NAC Refill
succeeded in initial pilot, discussion on how to continue in the long run
explaining bids NAC in the UI
Ukraine Toadz
DDC analysis has confirmed that this transaction will fail the way it is set up, even if we were to support
We’ve already given to this cause, what does this do for Nouns DAO?
Keeping Talent and Community Contributors Engaged
2-3E a month for core community members to stay engaged and be compensated for their time
compensation committee or handled by small grants
idea of retro outsized rewards
maybe both - reward people competitively for their contributions, and can also experiment with additional retro impact awards
Types of contributors
Creatives - project-based, more typical residency for outstanding artists?
Focus/Outcome/KPI should be around making great proposals
Operational - Auditing / Administrative Oversight Type Tasks
Gnars
Idea of Nouns Athletes is to help extreme athletes reach the peoples, places, and things that bring out their best
Gnars DAO as a fan engagement layer for Nouns Athletes
Want to build a roster similar to the redbull.com/athletes
Could also go beyond extreme sports, Red Bull sponsors e-sports players
Would be really awesome if it become a “thing” to take a photo in an amazing situation, location, etc with the glasses on
Blockbuster DAO
Seeking consensus on potential next steps with them
building 2 stories so it’s clear there isn’t a single narrative
funding more groups to get more stories, then possibly paying for animation of these
If they want us to own it, I think what we want in that case is for them to just release the work as CC0 – we don’t want to “own” it in the traditional sense
Nouns Weekly Call - International:
Thoughts on DAO/proposals
Different opinions - “I feel like we are not taking enough risks” , “Not experimenting enough” , “Proposals are not cutting edge and too much consensus” “i feel like we are stagnant”, “Need to see more proposals failing” , “I disagree with this assessment. Not stagnant at all.. lots of infra initiatives like prop house are very promising.”
There are 3 ways to get funding today
on chain - self published or sponsored (either by individuals, nouncil or subDAOs)
prop house
small grants and retro funding
If mission is to get more proposals, we should make it more obvious how to do it
Maybe [nouns.center] can have more content about this?
“I am not worried about this because it will solve itself organically. People will find ways to get funded as we grow.”
Thinking about building a game with infinite levels
the characters are nouns, Gumbas are toadz
working with a big gaming company to try and do this
Compression (this is cyber’s new proposal) - Nouns should be at the cutting edge of innovation for infra
