Although I’ve stepped back a bit from Nouns to focus on my own project, from my perspective Index & Satori have been good stewards and I’d like to see them continue. However, if they had not decided to continue, I think Peter would’ve been a strong choice as well.

# Lil Nouns sponsorship and tribe for CastOut by GM Farcaster
### tldr: .5 eth for Challenge Sponsorship of CastOut the Survivor inspired Farcaster game starting November 3

GM Farcaster is back with another season of **CastOut**, a Survivor inspired game designed to highlight the builders, games and fun found on Farcaster. You can find a recap of season 1 here: [https://warpcast.com/nounishprof/0x2d4eb32c](https://warpcast.com/nounishprof/0x2d4eb32c) and see all the content in the [/castout channel](https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/castout).
This season will be a mix of challenges highlighting some classic Farcaster mini apps and projects, along with some new games/challenges. AND this year we have a new mini app that will assist in tracking game play and give a one stop shop for all things CastOut, as well as new surface area for our sponsors. [Test out the new mini app here](https://farcaster.xyz/nounishprof/0x01bf6d72).
This prop is for a Challenge Sponsorship at the .5 eth level which will include a Lil Noun tribe and sponsorship of one of the challenges. .25 from the sponsorship fee will go to the prize pool in the form of a combo of eth and the purchase of Lil Nouns for the winners of the sponsored challenge.
CastOut will run November 3 - 13, with a special GM Farcaster: CastOut edition each weekday Mon-Thurs at noon ET. Lil Nouns will be featured the day of the sponsored challenge and in all closing credits, as well as on GM Farcaster. Lil Nouns will also be featured on all related casts, in the CastOut mini app, in the GM Farcaster newsletter, and in the **[CastOut channel.](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/castout)**
**In addition, there will be a branded Lil Nouns tribe with five spots reserved for Lil Nouners to play.** If we have more than 5 lil nouners who want to play, we may be able to field an additional tribe or place lil nouners on other tribes. If you are interested in playing, [you'll find the application here](https://app.deform.cc/form/f9110224-38a0-4a88-8484-c76bd31fcfb5).

I like the idea of funding more IRL events but it seems like this may need some more refinement to get over the threshold. I'm also wondering if the yield we already are getting from staking could somehow be redirected?
Seems like a good effort by known builders. Just a note on multiple wallets: I have two wallets in order to be able to have two props up at once. This isn't that unusual.
Best option for reaching a wide audience for minimal cost per person. It's unfortunate that the whales don't see the vision on this one but hoping there's enough support to get it accross the line.
btw this is the furthest thing from a governance attack -- it's an attempt to iterate based on feedback (which we've always encouraged) and the input of the whales currently controlling the DAO.
what-is-your-vision-for-nouns-dao?@0x39a7...aBc0
"Behold, an infinite work of art! Nouns is a community-owned brand that makes a positive impact by funding ideas and fostering collaboration. From collectors and technologists, to non-profits and brands, Nouns is for everyone." not seeing any of this in your vision -- have you had any communication with the Nounders? or any efforts towards that?
> # My Vision of NounsDAO
>
> Over the past several months, I've deeply evaluated and reflected on the development trajectory, organizational culture, and governance challenges faced by NounsDAO. I fundamentally believe in the immense potential of the DAO framework to transform current social coordination and governance. The issues previously experienced by Nouns do not indicate a failure of the DAO concept itself, but rather reflect a failure in leadership and the absence of a clearly defined vision.
>
> From my perspective, we have not yet identified an effective management and organizational model suitable for this new type of decentralized structure, nor have we articulated a clear, executable shared vision. However, I believe these issues are not insurmountable but represent critical governance challenges we must address.
>
> During extensive observation of NounsDAO, I've witnessed invaluable yet harsh lessons, particularly during the fork incident, when I felt the DAO was on a path of self-destruction and zero-sum conflict. Some community members treat Nouns as a corpse to be rapidly divided from its treasury. This led me to proactively acquire more Nouns tokens from the market and deeply engage in community governance discussions. The Break Even Movement was an initial step in this broader effort, aimed at preventing individuals who seek short-term financial gain from accessing DAO funds.
>
> Beyond solving the immediate governance challenges, my deeper ambition is to make Nouns a true experimental platform for DAO theory and practice. We aim to explore and refine fundamental questions: How should a DAO be structured? What governance and organizational models are truly sustainable? How can communication and decision-making processes be designed to balance efficiency with inclusivity? Just as the Federalist Papers laid the groundwork for a new system of governance in the United States, we aspire to produce a new body of work—essays, frameworks, and methodologies—that will help shape the future of DAO governance across Web3. Our goal is for NounsDAO to not only govern well but also to contribute enduringly to the broader DAO ecosystem by offering a clear blueprint for others.
>
> My objective is to gradually form a new leadership team, clearly define and rigorously execute a strategic vision for NounsDAO. **All future proposals will be assessed based on their alignment with this vision.**
>
> My strategic vision involves positioning Nouns as a governance hub within the Web3 ecosystem, providing comprehensive governance frameworks, legal compliance solutions, strategic advisory services, and partnership-building support. As a trusted partner, Nouns will actively assist other DAOs in overcoming their governance challenges.
>
> To achieve this vision, we will set clear, measurable milestones:
>
> - Within one year, establish deep partnerships with at least 1-2 external DAOs with larger treasuries than Nouns, securing delegation voting rights and actively participating in their governance as a key KPI.
> - Create a DAO Ambassador Program dedicated to ensuring effective cooperation with external DAOs.
> - Actively drive the Break Even Movement, ensuring that DAO funds are utilized to support sustainable long-term growth rather than short-term division.
> - Invite cryptocurrency lawyers, academic researchers, venture capitalists, and project founders worldwide to build governance infrastructure together, including regular Governance Summits and a dedicated governance research platform.
>
> Ultimately, I envision Nouns becoming a dynamic hub attracting governance experts and builders from diverse DAOs, collaboratively refining DAO governance practices and establishing NounsDAO as the ideal experimental ground for developing and perfecting effective DAO management.
>
> Note:
>
> For a long time, I carefully considered whether now is the right moment to publish this vision. As the largest voting block in the DAO, any direction we set will inevitably impact members whose views don’t align with this vision. I fully recognize that a clear and strong vision may bring differing opinions and even challenges within the community. However, I am equally convinced that NounsDAO urgently needs this clarity and direction.
>
> I deeply respect the diversity of opinions and needs within the community, but I firmly believe that a clear and resolute vision is essential for Nouns to overcome past governance struggles and achieve sustainable, long-term growth. Such decisions always come with trade-offs and risks, but if we lack the courage to take this step, Nouns will remain trapped in uncertainty. I am prepared to shoulder all the consequences and responsibilities of this action and will work hard to resolve any emerging differences through open communication, transparent decision-making, and active community engagement.
bringing-back-small-grantssmall grants was a great way to onboard as well as test run ideas -- it was my entry point into nouns -- would love to see this make a come back!
wind up DAO&&Just the Flamingo moved to Base and I'm winding up both DAOs. I'll be moving the funds into a new gamified DAO to use as a new experimental DAO.
Fix Metadata Renderer Base&&
## Summary
This proposal updates the DAO’s metadata renderer base URL from `api.zora.co` to `nouns.build/api` to restore NFT image visibility on external marketplaces.
nouns-dao-x-pizzadao:-global-pizza-party-2025-(v2)Worked with Snax on some of the adjustments to v2 -- I think supporting this event is a great opportunity for Nouns not only to support another wide reaching DAO but also to proliferate across 200+ events at once plus the social media content that follows. Also added in this version - a nouns builder DAO that would encompass all attendees and introduce them to Nouns style governance.
Repeating my Nouncil vwr here: I’m voting For BUT with one caveat— bixbite should not be engaging outside attorneys. Any info obtained & any recommendations should be sent to the DUNA admins for further action with the attorneys we already have especially since that would be the only way to take actual legal action and there may be other concerns that need consideration.
Also a general note - if there are any props that threaten our legal status as has been suggested by some, it's on our DUNA Admins and attorneys to flag that and use the the veto if needed.
For some reason, Wylin called me out in his comment and just want to clarify that by "attorney not in good standing" I assume he means not actively practicing law which is correct -- And never have I stated otherwise. That is a term to note when an attorney is no longer practicing for those unaware. Neither have I ever claimed to be an attorney with experience in securities law but have pointed out on occasion that we should seek advice of such counsel on some props.
If this was some attempt to malign my character it was a poor one and mystifying as to why. He seems to be a tad confused so just wanted to clarify here.
vwr written all by myself - no chatgpt needed
interesting concept but two issues: 1) way too much for a initial trial and 2) would prefer to see our attorneys sign off before moving in this direction
PRE-FARCON UPDATE:
We are getting ready for FarCon NYC on May 1-4 with relevant days to this prop Builders Day on Thursday May 1 and the FarCon Summit on May 2. Names of any nounsfolk that applied prior to the Feb 21 date had their names forwarded to the FarCon team and most were approved for tickets. Nouns is listed on the FarCon.nyc website.
For Builders Day: The funds for the bounty and to support Builders Day have been transferred to the FarCon.nyc team and they will distribute the $2500 usdc bounty prize to the winner. I’ve set up a channel on Warpcast -- /nounsbounty -- that will be used for those participating in Builders Day to submit on May 1 and Nouners/Lil Nouners to vote in that channel starting on May 2 at 9 am ET - 3 pm ET using rounds.wtf. I’ll be adding a small amount of $nouns to be used in rounds but the first place prize will be distributed by the FarCon team. More details to come closer to the event.
For FarCon NYC Summit: The funds for the Summit sponsorship were sent to the FarCon team upon passage of the prop. These funds are covering the audio/visual for the event and allow us to nounify the media space and green room. The media space will be in the mezzanine of the Summit venue overlooking the stage and main area for the event. A large banner including nounish branding will be visible from the Summit floor. In addition, nounish branding will be behind the podcast area and visible in all content created in that space. Nounish swag is in the process of being of acquired to be distributed to attendees with Big Shot Klim’s large FUNnoggles to be distributed to Speakers, VIPS and winners of the Nouns Bounty (that will be announced at the Summit).
Next propdate will be the week after the event. Stay up to date in the /farcon-nyc channel and the /nounsbounty channel on Warpcast for periodic updates and reminders.
I've responded to feedback both here and in the Nouncil discord and hopefully clarified this prop. I do think this is a valuable opportunity to proliferate /nouns not only in the Farcaster ecosystem but also via the content that will come from this event. My goal is that every pic or video that you see of FarCon will have noggles, nouns or nouners prominently featured.
Supporting FarHack's Builder Day also feels like a natural fit and we'll be able to include a wider nounish audience in deciding who wins the Nouns bounty. More details on that as we get closer. Regardless of the outcome of the prop, I'm looking foward to seeing many of you at FarCon!
@0x65A3...1D63
great opportunity to support the place we call home and interact with the top builders in the Farcaster ecosystem -- plenty of amazing content will also come out of this event and we'll also be sponsoring a bounty for the hackathon -- imo this is perfectly aligned with Nouns
>
>
> sponsoring conferences is probably one of the lowest EV things we can be doing
>
@0xB159...c85F
I think Nouns Haus is a great add-on to the experience but doesn't really work as well if we're not supporting the community created main event. Unlike some of the much larger for profit crypto conferences, everyone will be at the main Summit if they are coming to FarCon and side events are truly add-ons to enhance the week (not replace it like you might see at NFT NYC or similar large events).
>
>
> I think the Nouns Haus activation is probably a better use of funds for farcon
>
@0x3286...b0d8
Thanks for the support for this! I do think this is one particular event that Nouns is really aligned with. Great opportunity for Nouns to demonstrate support for Farcaster and to reach some potential new Nouners.
>
>
> thank you prof for taking this on. a lot of nouns happens on farcaster, it makes a lot of sense to support the event and have presence there. all for it!
>
@0xd75c...F322
Thanks for your support Pat! Much appreciated! I do want to clarify something here though -- this isn't a podcast/media sponsorship per se -- this won't be Nouns sponsoring GM Farcaster (which I could argue would also be good lol) but it's specifically sponsoring FarCon's media space which is an opportunity available via GM Farcaster's connection as media partner for FarCon, as well as a bounty for FarHack's Builders Day.
So funds from this prop are going directly to the FarCon team to cover audio/visual rental costs, FarHack and for swag/decor for the event itself. That said -- there will be a lot of content from this event that will be shared on GM Farcaster as well as many other podcasts/streams and Nouns will be featured prominently so there will be quite a bit of nounish content resulting from the prop. Just wanted to clear up any confusion there.
And I will figure out the details on bounty voting so that there's opportunity to discuss. It will be either using the FarHack app OR rounds with token gating.
>
>
> We've funded quite a bit of podcasts and media for onchain content, 5e seems a bit high but think it's fine to double down on this initiative.
>
> Overall love the way that Prof has proliferated Nouns and want to keep supporting her.
>
> I'd like to see us set up a time for nouners who aren't at FarHack to collaborate on voting together and look through the builder projects together. Maybe we could turn that into a video as an artifact.
>
> .9% of 1Y inflows, worth it imo

# FarCon x ⌐◨-◨
**tl:dr FarCon sponsorship for Summit and FarHack Builders Day to support the premiere Farcaster annual event.**

FarCon is a community organized event going into its third annual iteration. This year, FarCon will be held in New York City, May 1-4 with a Builder's Day hackathon on Thursday, a full-day Summit on Friday, and various community organized side events throughout the weekend.
Nouns has an opportunity to sponsor the media and podcast area for the FarCon 2025 Summit and a bounty for FarHack's Builders Day. This prop also has built in a swag budget to proliferate to attendees, as well as a spot in the merch area.
* Summit Sponsorship for media/podcast mezzanine space - 5 eth
* Builders Day hackathon bounty - 1.5 eth
* Nounish Swag for attendees - 2 eth
* BuilderDAO purple noggles for distribution to all attendees (already provided by BuilderDAO)
* Merch table for Nouns esports, Butter.wtf and Yellow Collective in the shop area (shared space)
### SUMMIT SPONSORSHIP
GM Farcaster is the media partner for FarCon and will take over the mezzanine overseeing the Summit speaker space with guests invited into our podcast area after their talks. The vision is a nounified space included in all streaming and recorded content. In addition, professionally designed signage with nouns branding will be visible from the main FarCon Summit floor.
In addition to proliferation at the event, the content produced will be available on all platforms reaching a broad audience and will include Nouns branding. Professional audio/video will be on site to capture the event and GM Farcaster will have access to all recordings. We'll also be streaming periodically from all events with the professional final footage dropped after. Nouns will also be included with all FarCon partners on announcements etc.
### FarHack Builders Day
FarCon is opening with FarHack Builders Day hackathon and Nouns has an opportunity to offer a bounty for this event. With this bounty, Nouners will have a chance to pick their favorite project from Builders Day and determine the winner. For token gated voting, we will use the FarHack app. More to come on this closer to the event. This will provide an opportunity for those unable to attend FarCon to participate. Nouns will be featured alongside the other partners and bounty sponsors in Builders Day promotions.

### Nounish Swag and Merch space
As part of this prop, Nouns will have an opportunity to gift nounish swag to attendess. The plan is a mix of FunNoggles, pins and Nounish Friends from Big Shot Noun Works for Nouners & VIPs, Purple noggle sunglasses (Moti noggles) already provided by BuilderDAO, and other merch designed for this occasion for maximum proliferation of Nouns, Lil Nouns and Nouns Builder DAOs.
In addition, there will be a space reserved in the merch area for Nouns esports, Butter.wtf and Yellow Collective to sell nounish merch.
### ABOUT FARCON
**So what is FarCon and why should Nouns be a part of this event?** The first FarCon was a community organized 2 day event held in June 2023 in Boston with 70 Farcasters in attendance. This small but powerful inaugural event included a panel on DAOs sponsored by BuilderDAO, paper noggles and some other swag provided via a BuilderDAO prop. Purple (a DAO built on Nouns Builder) was also a sponsor of this and the second FarCon. Chris CoCreated from various nounish communities also had a creator session. Even in this small first FarCon, Nouns was prominent.

In 2024, a new crew of Farcasters brought FarCon to Venice Beach with a bigger event over 4 days with a one day Summit, hackathon and multiple side events. GM Farcaster opened day 2 with a live interview with Farcaster co-founders Dan and Varun in their first podcast together (with noggles on stage and on all branding). We followed that with two panels exploring onchain media. This event included Bagels and Builders sponsored by BuilderDAO. AND lots of purple noggles!

FarCon is community organized with the encouragement of the Farcaster founders but is not organized by them. As one of the largest communities on Warpcast with Farcaster incorporated into so many of our props and projects, it's a natural fit for Nouns to be one of the sponsors and supporters of FarCon. This also will provide a great proliferation opportunity not only at the event itself but via the content created during and after.
Nouns has been permissionlessly profliferated at FarCon and now is a great time to make this support official at the only officially unofficial Farcaster conference. The total ask for this prop is 8.5 eth to cover the FarCon Summit sponsorship, Builders Day bounty and swag.
For more about FarCon, visit the [/farcon-nyc channel](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/farcon-nyc) on Warpcast or https://farcon.nyc/. Applications to attend FarCon and Builders Day are open now through February 21. Apply here: https://farcon.deform.cc/apply/?page_number=0
For questions about FarCon, GM Farcaster or this prop, reach out to [@nounishprof](https://warpcast.com/nounishprof) on Warpcast.
NOTE: GM Farcaster Network LLC is a Florida entity and happy to provide tax information when needed.

# Lil Nouns x GM Farcaster
### tldr: Multifaceted collab between Lil Nouns and GM Farcaster to proliferate Lil Nouns in the Farcaster ecosystem and beyond via media & event sponsorship.
GM Lils! This prop seeks to proliferate Lil Nouns in the Farcaster ecosystem as well as via the GM Farcaster podcast on all of our channels. This prop has 5 parts:
⌐◨-◨ 2 month sponsorship of GM Farcaster highlighting Lil Nouns on our 3x/week show.
⌐◨-◨ Sponsorship of the GM Farcaster brunch at Eth Denver
⌐◨-◨ Prize pool sponsor for the next season of CastOut
⌐◨-◨ Launch of Lil Poker, a GMFC new stream
⌐◨-◨ Budget for Lil Nouns purchases on auction for giveaways/prizes
Each of these provides both proliferation of Lil Nouns to a DAO friendly audience and benefits to Lil Nouners. Total ask for this prop is 7.5 eth.
---
### ⌐◨-◨ 2 month sponsorship of GM Farcaster highlighting Lil Nouns on our 3x/week show. 2 eth/month (4 eth total)
GM Farcaster is the premier Farcaster news show with 208 episodes onchain and online plus multiple bonus episodes and includes interviews with Farcaster and crypto builders. We currently stream live three times a week with some episodes strictly Farcaster news and others including interviews. We currently stream live on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@GMFarcaster) and [Twitter](https://x.com/ProfWerder) with recording dropped on Spotify, Apple and wherever you get your podcasts, plus on [pods.media](https://pods.media/gm-farcaster) as a collectible nft with a v2 frame that allows for watching/listening right on Warpcast.
Coming up next week we'll have interviews with Luca Netz of Pudgy Penguins and Dan Romero, Farcaster co-founder, in his 5th appearance (he will be appearing monthly moving forward).
For this sponsorship, Lil Nouns will be credited on all episodes with at least one episode each week highlighting a cast involving Lil Nouns or Lil Nouns builders and/or showcasing the Lil Nouns auction live onair. At least twice a month, we'll purchase a Lil Noun live for giveaway (see below). Lil Nouns will be shouted out on Warpcast for sponsored episodes and in all show notes.
In addition, Lil Nouners will have an opportunity for a free 2 month [GM Farcaster Hypersub](https://hypersub.xyz/s/gm-farcaster-cup-o-wowow-o7e04az2169s/2) subscription during this sponsorship (mole tier) which will provide additional benefits such as airdrops of special episodes, event access and merch shop discounts (coming soon).
NOTE: every episode of GM Farcaster has included Lil Nouns noggles on my ears for every show plus ⌐◨-◨ on screen next to my name. We'll add some Lil Nouns branding to our background/overlays.

---
### ⌐◨-◨ Sponsorship of the GM Farcaster Brunch at Eth Denver (1 Eth)
Last year, GM Farcaster sponsored a meetup for our Hypersub suscribers at Eth Denver and this year we are expanding it. On Saturday March 1 we're hosting a meetup at Punchbowl Social in Denver. As part of this proposal, Lil Nouns will be one of the title sponsors and featured on all RSVP frames and promotion as well as at the event itself.
This event is a karaoke/arcade brunch in the mezzanine of Punchbowl Social with 2 private karaoke rooms, pool table, arcarde games etc. This will be a cozy morning meetup. Lil Nouners who will be in town for Eth Denver will be invited to attend with 10 tickets set aside exclusively for Lil Nouners.
In addition, we'll re-dress our Lil Pudgy mascot from last year with Lil Nouns noggles for all of our merch and branding.

---
### ⌐◨-◨ Prize pool sponsor for the next season of CastOut (1 Eth)
CastOut is a survivor inspired game where all the challenges occur on Farcaster. (see [/castout on Warpcast](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/castout) to learn more) We've done 2 seasons thus far and are planning the next one for the end of March/early April. This has proved to be a fun way to showcase projects and builders in the Farcaster ecosystem and provide an interesting game for the community. The 1 Eth from this sponsorship will go directly to the prize pool for the winners of CastOut.
Lil Nouns will be featured on all episodes of GM Farcaster CastOut edition and will be on the [/castout](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/castout) channel banner and all marketing. In addition, a tribe will be reserved exclusively for Lil Nouners. (5 players per tribe)

---
### ⌐◨-◨ Launch of Lil Poker, a GMFC new stream (1 ETH)
Yes, I'm bringing back the Lil Poker idea! This will be a 7 week trial run of a poker game stream where the players are on video/audio chat while playing. It will serve as an opportunity to chat about what's happening in the Farcaster ecosystem and showcase builders from FC and Lil Nouns. Funds from this part of the sponsorship will provide for the prize pool and for the sponsorship for this stream.
Ideally, we want to stream this on Abstract with recordings on our usual channels. We are awaiting for Abstract streaming access. If we are unable to get access to stream on Abstract, we'll use our usual GMFC streaming platforms. This will start on Friday February 7 each Friday in February and March, except for February 28 due to Eth Denver.
Lil Nouns branding will be featured on the poker table and in the credits. Two seats for each game will be reserved for Lil Nouners to play each week. In addition, a Lil Noun will be purchased on auction as a prize for the grand champion of this mini tournament.

---
### ⌐◨-◨ Budget for Lil Nouns purchase on auction for giveaways (.5 Eth)
Lastly, we're requesting a budget to purchase Lil Nouns live on air for use as prizes for CastOut (1) and Lil Poker (1), as well as giveaways for the Eth Denver Brunch (3) and for promotion of our collab. (5)
In addition, I'll be offering a degen tip to anyone who purchases a Lil Noun on auction during the two month sponsorship. (will need to cast, tag me, and I'll confirm - tip amount will correspond with token id). This is dependent on Degen tip availability but I do not anticipate any issues.
---
My goal with this prop is to see if we can drive new traffic to the Lil Nouns auction via the different activations noted above, as well as providing new benefits to Lil Nouners. This also will drive more general awareness of Lil Nouns on Warpcast but ideally I'd like to see some direct results from this effort and will be tracking it.
For those unfamiliar with GM Farcaster, I encourage you to visit our [/gmfarcaster](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/gmfarcaster) channel (14k followers) on Warpcast and [NounishProf's](https://warpcast.com/nounishprof) (74k followers) and [Adrienne's](https://warpcast.com/adrienne) (128k followers) profiles to get a feel for our show and influence on Farcaster.

Repeating my other vwr here: All 3 candidates are qualified and offer different types of experience that would be good for this position. My view is that Index should have selected a reserve admin and added it to his prop which was my suggestion before it went up. Therefore, I'll be abstaining on all 3 reserve props but do believe any one of them would be good for this role.
Wylin - I appreciate the amount of research into 501(c)(3) and DUNA that you've done up until now and your knowledge in that area. I hope that when the time comes to explore those options that a specific role can be carved out for that.

Bixbite - I appreciate your dedication to Nouns, Nouncil and Lil Nouns and do not want you to think this speaks to your experience or qualifications. Thank you for all you do in this ecosystem.

Although I'm not convinced we needed bylaws for a DUNA (under the law), I do think it's helpful as a tool to lay out expectations. These capture all the key issues and I appreciate that they have been made cc0 for other DAOs to use (and I've shared that with Nouns Builder).
