# Fund Retroactive Rounds via Rounds.wtf
**tldr: **
Allocate 300 ETH towards retroactive rounds via rounds.wtf.
**Context:**
[Prop 506](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/506) passed on Feb 26, 2024 where the Prop House team received 50 ETH to deploy via [Rounds.wtf](https://rounds.wtf). We proposed “exploring a new UX via Farcaster for Nouns to allocate funds through.”
**What's happened since then:**
Through weekly experiments, we've learned enough to find a worthwhile direction: dedicated channels with all casts as submissions and a fined tuned algo to surface the good stuff. Some of the experiments that we ran:
- Reply to cast as a way to submit
- Tagging the @roundsbot to submit
- All casts filtered by eligible users’ likes as submissions (ding ding ding)
- Reply to submission and stand alone casts as notifications
- Dedicated channels for running rounds
- Media / mint / tags only rounds
- Deployed v1 & v2 of our claims contracts
**Nouns rounds results:**
3k+ submissions with rewards
1k+ unique users
27 rounds executed
For reference, the rounds.wtf modality was able to reward 10x more submissions and 3x more unique users in \~3 months than what we were able to achieve in prop.house in \~30 months.
Allocations were as follows:
- [/nouns](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns): 11 rounds, 32 ETH
- [/nouns-animators](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-animators): 7 rounds, 14 ETH
- [/nouns-propdates](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-propdates): 5 rounds, 2.4 ETH
- [/nouns-draws](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-draws): 4 rounds, 5 ETH
The best way to get a real sense of the results is to visit each channel individually via [rounds.wtf](https://rounds.wtf).
**Looking ahead:**
We recently announced that we’ll be [sunsetting prop.house](https://warpcast.com/seneca/0xef9cc1ab) in order to focus all of our resources into rounds.wtf. Our focus over the coming months are:
- Automation to free up our resources
- Incentivizing new players to join
- Exploring new dedicated channels
- Analytics to help communities understand where their rewards are going
- Further developing our Farcaster frames for a better in-client experience
- Improving the contributor UX on rounds.wtf.
**Ask:**
300 ETH, 100% will be used towards funding Nouns contributors. fund-retroactive-rounds-via-rounds.wtf
