Huge fan of this proposal for a lot of reasons. Love the idea of Nounish in-person activations. Prior history of success. Eyes = builders = flywheel. And the vibes are immaculate. Couldn't be more excited to support this team. Let's ride! - House of Nouns team

# House of Nouns v2 (revised) ![Proposal Lifecycle](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Proposal+Lifecycle+Small.gif) This is a shortened version of our proposal. [**Read the full proposal and Q&A here.**](https://www.notion.so/collectivexyz/House-of-Nouns-v2-final-revision-97873114f37141b6995116178a76df00?pvs=4) # Tl;dr We’re seeking 95 ETH of funding to continue developing House of Nouns for the next five months. Our goal is to expand House of Nouns from an MVP for voting into a full suite of tools that enables proposers and voters with an ideas board, drafts, feedback, Nounish integrations, and more places for discussion. Most importantly: We will open source the end product, so anyone can host, build on top of, and monetize the deliverables in this proposal. Nouns will have permanent access to House of Nouns via the open source infrastructure. *This is our third and final revision for House of Nouns. We have reduced the original budget by ~60% in USD, from 340 ETH ($420,000) to 95 ETH ($160,000). [Read the full proposal.](https://www.notion.so/collectivexyz/House-of-Nouns-v2-final-revision-97873114f37141b6995116178a76df00?pvs=4)* *Visit [houseofnouns.wtf](https://houseofnouns.wtf) to view our current MVP.* # Mission Improve Nouns governance by empowering Nouns to contribute, find consensus before going onchain, and vote confidently. # Why open source? Primarily, open source ensures that House of Nouns will always be able to exist, regardless of any future funding. This creates public infrastructure for DAO governance that can be used by anyone, forever, funded by Nouns. Additionally, there is no centralized value capture for [Collective](https://twitter.com/collectivexyz) (the company building House of Nouns) or anyone else. Anyone and everyone can build on top of it. We believe the open-source, permissionless approach is inline with the ethos of Nouns, versus the alternative of closed-source, licensing of the product, subscriptions, or advertising. # With 20 ETH from Prop House, we’ve… - Created an MVP used by ~26% of Nouns (incl. holders, proposers, & delegates) - Over 100% month-over-month growth (MAUs & views) - Fostered proposal discussion that is nowhere else - Become a go-to client for voting and discussion # Deliverables These are the deliverables we’ll guarantee to build over the next five months. We move quickly, and we’re excited to go above-and-beyond where applicable. ### Pre-proposal Drafts Client - Goal: Makes the pre-proposal process public and collaborative. - Proposal drafts & versions, saving time with tedious markdown editing & feedback - Proposal templates - Inline commenting with ETH identities - Public revisions - One-click promote to onchain ### Ideas Client - Goal: Post early stage ideas, generate support, and promote to a draft. - Reddit-like platform for voting on ideas - Upvoting and commenting tied to ETH identities - One-click promote to draft or “looking for sponsor” ### Open-source Infrastructure - Goal: Eliminate barriers to building on Nouns governance, and allow anyone to self-host - API for all governance, discussion, profiles, etc. - Open source repository - Technical docs ### Public good for all Nounish DAOs - Feed for activity across your DAOs - See to-dos and notifications across DAOs - Support for all Nouns forks ### Integration of Nounish tools - We will use building blocks from the Nouns ecosystem where possible - Some ideas include but are not limited to: - Prop House voting - Agora delegate profiles - Federation DAO-to-DAO governance - Nouns AI pod summaries & context - Nouns Atlas search # Budget We’re requesting **95 ETH for 5 months** for full-time development work from a team of four developers — or ~5 ETH/developer/month. After revising our proposal and speaking with numerous members of the community, we believe this is fair and in line with standard service development costs. We believe this budget is easily justified for deliverables that will positively impact decentralization, participation, and decision-making. # Team - [dadkins](https://twitter.com/dadkins_): longtime crypto hacker - [Wojciech Kocjan](https://twitter.com/w_kocjan): frontend & design engineer - Jamal Hashim: ex-Amazon, blockchain engineer - John Cairns: longtime crypto builder, ex-Gemini This is a condensed version of the proposal.

I wanted to proactively share some answers to frequent questions we’ve been getting: Aren’t you VC-backed? Yes, we are. That’s why we’ve geared this prop to deliver an entirely open-source, openly owned codebase — so there is no centralized value capture, and anyone can host, build on top of, and monetize the end deliverables. We think this completely aligns incentives and will help build a strong, open ecosystem. What does open sourcing mean here? This means everything from the repo to the APIs will be open access, so people with varying levels of technical acumen can clone and re-host and build on top of House of Nouns. We’ll also be doing continual data dumps to Arweave for any offchain data. Budget? While ETH is going up in price, we’ve decreased our prop’s total cost by ~$100k. We heavily increased deliverables and the speed at which we deliver them. We’re looking for 9ETH/month/developer, which is less than any other active developers for Nouns. We think that deliverables and actual matter the most, and think they are very justifiable for the cost of 190ETH in terms of the long-term impact they can have on the DAO’s success. Integrations? We’re looking to be as open and composable as possible. We want to integrate the amazing work of others everywhere it makes sense, versus create clones and replicate any functionality. We want to be a bridge between the disjoint governance infrastructure in the ecosystem. Thank you for your time sers <3

# House of Nouns v2: Public Good ![Drafts Demo](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Drafts+Demo+Sped+Up+2.gif) ![Ideas Demo](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Ideas+Demo+Sped+Up+2.gif) # TLDR *This is a revision of our previous House of Nouns proposal. Based on feedback from the community, we’ve reduced the budget significantly, clarified our goals, provided product mockups, and answered open questions.* tl;dr: We’re asking for 190 ETH to fund 5 months of development for [House of Nouns](https://houseofnouns.wtf) v2. Our MVP has seen tremendous traction, growing 100% each month, and proving to be a critical piece of infrastructure for governance. Now, we’re looking to build the best-in-class pre-proposal client to kill Discourse, create a layer for generating Nounish ideas, open source our core infrastructure, and expand to all Nounish DAOs. This will return value to the DAO via better decisions, increased participation, powerful infrastructure that the community can build on, and proliferation of Nounish governance. We believe that governance is THE bottleneck for Nouns’ participation and ultimate success. And we’re here to fix that. Click here to view this proposal on House of Nouns. # Background [House of Nouns](https://houseofnouns.wtf) was previously funded with 20 ETH through Prop House. Our mission is huge: fix Nouns Governance and empower its contributors. We saw tremendous success in our basic MVP from October through December: - Discussion on House of Nouns that exists nowhere else - Usage (MAUs and pageviews) grew >100% month-over-month - Continual expressions of love and support from the community - A go-to client that streamlines governance and prop discussion ![HON v1](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/HON+v1.png) ![Prop Debate](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Prop+Debate.png) [(a debate on Proposal 202)](https://houseofnouns.wtf/proposals/202) # Deliverables Our MVP was just a small part of the vision for House of Nouns: a full suite of supercharged governance tools, for all Nounish DAOs, built on open source infrastructure that anyone can extend. Here are the key components we’ll build into House of Nouns v2. **Pre-proposal client.** Discourse is starved of life, and HON v2 will streamline everything that happens before a proposal goes on-chain, saving energy and empowering contributors to do their best work. - Rich discussion layer for getting feedback on a draft - Inline commenting on specific parts of a draft - Templates and multiplayer editor for creating proposal drafts - Ability to revise and re-release versions of a draft (like ProductHunt, or this House of Nouns prop) - Imported data from Discourse for backwards compatibility - One click to promote to on-chain, or have a sponsor do it for you - *(Note: see demo at top of prop)* **Ideas client.** Aligning the DAO on what matters is essential; we want to help contributors know what the DAO is excited about. - Reddit-like platform for generating, voting on, and rewarding ideas at the earliest stage - Backwards compatibility and integration with Prop Lot API - *(Note: see demo at top of prop)* **Open-source infrastructure** to enable the next 100 governance clients. HON v2 will eliminate all barriers to building on Nouns governance, and improve decentralization. We don’t want to be the last great governance client; we want to be the first of many. - API for all governance data, discussion data, Nouner profiles, and more - SDK for easy integration of client components to other platforms - Frontend repository for House of Nouns website - Technical documentation to help new Nounish builders launch their governance apps **Public good for all Nounish DAOs.** The success of Nouns is directly correlated to the success of Nounish forks; HON v2 will proliferate Nounish governance and drive value back to Nouns through forks (beyond ones created through Nouns Builder, like Lil Nouns, SharkDAO, etc) and branding ⌐◨-◨. - See activity from all of your Nounish DAOs in one feed - Keep track of all urgent to-dos and notifications across DAOs - Full House of Nouns functionality for all future forks of Nouns - *(Note: We’ve already been funded by Nouns Builder to support their DAOs. Extending to non-Nouns Builder forks is a minimal effort on our side, and neither of these integrations contribute heavily to this prop’s budget. However, we wanted to ensure that we committed to it explicitly here, because we do see it as an important public good to support a future ecosystem of diverse forks.)* **First-class integration with other Nounish tools.** HON v2 will be your single looking glass into the rabbit hole of Nounish governance. - Agora delegate profile data - heyanoun anonymous commenting - Federation DAO-to-DAO governance - Nouns Atlas search **New & improved core governance tooling.** You asked and we heard — we’ll be delivering a faster and improved experience on core proposal tooling. This includes an improved UI, much faster loading, notifications for new proposals, enhanced profiles, and other improvements. **Moving beyond.** We move quickly. While we don’t want to overpromise, we’re also excited to go above-and-beyond with **social media data indexing, contributor profiles, and a post-proposal client** once we ship our core objectives. These will provide richer context and data, more functionality for DAO alignment, and greater transparency for the community. Most of all, we want to make governance fun and easy instead of a chore. # Budget, team, and sustainability We’re requesting **190 ETH for 5 months** for full-time development work from the team. After revising our proposal, we believe this is in line with standard service development costs seen in coming out to 9.5 ETH/developer/month. This will be spearheaded by: - [dadkins](https://twitter.com/dadkins_): longtime crypto hacker - [Wojciech Kocjan](https://twitter.com/w_kocjan): frontend & design engineer - Jamal Hashim: ex-Amazon, blockchain engineer - John Cairns: longtime crypto builder, ex-Gemini For the sake of transparency, House of Nouns is by Collective, which is a VC-backed company that has expertise in NFTs and community tooling (previously launched MomentRanks.com and grew community tooling to 50,000+ Flow blockchain users). That being said, we want to make sure this is a self-sustaining and fair investment for the DAO; as such, the end goals include open source infrastructure and self-sustainability for the product, and the budget reflects what we think is a fair pricing for development services. We plan to offer bespoke upgrades to other DAOs similar to Red Hat’s monetization model, as well as charging hosting costs for larger communities. These upgrades will be built into the broader platform and framework for all users. To reiterate, **Nouns will have permanent access to the product open-source base infrastructure from this proposal, and future upgrades for other DAOs will improve upon this base layer, meaning Nouns receives HON v2 and reaps the benefits of future compatible upgrades.** # Testimonies ![Testimony 1](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/testimony1.png) ![Testimony 2](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/testimony2.png) ![Testimony 3](https://collectivexyz-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/testimony3.png) …and many more <3

Definitely one of the more existential proposals so far. I love the development of open source, scalable infrastructure. I've had a couple of issues with the website but think they'll get sorted out easily. It begs the question for Nouners: what should the revenue model of these third parties be? Can people expect to build open source stuff and be compensated by Nouns, or will these third-party platforms expect to monetize thru subscriptions/ads/etc? We've had some of the same questions at Collective/House of Nouns.
