yes, but prop house needs to become a dao. it solves for the fundraising issue, allows prop house to onboard more contributors to advance protocol development, allows prop house to capture value from its proliferation of the nouns meme through auctions. ideally we see this launch as a nounish dao of which nouns can be a part owner.
# Lil Funding + Post Pilot Data/Content Pod Funding Request
TLDR: Replicate Nouns DAOs process in allocating fast capital to DAO contributors via small/retroactive grants. - Refunding same wallet with 25 ETH, send 15 ETH to Data Pod multisig, and 10 ETH to Content Pod Multisig.
## Intro
The on-chain proposal process is not ideal for encouraging small, one-off, or alpha versions of projects/tooling. Eager creators shouldn’t have to wait days for an on-chain proposal to be passed to receive a small amount of ETH. The DAO should not have to submit a formal proposal each time it wants to quickly reward valuable contributors.
## Lil Funding Pool
We propose establishing a pool of funds and Lil Nouns NFTs to encourage creators, devs, artists, and contributors to build with Lil Nouns. This pool of capital and NFTs, will be sent to a Gnosis Safe controlled by a small group of Lil Nouners and Lil Nouns DAO.
Proposed budget: 50 ETH
- 25 ETH for lil funding directly
- 15 ETH for Data Pod (see below lil funding prop)
- 10 ETH for Content Pod (see below data pod prop)
## The aim of the pool will be to:
Acknowledge past contributions to Lil Nouns through retroactive funding
Grant funds for the development of small, one-off, or alpha version projects
Reward ongoing contributors to Lil Nouns
Signal that retroactive funding is a viable path to build on Lil Nouns
Return Lil Nounder ownership back to to the community.
As part of this proposal design, the Lil Nounders expressed a desire to return a substantive portion of their ownership back to the community. To action this desire, they’ve recommended that every 90th Lil Noun will be sent to the Lil Grants safe to be given to community members.
## Funding Committee
The Lil Funding Committee will monitor the builder community, retroactively fund previous work as it comes up, and receive informal requests/applications for small project grants. The projects and amounts will be at the committee's discretion.
The committee’s gnosis safe will require 2 of 5 Lil Nouners to sign, with Lil Nouns DAO acting as a largely symbolic owner and backup. We recommend keeping the signer group small with a team of experienced signers and then add more as we scale up operations and size of the pool.
The signers on the Safe are:
Lil Noun 482 [lil world](https://twitter.com/blequitydao?s=21&t=4kcOclyQ3vWWyCfsl39odg)
Lil Noun 129 [lil john](https://twitter.com/john_c_palmer)
Lil Noun 317 [bflynn](https://twitter.com/Flynnjamm)

Lil Nouns DAO
Lil Noun 449 [lil al409](https://twitter.com/7x7x7eth)
Lil Noun 1579 [Baba ⌐◨-◨](https://twitter.com/_babaBlake)
The committee is open for any Lil Nouners to submit suggestions for grants and contributors that they see as deserving of a reward.
## Submitting Requests
Current State:
[Submissions can be posted here](https://discourse.lilnouns.wtf/c/lil-grants/6)
[Template for a funding request here](https://discourse.lilnouns.wtf/t/lil-funding-application-template/302)
Future State:
We are excited to begin our pilot of [AddressBoard](https://prop.house/proposal/1211) to begin taking wallet gated funding requests, allow for community to delegation weighted vote on ideas to reflect sentiment, and also comment and reply directly under a proposal. This tool will also incorporate a budget that is a reflection of the amount of ETH allocated for lil funding that has not yet been spent to help make budget informed decisions.
# Data Pod
Data pod mission is to organize Nounish information, to make it accessible, insightful, and useful. For the past months, Data Pod has been providing on-chain data reporting and insights to the community and building data infrastructure for Lil Nouns DAO.
Past work of Data Pod includes Governance and Treasury reports, several Dune dashboards, lilnounsmetrics.com, a Treasury forecast tool, deep dive analysis and recurrent on-chain data support to the community.
Recently, Data Pod was one of the winners of Nouns Mandate Prop House with the Nouns Metrics project (https://prop.house/proposal/1178](https://prop.house/proposal/1178), which, due to the interoperability between Lil Nouns DAO and Nouns DAO, will allow to bring some of the tools built under the scope of Nouns Mandate also to Lil Nouns.
Data Pod funding will be used to reward ongoing contributors and to fund building an infrastructure data tool that will make on and off-chain available from a single point of contact for Lil Nouns DAO.

# Content Pod
Content Pod is here to gather and present Lil nouns’ information in exciting, Nounish, and informative manner.
Currently, content pod is running a [pilot](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/42) where it is funding the DAOs top content needs; from onboarding, to creating memes, to creating social media content.
The pod is an experimental structure whereby it allows for a combination of Open Scope and Closed Scope work. This request is a continuation of the scope from Prop 42 to continue funding content and operations
setDescriptor(address)# Descriptor V2 Upgrade + 8/8 Anniversary Art
This proposal activates a new version of the Nouns Descriptor contract, which contains many improvements upon the previous version. The Descriptor is the contract that stores and renders Lil Noun artwork and token metadata.
**Descriptor Improvements:**
- Significantly cheaper on-chain art deployment, which largely benefits builders that fork the Nouns protocol. The gas required to deploy the Nouns artwork has been reduced nearly 5x.
- Improved external API, which boosts composability by allowing external contracts to more easily hook into the Noun artwork and rendering engine.
- Improved descriptor upgradability. The new descriptor separates the artwork, renderer, and facilitator contracts, which enable much cheaper upgrades (e.g. trait retirement).
This upgrade is forked from Nouns DAO. Code has been reviewed by multiple technical community members, has unit/integration test coverage, and has been tested on both Rinkeby and Mainnet.

- [Nouns DAO Prop - Integrate 8/8 Anniversary Art](https://nouns.wtf/vote/125)
- [Specification](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-tech/blob/main/descriptor-v2/README.md)
- [Pull Request](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/499)
**Artwork Upgrades and Patches**
This proposal introduces lil versions of all 8/8 Nouns DAO anniversary art additions (8 heads, 3 accessories, and 2 glasses).
In addition, we’ve retroactively fixed eight art errors and oversights, including one token metadata patch. These fixes will not only apply to art moving forward, but will reach back in time to correct Lil Nouns that contain the offending traits. All fixes are either recoloring of existing pixels or removing of extra pixels or reassigning hidden pixels. Most errors are likely a result of iteration and palette color reduction prior to the launch of Nouns and Lil Nouns - some that melded two colors into one, or put two formerly-different colors closer to one another.

# Acquire ENS Domain -- LilNouns.eth
## **Acquire ENS Domain -- LilNouns.eth**
[DeanWincheseter.eth](https://twitter.com/) aka Huge Package has listed the ENS Domain -- [LilNouns.eth](https://https://app.ens.domains/name/lilnouns.eth/details) -- for sale onchain to Lil Nouns DAO. The on-chain offer is only executable by Lil Nouns DAO and represents an opportunity for our DAO to acquire its first ENS domain.
We propose Lil Nouns DAO purchase LilNouns.eth for 2 ETH.
### **Why ENS?**
ENS is the dominant domain name service on Ethereum with over 1.12M names, 503 integrations, and over 400k owners. ENS is community owned and governed inline with the LilNounsDAO model of onchain operations.
#### **Details on LilNouns.eth**
- Domain is registered for 3+ yrs.
- Does not expire until May 10 2026
- Sets LilNouns up with a long term, onchain identity.
- DAO can use LilNouns.eth domain for purposes of subdomains.
#### **Temp Check**
Several members of Lil Nouns DAO have expressed excitement in acquiring the LilNouns.eth ENS domain. A quick temp check for the acquisition can be found in the proposal idea discussion on [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/954142017556979752/979255080933023764).
Ask (as represented in the Proposal transaction): Spend 2.00 ETH from the Treasury to purchase ENS Domain -- LilNouns.eth.
