I present to you, [the Bowlcut head trait](https://gallery.noundry.wtf/trait/6574cf46c4e7aa32f47e3077) *(by Gremplin)*:

My first entry to web3 was via CrypToadz (Created by Nounder, Gremplin). There are already Toadz with "Nounish" glasses (noggles) and I think it would be amazing to add a trait from CrypToadz into Nouns.
My favorite CrypToadz trait, the bowlcut is hilarious and looks so so good as a Noun head asset.

**My proposal is to add this head trait to the NounsDAO collection both because it's awesome and also adds amazing lore to the Nouns x Toadz relationship.**

Move to BASE L2&&OK- this proposal is for:
- Migrating to L2 Chain
- L2 Chain is BASE
- Voting delay changed to (2) days
- Voting period changed to (2) days
(These were options recommended by Builder DAO website)
Auctions will be cheaper and the BASE community is very supportive of projects that use their chain!
New DAO Artwork via ilustradora&&Excited that [ilustradora](https://twitter.com/ilustradoraeth) is open for doing this- amazing artist!
Our pixelated Lil Toadz will be hand drawn in her style as cute, teeny, lil tiny toadz. She will be drawing all of the individual layers for 1 ETH.
This should bring some attention to our Lil DAO and will create some demand as we switch over to Base L2 soon!

*I have not added any transactions to add this head to Nouns asset library! If there's interest in this proposal, I'll need some help with the technical things!*bowlcut-head-trait-nouns-x-cryptoadz
Change Auctions to 1 Day&&With gas being an issue and auctions slowing down because of the expenses, I'm proposing we make the auction times 1 day (24 hours). This can help with the auction time and the expenses of settling.

GHFamily Nouns DAO Proliferating For Generations&&<p><strong>TL;DR</strong></p><p>A DAO building a community of Nounish families, and creating a family focused mobile and web app to drive engagement. This family DAO experience will make it super easy and fun to welcome families into Nouns to create Nounish things together. Using Nouns Builder, the DAO will bring together the community while funding the development of a family friendly platform for Nouns.</p><p>The overall vision for Family Nouns DAO is to proliferate Nouns and do good for families across the world at scale. </p><p>This prop is to fund a new DAO with the remit to enable effective community engagement, build a family friendly front end, web and mobile app, as well as create characters and experiment in family friendly governance.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://hackmd.io/@ChrisCoCreated/familynouns" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PLEASE CLICK LINK FOR FULL PROPOSAL WITH IMAGES AND LINKS HERE!</strong></a></p><p>--</p><p><strong>Why</strong></p><p>So families create together, have fun together, learn together, and most importantly proliferate together. Providing a family-friendly access point into Nouns. It will take generational change for Nouns to have its full impact, this prop starts to lay the foundations to bring in the next generation.</p><p>The fun, absurdity and accessibility of Nouns makes a rich, creative space for different ages to create with each other. Bringing families together with Family Nouns will benefit improved mental health, relationships, education, and reduced stress. Our goal is for families to have more fun, do more good, and spread more nounishness. And as a result, share the positive impacts with their friends, creating a positive self reinforcing loop.</p><p><strong><em>“The best thing for me about Nouns is that my 9-year-old daughter is into it with me”.</em></strong></p><p>We will make it easy for families to get involved in Nouns together, maintain motivation, and create a simple on-ramp into Nouns, community governance, and web3.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Public Goods & Proliferation</strong></p><p>Nouns has the potential to bring hundreds of thousands of families to create together and in doing so, can generate significant social benefit.</p><p>The family is a massive subculture that we can activate in a significant way. Most families are already a bit nounish; they like to have fun and make the world better. We’ll make it easy to become fully noun-pilled.</p><p>Families are great proliferators. They tell other families. They play with each other and the meme spreads. Families and young Nounish creators also make for great stories. This is the Family Nouns flywheel.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Vision</strong></p><p>The vision is for these kinds of stories to compound through network effects:</p><p>- A 12-year-old girl noun-pills her Dad, becomes the youngest member of Nouncil, is a fractional owner of a Noun with her Dad, and recently spoke on stage about Nouns in Australia.</p><p>- A Nounish professor convinces her teenage son to create a Nounish collection and work together with his mom! What teenager does that?</p><p>- A nounish dad co-creates all things Nounish with his 9-year-old daughter to the point that she enters The NounSquare contests on her own and releases her own AniNouns collection to the world.</p><p>We want to spread this Nounishness and bring in 100, 1,000, and 100,000 more nounish stories like these. We want to reach existing nounish families and those not yet familiar with Nouns and activate the family subculture.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Challenge</strong></p><p>It is currently difficult for families to create on Nouns because there isn’t an experience designed for parents and children. From our experience as parents wanting to bring our kids into nouns there are 3 key reasons:</p><p><strong><em>1. Community experiences don’t work for the kids in our lives (twitter, discord, spaces etc)</em></strong></p><p><em>- They don’t have a profile</em></p><p><em>- The content isn’t directed at them.</em></p><p><strong><em>2. Finding and creating activities takes time</em></strong></p><p><em>- Time poor families need it to be easy</em></p><p><strong><em>3. When they don’t get feedback on their creations they aren’t motivated</em></strong></p><p><em>- They want a place to share and people to care</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Proposed Solution</strong></p><p>Utilizing a DAO structure, we can collaboratively create the app and other tools needed to bring this community together. We will create a platform to nurture a community, build an app, and develop an ecosystem for nounish families to come together, create and share.</p><p>This will be provided through an app (web, iOS and Android), discord and socials (collectively the platform). The app will be the main point of participation. We will use socials to engage with parents and to share the families creations with the wider community.</p><p>The platform, focused on 4-12 year olds and their parents, will include the development of new activities, integrate existing Nounish family-friendly activities, and bring future activities into a single experience that builds a strong family-focused community.</p><p>To make the platform as accessible as possible we will focus on the nounish experience, not the technology. It will be a Web2 platform in the first instance, focused on ease of use and enjoyment. Web3 elements are on the roadmap, with the intention for users to be able to ‘bridge’ their assets onto a web3 chain.</p><p>The focus for this prop is to get the core experience working well and becoming sticky with the beta testers who we are nurturing as the early adopters and core community.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Community</strong></p><p>We will build a community of families creating together with Nouns. This will provide encouragement, fun, friendship, and support in the nounish family journey. Through this prop we will establish the early community of 50-100 families, some already nounish and some not-yet nounish, who will beta test the experience.</p><p><strong>The Community will provide a place to <em>do things</em> together:</strong></p><p><em>- Contests to create together and then share with the community, as well as collective efforts as a community</em></p><p><em>- Gamified ecosystem that rewards users for daily activities and community engagement with native tokens, POAPs, and leaderboards</em></p><p><em>- Creative ideas, thought out and prepared for busy families to easily start creating together. No fuss. No hassle. Just jump in. (“Family creative fun in a box”)</em></p><p><em>- Encouragement for families to get together and do stuff</em></p><p><em>- Activity collabs with other Nouns communities such as “baking cookies with Food Nouns”, "grind with Gnars"</em></p><p><br></p><p>The Community will provide a place for <strong>belonging</strong>:</p><p><em>- A natural place and way for families to gather together in this new world of a nounish journey</em></p><p><em>- A place to bring friends and families you know to share in the fun and creativity</em></p><p><em>- A place to potentially reach out to families facing challenges, bringing creativity and fun</em></p><p>We will explore standard options like Twitter and Discord, but will also seek to creatively use tools that are natural to web2 families ranging from email to IRL and everything in between. How we do this most effectively for families will be an experiment.</p><p>The core of the family experience will be the app which provides the space for families to find activities, share what they create and get positive feedback.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>App</strong></p><p><strong>Build an app that enables families to find nounish activities and create and share together.</strong></p><p><strong>Features:</strong></p><p>- A platform that brings together all nounish activities for families into one easy to use experience where families will be able to:</p><p><em> - Make a family pfp and profile</em></p><p><em> - Create a nounish pfp in-app, using traits that you earn for completing and sharing activities. Create a profile about your family and all your family members.</em></p><p><em> - Do nounish creative activities, including:</em></p><p><em> - Family Noggles Selfie</em></p><p><em> - Nounish poem</em></p><p><em> - Make an animal Noun</em></p><p><em> - Nounish dress up</em></p><p><em> - Create a story about today’s Noun</em></p><p><em> - Collab coloring</em></p><p><em> - Make family generative art</em></p><p><em> - Create with Noundry</em></p><p><em> - Noun cookie baking</em></p><p><em> - etc etc etc</em></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span><a href="https://www.notion.so/Activity-Examples-0f25b3e8e32046de9f091b07dc65d6d4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><strong>- some example activities here</strong></a></p><p> <em> - Activities will be pages on the app with instructions and links to resources</em></p><p><em> - Share creations</em></p><p><em> - Upload photos, share screen shots, or paste in text</em></p><p><em> - Get rewarded with tokens</em></p><p><em> - Tokens are non-monetary, an in-app “points” system.</em></p><p><em> - View and like what everyone else has created</em></p><p><em> - Take part in daily competitions (tokens as prizes)</em></p><p><em> - See where you are on the leaderboard</em></p><p><em> - Trade tokens for traits on your family pfp</em></p><p><strong>Timeline: </strong></p><p>2 Months from funding, using agile development in response to team and user feedback.</p><p><em>The app will initially be released for web, and will also be deployed on iOS and Android</em> (we are building with <a href="https://flutter.dev/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(25, 103, 204);">Flutter</a> which makes this straightforward with minimal cost)</p><p><a href="https://www.notion.so/App-Brief-f31c8fe8b0244a28b8d9beb5e5f53e06" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>App Brief</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Art</strong></p><p>Commission artists in the community to produce three specific Nounish characters for the DAO to be used as assets in the app, and on socials and community platforms.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Governance</strong></p><p>We will start to bring elements of governance to the family.

# Noun Sounds: Empowering Musicians + Community

## Music + Memes = Universal Language ⌐◨-◨
[
](https://vimeo.com/789846068/87184a7277)
WATCH VIDEO: [https://vimeo.com/789846068/87184a7277](https://vimeo.com/789846068/87184a7277)
In our [first proposal](https://nouns.wtf/vote/139), we built a robust music website in which the audio has been used on **countless Twitter Spaces, podcasts, videos, on-chain proposals, contests + more (The Rose Bowl Parade!).**
This 6-month proposal provides the time, funding and resources Noun Sounds needs to take our ecosystem to the next level. Already in conversations with iconic musicians and reputable foundations- we will make a major ripple in the lives of musicians, music fans, music education and overall- **Nounish proliferation.**
Over a 6 month period, our goal is to onboard and empower musicians, build upon the existing Noun Sounds platform, create a DAO structure and develop new systems for **musicians and music lovers to create, share and participate in Noun Sounds**- building a self-sustaining community around all things music.
## **Total: 245.5 ETH**
*(See bottom of proposal for funding breakdown)*
## Proposal Outline
From January-June 2023, Noun Sounds Pod will:
→ **Empower + Onboard Musicians**
→ **Further Develop Nouns Sounds Platform**
→ **Nounish Partnerships**
→ **Create Noun Sounds DAO**
## Empowering + Onboarding Musicians

One of our top initiatives is to empower musicians through funding and community building. Our initial conversations include:
- **Large-scale Artist 61ETH**
- **Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang Clan:** *in discussions about making a CC0 song and sound pack for Noun Sounds + a photoshoot with the Noggles glasses. Ghost has millions of fans and he digs the Noggles.*
- *If the collaboration with Ghostface Killah does not happen, the full 61ETH will be sent back to NounsDAO*
- **Indie-artist 23ETH**
- **Lisa Caruso:** *A talented indie artist from Australia, Lisa has had her music featured on major network TV shows and has released a slew of cool music and visuals. Our plan is to create a Nounish E.P. and sound pack with her + a mini-doc following her creative process.*
- **Prop House x Noun Sounds 19.5ETH**
We will be leveraging Prop House rounds for musicians to onboard new talent for songs, sounds, music videos and more. One Prop House round every month for 6 months:
- **2ETH x 5** - *Musicians will submit their music catalog and NS voters will choose (5) artists to make a new Nounish CC0 song/beat.*
- **1ETH x 5** - *Musicians will submit their music catalog and be hired to create a CC0 sample pack containing loops and samples.*
- **.5ETH x 4** - *Creators can make a video for Save The Music with the purpose of amassing educational content for students (i.e. “How To Play The Guitar 101”).*
- **.25ETH x 10** - *Anyone can submit their audio catalog and NS holders will vote for artists to create new CC0 sound effects and real-world sounds (i.e. recording the ocean or other foley sounds)*
## Further Develop Nouns Sounds Platform

Part of our MVP was building out the PLAYground section of the Noun Sounds website. Building upon this, we will be creating new tools and features within the NS platform as we grow our pod:
- **Mint Playlists: The Nouns Player**
- Meet the **Nouns Player companion**: A free *“Winamp”-style audio player that will be able to pull music from Spotify, read from the playlists and allow you to enjoy each **curation**.*
- Creators will be able to mint playlists of songs and podcasts from their catalogues. Taste-Makers and Curators will be able capture a moment in time and create communities around each of them.
- This not only allows artists to create but also empowers one of the most important thing in music: **curation**.
- *Each Nouns Player will have the option of creating custom skins for their companion.* Thus, the Playlist Creator will come along with an **Album Art and “Skins” creator tool** for the music player.
- These playlists will allow creators and curators to offer token gated content (on their websites or through channels in their discords) based on each of their mintable playlists.
- **Artist Profiles**
- *Artists and creators* will be able to setup their own custom page to showoff their catalogue and give updates. You’ll be able to read about their work, see what packs they’re just released, or check out what playlists are currently minting.
- **Profesional** **Music Creator Tools**
- **VST Instruments:** *Offering tools to experienced musicians*, we will be creating professional instruments that can be used in music-making programs. From keyboards, vocals, synths, drums and more- music makers can download, install and get to making their own Noun Sounds within their existing audio workstation.
- **Soundboard:** A fully functional CC0 soundboard on Noun Sounds for use across all Twitter Spaces and more. One of our most requested features.

## Nounish Partnerships

Partnering with **[Save The Music](https://www.savethemusic.org/)**, we will proliferate the good vibes via IRL impacts and educational experiences. Save The Music partners with school districts and local communities to build sustainable music programs. Noun Sounds will start by running a Prop House with STM and include the partnership in future DAO proposals, while assisting them in the web3 landscape.
## Noun Sounds DAO

Using the Nouns Builder, Noun Sounds will create a daily auction to onboard new users into the Noun Sounds ecosystem. Holding a Noun Sounds NFT allows you to put proposals on chain, vote on proposals and have an overall voice in the direction of the Noun Sounds treasury and growth.
## Costs Breakdown
**103.5ETH -** Onboarding world-renowned and indie musicians via collaborations and Prop House rounds.
**67ETH -** SuperTightWoody- DAO partnerships, operations, music/content production, music communications and community management.
**67ETH -** Papaya - Platform upgrades, CC0 music onboarding flow, mintable “Winamp”-style Nouns Player tools: playlist maker via Spotify API and custom player “Skins” art tools, professional CC0 music tools: DAW/Kontakt VST and soundboard.
**8ETH** - Reserved for lawyer fees; we will need contracts and legal advice on releasing creators music as CC0.

I love Nouns. I love Mr. Beast. Mr. Beast is very Nounish.
I am a no on this specific proposal strictly because of the funding mechanisms and structure. I think the layout is a bit too vague on guidelines for the public + how we will get this message outside of the Nouns bubble (i.e. Aubtoshi would be a fantastic face for this on socials for announcing it etc.). This IS a fantastic idea and has sparked some amazing conversations in Nouncil and Twitter Space rooms within the community.
My main worry is:
1) We have no control over what people will do for $250k. I see a ton of wonderful things happening here but also see how the 1% of people could really hurt the reputation of Nouns IRL via some dumb ploy to get Mr. Beast's attention. Again, love the concept, maybe we can lay this out with some stricter guides.
2) I would double the 500 to giveaway/make a video. Mr. Beast is getting so much money right now and we are technically an NFT collection (no matter how much good we do or how much we think he would love Nouns, which I THINK he would).
This all being said, I thank you all for taking the time to think of this cool concept and would love to see another iteration of this! Would be great for Nouns and cool to see all of the Nounish things people do!

I like the builder and the potential for more external proliferation, but this is a no for me in it's current form.
Yes, it's a lot of money but the overall structure of the proposal is vague and not exciting on paper. I think a proposal this large (if it has the votes internally or not) should help with making the community understand what they are doing and why it's exciting. There are numerous ways to do this via videos, spaces, interviews or AMA in a Discord etc.
The other thing I would have liked to see is a smaller ask up front with benchmarks and timeline for additional funding periods.
This is going to pass and I am actually excited to see the potential outward proliferation here, would like to see others in the community excited as well via a communicative proposal layout with community engagement ❤️

Aubtoshi with Nouns OTG and SB out here doing amazing things!
This proposal is jam-packed with value for the DAO and displayed as such. The fun, the reach, the amount of Nounish vibes here are incredible.
Call us root beer cuz we on a FLOAT!
Also, this prop is #Ugly af 📦
I personally see the value in creating this high quality content. May seem a bit much for the DAO at the moment (based off of current votes), however I do see a massive benefit in having some amazing Nouns "stock" videos we can use for any overarching branded content or publicity etc.
As this video will not really be used to get "views"- my advice (given current vote swing) would be to maybe lower the cost and come with an entire media broadcast package: a few 5 sec Nouns intros, title cards, lower 3rds etc. with both mov files and After Effects files.
Love the videos you have done and look forward to you working within the Nouns world!

Nouncil is one of best places for voting discussion, organization surrounding DAO conversations, onboarding new builders and way more. Nouncil changed the way I learn, communicate and work within the DAO and continues to do so.
UglyDAO approves!
After careful consideration, we believe this is very #ugly
Proposals will have to be produced at a higher level as the Discord closes and this is a natural way to allow the community to expedite the process of figuring out quality vs. quantity for on-chain props <3
This is a great initiative for Nouns overall but there needs to be more meat on the bone here. What is the message? What are the visuals? Could we empower some artists and people from the community on these billboards?
It's not a big ask for what we are looking to do here, just think we need a "hell yeah- this is exciting!" moment and not a "sure, let's do some marketing" vibes.
Mind-blowing innovation here. Very Nounish. For those who have not had the pleasure of being on the weekly AI calls in the Discord: There are so many avenues here for not only creating new tools, images, video, music, meme-able content and more...but also, helping push the envelope and place Nouns on the cusp of this AI revolution. UglyDAO approves this message.
