Memo 0xcee995e0…170f0b on Ethereum

@0xc6a3...96E4 Thanks. Appreciate the clarification. I am observing that different people having very specific criteria that can differ from others very specific criteria can often lead to a jam. From my experience, in DAOs, its ideal when there is a very clear shared mission that many/most people really care about. When that is the case, things seem to flow and become easier. Also, happy to chat more "offchain".

They identified a pain point in Nouns’ tooling and solved it, making it easier to disseminate information and coordinate with aligned individuals in the ecosystem, and saw significant traction among Nouners.
