# Nouns Bidder POAP

This proposal is to fund the 1st half of the payment for the Nouns Bidder POAP Project that takes that project to its Season 1 completion. Upon successful completion, I will propose another Proposal to fund the 2nd half to compensate the team for their work.

**Nouns Bidder POAP tl;dr**

As more and more people find out about Nouns and make their way to the main auction page, we wanted to propose a way to not only invite people to bid on Nouns, but to reward them for bidding as well. Our proposal, in order to bring about this excitement for bidding/settling, is to create a microsite/landing page where all people who have previously bid on, or settled, a Noun will have the ability to claim a free POAP, marking, on-chain, their involvement in and excitement for the Nouns community.

**Microsite/Landing Page Details**

Below you will find key details on the thought and tech behind how our team plans to tackle this project.

**POAP (Proof Of Attendance Protocol) | What even is it?**

* In the simplest of terms, POAP is a system that event organizers can use to distribute unique badges/NFTs (ERC-721 tokens) to people that show up to their event (whether physical or digital). It also provides an open standard for developers to build on.
* Our team will be building out a microsite with the ability to claim a POAP for digitally attending (bidding on or settling) a Nouns Auction.
* You will be able to have this badge, this NFT, in your wallet, showing publicly your involvement in the Nouns Auction process and your belief in the proliferation of the Nouns ecosystem.

* We will be using etherscan.io data from the [Nouns DAO: Nouns Auction House Proxy](https://etherscan.io/address/0x830bd73e4184cef73443c15111a1df14e495c706) to pull all addresses with bid and settle functions from each auction in order to verify your involvement and allow you to claim your POAP through the site.
* We will be leveraging the [poap.xyz](http://poap.xyz) platform and API in order to create the cleanest experience for the claimer.

*AMENDMENT BEGINS*

**POAP Claiming Threshold**

Through community feedback and concern, we have amended this proposal by adding a claiming threshold. The threshold is based on a runners-up bidding function.

* A POAP will be rewarded/be able to be claimed by the five (5) runners-up for every auction (unique wallets only, back-and-forth bidding will not be rewarded with multiple POAPs)
* There will also be one (1) POAP reserved for anyone who settles an auction.
* The reasoning behind this amendment is for two key reasons.
  * First: Having unlimited POAPs available with the only requirement being a bid, would open the door to countless spam bidders, resulting in the arbitrary burning of gas.
  * Second: By restricting the POAPs to only be claimed by the 5 runners-up allows for the value of the POAP to stay in-line with that of Nouns, while still being attainable by a broader audience. If there is an auction that receives exceptionally high offers, the POAP reserved for a Settler, still allows for anyone, no matter the wallet size, to have the chance at receiving a Noun Bidders POAP.

*AMENDMENT ENDS*

**Technical Considerations + Source Code**

* The tech stack will be Typescript, React, Next.js, and TailwindCSS
* High emphasis on mobile-first usability and functional programming
* Site will be deployed to Vercel and will use their CI/CD pipeline
* Code will be open-sourced on Github so others can fork it and create their own POAP claim landing pages in the future
* We will have both a staging and production site for testing & bug-prevention
* Leverage the POAP API where possible ([poap.xyz](http://poap.xyz))

**Design**

* ***Design of the POAP***
  * Nounish beings by Sun-Min + David
  * Each Nounish being holds a numbered auction bid paddle marking in history the specific Noun that your bid was counted for
* ***Design of the Microsite***
  * Create wireframes in Figma and generate a low-fidelity interactive prototype (mobile and web)
  * Upload prototype into maze.design and test with the nouns community/discord to ensure that key tasks can be completed
  * Iterate on prototype to resolve any usability issues based on feedback
  * Once wireframes are validated, we’ll conduct two rounds of visual design to and share back with community
    * Leverage tailwind design components for easy and efficient build
    * Comments will be enabled to review feedback asynchronously and directly in the design
    * The website will be branded similarly to nouns.wtf (Londrina Solid font for headlines, Segoe UI for body text, grays and whites)

**Project Timeline**

Our team anticipates this project taking approximately 6-8 weeks. You can view our proposed schedule below. (subject to change based on reviews and approvals by the NounsDAO)

Community co-creation, as many of the other proposals have stated, is our goal. As you can see below, we will have three dedicated times where we will gather community input through Discord and other channels from the NounsDAO community in order to ship this product with the community’s highest standard in mind. ([Please view the attached document for the timeline](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MzVMFQO3do_2IBzSPup4QWyB48OoEdChZyAdOC74uak/edit?usp=sharing))

**Compensation**

We are asking for the funding of the design and development of this project from NounsDAO. We anticipate occasional maintenance and updates to be made to the site, and ask for a small percentage of funding from NounsDAO to help cover the team’s time over the course of the first 6 months following shipment of the site.

* 30ETH for Design, Development, and Deployment of the Nouns Bidder POAP Site
* 10ETH for the 6 months of maintenance and updates as needed

* Proposed Payment Schedule
  * 20 ETH from this Proposal to start work
  * 20 ETH from  a future Proposal on completion of this work

Outcome: EXECUTED
