agreed on DAO upside. would love to either:
- price the root revnet in nouns
- split a significant % with the DAO
happy to explore this with the broader community. the first option feels more aligned? we discussed on lils call today delegating curation tokens to community members who show strong interest in curating, so probably need to try to do both either way. eod - agreed we dont want to become the next agora.
re: vc validation, not sure why you think we need validation from VCs? i think we could pretty easily raise a seed round, not sure what that would show. dao has funded plenty of things for larger amounts that had no venture investment. we're trying to forge a better path
anyways, appreciate the feedback!
+1
> I appreciate the vision and contributions that Rocketman has made to the ecosystem — Flows is one of the most ambitious attempts to reimagine bottom-up funding in crypto. However, I will be voting NO on this proposal for the following reasons:
>
> 1. DAO Has No Long-Term Stake in $FLOWs Token.
> Flows is moving toward a tokenized revnet system, and yet Nouns DAO — the only funding source to date — is not explicitly included in the token design.
> Without equity, protocol fees, or token allocations for Nouns, there is no structural mechanism for the DAO to benefit from Flows’ upside.
> We’ve seen this before with other projects that launched tokens after being incubated by the DAO, only to exclude Nouns from the long-term value loop. **I do not want Flows to become another Agora.**
>
> 2. Funding Scale Requires VC Validation.
> Flows already received significant early-stage support from the DAO, well beyond what traditional incubators would commit.
> A follow-on ask of $575k should ideally be de-risked through outside validation.
> If the team can secure venture support — and I’m happy to help introduce them — I would feel more comfortable backing the next round of DAO support. VC validation would show that the tokenomics are sound and that Flows is building a market-aligned, sustainable product.
