# Update the Descriptor to Reduce Auction Settlement Gas

## Summary

This proposal resolves a storage creep issue in the Nouns' Descriptor contract, which has caused the gas required to settle an auction to increase with each added batch of traits.

A [new descriptor contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0x25ff2fde7df1a433e09749c952f7e09ad3c27951) has been deployed with a simple optimization that reduces auction settlement by 40,000 gas, and prevents future increases as traits are added.

The art in the new descriptor contract is identical to the descriptor that's currently used in production.

## Technical Details

For those who are technical, you can find the full changes [here](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/804/files).

# Sell Some Treasury Nouns

## TL;DR
Currently, there are only four nouns available for purchase on open markets. Herein, I propose to sell some treasury nouns at prices above the fork0-BV price. This initiative would provide individuals with the opportunity to acquire nouns from Season 1, offer the DAO a chance to expand the Nouners community, in addition to daily auctions, and generate additional capital for proliferation or burn.
A committee of five trusted members will manage listing of nouns via a 3/5 multi-sig.

## Description
This proposal aims to replenish the treasury and secure capital for further proliferation activities. Nouns had historically limited market availability, however there are indications that nouns are in demand; for example, Noun8 was sold for 49 ETH. Now that we have a treasury with lots of rare and beautiful nouns, I propose listing 15 nouns on open markets. This will help the DAO to refill the treasury and also attract new Nouners who appreciate the art, culture, and value of NounsDAO.
The committee members will determine prices based on market sentiment and in the best interest of the DAO. All ETH proceeds from sales and any remaining nouns will be transferred to the treasury after one month, which equates to 30 daily auctions.
Herein, I propose the following tiered pricing for nouns based on their numbers:

ids: 0-99 at 43~51 ETH
ids: 100-299 at 38~43 ETH

## Requested nouns
The sale of the following nouns should contribute 595~685 ETH to the treasury.

![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1VxBo_e6.png)

## Policy and Rules
**1.1** The 15 treasury nouns will be sent to the multi-sig wallet, which is managed by 5 trusted members.
**1.2** The nouns held in the multi-sig safe are non-voting, meaning that the committee cannot use them for voting purposes.
**1.3** Committee members will determine prices in the best interest of the DAO.
**1.4** No treasury nouns shall be sold below the fork0-BV price.
**1.5** The candidate proposal feedback section shall be used for suggestions.
**1.6** The community is encouraged to propose committee members, and self-nomination is also encouraged.
**1.7** All ETH proceeds from sales and any remaining nouns will be transferred to the treasury after one month, which equates to 30 daily auctions.


## Multi-sig signers
This is a pro bono position, and committee members will receive a small amount of ETH to compensate for transaction fees only.

# Award Nouns to 2023 Nouniversary Art Upgrade’s Artists

This proposal awards each of the six community artists ([Amiyoko](https://warpcast.com/amiyoko), [Facu](https://warpcast.com/facu), [Goldy](https://warpcast.com/goldy), [Index](https://warpcast.com/indexcard.eth), [Krel](https://warpcast.com/krel), and [Tummlin](https://twitter.com/tummlin)) who contributed art to the [2023 Nouniversary art upgrade prop](https://nouns.wtf/vote/348) a noun with a head that they each designed.

![](https://i.imgur.com/nS5lHiL.png)

Contributing art to the Nouns body of artwork is a monumental achievement. The act was also proactively done in a fashion that put DAO's interest first (forgoing compensation at the time given the environment hostile to funding such work pre-fork). 

Each of the six artists are passionate contributors in the noundry community and are likely amongst the most values-aligned contributors we have, making them welcome voters to add to the DAO. All of the artists were contacted to confirm excitement of this award and the added responsibility as a voter.

In addition to the above, 1 ETH is proposed to be sent to Solimander for the technical support provided for the Nouniversary art upgrade prop.

# Sail Nouns: NFT NYC 2024

## TL;DR
Gather the Nounish community on a big boat during NFT.NYC. The New York evening view from a sailboat is the best place to take photos while wearing Noggles.

*Resubmission notes:
- As per feedback on [Prop386](https://nouns.wtf/vote/386), I am resubmitting the proposal for NYC.NFT sailing event.
- I reduced the budget that still can be enough for a classy gathering.
- You can also mint photos from last event on ZORA*

## Description
![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJjKkJqun.jpg)
Following the success of [Prop 102](https://nouns.wtf/vote/102) and [Prop 173](https://nouns.wtf/vote/173), I would like to organize a sailing event on April 3rd in New York with the help of the Manhattan Yacht Club. IMO, it is important to gather at least once a year to celebrate achievements, brainstorm ideas, and share nounish goods. I believe New York is the best place for such gatherings. It was an amazing experience to meet everyone for the first time in person during NFT.NYC 2023. I think next year, we will have even more loyal nounish people visiting New York.

## Burgee flag
We have a very beautiful flag with a meaning. *A white flag with red noggles symbolizes one noun! When you put many nouns burgee flags together, they symbolize the Nouns community.* The Nouns burgee flag debuted at the 2023 Nouns Sailing event during NFT.NYC, representing the spirit of Nouns and the tradition of the Nounish community. I would love to continue this tradition to distribute burgee flags at sailing event in NY.

# Nouns to Verbs

This proposal is put forward to transfer Noun 35 and Noun 66 from the treasury to Elad and David of the Verbs team.

The Verbs team have helped Nouns undergo novel and groundbreaking protocol developments, including but not limited to the successful engineering and deployment of the ability to Fork. 

The venn diagram of people on the internet who have the ability to write production grade solidity, synthesize new mechanisms and have the time and willingness to work for a decentralized, public and chaotic org in the *form* of Nouns is currently extremely limited. Verbs are rare and valuable talent that should not be taken for granted.

After Fork 0 and Fork 1 the treasury has 541 Nouns. These Nouns can be used in a similar way to [how a startup gives ownership](http://www.paulgraham.com/equity.html) to employees. A powerful aligning incentive to contributors who can have outsized impact on the value of the org. Given the past, present and likely future contributions of the Verbs teams it seems obvious to transfer Nouns. This should be a practice that the org gets increasingly competent and sophisticated at doing. 

**Proposal details:**

Send to David:
- Noun 66 + 16 ETH
- Both Noun and ETH to 0x5DB3eCE2548D54D83BF2d3ea43cCA2409fD6A71a

Send to Elad:
- Noun 35, to address 0xA21023920581fDAdAa893124F401e0c0ed168725
- 16 ETH, to address 0x385089ccF5Be09DFd60c18Fec4C9465BaDb82B23

16 ETH is calculated to cover 35% tax on 30 ETH FMV.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Unstake 50% of stETH

The dao currently holds an outsized amount of stETH and requires more operational cash to keep funding proposals.

I suggest we unstake and withdraw 50% of our [current stETH balance](https://etherscan.io/tokenholdings?a=0xb1a32FC9F9D8b2cf86C068Cae13108809547ef71), which is ~8982/2 = 4491 stETH.

![](https://i.imgur.com/gpTs7eZ.png)

#### **Transaction details**
Unstaking from Lido is a [two-step process](https://stake.lido.fi/withdrawals/request). This proposal deals with step one.


- Approve Withdrawal Queue to transfer 4491 stETH.
- Request to withdraw 4491 stETH. The request is split into batches up to 1K ETH due to a Lido [withdrawal limit](https://etherscan.io/address/0x889edC2eDab5f40e902b864aD4d7AdE8E412F9B1#readProxyContract#F6).

*Thanks to everyone for feedback, and to david, elad, and wiz for helping with this prop.*

# Enabler DAO to Nouns House DAO

### Executive Summary

As the proud owner of Nouns 312, I am deeply impressed by the vision and expansion strategy behind NounsDeli and NounsBuilder. I propose an initial investment of 312 ETH into the newly formed "Nouns House DAO," which will be a rebranding of the current Enabler DAO. This investment aims to fortify and grow the entire Nouns ecosystem.

### Why Approve This Proposal?

- Nouns has transcended its origins as an art project and is now the foundation for various decentralized protocols.
  
- We have already launched Nouns House DAO through NounsBuilder, which has undergone a third-party security audit and received community endorsement. The DAO's inaugural auction starts today.
  
- I propose the allocation of 312 ETH, symbolizing my ownership of Nouns 312, to kickstart this initiative.

- Recent case studies indicate that such ecosystem upgrades can drive substantial growth.

### Approval and Bidding Process

**Approval**: To approve this proposal, please cast your vote under proposal 2.  
**Bidding**: The auction will be held [here](insert link). Active participation in bidding is highly encouraged.

### Conclusion

Approval of this proposal will significantly benefit not just our initiative but the Nouns ecosystem at large. We eagerly await your support and participation.

# Nouner Scout Rounds

*tldr: 
Experiment with Prop House as a way to bring in long-term aligned players by running **three rounds** where the award is one Noun.*



![image](https://i.imgur.com/qUW9UMk.png)

Post-fork, the main goal for Nouns has been to create a stable environment where the auction attracts long-term aligned participants rather than arbitrageurs. The strategy includes increasing thoughtful spending, [testing out new mechanisms](https://w.mirror.xyz/AmHOzH-FQZVO3IhGXHSvCRxRSf2MO6VCZdmMwNEIyKE), and [rewarding Nouns to deserving contributors](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/409).

To advance this goal, I suggest conducting trial rounds where a Noun is awarded through a Prop House round. The rounds' focus would be to bring in exceptional people who have previously contributed something meaningful in their respective fields. **Taking inspiration from [Brian Armstrong](https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/1681439056323051529), the round would serve as an explicit invitation for accomplished and interesting individuals to help steward Nouns.** 

*There's already some pretty epic people who've expressed interest: the great [Rainbow Mike](https://twitter.com/mikedemarais/status/1717625898835292351) and the one and only [Riva Tez](https://twitter.com/rivatez/status/1717987417557541068).*


**Tentative Round Parameters:**
- A one-week period for submitting proposals.
- A one-week period for voting.
- Open submission for all (with basic criteria to avoid spam).
- Voting conducted by Nouns voters.
- The proposer with the highest votes receives one Noun.

Note: the round parameters will be adjusted if it makes sense to do so!

**Logistics:**
The nouns would be escrowed in a [2/3 safe](https://etherscan.io/address/0xDBDD666BFa569F72866Fba319271aC008B6bbe7a) managed by trusted community members [ccarella](https://twitter.com/ccarella), [necfas](https://twitter.com/necfas) and [seneca](https://twitter.com/cryptoseneca). 

**Timeline:**
If we stick to a ~20 day timeline, we can run three rounds between November and December with the final round ending on new years day :)

**The Chosen Ones:**
Army Pickel, Icy Snowman, Fiery Cloud

![image](https://i.imgur.com/CjYhViX.png)

**Nouns Spotlight Art**
I've added a 0.25 ETH payment to [matascup](https://twitter.com/matascup) for making the Spotlight character for the Nouner Scout rounds.

![image](https://i.imgur.com/036tNN9.png)

**Other:**
I also added a 2.5 ETH tx to use for discretionary spending to make the experience legitimate. Current line of thinking is to use the funds to get someone to help me build a [dedicated Nouner Scout app](https://warpcast.com/seneca/0xdaabe6b4). If the funds are not used for whatever reason, they will be returned to the treasury. 

---

If the experiment is successful in attracting worthy participants, we could consider running continuous rounds to help allocate the 500+ Nouns in the treasury. Worth noting is that if it is indeed a success, more than helping allocate Nouns, these rounds could be a sort of Nouns-wide celebration akin to noun-o-clock.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Claim ETH from Lido (Prop 415 Follow-up)

TL;DR
Claim our ETH from Lido after the successful execution of Prop 415.

**More Info:**
This proposal is a follow-up prop to [Proposal 415: Unstake 50% of stETH](https://nouns.wtf/vote/415). In Prop 415, the DAO requested to withdraw 4491 stETH from Lido aka Step 1.

Our ETH is now ready to be claimed and must be done so with another transaction aka Step 2.

Refer to the [execution of Prop 415](https://etherscan.io/tx/0xc0a916bf028a9e21942990cccc66a6d34a4dc78d1344ea23c2165d28a3416ccb) for the relevant Request IDs in the attached transaction.

# Gift Noun 181 to Sasquatch

## The Legend of Esports

Sasquatch founded Nouns Esports 1.5 years ago, swiftly establishing it as one of the premier esports organizations globally. His relentless drive and knack for building strategic relationships have not only set new standards within our DAO but have also earned genuine respect within the broader industry. Executives from other organizations often express their amazement at what Sasquatch and Nouns Esports have achieved in such a short time. Without his leadership, our current success would be unimaginable, and his departure would be a significant blow to Nouns Esports.

Beyond esports, Sasquatch plays a pivotal role in sharkDAO, contributing to various Nouns proposals and initiatives. He consistently ensures the success of proposers and has a reputation for integrating the right individuals who embody the spirit of "nounish."

I don't know anyone more nounish than Sasquatch and the original Sasquatch 181 is the perfect Noun!

# Nouns x BasePaint



*tldr:
Commit to minting 6 ETH of Nouns Themed BasePaint dailys for three consecutive days (2 ETH per day).*

---

[![image](https://i.imgur.com/gfeyoyi.png)](https://basepaint.xyz/gallery)

[BasePaint](https://basepaint.xyz/) is a shared pixel canvas. The community makes art for 24 hours. After which, the canvas locks, and an open edition NFT of the artwork is available to mint for 24 hours. 

I propose committing 6 ETH to mint three days of Nouns themed canvases. **For three days, the BasePaint theme would be whatever Noun is on auction at the time of which the BasePaint canvas opens**. This is a fun initiative would accomplish a few things:
- Further cement Nouns into BasePaint works (noggles have shown up in a few works already: [BP1](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0xba5e05cb26b78eda3a2f8e3b3814726305dcac83/1), [BP33](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0xba5e05cb26b78eda3a2f8e3b3814726305dcac83/33), [BP47](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0xba5e05cb26b78eda3a2f8e3b3814726305dcac83/47) and [BP71](https://opensea.io/assets/base/0xba5e05cb26b78eda3a2f8e3b3814726305dcac83/71)).
- Ten Nouns artists will be whitelisted for bronze BasePaint brushes to collaborate with the BasePaint community. If you're interested, [apply](https://[link](https://tally.so/r/3NlAMB)) and mention Nouns.
- Support BasePaint crypto native artists 
- Make our first transaction on an L2!

I've been in contact with the cofounders of BasePaint ([Zach](https://twitter.com/zherring) and [WINTΞR](https://twitter.com/w1nt3r_eth)) to set the themes for the days on which Nouns would be minting. 

## Logistics:
- We’d be using the [BasePaint bot](https://www.basepaintbot.com/) to commit the ETH. 
- The proposal would be calling [Base Portal contract on Ethereum](https://etherscan.io/address/0x49048044D57e1C92A77f79988d21Fa8fAF74E97e#readProxyContract) which would both deposit and call the [BasePaint bot contract](https://basescan.org/address/0x945da7ddb8d8ee64c11001c1a5ba80c1c026279e#readContract). 
- We'd be minting 699 each day (at a cost of 0.00286 per mint) for a total of 1.9999 ETH per day (699 * 0.00286).
- The mints would be under the [DAO's alias address](https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/blob/develop/specs/deposits.md#address-aliasing) so that the DAO can call it from L1 if it chooses to move them.


## Timeline:

- Assuming the proposal passes, the mint would start 9 days after the proposal is put onchain (7 days vote turnaround + 2 days queued). That means the first mint would happen on November 16th which also happens to be BasePaint's 100th mint!

## Where the ETH would go:
There’s a 10% fee that the BasePaint bot takes at mint. Once minted, 90% of the profits of the OE are distributed to the artists proportional to the number of pixels they painted. 10% goes to the protocol.

# Sasquatch Hunting

![Sasquatch Hunter](https://i.postimg.cc/br1s2yxW/snnj3fb.jpg)

The infamous Sasquatch, Noun 181, has continued to elude us.

I am proposing that we go on the hunt for it and bring it back to the treasury. In doing so, we can finally send it to it's rightful owner

- - -

**Context:**
[Proposal 428](https://nouns.wtf/vote/428) has just passed is and waiting to be executed. However, the transaction looks to send Noun 181 from the treasury to our [Sasquatch](https://warpcast.com/sasquatch). Unfortunately, that noun is currently held in the escrow contract.

The transaction on this prop would use the appropriate transaction to withdraw the noun from escrow into the DAO and allow the original prop to be executed as intended.

# Bail out Lil Nouns DAO

It's the 3rd time in Lil Nouns turbulent governance history that a proposal passes for forking their Nouns. The first two ([#149](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/149), [#150](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/150)) didn't get executed for some unfortunate timing, the last one ([#162](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/162)) got vetoed by the Lil Nounders for some risk related to a potential collusion between the Lil Nouns whales and a malicious actor that could have rugged the forked treasury without letting Lil Nouns DAO quit.

There is clearly an interest in Lil Nouns DAO to get rid of their Nouns, they recently did a proposal to put for sale 15 of their Nouns for 23 ETH each ([#170](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/170), [#171](https://lilnouns.wtf/vote/171)) through Zora.

This is a proposal to buy 10 of their listed Nouns and help them in case they won't be able to find any buyers.

Outcome: CANCELLED
