## What got built in 2026 so far (Jan–Mar)
Hosted livestreams with proposers on TikTok: trying to support proposal passage. Proposals failed. Amplification doesn't really work without aligned voting power. Haven't stopped doing that, continue to help where I can but reality is not many proposals making it, s/o nounsvitational 2026.
DJ for X spaces: hasn’t meaningfully increased engagement, morale feels near all-time-low. Seems the space has shut down (hopefully unrelated to my DJing) so I will be forced to stop doing that.
Open voting rounds attracted mercenary behavior. Stopped doing that too to focus on better grants methods. As part of "noun hackathon" research mentioned in last update, designed new ways to interact with Nouns at the contract layer, especially from IRL contexts. Built a series of devices + software experiments and new contracts, now bundling into an artist-focused client and expanding resources:
https://noun.wtf is live as an experimental webapp:
- SmallGrants contract for 24hr funding cycle https://noun.wtf/grants
- Artist upload surface for derivatives and media, now building a daily collaborative canvas 2D/3D
- Agent layer (nounirl.eth) you send tip + define traits → auto settlement (og dreams concept)
- Real-time multiplayer 3D world (PartyKit, spatial VOIP, rigged avatars) will add 3d nounish assets from Sebastien and coralorca https://noun.wtf/world come test with me
- Terminal interface → direct contract interaction (props, votes, bids) *turned off atm*
- Prediction market resolving against governance
- Drop party system (onchain item deposits → in-world pickup) + TreasureChest contract for item distribution
- Early zk / spatial passwords / natural language interface and native phone app experiments
These things can now serve as PPP / fun ideas to hack. Embracing Nouns as a game and everything is a prototype undergoing testing so expect things to break, ~9 months since the prop to take the nogs and stop the bad guys psyop (nns have now fully rugged and gone from governance). Here’s where noc is at:
## Financial
- ~$14k in Nouns distributed (+ 5 more via proposal over Xmas to nouns enjoyers)
- ~$12k in small grants to builders and artists (mainly ppl at noc on fc: https://farcaster.xyz/~/channel/noc)
- ~$6k in R&D / prototyping and materials — computers (pi zeros, pi 3s, macbook air m4), printers (bambu, brother, mini thermals), furnace + sand casting, embroidery machine (brother), metals (copper/silver/gold), textiles and fabrics, electronics and components e.g. pi monitors, dome enclosures, AI inference, hosting.
Most of the treasury sat in MOG which is down significantly. ETH not exactly saving anyone either. Still funded everything above plus everything below.
## Now Launching
### Hack the Treasury
- 0.42 ETH deployed into the new onchain grants contract **(unaudited)**
- 24hr funding cadence
- Best ideas get funded directly or someone hacks it / drains it

## Physical layer produced/producing
- Duckhead has created 100+ nounish resin toy prototypes
- He is now exhibiting in a Bangkok toy fair (well outside crypto-native context)
- Looking into options for limited vinyl editions
- Engage! : https://x.com/_duckhead/status/2035370561724170333?s=20
Also produced/producing:
- Silver nounish charms + coins
- Embroidered nounish vintage clothing (soon launch)
- Nounish devices (crystal ball, touchscreen builder), planning to open source builds
Limited supply of physical items to be distributed via nounish ice cream truck + online store.
Building native surfaces around the daily auction and Nouns contracts is the way to go. Less “distribute and hope” and more environments where people interact directly with the protocol. I want this to be an area of exploration for hacks and hope to add more eth to the small grants treasury should this find success. I will continue to post in noc on fc, share posts for the X account and send worthwhile updates here.
Ice cream truck touring Costa Rica soon, spreading nounish vibrations!!!!
