Memo 0xc0d0e4e3…0b541b on Ethereum

Hey chiming in here with a quick note on Agora. First, I'm biased here cause I want to see Krel/Camp team succeed, and generally am excited to see folks building nouns tooling. Thats' why we've stayed out of this vote to not bias voters. Apologies if my silence has appeared to be absence. Hopping back in briefly to correct the record here on our involvement in Nouns thus far and for the future: Nouns Agora is very much being actively maintained, worked on, and used by many in the community. We get a little over 7000 monthly unique visitors, which is roughly on par with nouns.wtf/dao. Until recently, Agora was the only client that provided full support for the Nouns governor v3 (and now Camp does too, which is awesome). Given that we're mostly feature complete until further protocol upgrades, we shifted our focus this last quarter on refactoring our backend to increase the performance and load time of the app - which has been one of the most consistent requests among voters. We've sunk a lot of time and work into our app because we love Nouns and are committed to continuously build the best product for our community, and so I am truthfully a little surprised to hear that the app feels unmaintained. Perhaps this is because I've been a little quiet as we've been heads down, but as folks know, we love nouns tooling and think Nouns has been where a lot of governance innovation in DAOs originate from (credits to folks like Verbs, Wilson, Seneca on continuous exps). As for our roadmap -- we're excited to keep supporting Nouns. We thought there may be discussions to have a programmatically comp frontends via function tipping, so we have not put up an individual renewal post just yet because we're more excited about sustainable funding approaches to see the ecosystem thrive. But don't worry, we plan to be back in the new year, launch some art and keep on shipping ⌐◨-◨ That being said, we are still supportive of individual proposals (like Camp's) in the meantime before we have a more broad mechanism to fund multiple Nouns clients.
