Hey Nouns, wanted to add some last minute feedback to VWR's as many are still yet to vote. First, I agree that we need to find more tasteful ways to tie attribution back to Nouns. Given that we don't use the noggles in our logo, we've been planning a contest for a shademark that we and other nouns projects can use. We plan on putting that contest up soon and working through other ideas to make this better.
- "Would like to know more on their efforts to reach a wider audience beyond Nouns groups."
As we grow and the app becomes easier to use, the ideal place we want to be is for people to "just get it". For now, we take a "boots on the ground" approach to help communities understand the value prop. Obviously that doesn't scale, but it doesn't have to right now. It's working, and people are learning. Last night we onboarded a new community on base and they are absolutely loving it. They use it to mint their memes onchain and one of the accounts is sharing to their 80k followers. Each group we onboard contributes to the network effect. https://x.com/1CrypticPoet/status/1751764700570738816?s=20. On Friday this cast went semi-viral on farcaster as we were one of the first projects to allow minting via a frame. https://warpcast.com/nickd/0xd578811b
- "I could see myself voting for a revision of this proposal that is more focused and clear about its purpose and what it wants to achieve"
We want to build tools that bring communities onchain. We believe there is incredible value here and there are not many people doing what we are doing. Our proposal, namely the zora upgrades, will make it much easier to introduce new use cases into the mix. How can we add logic that governs more complicated entry requirements beyond simple token gating? Can we require that a user has to RT on twitter to mint? Can we require users to reach a certain number of mints before they can post again? How can we gamify the mint economy? What can happen onchain when they reach 100 mints? These are the types of things that become possible if communities have more control of the knobs, which will be made possible with our new contracts.
- "What is the benefit to Nouns?"
Internally, we take pride in micro-funding nounish creatives and supporting nouns projects that are supporting artists. With better attribution and continued growth, we will continue to drive interest back to the Nouns maindao and subcommunities. The main reason we haven't tackled many maindao specific use cases yet is because it's much easier to experiment at the grassroots level. That being said, there are tons of things we can do at the maindao level now and post prop. We're going to kick this off with the shademark contest, and we're actively planning how we can leverage some of our new features for the dao's benefit. One example of this - If $nogs solidifies itself as a nouns social token, we can potentially use our new features to gamify it's distribution through minting games. Nouns is our home, we know we can have a massively positive impact on the Nouns mission, and we're focused on doing so.
