Nouns Weekly Call:
Nouns x Dopamine - link
digital and physical streetwear label, they have a lot of partners
Oni would work with them to design a streetwear collection
sold through their portal, most of the sale proceeds would go to Nouns
you buy a physical piece, redeem an NFT by scanning a chip
they will be forking Nouns, auctioning memberships etc
not funding the development on their platform
should be launching in time for ART Basel
State of incoming proposals and DAO‘s “difficulty adjustment”
= a relatively big number of recent prop were rejected
DAO has been favoring yes so far, its healthy to say no sometimes, especially on lower quality props
DAO is getting bigger, older
doesn't seem too contentious, seems healthy
people are thinking more about ROI than before
we should encourage people to think small first and build up their reputation and track record, small grants can help if nouners want to work directly with builders
SharkDAO Funding Proposal - link
Podcasts, comics, a lot going on
a lot of overlap with stuff going on directly in NounsDAO
maybe the ETH would go a longer way if it was spent more closely within NounsDAO vs subdao?
optics for other subdaos?
subdaos should mabe be trying to be self-sustaining, or at least be contributing part of the funding
we should judge proposals based on their merit, not based on the fact that it is a subdao proposing it
Prop 122 - JokeDAO Grant - link
no joke in the prop →against (jk)
people don't understand the prop, unsure what the value is, no one is strongly against/for
was put on chain just to let the DAO decide, feedback in discord/discourse was very limited but positive
people afraid of saying no - experimenting with anonymity?
a lot of proposals popping up, and attention is limited, not always about not wanting to say no, mostly wanting to spend the limited time we all have on stuff that we find interesting
Prop 124 - Nouns Governance Client Prop House - link
The first mandate round was a success, this feels like the logical next step
“delegation marketplace” could potentially lead to bribes?
Honk is making soap if he wins in prop house
How to incentivize governance vs. siting on nouns
free-rider problem
voting tokens tied to a noun?
being active and building up social capital raises your chances to get funding
All call notes can be found here.
