair and creates a fun, exploratory experience for families.
## Audience
The Lil Nouns x Annual Family Fishing Day is designed to serve a diverse, intergenerational audience with a shared interest in community, family, and the outdoors. Our outreach efforts are focused on the following key segments:
**Target Audience:**
-Families with children ages 5–12 in California's Central Valley
-Youth who participate in sports and outdoor activities
-Under-resourced families seeking free community activities and resources
-The broader Stockton and San Joaquin County regional community (this event has been running for over two decades. First year with this new format)
## Costs
This proposal requests $7,667.04 USDC from Lil Nouns DAO. The funds will cover the specific, Nounish event and activation elements as listed below.
Adventist Community Services, which has graciously hosted our community events for decades, and additional local sponsors are contributing to the event via venue down payment costs, permit costs and sanitation setup, additional tables, water, marketing, pre-event storage, some food, and general event operations. We have also received a donation of fishing poles for youth participants.
You can also view the full budget [HERE](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18sNB7VP-DX-RE0W1ZHTNxNsT-dlvOqV_RJY12Cp0Ip4/edit?usp=sharing).
.jpg)
**Budget Notes:** The event organizers have also contributed funds and in-kind donations towards fishing gear, deposits, more food (our largest expense), refreshments, etc. We have also received in-kind donations from local establishments, fishing pole donations from community members and companies like Zebco, etc
Cost for printing is being subsidized by in-kind donations, existing platform credits, and 501(c)3 discounts.
I'm not taking any funding for my work on this event.
## Promotion & Marketing
Promotion for the **Lil Nouns x Annual Family Fishing Day** is already underway and gaining significant momentum. Within 3 hours of opening our pre-registration form, we received 228 signups with over 105 shares in one of the region's largest Facebook group (129,000+ members). This demonstrates the massive community demand and the effectiveness of our grassroots outreach.
Our multi-pronged promotional and marketing strategy is tailored to the local landscape and how our existing audiences prefers to receive information via multichannel marketing as well as offered in multiple languages including Spanish.
You can find our robust CC0 event strategy, marketing channel guide, content and drafts, and content tracker here: **[#LilDerby Tracker](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p2WTb8Ux-MtOAJdUUlHV7hcqu7IGm76bAup7w3GusjA/edit?usp=sharing)**

## Measures of Success
The **Lil Nouns x Annual Family Fishing Day** is more than a single event. It is the flagship activation in a broader ecosystem of community engagement and public goods. Our activation and rollout has already begun and will continue beyond the event itself as we roll out recap content and upcoming events.
Our goals are designed to measure not only the success of this event but also its effectiveness as a pipeline for future initiatives, including our upcoming immersive touring free book fair, decentralized art festival, and ongoing community activations.
We have organized our goals into four key pillars: **Attendance and Reach, Engagement and Participation, Satisfaction and Sentiment, and Follow Up Activity and Community Growth.**
**Metric Target Measurement Method** Total attendees 300+ On-site count and registration data
Youth participants 250 Pre-registration and on-site check-in
Pre-registration 228 Google Forms registration data
Social media reach 244k Facebook, Instagram, X analytics
Media Hits 10 Press coverage tracking
**Attendance and Reach** These metrics measure our ability to draw the community in and validate the effectiveness of our promotional channels.
Our primary target is 300 or more total attendees, measured through registration data and stamp rally card collection and distribution, as well as post-event surveys and follow up. This establishes a baseline for scaling future events. We are specifically targeting 250 or more youth participants between the ages of 1 and 17, tracked through registration data and Stamp Rally card distribution. Reaching families is critical, as they are our primary audience for current and future educational, social impact, and creative activations.
**Engagement and Participation** Our live social media presence will include a minimum of 20 posts across channels (Refer to our [#LilDerby Tracker](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p2WTb8Ux-MtOAJdUUlHV7hcqu7IGm76bAup7w3GusjA/edit?usp=sharing)), keeping our digital community engaged in real-time. We will also conduct live stream broadcasts in 10 to 30 minute intervals during peak activity, providing authentic content that builds trust with remote audiences. People may also join our Discord and other channels via our event QR code.
**Satisfaction** Satisfaction is the leading indicator of long-term community growth. Families who have a positive experience are more likely to attend future events, join Lil Nouns channels, and spread the word to their networks.

# Lil Nouns IP Proliferation Steward – 6-Month Pilot
**Duration:** 6 months
---
## Overview
I am proposing a six-month pilot program in which I would serve as the **Lil Nouns IP Proliferation Steward**.
The primary objective of this initiative is to maximize the visibility and utilization of an original **Lil Nouns character intellectual property (IP)** across both online and real-world channels.
[View the full proposal deck →](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XQLnXeKqV9UfNf8sfg_kULrjwIuBKujwXR08rzMu7lI/edit?usp=sharing)
### Core Activities
The core activities of this pilot will include:
- Organizing and producing monthly, high-quality **Lil Arena** Dota 2 tournaments, which will serve as the flagship advertising vehicle for the Lil Nouns brand.
- Creating an original character IP in the distinctive Lil Nouns style. This will include developing animations, manufacturing plush toys, and producing a full, high-quality mascot for use in both content and real-world events.
- Launching a permanent Print-on-Demand store at [lilnouns.store](https://lilnouns.store), which will provide ongoing access to branded merchandise.
- Consistently proliferating the Lil Nouns brand through online channels and select in-person activations to maximize visibility.
- Proactively building email lists for future Lil Nouns newsletters and merchandise drops, helping to establish a direct line of communication with the community.
All activities and progress will be permanently documented, primarily on **X**, with cross-posts to Facebook to engage Spanish-speaking audiences.
---
## Why Chompix
I, [Chompix](https://liquipedia.net/dota2/User:Chompix), already sit at the intersection of the communities this pilot needs:
- Organized 19+ tournaments and distributed **$7,770** in prizes
- Former **Nouns GG content creator / streamer** on flows.wtf
- Used that role to brand the **Nounish Cup** series, sponsored IRL soccer tournaments in Lima, and bring new voters into Nouns GG
- Extensive casting history (Claro Gaming, Movistar Liga, DPC SA, BTS Pro Series, NADCL, and more)
- Built **chompix.app** bracket tools used during EWC and TI qualifiers
- Twitch channel: **500,000+ lifetime hours watched**, 14,686 followers, Top 3.23%
- Already integrate Lil Nouns branding into my regular content and streams
I am not starting from zero; I am scaling work I already do organically.
---
## Lil Arena (Monthly Flagship)
Each month of the pilot will feature the following key elements:
- **4 Open Qualifiers**
- **Main Event**: 4-team single elimination (Bo3 semis + Bo5 grand final)
- Full-scale production, including player cameras, branded overlays, heads-up display (HUD) elements, smooth transitions, and comprehensive social content packages.
### Mandatory Rules for Participation
- Every team name **must** include a Lil animal (Lil Orca, Lil Mouse, Lil Frog, Lil Car, etc.)
- Full Lil Nouns character branding required to play
- Main Event players must provide an email for Lil Nouns newsletters
Lil Arena is deliberately designed to serve as a **grassroots training ground**. It provides emerging players with consistent opportunities for competitive experience, while also simulating the administrative standards of top-tier tournaments.
---
## Character IP Creation
I will create **original characters** in the signature Lil Nouns aesthetic, rather than simply adapting existing assets. This will include:
- Animation
- Plushies
- A full high-quality mascot
The mascot will be used both in digital content and real-world activations. It is planned to make appearances in Minneapolis during Halloween and/or Christmas, as soon as it becomes available.
These assets will serve as long-term brand tools, extending the impact of this initiative beyond the conclusion of the pilot.
---
## Permanent Store + Email Lists
- Launch **lilnouns.store**, a Print-on-Demand online store for branded merchandise.
- Ensure the store continues to operate beyond the six-month pilot period.
- Enable Main Event players and store customers to join email lists for notifications about future merchandise drops and character IP updates.

## Budget
| Item | Amount |
| ----------------------------------- | ------- |
| Tournament Prize Pools (6 × $1,000) | $6,000 |
| Steward Compensation ($1,000/month) | $6,000 |
| Total | $12,000 |
**Note on compensation:** The $1,000 per month is intended as **supplemental compensation**. Each Lil Arena event requires significant production efforts, often exceeding twelve hours per event. I will contribute substantial personal time, resources, and additional funding to ensure the project’s success. This compensation is intended to help offset the extra costs required to maximize the overall impact.

imo funding hot dogs isn't the right cultural fit for Lil. Combined with the public health concerns surrounding excessive consumption of processed foods, it's impossible to support.
@0xFC53...6183
1. Lils will be represented through; tagging, mentioning, and adding lil nouns as collaborator for the content. The logo on front of the car will be captured as there will be other angle shots, not just one. Brand logo and name will also be present at the edited video.
We have a link on our bio that directs people to a page where they can choose on which cat or what cat needs do they want to put their donations. Through actively posting and putting IG stories, we are able to reach for donors and most of the donations are going to the veterinary bills. And the funds for cat foods are coming straight out of the volunteers pockets.
2. About having the same kind of content with lil Nick, it might appear the same because of the target subject but to me this is a different one because our initiative isn't only focused on feeding cats, these details are mentioned in the prop. Also, Nick's timeframe is long and have a lot of things to consider to start deploying the feeders. Ours isn't as complicated as the initial phase of Nick's prop. We just need 7 days to make the purr patrol, fill it with kibbles, start rolling, proliferation.
3.I have mentioned in the prop that all our community cats are neutered and spayed (except to the kittens and cats that's just new to the area). They will be seen in the videos as they all have a neutered/spayed mark on their ears. And these neutered and spayed cats are all ready for adoption, just needed to let a wider audience know about them. For the past years, we haven't had a shortage with cat foods but because everything now is getting more expensive, we weren't able to anticipate it and volunteers could no longer have enough funds for it.
4.If you can check out our IG accounts, we are actively posting and with that we know we can provide a solid proliferation with the Lil Purr Patrol. We wanted this proposal to be more than just asking the lils for cat food donations. We also wanted to give something back to the community. That's why we came up with the idea of doing stray cat feeding with a lil nounish twist, creating fun, shareable content that spreads the spirit of Lil Nouns while helping stray cats. Our goal is to make a real-world impact and inspire more people to support the cause.
Also mentioned in the prop that we aim to create a sustainable cycle of support, and it is possible to achieve that through contents that can reach a wider audience. With actively posting of lil purr patrol contents, we hope to inspire food donations, partnerships, and community involvement.

I hope this answers the unclear parts of the prop. Thank you Mike for taking the time stating your feedback.
I cannot vote on my own proposal, that would be crazy. Thinking I would rug is even crazier though. Pass or not pass, I will still win the contest. Keep Lil Nouns weird or don't. The choice is yours.

Lil Feeders is feeding cats without spaying or neutering them either. This money goes to fund buying cat food directly, and will get us a little bit of content for the twitter account since it is currently dead. This has more chance of proliferation IMO than the feeders, and I know this will be delivered in a timely manner since the complexity is much lower.
Fun idea, but not sure its worth $500 in regards to proliferation -- Feels very low signal with the reach on Farcaster, Zora, X. I'm not sure sharing you with a hotdog half shoved into your mouth is the Lil X content we're looking for.. (but maybe! Lets see what voters think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
And honestly I personally can't support eating 8 hotdogs a day.. seems pretty bad for your health overall.. Once funded you're locked in and at that point you rug if you don't finish? lol -- Seems risky for the DAO and for your health from my perspective.
Hopefully you don't need a fecal transplant one day from all this dog eating, lmao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tr7AhkOEj4
Regardless of my opinion, good luck with the prop, earning those dog bounties, and thanks for bringing your first prop to Lils!!

---
## 🏆 The Track Record (Proof of Athletic Capability)
This is not a casual attempt. I am a seasoned competitor in the Log A Dog circuit:
- **Year 1:** 🥇 1st Place Champion — Watch my official winner's interview on [Zora](https://zora.co/coin/base:0xee78b6b03a705e9bd926b5c515a913c0bda39078?referrer=0x653ff253b0c7c1cc52f484e891b71f9f1f010bfb).

# Lil Purr Patrol
**Summary**
- Lil Purr Patrol is a customized remote-controlled feeding vehicle that will distribute food to community cats across Makati while documenting the experience through action-camera footage.
- Lil Purr Patrol is more than a feeding initiative, it is a creative approach to animal welfare that will use nounish storytelling to inspire compassion. This proposal aims to help improve the lives of community cats while encouraging more people to support adoption, responsible pet care, and volunteer-driven animal welfare efforts.
- The proposal seeks $1450 funding for 2 customized Lil Purr Patrol, 30 sacks of kibble and 15 boxes of canned wet foods.
**The Problem**
Despite the dedicated efforts of volunteer groups through daily feeding, adoption drives, and quarterly spay and neuter programs, many community cats in Makati continue to face uncertainty. Public awareness about responsible community cat care remains limited, resulting in low adoption rates, misconceptions about stray cats, and insufficient support for volunteer-led initiatives.
By making community cat care more visible and relatable, we hope to build greater public support and create lasting positive impact for both the cats and the volunteers who care for them.
## Delivery Plan
A small 4x4 remote-controlled vehicle will be transformed into the Lil Purr Patrol carrying kibble and wet food to community cats. The vehicle will be equipped with an action camera to capture unique perspectives of feeding sessions and cat interactions.
**Why Lil Purr Patrol?**
Similar content has already gained significant traction in other countries, proving its ability to reach a broad audience and generate positive engagement. By adapting this concept through the Lil Purr Patrol, we can use entertaining and shareable content to raise awareness about community cat welfare while inspiring more people to support volunteer-led initiatives. (food donations, adoption, veterinary funds)
**How It Works**
1. Fill the Lil Purr Patrol with kibble and wet food.
2. Drive the vehicle toward designated feeding areas.
3. Community cats approach and receive their meals.
4. Capture the experience using a Insta360 action camera mounted on the vehicle.
5. Produce short-form videos and social media content showcasing the feeding missions.
Post on our official Instagram and other socials.
**Expected Impact**
**Direct Impact**
- Additional nutritional support for over 100 cats cared for by local volunteers as we are currently facing cat food shortage.
- Increased visibility for community cat welfare efforts.
- Increased adoption rate.
**Community Impact**
- Greater public understanding of how to interact with and care for stray cats.
- Increased awareness of the benefits of spay and neuter programs.
- More people considering adoption through local rescue groups.
- Stronger support for volunteer-led animal welfare initiatives.
**Ecosystem Impact**
- By combining public-good work with creative content, Lil Purr Patrol demonstrates how Nounish culture can make everyday acts of kindness more visible, engaging, and shareable. The project transforms routine feeding activities into a tool for education, advocacy, and positive community engagement.
**Content Delivery** (2 videos weekly) The contents will highlight;
- The lives of community cats
- Responsible feeding practices
- The importance of spay and neuter (all our community cats are neutered and spayed, except kittens and cats new to the area)
- The cats that are ready for adoption, to give them higher chances of being adopted. (Adopt Don't Shop! advocacy)
**Cats of Legazpi Village (COLV) and MaCATizen** - Volunteers of these groups will be assigned to document, compile and edit the Lil Purr Patrol initiative.
**Kimmydeuk** - will be checking every content before posting to make sure it properly executes the goals of Lil Purr Patrol initiative, and will also do a monthly report with the impact on the cats being supported.
**Official Accounts:**
- [CatsOfLegazpiVillage](https://www.instagram.com/catsoflegaspivillage?igsh=MXdxaTM3dTZjeHp3dw==)
- [Macatizen](https://www.instagram.com/macatizen?igsh=MTB0bnlzaTh3dmhsdg==)
## Budget
- **Kibbles (cats preferred Pet Marra)** $25 × 30 sacks (7kg each) = **$750**
- **Canned wet food (cats preferred Special Cat)** $37 × 15 boxes = **$555**
- **2 Customized Lil Purr Patrol =** **$145** (1 for COLV and 1 for MaCATizen)
- (2 Insta360 cameras are already provided by the volunteers)
Total Ask: **($1450)**
## Timeline
While this proposal outlines the initial phase of Lil Purr Patrol, the mission itself has no defined end. As long as there are community cats in need, the Lil Purr Patrol will continue rolling, delivering meals, spreading awareness, and bringing a lil nounish joy to every cats wherever it goes.
Beyond providing immediate food assistance, this proposal aims to create a sustainable cycle of support. Through engaging content that resonates with a wider audience, we hope to inspire donations, partnerships, and community involvement. As awareness grows, our goal is for volunteers to no longer face recurring shortages of cat food, allowing the Lil Purr Patrol to continue its mission of feeding and caring for community cats without interruption.
(7 days after the funding, Lil Purr Patrol will be seen in action. This timeframe allows sufficient time for customization of the components and necessary test drives)
## Team
- **Kimmydeuk** - Aside from being a nounish artist, I am also a member of COLV (Cats of Legazpi Village) for over a year.
- **Cats of Legazpi Village and Macatizen** - Almost a decade old volunteer-led group that takes care of the community cats. Aside from feeding, the group is also hosting adoption drives and quarterly neuter and spay programs.
With the support of this proposal, we can provide meals, create meaningful content, and give community cats the visibility and care they deserve.
I would love to see this group focus on building more surfboards and making content around that. My full opinion is in the discord and on the previous prop.
I like the passion and the vibes, but I think we'd be spending too much for the amount of views and distribution we'd receive. Given the amount of capital Lils is generating right now, it's just too big of a spend for us, in my opinion.
gm lil! aloha. we listened, refined, and came back with a more focused proposal.
If you have a minute, please check the update comments below since the draft prop and give the proposal another look we'd love the chance to build with Lil Nouns... we're confident this project can bring meaningful creative value to the DAO.
# LiL NoGgLesBoARd v2
## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10-month Lil Nouns cultural expansion focused on creating physical products and original media that showcase the creativity of Lil Nouns artists, builders, and contributors.
The project combines the production of CC0 physical products with high-quality films that document their creation, stories, and real-world use. By connecting physical objects, video content, and digital distribution, each product becomes both a cultural artifact and a media asset, helping introduce Lil Nouns to new audiences through art, design, sports, and community-driven storytelling. The initiative aims to expand Lil Nouns' cultural presence while creating reusable content, products, and narratives that can support the DAO across social channels, events, partnerships, and future ecosystem growth.
---
## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with [Prop 752](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/752), when we merged into surf through [Zimardrp](https://www.instagram.com/joaoparmagnani/), unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, content creation, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of artists, surfers, skaters and partness like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).

## 4. Nogglesboard LiL Products Plan
*The idea is to direct the design and narrative of these products to go directly to LiL Nouns, using keywords, profiles, and mentioned websites like [lilnouns.wtf](https://lilnouns.wtf/) [lils.wtf ](https://lils.wtf/)[lilnouns.camp](https://lilnouns.camp/) and opensea.io/collection/lil-nouns.*
### 1. Upcycled LiL Wooden Products
- "*LilNouns: Objects of Utility. From Skateboard to Artifact*" Movie

- Dedicated video content documenting the design and manufacturing process, connecting sustainability and craftsmanship culture funded and support by LIl Nouns.
- Utilize the products for the nexts activations, community engagement, and ecosystem visibility.
### 2. LiL Surfboard & Storytelling for LiL
- "*LiL Waves, A New Line*" Movie
- Production of **1 custom LiL Nouns surfboard** for surfer [Ana Dagostin](https://www.instagram.com/aninhadagostini/reels/).
- Creation of a flagship surf film and interview series showcasing how **LiL Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators** through cultural initiatives such as Nogglesboard, inspired on this one
- Content designed to promote the DAO through surf/artistic culture and authentic storytelling.
### 3. Artistic Collectible Series

## 4.1 Digital Products (Media Activation)
### Proposed Film Outputs
**1)** *A design-driven film documenting the transformation of broken skateboards into handcrafted Lil Nouns sandals and wooden sunglasses. The narrative explores upcycling, craftsmanship, skate culture, and physical product creation as a reflection of Lil Nouns' creative spirit, while highlighting how the DAO empowers artists through funding, proposals, and onchain collaboration, enabling creators to develop meaningful work, experiment with new ideas, and bring cultural projects into the real world.*
**2)** *A playful and visually engaging surf film following 12-year-old surfer Ana Dagostin as she receives and rides a custom Lil Nouns surfboard. Built around fun surfing sessions, creative visuals, and a brief interview, the film introduces Ana's journey as a young athlete while showcasing how Lil Nouns supports artists, athletes, and creators through community funding and onchain opportunities, using the surfboard as a tangible symbol of that impact.*
**3)** *A raw, underground-style surf short featuring Zima riding the Gnarsym 001, blending lo-fi surf cinematography with experimental storytelling. During the session, the surfboard’s QR code becomes an interactive gateway to Lil Nouns, where a passerby on the beach scans it and is guided into purchasing a Lil Nouns NFT. The film connects physical surf culture, spontaneous real-world interaction, and onchain discovery, presenting Lil Nouns through a technical yet poetic lens rooted in independent surf cinema and digital-native culture.*
**4)** *A documentary-style piece covering the artist crreation, onchain submissions, 3D design process, soap production, and the transformation of embedded artworks into collectible objects and keychains. The film highlights community participation and creative experimentation within the Lil ecosystem.*

#### CC0 Media Contribution
We believe this would be a valuable contribution to Lil Nouns by helping the DAO occupy more space across the internet through authentic creations that build long-term cultural value. By intentionally including “Lil Nouns” in film titles and producing original stories around artists, products, events, and onchain culture, the project expands the DAO’s visibility, discoverability, and cultural footprint across search engines, social platforms, video platforms, and AI-driven systems. All films, photography, interviews, and creative assets will be released under **CC0**, creating a permanent, reusable media archive that strengthens Lil Nouns’ storytelling, supports future contributors, and preserves the history and evolution of the DAO for years to come.
#### CC0 Media Distribution Plan
- **Pre-Release Content:** Share behind-the-scenes content, product development, artist spotlights, and production updates to build anticipation.
- **Teaser Campaigns:** Publish short trailers, photography, and social media previews ahead of each film release.
- **Film Launches:** Release full films with optimized titles, descriptions, metadata, and Lil Nouns branding across video platforms.
- **Content Repurposing:** Transform each film into reels, shorts, clips, photography posts, quotes, and educational content.
- **Search & AI Visibility:** Publish blogs, transcripts, captions, and written summaries to improve discoverability across search engines and AI systems.
- **Community Amplification:** Encourage featured artists, riders, builders, partners, and community members to share and remix CC0 content.
- **Permanent CC0 Archive:** Maintain public access to all films, photos, interviews, and media assets as reusable resources for the Lil Nouns ecosystem.
**Production & Development Partners**
- [Precious Plastic Espírito Santo](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.es/): product construction development, including nounish-inspired lens applications, finishing techniques, and structural experimentation for the wooden glasses line.

## 5. IRL Activation
The proposal includes one strategic cultural activation focused on expanding Lil Nouns' visibility through real-world presence, media production, and community engagement. The team would participate in a major crypto and cultural gathering such as **[ETH Latam](https://www.instagram.com/ethlatam/)**, representing Lil Nouns through apparel, product showcases, stickers, and community interactions within existing Web3 and creative ecosystems. Alongside the activation, the team will produce a series of short-form media assets and one dedicated high-quality horizontal film documenting the experience, helping extend Lil Nouns’ presence beyond the event itself and creating reusable content for social channels, websites, archives, and future community initiatives. The activation will be executed through a lean, mobility-focused structure, prioritizing a small core team, efficient travel planning, and localized resources to maximize cultural impact and media output while maintaining cost efficiency.

While i like the idea I'd much rather see the contest happen natively on our own website vs building out another website further fragmenting the community and activities it sponsors.
I’ve been traveling/camping over the past week, so I haven’t had a chance to dig into this prop in detail. At first glance, I largely agree with what Beans said in his VWR: the impact doesn’t seem scalable relative to the cost. It also feels like the prop may be trying to do too many things at once, though I’ll admit I don’t have much context yet.
I’d be open to reconsidering after more time to discuss the prop in VC.
I like the idea but....my main concern here is the lack of scalable impact relative to the cost. With only 1 surfboard, 5 pairs of sandals, 5 pairs of sunglasses and 100 bars of soap, the physical reach is highly limited. Furthermore, we haven't seen a meaningful uptick in brand awareness or data proving success from the original Nogglesboard proposal(show me the numbers!), which still has outstanding deliverables. Before funding a 10 month extension into Lil Nouns, we should see the finalized metrics, distribution data, and full delivery of the original Nouns DAO project IMO.
I was told that the main objective is the prop is "multimedia" for Lil Nouns to be able to distribute and share. We currently don't have much in the way of social media presence and looking at their youtube channel there isnt any meaningful views for me too see it as being a good treasury spend. I mentioned this in the discord in more detail. feel free to check the general chat.
# Lil UGC Creathon by Lil Nouns x Nounish Art School
### A Content creators’ hackathon around Little Nouns
.png?table=block&id=375e50ff-9855-8060-b9c0-e7f29ea5e830&spaceId=86ae50ff-9855-81a1-9478-00036a8d0a58&width=1410&userId=&cache=v2&imgBuildSrc=requestProxiedImageUrl)
# Summary
The Lil UGC Creathon is an online hackathon for creators, designed to increase awareness and visibility of Lil Nouns across Spanish-speaking communities.
Rather than focusing on traditional educational content, the Creathon encourages creators to share how Lil Nouns connects to their interests, experiences, events, creative projects, communities, and everyday Web3 journey.
Participants will create engaging content that showcases Lil Nouns as a culture, community, and lifestyle rather than simply a governance system.
Through authentic storytelling and creator-led content, the campaign aims to introduce Lil Nouns to new audiences, spark curiosity, increase visibility, and encourage participation, and also incentivize the acquisition of the tokens.
Cool thing about this is that the content will also be CC0, so we can continue sharing and generating more content about this. Even more events online and IRL.
---
# Why Now?
Many people across tech and art are familiar with Web3, NFTs, creators, and community-driven projects, yet few have been exposed to Lil Nouns through relatable content and real creator experiences.
Most existing content about Web3 focuses on technical concepts or investment. While content about Lil Nouns projects is all over the internet, there is no talk about what Lil Nouns really is, the community and how it works.
People join communities because they see others participating, creating, attending events, building relationships, and sharing meaningful experiences.
The Lil UGC Creathon seeks to amplify those stories and motivate people to understand better about Lils and start a conversation cycle

# Why This Matters
Communities grow through people.
The strongest way to introduce new audiences to Lil Nouns is not through advertisements or technical explanations, but through authentic stories shared by creators who are already participating in Web3 culture.
The Lil UGC Creathon leverages creators as storytellers, helping make Lil Nouns more visible, relatable, and culturally relevant across Spanish-speaking communities.
If successful, this model can be replicated in additional regions and languages while providing valuable insights into creator-led ecosystem growth.
---
# Expected Outcome
A creator-driven campaign that generates authentic content, expands awareness of Lil Nouns across Latin America, increases community visibility, and creates a repeatable framework for future creator-led growth initiatives.
# LiL NoGgLesBoARd.
## 1. TL;DR
Nogglesboard proposes a 10 month Lil Nouns cultural expansion through physical products, media, and IRL activations that turn Lil identity into real-world objects, stories, and community touchpoints.
The project will deliver a Lil Nouns surfboard, upcycled sandals and sunglasses, 100 artistic soap collectibles, apparel, five original highquality films, two cultural activations, QR-linked digital infrastructure, and a reusable CC0 archive for Lil Nouns.
Rather than producing isolated merch or short-term marketing, the goal is to build a physical, to digital cultural layer for Lil Nouns: products that generate stories, stories that drive discovery, and media/assets that the DAO can keep using across social, events, websites, and future projects.
---
## 2. Nogglesboard History
Nogglesboard began with upcycled skate decks and viral content alongside [Will Dias](https://willdias.hotglue.me/), channeling a raw, playful energy that quickly resonated across the DAO. Blending skateboarding, internet native creativity, and the nounish spirit in a way that felt authentic both IRL and URL.
That energy expanded with Prop 752, when we merged into surf through [Zimardrp](https://www.instagram.com/joaoparmagnani/), unlocking a new wave of experimentation with nounish surfboards, physical products, and a growing stream of content and real world activations. Along the way, Nogglesboard became a consistent presence in the DAO: building, shipping, collaborating, and connecting with a wider network of surfers, skaters, artists, and partners like [Airdrop Culture](https://www.instagram.com/airdrop.culture), [Maze Surf Crafts](https://www.instagram.com/mazesurfcrafts), [Gnars DAO](https://www.gnars.com/nogglesrails), and [Higher](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/higher).
Now, after a year of momentum, community building, and creative experimentation, it feels like the right moment to evolve that energy into something a bit more… lil, a fresh perspective.

## 4.1 Digital Products (Media Activation)
Throughout the project, we will prioritize the production of audiovisual designed to amplify the Lil Nouns ecosystem through authentic Nogglesboard creations. Each activation will combine art, design, surf, skateboarding, upcycling, and onchain culture while organically directing audiences toward Lil Nouns platforms such as **lilnouns.wtf**, **lils.wtf**, **lilnouns.camp**, and the broader Nouns ecosystem, like nogglesboard.wtf, nouns.world, nounsTV etc.
### Proposed Film Outputs
#### 1. LilNouns: Objects of Utility. From Skateboard to Artifact
**(LiL Wooden Sandals & Sunglasses Documentary)** A design-driven film documenting the transformation of broken skateboards into handcrafted Lil Nouns sandals and wooden sunglasses. The narrative explores upcycling, craftsmanship, skate culture, and physical product creation as a reflection of Lil Nouns' creative spirit.
#### 2. LiLNouns Waves, A New Line
**(Ana Dagostin × LiL Nouns Surfboard)** A playful surf film following Ana Dagostin receiving and riding a custom Lil Nouns surfboard. Combining surfing, interviews, art, and product interaction, the piece introduces Lil Nouns through a colorful, optimistic, and youth-oriented visual language.
#### 3. QR to LiLNouns, Riding Weird
**(Gnarsymmetrical Session & Onchain Surf Experience)** A more underground and raw surf short featuring Zima riding the Gnarsym 001 while interacting with a QR-linked Lil Nouns experience. Inspired by independent surf cinema, the film connects physical objects, surfing, and onchain discovery through a more technical and experimental tone.
#### 4. LiLNouns Soap, Proof of Imagination
**(Lil Artistic Soap Documentary)** A documentary-style piece covering the artist crreation, onchain submissions, 3D design process, soap production, and the transformation of embedded artworks into collectible objects and keychains. The film highlights community participation and creative experimentation within the Lil ecosystem.
#### 5. LiLNouns Network State of Mind
**(Lil Nouns Exhibition & Community Activation)** A special event film documenting a dedicated Lil Nouns activation featuring NFT projections, artwork exhibitions, DJs, community interaction, merchandise, and audiovisual experiences. The output serves as both cultural documentation and promotional media for future Lil Nouns initiatives.
#### CC0 Media Contribution
The inclusion of “Lil Nouns” within film titles and media outputs is intentional, creating a searchable and enduring content archive that strengthens the DAO’s discoverability across platforms such as YouTube, search engines, social media, and AI-driven indexing systems. Rather than producing repetitive marketing materials, each film explores a distinct narrative angle surf, craftsmanship, events, artists, products, and onchain culture resulting in a diverse body of high-quality media that expands the visibility, identity, and cultural footprint of Lil Nouns over time.
All films, photography, design assets, interviews, and supporting media will be released under **CC0**, creating a reusable content library for Lil Nouns contributors, social channels, newsletters, websites, and future governance initiatives. Given the current opportunity to expand Lil Nouns' long-form video presence, the project aims to strengthen the DAO's storytelling capabilities while providing authentic, media for years to come.
## 5. IRL Activation
The proposal includes two core physical activations designed to expand Lil Nouns visibility through real-world cultural presence, audiovisual production, and community interaction. The first activation is a fully Lil-focused premiere/exhibition event hosted at LADO B in Rio de Janeiro, combining retroprojector NFT visuals, live DJ performances by Lil Charles and Lil Groove, Lil-themed styling/apparel, music, and immersive artistic atmosphere. The activation will also generate a dedicated cinematic media output documenting the intersection between Lil Nouns, music, visual art, and internet-native culture.
The second activation would take place at a major crypto/cultural environment such as ETH Samba, ETH Brazil, or a Florianópolis-based event, where the team would physically represent Lil Nouns through apparel, product showcases, stickers, soaps, and community-oriented activations integrated into existing crypto and creative ecosystems.
Executing these activations requires a lean, mobility-first logistics structure, prioritizing a minimal core team (Zima, Will, and limited support), optimized transportation/accommodation planning, short production windows, and localized resource usage to reduce operational overhead while maintaining strong execution quality and media output throughout the project.
**Budget Summary ($2,000 total):**
- Crypto Event Floripa or Sao Paulo: $600
- Artistic Exhibition Rio de Janeiro (incl. core logistics): $1,100
- Shared Crew, DJ, Support & Contingency: $300
- Merch for the event: $500

## 7. Impact
This proposal helps expand Lil Nouns beyond governance and social feeds by creating a body of authentic media, physical products, and cultural experiences rooted in real communities. Through Nogglesboard’s network of artists, surfers, skaters, filmmakers, and builders, the project generates original CC0 content that can continuously support Lil Nouns across websites, social platforms, events, and future initiatives. At a time when the ecosystem has relatively limited long-form media and audiovisual documentation, the proposal focuses on creating lasting cultural assets rather than short-term marketing.
By combining artist collaboration, onchain participation, handcrafted products, surf culture, and documentary-style storytelling, the project introduces new pathways for people to discover and engage with Lil Nouns. More than a series of products or videos, it acts as a creative bridge between different communities, strengthening the DAO’s cultural identity while producing a growing archive of authentic stories, visuals, and experiences that remain valuable long after the execution period ends.

I’d like to see a V2 of this proposal.
I’m not convinced starting at 1,000 GIFs is the right scope. I’d rather see a smaller, more curated batch first with a strong quality bar and much clearer category focus before scaling up further.
My biggest concerns are category focus and avoiding repetitive or low-effort edits. I’d like to see a more defined breakdown of the types of GIFs being prioritized and the overall creative direction behind them.
I’d still like to see a lot more examples beyond the single dog-sniffing GIF, which didn’t seem at the same level as some of the stronger Nounish GIF work already out there. I think at least 10 examples would help voters better evaluate the creative direction and overall quality.
I do like the cadence of releasing the GIFs over time instead of dropping everything at once. That approach makes sense.
I agree with the broader goal here. Lil Nouns should absolutely have a stronger GIF/reaction presence across the interwebs
If this version doesn’t pass, I think a tighter V2 with stronger examples and a more defined creative direction could absolutely get broader support. I’d be happy to help champion that version and help rally votes around it.
I’m not sure we actually need 1,000 GIFs...100 really solid ones would probably do the trick. $4k feels like a lot to drop on bulk clips when we could use that budget to bring in fresh eyes. I really liked the original idea of making this an open contest for outsiders....it feels more Nounish to use this as a way to grow the community rather than just paying one person for a huge delivery.
Not inherently opposed to it, but 0.005 does seem a bit on the lower end. The last couple of days folks have been buying on secondary for 0.02 so there is a delta there that needs to be captured.
# Lil GIF Value
I will create and deliver **1,000 Lil Nouns GIFs** for **$4,000** total.
## What’s included:
1. **Quality GIF Creation:** Each GIF will be developed from scratch, averaging 8-10 minutes of production time per GIF. This includes:
- Downloading or cropping original content/movie clips
- Editing for optimal quality and creativity
- Verifying format and finalizing for platform compatibility (15 MB limit)
2. **Variety in Content:** The project will feature a mix of:
- Quick edits
- Original concepts inspired by popular trends (including Scuba Cat style and more)
3. **Multi-Platform Uploads:**
- **GIPHY:** GIFs will be uploaded to GIPHY, ensuring automatic visibility across Instagram, Twitter/X, and other social media platforms.
- **Kiply:** GIFs will be uploaded to Kiply for immediate sharing on Discord.
4. **Scheduled Releases:** The GIFs will be published **week by week** throughout the summer.
5. **Full Delivery:** The entire project will be completed and delivered by the end of summer (August 2026).
## Why should we do this?
This project gives Lil Nouns a ready-to-use library of high-quality GIFs for regular use across platforms.
## Few Notes
- I have been thinking about these Lil GIFs for a while and originally considered running a community GIF contest. However, setting up the platform, managing, and curating submissions would require significant work, including voting and wallet access.
- Additionally, the recent Tenor update and its API have created more challenges in building a GIF voting site. Given all of this, I believe I should start creating Lil Nouns GIFs that we can proliferate and use everywhere.
- I don't know whether this is a low-budget or high-budget project, so you be the judge after the project. If you think I deserve more, you can just thank me by liking and sharing the GIFs.
If this proposal passes, cool. If not, I need better friends… or write better proposals.

If this were a regular daily auction, almost every Lil for the past year would have been burned. If you were against the reserve in Nouns you should also be For lowering the reserve in Lils as it is clearly too high, as evidenced by there being zero demand at 0.03.
I love this idea, would be cool to see if you can get that instagram/social media style frame design they use this days for pictures at events but make it Noggles. All the best.
# Reduce Reserve Price and Increase Update Interval
## tldr
This proposal updates two parameters in the Lil VRGDA contract:
1. Reduce the reserve price from **0.03 ETH** to **0.005 ETH**
2. Increase the update interval from **15 minutes** to **2.5 hours**
The goal is to make Lil minting more accessible during low-demand periods while making rapid, repeated buying less efficient.
---
## Proposed Changes
### Reserve Price
- Current: 0.03 ETH
- Proposed: 0.005 ETH
This lowers the minimum possible mint price by 6x, allowing the market to reach a more accessible floor when demand is low.
### Update Interval
- Current: 900 seconds / 15 minutes
- Proposed: 9000 seconds / 2.5 hours
This changes how often the contract updates the available mint price.
## Why This Matters
The current configuration creates two issues:
- The reserve price can remain too high during low-demand periods
- The price updates frequently enough that buyers can more easily chain purchases as the price adjusts downward
This proposal addresses both issues at once.
Lowering the reserve price improves accessibility for casual participants and new buyers.
Increasing the update interval makes price drops happen in larger, less frequent steps, rather than small updates every 15 minutes. This means that after a purchase pushes the price up, that higher price remains for longer before the next update.
The result is a system that is more accessible at the low end, but less efficient for rapid accumulation.
---
## How the VRGDA Price Works
The Lil VRGDA is designed around three core mechanics:
- Each purchase pushes the price up
- Time without purchases pulls the price down
- The system targets roughly **1 Lil per day**
Because of the current VRGDA parameters:
- Each purchase increases the price by about **1.25x**
- Each day without a purchase decreases the price by about **20%**
- Roughly speaking, 1 purchase takes about 1 day to fully unwind back toward the reserve price
This proposal does **not** change that underlying relationship. Instead, it changes how frequently the price updates for buyers.
## Practical Effect
### Under the Current 15-Minute Interval
After a purchase:
- Price rises immediately
- Price begins updating downward in small steps every 15 minutes
- Buyers can react to frequent price changes
### Under the Proposed 2.5-Hour Interval
After a purchase:
- Price rises immediately
- The elevated price remains in place longer
- Price drops happen less often, but in larger steps
- Buyers must either pay more or wait longer between efficient purchases
This does not create a hard cap or restriction on buying. It just makes rapid sequential buying less efficient.
## Expected Outcomes
### For Casual Participants
- Lower minimum entry price
- More accessible mints during low demand
- Better opportunity to participate at the floor
### For Aggressive Buyers
- Less benefit from frequent repricing
- More cost or waiting required to accumulate quickly
---
## Transactions
### Action 1: Set Reserve Price
- Contract: \`0xA2587b1e2626904c8575640512b987Bd3d3B592D\`
- Function: \`setReservePrice(uint256)\`
- Argument: \`5000000000000000\`
- ETH Value: \`0\`
### Action 2: Set Update Interval
- Contract: \`0xA2587b1e2626904c8575640512b987Bd3d3B592D\`
- Function: \`setUpdateInterval(uint256)\`
- Argument: \`9000\`
- ETH Value: \`0\`
## Closing
This proposal is a targeted adjustment to Lil VRGDA behavior that lowers the barrier to entry while making rapid accumulation less efficient. The core VRGDA pricing logic remains unchanged, but the system becomes more accessible during low demand and more inefficient for quick, repeated buying.
