Nouns community @ ETHDenver
Have a luggage of Quack and Lola, a few boxes of Red & Gold noggles, and a few boxes of Nounish Friends. If you find me at the BUIDLthon, you may claim your proliferation tools as supplies last!

We have a ton of media proposals in Nouns, but everything feels fragmented. The most a company should spend on media is 30% of their budget at early stages (30% of 1Y inflows in our case) with a reason to heavily increase acquisition of users and be ready to retain those users.
We have very few DAO members that are even willing to retweet for existing proposals on their socials to show support of proposals that they voted YES on.
We should take a step back and discuss based on our resource pool of contributors and holders, what are the 2-3 things that we can do amazing and experiment on something that everyone in the DAO is willing to back.
To me, it seems like the general community likes nouns.camp / nounswap.wtf, we want to continue experimenting with flows, and we are still on warpcast. Maybe we should figure out how to consolidate efforts to these three things for 2025 and make something great instead of a dozen things good.

After a month in Asia, I think it's more important than ever for Nouns to be prioritizing super teams in markets that have huge populations to take Nouns further.
Lower cost of living means proposals aren't as bloated relative to treasury and product sales at scale allow us to find recurring revenues to fund public goods initiatives while having local teams who understand their own markets better than we ever will.
I see 2025 as us building those super teams and funding the best builders who already have existing distribution that can be accelerated through proposals

Today Nouns DAO became the first government approved DAO in China in direct partnership with the Chinese government. Over the next year, China will provide access for our team to advise and implement the future of China's blockchain legislature.
I am excited to bridge the gap for China and am thankful for support from 王野霏, chairman of the Capital Copyright Association.
Thank you to everyone at Nouns I've met this year, this still feels like a dream to me and I can't wait for us to be able to use government channels to proliferate our mission

Spent the morning chatting about my vision of Nouns in China with Premier Zhao's second in command, 黄剑平. I got to learn about how he brought Levi's and Cocacola to China while brokering a bilateral trade deal with the Bush administration.
Lot of plans starting with an announcement on Wednesday 😉

Voter atrophy comes from not making governance enjoyable enough to spend your time. That's the beauty of a DAO.
Having to spend 4 hours in a call to hear a few proposals is too much time for most people, especially on a weekday.
Agreed that voter participation is important, but that's a separate issue to the DUNA imo.

The proposers are calling this whole "turning Nouns into DUNA" thing a referendum, claiming it'll reshape the future of Nouns. But do they actually believe that? A proper referendum would have at least half of the eligible voters participating, right? We’ve got over 700 eligible votes, yet less than 100 are active, and even at peak, we barely hit 200. Has there been a broad, official announcement to the DAO members or a real call to action from the foundation? Are the objectives clear with the information provided? Has the foundation even attempted to communicate with the DAO outside of these one-sided announcements?

We launched a new series of quests today focusing on onchain onboarding. There's a specific quest for swapping $NOUNS on @matchaxyz that I would recommend doing once for a future nounish reward 😅
Link to quest: https://nouns.gg/quests/swap-nouns
If anyone has feedback when using nounsgg, we would appreciate it! Happy Friday!

Delegating Noun 1202 to @nounsmach . Mach has been with Nouns since the start through SharkDAO and joined Nouncil early on. He's also an active contributor for Nouns Esports helping manage our Counterstrike roster, merchandising, and social media accounts. Excited to see how he votes with reason and will be looking to acquire a few more Nouns for the rest of our staff!
