I only had a small amount of engagement with the DUNA admins this year, but from what I’ve seen, Index and Satori have run things smoothly and delivered. Supportive of another term.

Back our winners. Quack and Lola has been a huge success, and Atrium’s been an awesome partner to Nouns. The Noun GG crew has handed out hundreds of Q&Ls at our events, and you can feel the joy when couples and kids receive them. This Nouns-funded project spreads happiness in a way you can see. Quack and Lola isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and neither should our support. +1 > Pretty wild to call Quack & Lola extractive. By far the most successful project we've funded to date. "At a glance" section is inspiring. Congrats to the team! +1 > Quack and Lola is one of the only nounish endeavors that has actually managed to pierce the veil and make an impact on people completely outside our bubble. My wife has sent me Quack reels without even realizing. Reward winners so they can go win more. ⌐◨-◨
one of the coolest features of nouns is our ability to keep evolving the body of art. we should support the artists who put the time and effort into thoughtfully growing the nouns collection. someone will love to be a nounish walrus
FastFall$ is our third major event of the year and a pivot from what was previously called "The Staredown ⌐◨-◨" We moved the event from Raleigh, NC to Niagara Falls, NY. Better venue, stronger support network, and a great opportunity to activate both the Greater Toronto Area and Upstate New York scenes in one unified event Announcement Post: https://x.com/nounsgg/status/1947337866368946406
+1 > Nouns and PizzaDAO represent two of the most approachable and community-driven projects in crypto. Over the past two years, collaborating with PizzaDAO has introduced the DAO to communities around the world, amplifying brand visibility and allowing people to experience a piece of nounish culture firsthand. These activations are not just about pizza, these are decentralized gatherings where community is fostered and the nounish ethos is shared. The energy and enthusiasm at these events reflect the spirit of Nouns: open, bold, and globally inclusive. > > PizzaDAO is a uniquely aligned partner. Their ability to activate communities around a simple, universally understood concept like pizza mirrors the mission to make nounish culture accessible and fun. PizzaDAO events provide a space for nounsfolk to gather and connect. This cultural alignment has proven powerful in strengthening community bonds, and I hope to see it continue well into the future. > > Supporting this proposal is an opportunity to continue the momentum of past collaborations, extending the reach of nounish culture to even more local communities. With the event only 10 days away, this is the final shot to support. Time is running out, so we should align on this proposal and make it happen. IMO it's a miss for Nouns to be absent! +1 > After spending time with the PizzaDAO group all I can say is holy crap is this a wild undertaking by their team and I am here for it. With the event around the corner, I think the team should pivot to maybe some PizzaDAO x Nouns Merch using slice.so as I dont think the Nounish physical goods will make their way on time (just a thought). Still think this is a good activation to be a part of especially after Brave made PizzaDAO their landing page. This is a proliferation of Nouns/top of the funnel activation and we should view it that way imo.
+1 > Flows is one of the more unique concepts on Web3 that I routinely bring up to others to help pique the curiousity of others in Web3. From my observance and curation of the eSports flow, it has brought in multiple newcomers to web3 who are passionate and driven about their communities. I may not fully understand the potential token models being explored but I'm a believer that one of them will offer positive net gain with the right builders. > > IMO, it is overzealous to state that this is the only project on the table to change the DAO's trajectory but I can appreciate the passion and urgency of the proposers. This new iteration of flows, in order for it to survive, needs to engage only with builders with similar drive and understanding of what flows is aiming to accomplish. We are working together to build community, proliferate Nouns, and ensure Nouns is here for the long term. > > This is Flows' sink or swim moment, best of luck to the proposers!

+1 > Hello, I want to start of by saying that I want this project to succeed and all my comments are an attempt to make that happen. I'm a Licensed Civil Engineer in the States with 10 years experience (Commercial Land Development, Public Infrastructure) and currently work in a multi disciplinary engineering form (Civil, Structural, Process, Architectural, MEP, Landscape, etc) > > 1.) Have you considered splitting the prop into phases such as (Design and Permitting, Construction, Marketing)? Items discovered during design can often increase the cost of the project and delay schedule. It's very rare to have a detailed construction budget at the beginning of a project before design that remains valid. Having it split into phases will protect you and the DAO (highly recommend) > > 2.) Has this construction firm ever worked on public infrastructure such as a medical center? On my first glance it appears they were focused on residential construction. A more detailed portfolio of projects they worked on would be great > No mention of civil design. The renders and photos of the site indicate a good deal of civil design work that would be needed (pavement/pavers, a culvert for the driveway crossing the channel out front, potential need for storm water management features). I've encountered the situation frequently where Non-Civil engineers are quick to take on Civil design tasks because they appear “easy” and make costly mistakes. > > 3.) Would you be doing the Construction Administration and QA/QC work or will this be done by another company/individual? > > 4.)Overall cost appears very low for a new building and site. Have you seen a comparable facility in the region go up for this price? > > 5.)No cost provided for demolition of existing building? > > 6.) Are you interested in having 3rd party reviews of design plans/specs? I am willing to look at any civil plans and calculations for free. If you want additional disciplines reviewed, I could talk with my coworkers. > > 7.)Have you confirmed this is all the medical equipment that would be needed by staff? > > 8.)Who will ultimately own the facility after construction? > > Love what this project is trying to accomplish but I think this should be done in a more phased approach. If you want further input or need clarification, feel free to reach out. +1 > @0x6E61...2D47 > > GM thanks for responding, I'll keep the feedback flowing. i realize i messed up my numbering in my first comment. My apologies for any confusion that may bring > > 1.) What I meant by phases is that you would revise the prop so it only covered design+permitting. Once the final design is in hand with all permits and a cost estimate is done, you would submit another prop for the funds needed for construction. Again, I highly recommend this. > > 2.) Could you or the construction company provide a list of projects they constructed and for who? > > 3.) Prop has no mention of civil design or civil cost items. Civil is a discipline of engineering that is outside the building (pavement, grading, stormwater pipes, utilities) These items are not <$500 / miscellaneous. > > 4.) Lets get those individuals listed on the prop with their experience and the role they will have. > > 5.) Good to hear that a similar facility was put up for this cost, however, I still have some doubt. i think addressing item 1 would make this go away. > > 6.) No cost given for demolition of the building. I understand the construction company has given you a price for construction, however, thats always subject to change if design+permitting is not completed > > 7.) Just let me know whenever you want draft plans/specs/prop reviewed. > > > > > > > > > @otterfodder.eth > > Thanks for the response sir , it's highly appreciated. > > Every details and response given here is highly acknowledged sir .The details in this prop is for for a standard health centre not standard hospital sir > > *Hospital is larger in size than health centre > > *Service offered in hospital is more larger than health centre and many more. > > > > All the prices given have been confirmed by the construction company and the staff. > > 1. Under the budget breakdown (item 1) I think it has been attended to . > > 2.yes > > 3.will be done by the Nouns team in Nigeria and other individual in the area of expertise. > > 4. Health centre not hospital sir . > > 5. Miscellaneous expenses will be used sir . > > 6.yes > > 7. Yes > > 8.This a public health centre,the local community > > > > > Theres a lot of variables in building and site construction that can't always be seen at the beginning of the project. IMO, Funding this in 2 props, one for design+permitting, and the second for construction should be the route forward. This is a very common practice with good reason. I'm open to helping you draft the design+permitting prop/scope.
+1 > after four years of shots on goal(s), it is clear to me that the best of nouns is its people. having mechanisms that attract, reward and retain old and new is important! it is what keeps the wheel churning. > > through building prop house and rounds, i've learned a lot -- all of which we can see in flows (and a whole lot more!). these types of systems are what allow us to continue to grow the bottoms-up community that is nouns. > > rocketman and riderway are talented builders who deserve our vote of confidence to continue to do what they do best. good luck! +1 > the forever problem of governance is that high quality governance is hard and painful (a lot of effort, skill, and brain damage involved) and as a result is in short supply. > > companies solve this by allowing concentration of ownership and financial outcomes (large shareholders are motivated to elect the right management and go through the brain damage of corporate governance b/c they get the bulk of the financial outcome). > > this doesn't quite work for nouns b/c culturally we reject the idea of a single person (or a few people) controlling the nouns treasury spending decision unilaterally and their motivation overwhelmingly being driven by personal financial profit. > > that's reasonable imo. we would reject such a thing for our local city governance as well (nouns is more like a city than a company imo). but for city governance there's a degree of civic duty and lock in. when governance devolves too much (SF recently where I live), living conditions becomes unbearable and while many ppl leave (many tech ppl went to miami etc) at some point ppl like garry tan (who grew up on SF) that are never going to leave b/c it's their home and where their livelihood is built just start taking ownership b/c there's no other choice. city revenue is also raised through taxes. dues are collected from everyone and spent for everyone (though applied progressively) and it's forced. > > i don't quite know how nouns governance is supposed to work long term. governance is hard and painful. you can't take over enough control of the governance to substantially privatize the financial gain b/c that would nuke the project. ppl aren't locked in and revenue isn't forced. i get why nouns could be a city ppl might love to live in. but would anyone pay to be involved in governance (something that is inherently hard and painful)? > > i don't know the answer to this question. but what i do know is that any answer involves creating more leverage to ppl providing the scarce good governance. maybe they like nerding out about nouns. maybe they spent enough years and benefitted from nouns in one way or another and feel a sense of civic duty. maybe they are a nouns business and have some aligned financial incentive even if not a controlling amount. we need to take that which is given to us and SOMEHOW leverage that to govern the whole system effectively. prop house (token voting, gardeners, farcaster likes) attempted that but wasn't enough of an answer on its own. AI seems to be the only plausible new frontier to create leverage. if somehow we can determine who's providing the scarce good governance and train AI models to act on those inputs with infinite patience and attention, then maybe we have a chance. this seems to be where vitalik's thinking is going with regards to open source (public goods) funding as well. > > another frontier is to reintroduce market mechanisms to aid portions of the governance decisions ("futarchy" is a buzz word ppl talk about which allows you to buy and sell each prop / governance decision). TCRs? revnets? to be honest i'm generally a bit more skeptical about this direction b/c i don't know if market mechanisms are really well suited for public funding decisions (so many pitfalls) but i do think it's a genuine additional frontier that we admittedly haven't explored much > > this ended up being a super long rant but all of this is to say, i don't know the ins and outs of what's going on here but directionally i think it's exploring a super important meta problem of governance for nouns and given there aren't any projects more promising in this realm (and we're lucky to have someone as talented and earnest as rocketman leading it) i just think we need to let him cook
Had to sit on this prop for a while but ultimately decided to vote FOR due to the reasons outlined below. Here are a few points I want to address: SharkDAO has been largely inactive, yet the Prop 711 team managed to persuade a single member of our multisig (1/5 hotwallet) to vote FOR this proposal, despite SharkDAO having abstained from voting on almost every other proposal in the past year. Although the proposal passed via Snapshot, I personally don't believe SharkDAO should selectively vote based solely on individual multisig member interests. It should either vote consistently on all proposals or not at all. This selective voting subsequently appeared to influence 0xjanedoe's decision, as their VWR explicitly referenced SharkDAO’s engagement on the prop. I was disappointed with how hard the 711 team pushed SharkDAO and individual members to receive these votes. I find it odd that esports was mentioned in the propdate, given how sparse communication has been between our projects. After Prop 711 passed, I proactively reached out to their team to collaborate. However, their response was a suggestion for our esports team to purchase 7 ETH (1 billion NOGS) to set up a delegation program, which felt inappropriate since both our projects are funded by Nouns. Just nine days ago, they reached out again this time wanting to purchase our merch for the noggles club and proposing to delegate esports (and other communities) 500M NOGS each specifically to counter the "AGAINST EVERYTHING" voting block. So this is the extent of our collaboration and plans at the moment. We initially discussed potential collaboration back in April 2024, which ended with them saying "let me dive into the esports mint and create some ideas." However, no collaborative follow-up occurred for essentially nine months until after Prop 711 passed. Most interactions I've had with their team have been centered around requests for vote-related support on their proposals. All this being said, if the project continues receiving DAO backing, we (esports) will do our best to collaborate and support. I've always been uneasy about the inconsistent distribution model for NOGS. Some nounish communities have received tokens seemingly for free, while others have been required to pay. Still others appear to have been entirely overlooked.
Frankie & Will have consistently put in the work to showcase their value to Nouns, and this proposal is an opportunity for them to prove it on a bigger stage. I get that when people flex big names, there's skepticism, but they've demonstrated real connections and a commitment to our community. This is a big swing on sports, but with builders who are accessible and highly dedicated to Nouns. I’m excited to see what they can do.
simple as, and their food & business reception has been overwhelmingly positive from everything I've seen. bones is always available to talk shop. hope to see the deli standing strong as a melbourne institution a decade from now +1 > i always talk about nouns deli when telling folks about nouns
A prolific artist wants to collaborate with Nouns to create lasting public art, something that could endure for decades, maybe longer. This project isn't just eye candy, it also has real utility. The proposal checks all the boxes of the Nouns mission: ✅ Does good ✅ Can create positive externalities ✅ Is absurd in the best way (KNW) ✅ Educates people about crypto and Nouns With Mike leading the charge, execution is a given. This is exactly the kind of initiative we should be backing.

Flex has been proliferating Nouns for years, commissioning and curating new art that expands its reach. Just look at TezNouns and the artists he’s already brought in to create on top of the Nouns primitive: objkt.com/collections/KT1BCVdzWPeR1BnjdsCeDRwhkXfRXEDjYwMh I have strong conviction in his efforts to grow Nouns’ mindshare among artists. The best part? This project is built to last and can thrive even without him in the future, thanks to the infrastructure that'll be deployed. It’s a fun and creative experiment that will inspire more people to embrace the cc0 nature of Nouns. Strongly supportive!
Nouns is one of the most well-known teams in the Pokémon Unite scene thanks to this squad and these players are beloved for being wholesome and charismatic competitors, which is an extremely rare trait among the best in the world. OG Nouns community members. IMO not asking for much given the amount of time and effort they put into the project.
through the test of time MTG has always been considered one of the best trading card games. The community obviously loves collectibles and would be awesome to have someone in the pro circuit representing Nouns in the future +1 > "Magic the Gathering is a top tier game." - PizzaDAO Governance Crew
I really think this revised proposal did a great job at addressing previous feedback with the commitment to return 25% of sticker revenue to the DAO upon successful Major qualification. This is the most direct an esports roster has been aligned with the DAO's financial interests and even allows for this proposal to be profitable. While there is inherent risk tied to the team's competitive performance, this uncertainty mirrors the speculative nature of the crypto market, adding an exciting dimension to the proposal. Competitive uncertainty is what makes esports engaging and hopefully the financial tie provides Nouners with an extra layer of excitement when watching the team. I have strong confidence in Coach Eric "adreN" Hoag, whose tenure with Team Liquid led to significant achievements, including multiple international championships and substantial earnings for the roster. For a comprehensive overview of his coaching accomplishments, you should check out his Liquipedia page. https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/AdreN_(American_player) Additionally, if you're interested in understanding how well he aligns with the Nouns community, adreN is very accessible on platforms like Discord and Warpcast. His deep understanding of both the game and the Nouns community makes him an ideal leader for this initiative. Just this week, we had a new member of the DAO join from the Counter-Strike community (reposted their VWR above). Due to having their own form of digital collectibles, I think that CS remains one of the most blockchain-friendly esports. Thankfully, it's also one of the biggest in the world, with one of the largest player bases and highest viewerships. I believe that out of any of the major esports, this is the one to invest in. We already have substantial support in the community, and with continued focus, we can deeply intertwine Nouns and CS. +1 > The potential for onboarding in this community is immense due to its in-game marketplace of NFT-like digital goods worth billions, of which Nouns has its best opportunity yet to join. Personally speaking, I never would have been exposed to Nouns if not for the CS team's presence in the scene. > > Counter-Strike has been around for over 20 years, it's one of the longest running esports and has an actual history with a seriously resurgent grassroots. Our scene in North America has been neglected since COVID and because of that, people here have a real fondness toward Nouns for investing in our region. It would be a massive missed opportunity to stop supporting this team now when they're on the cusp of immortalizing the brand in one of the most historic and prestigious esports titles that exists. > > The last thing I want to impress upon voters is how personally people connect with their customized weapons via stickers. It's a real and genuine avenue of expression with a very nounish culture of sharing and creativity associated with it. The opportunity to get noggles in the game this summer would permanently cement the brand in the minds of players and fans of a game that is here for the long-run.
Some of the best ambassadors we have. I hope the team finds their footing within the community. Would vote For on something revised from them that keeps the roster representing Nouns in 2025. To the broader community: If you have the time, please look at how the Counter-Strike (CS) community is engaging with these proposals. They really want for Nouns to be participatory!
Since the inception of Nouns Esports, I and a few other contributors have always put forward proposals on behalf of the players so they could focus on competing at the highest level. That’s a structure similar to the traditional esports model, where we act as “agents” between the DAO and the team. But in the last six months, we switched gears and asked every roster, starting with the FE team, to submit their own proposals directly to Nouns. This way, they can prove they have the Nounish competency needed to be genuine ambassadors rather than just wearing the jersey. It also opens up a more “à la carte” decision-making process for the DAO and hopefully inspires more gamers to propose onchain. I want to add context from my years working in esports and make a strong case for any future CS proposals. Nouns has already made real strides in Counter-Strike: recently under Coach AdreN, a Grand Slam winner respected across the scene, and longtime Nouns contributor Mach, who has been supporting Nouns Esports since we started. The men’s team competes at top-tier international events, where salaries follow a traditional sports model. AdreN worked with players’ agents to settle on rates of $2.5K–$4.5K per month, which is still below many other sponsored NA squads. Sponsoring a team of this caliber means they can reach millions of viewers and potentially place ⌐◨-◨ stickers in the game if they qualify for a Major, an achievement that could bring substantial revenue through in-game sales. Meanwhile, the women’s team faces a far smaller sponsorship pool and set their own requested rates in this proposal. Without Nouns, it’s likely they would remain unsponsored. With top female orgs folding, having Nouns behind them places them near the top of their scene in terms of stability and visibility, even with a smaller audience. Players like Lunari and Jess have changed the meta of what it means to represent Nouns in esports, demonstrating it’s possible to compete at a high level and remain deeply involved with the DAO, opening a new path for us within gaming. While the men’s and women’s teams aren’t apples to apples, both can serve the DAO in different but meaningful ways. Because of how this vote is going, many in the CS community worry we’ll exit altogether. Most of them can’t simply buy a Noun to show support, so they’ve stepped up in other ways: coverage by the top NA CS publication (https://www.dust2.us/news/56771/nouns-cs2-budget-vote-appears-likely-to-fail), a 2,500 zero-weight vote poll (https://x.com/nounsesports/status/1876751250307354807), and comments on social media (https://x.com/nounsesports/status/1875686183357022333). We’ve already enshrined Nouns in Dota, and there’s a parallel opportunity in CS if we stay committed a bit longer. Partnerships with brands like adidas and Matcha often stem from our presence in top-tier esports, and continuing to support both teams can help us proliferate Nouns in one of the world’s largest competitive gaming scenes.
