# Prop House IRL Experience 💡

![](https://i.imgur.com/coC4yHP.gif)

[Prop House](https://prop.house) is an excellent entry point for builders in the Nouns ecosystem. The Nouns in Rio team is requesting **9 ETH + 9,500 USDC** to create an engaging Prop House Experience in a hub brimming with innovators.
‎ 
## How 👀

We plan to create a round in the upcoming Nouns in Rio House and open exclusively* to all [Blockchain Rio](https://blockchainfestival.io/) attendees, a place full of builders aspiring to build for the Web3 ecosystem and push the boundaries of innovation.

A pool of 7 ETH will be designated to back 20 projects, each set to receive 0.35 ETH. Proposals must aim to enhance Prop House in some way, whether through community integration, explainer videos, code development, and more. After the event, Nouners will have a one-week voting window to determine which projects get funded.

**During the event, we'll ask builders interested in submitting a proposal to fill out a form. This ensures that all proposals come from verified event participants.*

## Why 🤔

We want individuals to recognize Prop House as a platform where they can get funding to bring their ideas to life. By showcasing the diverse groups already benefiting from the platform, we aim to inspire them to consider how they can engage their own communities in similar ways.

The true value of this experience lies not only in funding individual projects but also in connecting talented builders to the Nouns DAO community. By cultivating this relationship, we create a pathway for ongoing collaboration and innovation, encouraging them to continue contributing to and growing with the community.

Check out all the amazing things that have come from Prop House. **Nouns has funded one of the best Web3 platforms, and it's high time we spread the word about it.**

## Where 📍

We discovered Prop House at an event and from that moment we knew we wanted to create an IRL experience for it. Now, we have the perfect chance. We'll be at the largest Web3 & Business event in Latin America, [Blockchain Rio](https://blockchainfestival.io/), from September 12th to 14th, alongside big names like Polkadot, CoinEx, Polygon, Ledger, and more. It's the ideal place to find passionate builders and introduce them to Prop House.

Take a look at the first edition of the event from 2022, which attracted more than 22,000 visitors, featured 432 speakers, and generated 86 million reais in economic impact for the state of Rio de Janeiro.

## Lounge 🛋️

Our lounge will include two interactive totems that enable attendees to explore Prop House and toggle between different houses and rounds. Additionally, two large TVs will display a video produced by us, highlighting projects funded by various communities through Prop House. The lounge backdrop will offer step-by-step instructions, complete with a QR code, for submitting proposals.

All of this will support the team in explaining what Prop House is and how it works. We'll also **give a talk** at the event and invite people to join the experience and submit their projects.

Nouns in Rio team has successfully organized various nounish IRL events, including [Nouns Week](https://nounsweek.wtf/rio-de-janeiro/), the [Treasure Hunt](https://twitter.com/NounsInRio/status/1574418495911219201), [social actions](https://twitter.com/NounsInRio/status/1606765831064588288) for Prop House's Nounish Holidays and many others.

## Budget 💰

With 7 ETH, we can fund a diverse range of projects with a meaningful ETH value. JP and Debinvest will each receive 1 ETH for managing the project and staffing the lounge during the event. The cost for setting up and operating the event space, which includes event fees and production expenses, will be 9,500 USDC. In case fewer than 20 proposals are submitted, **all remaining ETH will be returned to the DAO.**

## Success ✨

After the event concludes, we'll provide the DAO with both an aftermovie and a detailed report. This report will feature key metrics like site visits during the event (provided by the Prop House team if possible), submitted proposals, QR code scans, and minted POAPs. We'll also extend an invitation to all funded project leads to join the [Nouns in Rio Discord server](https://discord.gg/yBFRt2D894) for ongoing project follow-up, ensuring sustained engagement and support.

To amplify our impact, we'll actively engage the community through our Portuguese Nounish channels like [@nounsinrio](instagram.com/nounsinrio), [@nounsbr](instagram.com/nounsbr) and [@thenounsquarebr](https://www.tiktok.com/@thenounsquarebr). The engagement metrics from these channels will be included in our final report.

We recognize this is a pivotal time for the DAO, but due to the time-sensitive nature of our project, we felt the need to proceed. Thank you for reading and considering this proposal. Let's take Prop House to the streets! 💡
