**@playdna_** - A collective of individuals collaborating on a mission to make Nouns playable.
**PlayDNA is FOR**. See below for our collective vote with reason (*TheBower, JP, FabValle, joaoborges*):
We believe it’s important to encourage the path of retro funding, presenting it to new teams as a reliable way of building with nouns, by creating a great product and acquiring traction. While the opinions are mixed on swaps, there was definitely tangible value created for the DAO with their tooling.
+1
> I'm personally not a fan of the swaps. I really do not like it. Putting my personal preference aside, the team has certainly created value by taking the leap and bringing a tool to market that works, looks good and sparks conversation.
>
> Bringing my personal preference back into the swap conversation as a whole: the more swaps come in, the more I'm feeling the inclination to vote against. And I'm sensing that others have similar feelings about it.
>
> The value that Paperclip Labs provided goes beyond the toolings: they created a product that was in demand (significance tbd) for the community (us) to chew on which accelerated the learning curve, that for some/many/lots of us the tools aren't what we want. Hopefully this also sparks action towards finding perhaps a new consensus about what we do with treasury Nouns.
>
> Also, I want to point out that I think this could've been a leaner budget if we funded the team upfront. Retro comp should always be higher.
>
> While they're building out their footprint within the Nouniverse, a rebranding might be beneficial which I'm sure they've already thought about.
>
> Either way, the team has proven their abilities, capabilities and sensibilities by having their ears to the streets / on chain and taking pro-active action.
