# Refill Nouns Strategic Funding Works (NSFW) Pool

# Refill Nouns Strategic Funding Works (NSFW) Pool

Nouns Strategic Funding Works (NSFW), formerly Small Grants, is running low on ETH and needs to be refilled. 

NSFW is a pool of capital that serves the DAO's interest, stewarded on a completely discretionary basis by the group's members, and funds things that include:
* Small Grants
* Retro Rewards
* Residencies
* Trials ahead of sponsoring on-chain proposals
* Ad hoc DAO needs - contests, bug bounties, being the DAO’s “hot wallet”

The group conducts its daily operations in the Discord in the #grants-and-retro-funding-channel, as well as on the Nouns [Discourse forum](https://discourse.nouns.wtf/u/noun22/activity).

**[This link contains information on everything NSFW has ever funded.](https://maty-eth.notion.site/68f80b714b8e49b29c43527fd5ebe0e8?v=31ab66c0c24d470dadef8a8dbb2533a1)**

Outcome: EXECUTED
# NSFW compensation

Being part of NSFW is a lot of work and currently not being fairly distributed. 

To help fix this, I propose the DAO compensates the current members to incentivise/ensure their participation on NSFW.

Therefore, I suggest an 8 ETH compensation for each member per month. The proposal shall run for 3 months on an experimental base to see if we as a DAO manage to incentivise people enough to stay on NSFW and share the burden of responsibility. 

If effective, we can then continue to pay those active members until the current funding runs out. 

Current active members are:
- Noun 12 (multi-sig)
- Noun 16 (multi-sig)
- Noun 22 (multi-sig)*
- skilift (multi-sig)
- Jarmen
- maty
- Oni
- Sam Ellis
- wiz
- eoj
*Noun 22 is excluded from the calculation, as he is currently compensated for his involvement with NSFW.

For any member that won’t be actively participating in these three months the DAO would terminate the payment for this individual and would expect them to be removed or replaced.

I would expect once everyone is onboarded that each member has a function and a role within NSFW. If members can’t participate, they are urged to remove themselves and return the funds to the treasury.

Total ask 216 ETH.

I suggest to send send the ETH to the NSFW multi-sig, from where it will get distributed to the individual contributors on a monthly base.

# SaveArtSpace x Nouns Billboard Exhibition in NYC

SaveArtSpace x Nouns Billboard Exhibition
A Mix of Static Billboards & Digital Bus Shelters for $40k USD in NYC:

8 - Billboards sized 22x11 - will be live for at least 4 weeks, up till someone else buys the space.
6 - Digital Bus Shelters - will be live for 4 weeks total.

Locations can be selected from a map/list of options. We can also have a discussion of whether we just want nouns glasses or also want to showcase some specific nouns (perhaps via some sort of auction that goes back to the nouns treasury).
Prices are subject to change depending on city and install date and changes in ETH. So we may get slightly fewer or more depending on where the price settles when the ETH investment is approved and converted to USD to pay the vendors.

# Set proposal threshold

Currently we have a threshold in place which requires 2 nouns to put a proposal on chain. The intention of the threshold is to reduce spam. For the current size of nounsDAO it is not necessary. This is a built-in threshold which can be adjusted at any time with a proposal.

**Proposal to change the threshold from 2 nouns to 1 noun for putting a proposal on chain.**
This would allow any address with a minimum of **1 NOUN** to formally propose to the DAO, until the Noun supply reaches **1000**. After that the threshold will be set to 2 again.

This is an updated version of [Prop 134](https://nouns.wtf/vote/134).

Outcome: DEFEATED
# Set Voting Period to 5 days

As the number of nouners and nouns sub-communities increase, we will see more proposals appear on-chain without prior off-chain coordination. This is a proposal to increase the 'Voting Period' (from the current 3 days) to 5 days, so that nouners have more time to diligence proposals and to decide how they will vote.

The 'Voting Delay' is currently 2 days and is not changed by this proposal. If this proposal passes, it will take ~1 week between proposal submission and the conclusion of voting.

Outcome: CANCELLED
# Set Voting Period to 5 days and Voting Delay to 2 days

As the number of nouners and nouns sub-communities increase, we will see more proposals appear on-chain without prior off-chain coordination. 

This is a proposal to: 
- set 'Voting Delay' to be 2 days. This is a minor change that accounts for block times changing to 12 seconds after the merge.
- set 'Voting Period' to 5 days, so that nouners have more time to diligence proposals and to decide how they will vote.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Nouns DAO V2.1 Minor Fix

## Summary

This proposal updates the Nouns DAO logic contract to a new version, with a single minor improvement:

**Vote with Gas Refund**: change refund destination such that multisig voter that pays for gas get refunded, rather than sending the refund to the multisig contract. 

Technically, this change involves refunding `tx.origin` instead of `msg.sender`.

Exact changes can be seen here: https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/604

Because this change is very minor, we're not going through an official audit process. This change has been reviewed thoroughly by technical DAO members (solimander & vapeape).

## Proposal Transactions for Humans

* `_setImplementation`: upgrades DAO logic to V2.1.

# Nouns funding ZachXBT

[@ZachXBT](https://twitter.com/zachxbt) is a public good serving the crypto ecosystem through tireless research exposing [countless scams](https://investigations.notion.site/). Recent events have highlighted the dire need and importance of such work. This prop proposes to fund 100 ETH to their donation address: zachxbt.eth (address can be verified from their twitter profile).

Donations have always been somewhat controversial within Nouns governance. [Prop 21](https://nouns.wtf/vote/21) donating 169 ETH to Gitcoin grants was one of the most contentious votes in our early history. [Prop 108](https://nouns.wtf/vote/108) donating 500 ETH to Ethereum protocol development (via the Protocol Guild) was much more unanimous but still there was discomfort and discourse around whether the DAO was becoming "a tax inefficient way for DAO members to make donations." 

I agree that we shouldn't resort to becoming a complacent vehicle of passive philanthropy. We should instead aim to actively contribute and be a net producer of public goods ourselves such that our meme (brand) can fully capture the provenance value (claim on originality of) the public work and thus leverage the virtuous cycle to do more than what capital alone could have done. However, there should be exceptions to this rule if there is an urgent and common public cause that warrants highlighting. I would like to suggest that this is such a case. Crypto needs more validators like ZachXBT.

With donations we need to be extra wary of conflicts of interest or self-dealing. Unfortunately there is no way to prove this cryptographically, but I attest that I have no prior (or planned future) relationship with ZachXBT and that today was the first time I contacted them (via twitter) to ask for their permission to make this proposal.

# Nouns funding ZachXBT

**NOTE: This prop is a resubmit of prop 177 since it was cancelled in the "queued" stage due to [my error](https://twitter.com/noun40__/status/1600889013216235525). I had delegated my nouns to the houseofnouns team without knowing that until a prop reaches execution (even after voting passes) removing voting power from the proposer's address can mean that anyone can cancel the prop. Unfortunately it was cancelled as a result. My sincere apologies for the need to revote.**

# This is Nouns — The First Edition minted by Nouns

[![Ordinary Folk Reel](https://i.imgur.com/uSC0HEl.jpg)](https://zora-prod.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/bafybeicnztdctxucbqbpm2m6mghjw6nv4n4opnev4hmftoxk5moykuayeq)

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to the Nouns Explainer created by **Ordinary Folk from [Prop 113](https://nouns.wtf/vote/113)**, we are proposing that Nouns releases this video as a timed open edition.

This is a groundbreaking proposal, as it will be the first time that Nouns DAO will be minting and releasing a creative work that was commissioned by the DAO.

By minting this video from the DAO via a proposal, it is becoming NounsDAO canon. Similar to how the DAO added in [new head attributes](https://nouns.wtf/vote/125) via a proposal, Nouns can continue to explore and experiment with new models of CC0 art and production and minting directly from the DAO is a new tool for the organization to directly release and distribute the most important artifacts from the community. It’s not hard to see how this can advance Nouns into a crypto-native form of Movie Studio, Production House, Art Museum and so on.

This video will be released as a Timed Open Edition for a price of 0.05 ETH. This means it will be available for anyone to mint for the specified minting period, which will be open until the Rose Parade on January 2nd, 2023. The proceeds from sale will be split between Nouns (60%) and Ordinary Folk (40%).

We are excited to experiment with DAO NFT releases as an additional value capture mechanism, and potentially create a simple and repeatable model for any creator, community and brand in the ecosystem to put forward amazing artifacts to be minted via Nouns.

This edition will be minted with [Zora](https://zora.co), and will be available to mint onchain and at [thisisnouns.wtf](https://thisisnouns.wtf)

# Increase Voting Delay to 5 Days

A proposal, when submitted to Nouns DAO, has to go through the following:

 - 2 days of Voting Delay
 - 5 days of Voting Period

This configuration was last updated in [Prop 161](https://nouns.wtf/vote/161).

I propose we increase the voting delay to 5 days for the following reasons:

 - Gives the public more time to view, evaluate, and discuss props in public before big votes come in and sway opinions.
 - Gaurantees that weekly meetings will be able to discuss every prop no matter when it was submitted.
 - Gives DAOs and Communities with Nouns more time to organize the logistics of posting the props for discussion, holding an internal vote on it, and processing the vote on-chain.

# nouns.eth: set reverse record 

Hi hello,

This is a simple proposal to set the reverse record from the treasury to be nouns.eth. By setting this reverse record, anyone will be able to easily send anything to Nouns by simply inputting nouns.eth.

There are over [50 Nounish DAOs](https://nouns.build) that are donating a nounders reward to Nouns, and with [Prop 190](https://nouns.wtf/vote/190) we are now minting onchain. Unless you happen to know the Nouns address by memory it's not obvious.

![](https://i.imgur.com/gv9fthZ.png)
[*Mint*](https://create.zora.co/collections/0x2209b665f7a875afccc80ff2834641ce82babd9a)

As Nouns continues to do things onchain (like setting up its ENS), it will be increasingly important that the community can easily recognize if something is coming from Nouns or not—setting the reverse record does just that.

I've also added a 1 ETH payment to myself for the idea.

# Nouns Studio1 - extension 2023

[![](https://imgur.com/8yG7T5J.jpg)](https://youtu.be/IeFjt2HFvTU)

Since the first extension, David Horvath via Nouns Studio1 has:

- Made introductions to and continues ongoing discussions with a top executive and now the CEO/founder of one of the “top two” animation movie studios based in the US: intent is development arrangement for co-production of animated content based on Nouns.
- Introduction to a well known motion picture director and producer.
- Introduction to a leading children’s publishing author and his web team.
- Pushed the Sofubi figure project closer to completion, and put together a Nouns exhibition at a leading retail space in Shinjuku with the Nouns sofubi in collaboration with 12 leading creators based in Japan, which resulted in cementing Noun’s position with LOFT in Ginza and being invited to join “pop box”, an exclusive “traveling creator retail promotion” now in it’s 16th year, featured at all LOFT locations in Japan over a 30 month period. The above mentioned exhibition featured Nouns accessory products, produced in small quantities in support of the sofubi project’s primary objective, which were well received and will continue.

Delays: Sofubi paint mask factory has seen delays due to covid restrictions, now back on track for paint mask to be ready 1Q 2023, with Nouns sofubi hitting LOFT shelves in the Spring.

Proposal for Studio1 extension 2023:

David proposes to extend Studio1 for one full year:
- Continue the current conversation with the above mentioned animation studio,
- Discussions with an additional leading studio currently expressing interest.
- Pursue conversations with studio leads recently moved to new positions at top studios.
- In person on the ground in Japan to take efforts from this current extension to next steps, via in person meetings with potential high brand retailers and desired collaboration partners.
- In person on the ground in Seoul, to begin a modified version of the Studio1 approach for Japan, in the Korean market: including a similar collaborative artist exhibition, discussions with potential high brand retailers and desired collaboration partners.
Initiate discussions with leading individuals, executives and firms operating in the character licensing business and consumer products arena. (example: meet with SPC in Seoul to discuss potential collaborations with their brands for the Korean market.)

Compensation: $200,000.00 USD equivalent for one year, start date Jan 4, 2023.
UPDATED:
- No extra expense for travel between US, Japan and Korea. 
- Expected sofubi expenses:
Paint mask estimate has come in at ¥220,000 (about $1600.00 as of todays exchange rate)
per piece cost for Nouns sofubi:
$10 blank, between $18-$30 fully painted, depending on paint applications
I would recommend starting with 50 pieces to go to loft, fully painted in the spring/ summer
So another $1500 usd (depending on exchange rate in the spring) for those first 50

**Total amount: $203,100.00 USDC for one year** (via Sablier)
(includes sofubi mask and first 50 pcs: $3100.00)

# Redirect 10% of future Lil Noun emissions to Lil Treasury

## tl:dr
This proposal requests that NounsDAO redirect 10% of future Lil Nouns emissions. 

## Description
This proposal requests that NounsDAO redirect 10% of future Lil Nouns emissions. 
There will be no change to the DAO's current Lil Noun holdings. The ~722 Lil Nouns currently held by Nouns will remain in the Nouns treasury.

These emissions will be redirected to the Lil Nouns treasury, where they can be used as grants to community builders, or for other initiatives at Lil Nouns DAO's discretion.

# Transfer Lil Noun #1 held in the NounsDAO treasury to the official Ethereum burn address

**Description**
This proposal request is for NounsDAO to burn Lil Noun #1 held in its treasury.  In connection with prop 210 (redirect all future Lil Nouns emissions back to the Lil Noun treasury), the goal of this proposal is to begin the process of exiting our treasury’s Lil Noun position and the first symbolic step is sending token #1 to the official Ethereum burn address: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD.

Let me be clear, Nouners are encouraged to join and participate in various sub-daos as they please. However, we need to be careful cultivating these relationships so that they don’t create conflict of interests and favouritism which ultimately hurt future sub-daos coming down the pipeline. For example, we narrowly avoided a catastrophe with prop 76 (giving a free Noun to Lil Nouns -- not even a month after their launch). That prop was put on-chain by a fellow Nouner whale who currently holds 313 Lil Nouns in their wallet. I understand that it can be difficult to make decisions that go against one’s financial interest, however I feel that many of us Nouners have reached a point in our lives where we can make those selfless choices.   

In conclusion if this proposal were to pass, a followup proposal will be created to burn the remaining +720 Lil Nouns. The process of manually attaching every Lil Noun token transfer tx to the proposal will be quite time intensive, however I will volunteer to undertake this arduous task myself.   

Thank you to all my colleagues for taking the time to read the proposal.

Outcome: CANCELLED
