How could you not bet on this team?
+1
> I’m deeply bullish on our team—not just because our devs are sharp, but also from working closely with Willy at ShapeShift. That experience taught me the power of gritty execution and rapid iteration. He is truly one of the best builders I know.
>
> Since FarCon NYC, where Nounspace won the hackathon, our product has only gotten stronger. Most recently, we placed 2nd in the showcase track of the Base Batches global buildathon, earning a trip for the whole team to Network School—where builders and investors alike validated what we're building.
>
> We haven’t just shipped; we’ve learned, iterated, and proven our value across several stages of development. The vision of unifying the Nouns ecosystem while enabling others to launch bespoke spaces is strategic and powerful.
>
> Sure, UX and deliverables can be sharpened as we go—but that’s what good builders do: we build in public. I believe in this team, our momentum, and the Nounish mission. Let’s double down. ⌐◨-◨
+1
> Still genuinely thrilled that I get to work everyday on giving communities like Nouns a better shared space where we can connect and coordinate.
>
> Lots of love for this community helping us get off the ground just over a year ago - we've been hard at work mapping out this new direction to reflect all of the feedback y'all have sent our way.
+1
> This proposal is a solid step toward making noun.space a go-to hub for the Nouns community while also opening doors for other communities. The team has shown they can deliver, and the vision of a customizable, community-owned platform is right on point. Let's keep building this together ⌐◨-◨

> Happy to respond to each of your concerns.

> 1. Noun.space
> We started by building everything we promised in the initial proposal the community voted for.
> Then, we continuously iterated based on feedback - the majority of which has been overwhelmingly positive. We definitely understand that what we’ve built is not for anyone - few products can be - but I've lost count of the number of people that have told us they "love" nounspace. The usage metrics and ongoing growth (as shown in the public analytics attached to the prop) are very positive and encouraging. Nounspace attracts more daily visitors than any other Nouns client, and we now have a clear path to make this platform fully nouns-focused, while also leveraging what we've built to help other communities. This is the only way to continue improving nounspace forever (with no ongoing cost to Nouns DAO). The demand we’ve seen for this platform from other communities with little-to-no marketing on our part confirms that we're solving real problems for them that nobody else solves.
>
> Clanker.space
> The mention of Clanker in our proposal serves to demonstrate this demand. Clanker is by far the leading token launchpad on Base and Farcaster, and a protocol that links the leading web3 social platform with the fastest growing L2 is the ideal partner for our project Many tokens launching through Clanker do not have a website, chat, or utility, all of which are very real problems that both clanker.space and blank.space solve.
>
> Further, the token launchpad business model is one of the strongest, most validated business models in web3. By offering communities the option to launch a token through blank.space's clanker-powered launchpad, we stand to generate significant revenues that will be used to further the development of Space Systems, which will directly benefit nounspace at no ongoing cost to Nouns (Clanker shares 50% of their revenues with partner launchpads at no additional cost to the end-user).
>
> Proposal spaces
> Proposal spaces offer parity with top governance clients alongside live chat, S-tier AI summaries, and most importantly, the ability for the proposer to customize the space with whatever content/functionality is relevant. Further, we are the only client so far that supports voting via mini-app, and have the ability to automatically add relevant mini-apps to proposals (ie. propdates, milestone-tracking, futarchy mini apps, etc.), which we would argue is a more effective way to implement new prop-related functionality than requiring each client to build custom implementations. Even if you would prefer to use a different Farcaster client, you will benefit from this functionality being integrated into cross-client mini-apps that provide additional Nounish touchpoints.
>
> Deliverables
> Check the Roadmap section for nouns-focused Nounspace. We'll release more details on blank.space in the coming weeks, but felt it was better to keep this proposal focused on Nounspace. That said, any functionality developed for Space Systems will inherently be available on Nounspace.
>
> $SPACE
> $SPACE will be what it has always been - the governance token for Nounspace. We have been exploring strategies around a new token for the space system launchpad (blank.space). If we decide to go down this route, $BLANK will be airdropped to $SPACE holders (After this proposal, Nouns DAO will be the top space holder - and $SPACE been repeatedly distributed to nOGs holders, which have always been free for Nouners to mint) .While the price action for $SPACE, like most tokens, has been rough, this is largely in part to the significant rewards we've distributed. We've learned a lot from $SPACE and look forward to implementing these learnings with $BLANK, whose performance would directly benefit $SPACE holders via the airdrop and a $BLANK/$SPACE liquidity pool.

> Thank you for acknowledging our team's extensive efforts (and we’ve asked Tom to tone it down a little bit on X!). If you have any other feedback beyond decreasing the ask 75%, we're always interested in hearing it.

> > Noun.space
> > I'm still unsure why people are going to use this and I think this is reflected by slow traction thus far. Can't really see much notable evolution form the initial proposals/mvp if I'm being honest, it is a still a primitive page builder with a Farcaster app on the side. Every single fidget I've used has a worse UX than just going on that website. Why would people want to use websites like this unless the UX/UI is far superior? It doesn't make sense. As a farcaster client, it seems like a clunky mix of wordpress and farcaster.xyz but with less features and pretty hard to explore anything, no novel search algos or UI. You write "platform that provides immediate value" but I am struggling to see what the immediate value is without it explicitly being laid out by you guys.
> >
> > Clank.space
> > The clanker partnership is interesting, but they also are pretty niche and I guess have DAUs in the 100s as opposed to thousands or tens of thousands, so this probably won't take the .space platform anywhere in that regard. Clanker fees have trended down significantly since the launch hype: https://defillama.com/protocol/clanker - I like clanker but personally not hugely bullish on token launchpads. Seems a somewhat random inclusion in a proposal called "Double down on Nounspace".
> >
> > Proposal spaces
> > Similarly to websites being squashed into fidgets leading to bad UX, the proposal space makes it harder to read the proposal than just using a client. Not clear to me why it is showing the same proposal twice, and the AI feed seems redundant for the most part unless the agent is s-tier.
> >
> > Unclear what exactly the deliverables are (your prop doesn't even mention the word deliverables), it says you will be doing noun.space features full-time but also mention you plan to build clank.space and other community spaces so not sure how that is possible if you are working full-time on nounspace.
> >
> > Unclear what $space token is being given to Nouns, is this the og one or the new blank space one? The monthly chart on the og nounspace token $space is extremely bearish and doesn't inspire confidence for the new token: https://www.dextools.io/app/en/base/pair-explorer/0x742e2868f9fd2bdf464494100c1829ba75836c9f?t=1751851052823

> > I appreciate the hustle and like the team, although had to block Nounspace Tom on X due to spam (that has not impacted my vote though). I think I would be more For this proposal at ~25% this current ask with some laser focused/concrete deliverables and KPIs.
