Outcome: EXECUTED
# Allocate Noun to Lil Nouns DAO

This proposal allocates Noun#253 (currently held by the NounsDAO treasury) to the Lil Nouns DAO treasury.


Rationale:

Lil Nouns has demonstrated product market fit, a demand for Nouns exposure at a lower price point, and well-aligned community values.

Nouns DAO receives 10% of Lil Nouns supply for first 5 years, which brings additional utility to the Nouns treasury.

Lil Nouns has broadcast intent to use treasury funds to acquire Nouns, but additionally granting a Noun will demonstrate that we value:
- the ownership stake they have granted NounsDAO
- the positive externalities they have created for the Noun ecosystem

Noun grants in the future to derivative projects should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

Outcome: CANCELLED

Replaces Proposal 76: https://nouns.wtf/vote/76

Instead of directly allocating Noun#253 to the Lil Nouns DAO treasury, create an on-chain offer only fillable by Lil Nouns treasury. 

Lil Nouns will have to successfully pass a governance proposal of their own to accept this offer.

# Sell Noun #253 to Lil Nouns DAO

As an alternative to Proposal 81, we submit to sell Noun #253 to Lil Nouns DAO for a fair market* price of 69.420 ETH.

We don't believe that it is a wise decision to gift Lil Nouns a noun, but we do want to see Lil Nouns succeed, and would like to see them join the DAO. And therefore we propose to facilitate their purchase of one for 69.420 ETH in a historic DAO to DAO on chain transaction.

This is a proposal to create an on-chain offer only fillable by Lil Nouns treasury.

Lil Nouns will have to successfully pass a governance proposal of their own to accept this offer.

This proposal was developed by:
* 142
* Goldy
* Noun 172 | niftynaut
* beautyandpunk | B | Noun 137

_Developed & posted on chain spontaneously during a very productive Nouner World Call_

_* "fair market" was calculated as the lowest noun sale in the past 7 days on auction (67 eth) + 2.42 for the culture_

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Refill Retroactive Funding and Small Grants Pool 

Proposal by Noun 22

The Retroactive Funding and Small Grants Pool is running low on ETH and needs to be refilled. Since [inception](https://nouns.wtf/vote/13) the group has funded a number of project trials, Nouns derivatives, tattoos, ⌐◨-◨s, and other contributions to the Nouns ecosystem.  The full list of everything the group has paid out is available [here](https://noun22.notion.site/noun22/Nouns-DAO-Small-Grants-ac22114a6c004bafa500e2d824e32dc3), with further context on recent activity in these tweets ([1](https://twitter.com/undeadnoun22/status/1529511556811472896), [2](https://twitter.com/undeadnoun22/status/1497274480783028225)).

As the DAO scales, Small Grants role has evolved.  This flexible pool of capital is here to serve the DAO's interest on a fully discretionary basis.

This group was formed with an initial pool of 20 ETH and was [topped up with 50 ETH](https://nouns.wtf/vote/31) in January 2022, and then again [with 100 ETH](https://nouns.wtf/vote/43) in March 2022. This proposal would top up the group's multisig with another 200 ETH.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Protect Treasury (down $43M since April)

Since its peak in April, the treasury has gone from $78M to $35M.

People calculate their expenditures in their native currency (typically dollars) and pay people in the same.

Having some bit in USD allows us to protect against massive downside while being able to pay people in the currency they calculate and pay everyone else in.

This was proposed months ago, and ignored - while such action wouldn't have saved an immense amount of cash, a 10% hedge would have saved ~$4M (which can fund A LOT of cool nounish things).

You might think that ETH can't go any lower, but keep in mind that it went from $1400 to $70 (-95%), right now we are at (-72%) with -95% being at around a price of $250. That would leave our treasury at $6.5M. 

I'm not saying that ETH is going that low, but it's not out of the question in crypto.

To add, we can always buy the ETH back. We have so much ETH, would it hurt to hedge against the chance of an additional 80% drop?

Do the prudent thing. Protect our treasury. Convert 10% of the treasury to USDT.

I'm not adding a transaction because there are a lot of ways to skin this cat and it may best be done with a TWAP.

# Fund Nouns Clients Development 

**tl;dr:**
> Requesting 100 ETH to fund 4 teams 25 ETH each via a a nouner voted Prop House Round to fund Nouns Client development.


## Idea
Developing multiple clients to interact with the Nouns protocol is desirable for various reasons:
- Unexplored design space
- Removes single point of failure
- Decreases reliance on any one vendor, platform and/or technology

Possible directions teams have expressed in taking development:
- Bidder focused: client where the only focus is the bidder's experience. 
- Audience focused: client where the priority are those who are watching the auction (read: social) 
- Post-auction focus: build FOMO on steroids.

## Execution
Teams have already [expressed interest via twitter](https://twitter.com/cryptoseneca/status/1541457754732249090). Conversation around how this evolves is ongoing in the #nouns-clients channel.  The format as it stands today (07/01) is as follows:
- Fund 4 teams @ 25 ETH via a Prop House Round (nouner vote)
- Regroup 1 month after funding to see progress the teams have made
- Either host a bigger round or ask team to directly propose to the DAO for more funding

## Safe
Funds will be managed from a 2/3 safe at `0x58a25b8C593C75F6bcEb2C805a53437DA3C53757` managed by seneca, devcarrot and cdt.

# Verbs 6 Month Engagement Extension

## Background

Verbs term consists of two Solidity/full-stack engineers (Elad and David) who executed Proposal 4 and are on the tail end of a 3 month engagement with the Tech Pod (Proposal 54). In the last ~2 (of 3) months engagement the team has conducted R&D, implemented, and tested significant improvements to the Nouns protocol such as dynamic quorum (https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/438) and descriptor v2 (https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/499).

Based on the success of this trial engagement, the Tech Pod and Verbs teams want to re-engage on a 6 month contract with updated terms.

## Contract Terms

- 6 month engagement starting August 1.
- Either party can cancel with 1 month advanced notice.
- Nominal $37.5k per person (2) per month (6) paid in USDC or ETH.
- 3 ETH per month for Tech Pod member Solimander for time spent managing roadmap, meetings, code reviews, and rollout.

## Compensation

- Verbs compensation: 472.5 ETH
    - 5% volatility buffer included
    - To be converted to USDC upon receipt
- Additional for Tech Pod member: 18 ETH
- Total: 490.5 ETH

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Descriptor V2 Upgrade

This proposal activates a new version of the Nouns Descriptor contract, which contains many improvements upon the previous version. The Descriptor is the contract that stores and renders Noun artwork and token metadata.

**Descriptor Improvements**:

* Significantly cheaper on-chain art deployment, which largely benefits builders that fork the Nouns protocol. The gas required to deploy the Nouns artwork has been reduced nearly 5x.
* Improved external API, which boosts composability by allowing external contracts to more easily hook into the Noun artwork and rendering engine.
* Improved descriptor upgradability. The new descriptor separates the artwork, renderer, and facilitator contracts, which enable much cheaper upgrades (e.g. trait retirement).

**Note**: This proposal is separate from the 8/8 art additions, which will be proposed separately in the coming weeks.

* [Specification](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-tech/blob/main/descriptor-v2/README.md)
* [Pull Request](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/499)

This code has been reviewed by multiple technical community members, has unit/integration test coverage, and has been tested on both Rinkeby and Mainnet.

In addition, we’ve retroactively fixed seven art errors and oversights. These fixes will not only apply to art moving forward, but will reach back in time to correct Nouns that contain the offending traits. All fixes are either recoloring of existing pixels or removing of extra pixels. Most errors are likely a result of iteration and palette color reduction prior to the launch of Nouns - some that melded two colors into one, or put two formerly-different colors closer to one another. No pixels are being added in this update. Emoji voting in discord indicated support for this effort.

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

**Piggybank**: Removal of cluster of erroneous pixels around the tail region.

Reason for error: Oversight.

**Beer**: There are several pixels that are only slightly off in color. They've been filled in with the correct color so it's all one full-bodied beer.

Reason for error: Weirdness created by palette color reduction.

**Multicolored glasses**: There are inconsistent rules applied to this trio of frames, resulting in a distracting appearance from one to the next. Additionally, this fix helps retain the frame shape unless they're going to blend into the head, which is an anomaly.

Reason for error: Oversight.

**Watermelon frames**: These were the same color as the Guava frames. This pushes them into riper, melony territory.

Reason for error: Likely palette crushing creating weirdness.

**Fog Grey body**: This was the same color as CRT beige. This pushes it into foggier, greyer territory.

Reason for error: Weirdness created by palette color reduction.

# Prop 56 FUN Frames Re-evaluation

Prop 56 was funded for 55 ETH (165K) to make 5K FUN Frames:
 
Price Breakdown was: 
Pre-Production – ~50K 
Production – ~80K 
Shipping – 15K 
Warehousing for 1 year – 12K 
Liability Insurance for 1 year – 9K 
 
Klim/Bigshot Toyworks received 5ETH on 4/13/22 (3,029 ETH) and 15 ETH on 4/27/22(2,800 ETH) for pre-production and tooling costs. The remaining ETH was held in a Gnosis until samples were delivered and the tooling was complete. 
 
Early May they cashed out: 
5E at ~$3,029 (4/17) = 15,145 
5E at ~$2,930 = 14,650 
10 at ~$2,450 = 24,200 
Total = ~53,995 USDC (would have been 57,000 if cashed out right way) 
 
After this, while the funds were in the Gnosis the price of ETH dropped significantly and we began discussing what we should do for creators needing USD to complete projects moving forward. We saw an example with Prop 73 where the funds were converted to USDC. We landed on this being a good path forward.  We continued to discuss balances needed to complete projects before this precedent was set. 
 
For Klim the remaining ETH was held in a Gnosis Safe while tooling was completed and samples were made. He delivered his product on time as promised. He incurred additional expenses for rush fees and shipping on samples that were sent to Austin & NYC. He is now ready for production but the funds are short. 
 
While tooling was being created and the price of ETH dropped significantly I was not comfortable making any decisions with the DAO’s funds independently. I began having multiple conversations within the DAO to discuss how to finish this Prop and the best path forward.  It seemed that converting the balance in the Gnosis to USDC was the best move while we figured out how to treat the remaining funds needed to complete the Prop.  On July 8th I made a Swap for the remaining 35ETH to USDC and sent 42,163 USDC to Klim.  
 
The total needed to finish this project is $116,000 of which Klim has $42,000. He needs an additional $74,000 (~50ETH on 7/28/22) and deliver:

5000 pcs Incl. 500 GOLD NOUNDER GIFTS:
3500 RED
500 BLACK 
500 WHITE
500 CHROME GOLD -exclusive to NOUN holders 

Send Klim 55 ETH to be converted to 74,000 USDC
FUN Frames Multisig: 0x6C3A3374f1250597431d4ead59C35FBadf132b40

# Mandated Round: Nouns Governance

**tl;dr:**
> Request to fund a second mandated round for 100 ETH to fund 5 teams @ 20 ETH each with the mandate to build alternative Nouns Governance clients.

# Summary

Given the success of our first mandated round, let's keep momentum up and kick-off a second mandated round for Nouns governance clients. For folks who missed it: an overview of the Nouns Client round:

- [35 proposals](https://prop.house/nouns-mandates) from top caliber builders
- 1416 votes casted (a record for Prop House)
- [4 teams funded](https://twitter.com/nounsprophouse/status/1551692309116379137)
- A record breaking % of highly desirable proposals
- Noun-pilled top quality folks

This time around, we’d be inviting builders to propose ideas for alternative Nouns Governance clients. While our classic [nouns.wtf/vote](https://nouns.wtf/vote) gets the job done, there is a lot more to explore regarding Nouns governance. This might take several directions:

- Delegation marketplace
- Better info curation to make more informed decisions
- New voting / dicussions mechanisms for Nouners to better signal prior to going on-chain
- Post-funding trackers

> Recommended reading to get creative juices flowing: [Discussion: Request for Nounish Governance Experiments](https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/discussion-request-for-nounish-governance-experiments/1859)

The thing to note is that there are good ideas outside of the community and highly competent builders ready to execute on them. Prop House mandated rounds are a way to not only build up the Nouns ecosystem but also onboard top-notch builders as well.

# Scope

The mandate would be around Nouns Governance. Any proposal to build a client that improves Nouns Governance in a meaningul way is welcome.

The round will be hosted in the [Nouns Mandates house](https://prop.house/nouns-mandates) with two weeks proposal time and one week for voting by nouners.

# Safe

Funds will be managed from a 2/3 safe at `0x58a25b8C593C75F6bcEb2C805a53437DA3C53757` managed by seneca, devcarrot and cdt.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Integrate 8/8 Anniversary Art

To celebrate the one year anniversary of Nouns DAO on 8/8, we're proud to introduce 8 heads, 3 accessories, and 2 glasses into the Nouns protocol!

These selections were chosen from nearly 500 community proposed traits. Thank you to all who contributed art, as well as to the noundry committee, who refined and curated the submissions!

# Liberating Proposal Threshold for 26 years

Change the threshold to put a proposal on-chain from the current 2 votes to 1 vote.

Why:
- We are disenfranchising roughly 80% of noun holders currently.
- We are not seeing many proposals coming in.
- We want to empower any nouner or delegate to participate in the DAO.

Setting the proposal threshold to 1 would require 2 votes again once we passed 9999 nouns in roughly 26 years.

Outcome: DEFEATED
# Pilot: Crowdsourced Prop House

### tl;dr:

Requesting 40 ETH to pilot using Prop House as a self-curation tool.

### Preliminary Round:

The preliminary round will be used to source ideas for prop house topics from the community. The two submissions with the most votes will each be chosen as the theme of a subsequent 20 ETH prop house round.

The preliminary round will NOT reward the winning submissions, so as to not incentivize spam/duplicates.

### Secondary Round:

The prize distributions for the secondary rounds will be left up to the sole discretion of the Prop House team within the following bounds:

Minimum: 1 x 20 ETH
Maximum: 5 x 4 ETH

It is also left up to the discretion of the Prop House team to decide how to best conduct this experiment, as long as the specifications above are met.

### Safe
Funds will be managed from a 2/3 safe at 0x58a25b8C593C75F6bcEb2C805a53437DA3C53757 managed by seneca, devcarrot and cdt.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Noundry Community Compensation

This proposal aims to retroactively compensate the Noundry community for their part in making Season 0 a success. Total ask of 25 eth.

We believe the community is largely to thank for making Noundry into something more than a mere contest. Instead, the Noundry evolved into a collaborative experience — a festival — where artists from around the world came together to inspire and build upon each other's ideas, using Nouns pixel art as a canvas to unite around.

The artwork we eventually added to the Nouns Descriptor contract resulted from a group effort and would not have been the same without the participation of the larger community.

With this proposal, we want to acknowledge that the collaborative, explorative side of the Noundry is as vital as the outcome and hope to set an example for upcoming Noundrys.

## Compensation

### Community compensation

We think community compensation is best left to the community to decide. The alternatives would be equal distribution to all participants or attempting the almost impossible task of centrally deciding who had a meaningful impact on the Noundry. None of these options feel exciting or in the spirit of the Noundry.

To manage this, we're using [Coordinape](https://coordinape.com/), a community compensation platform, and want to allocate a pool of 24 eth for the Noundry season 0 community to split up amongst themselves.
 

**Coordinape rules**
- Participants eligible to vote: [https://hackmd.io/@krel/noundry-coordinape](https://hackmd.io/@krel/noundry-coordinape)
- Each participant receives three votes
- Participants allocate votes based on who they think had the largest positive impact on their own experience
- Participants cannot vote for themselves
- Participants cannot vote for artists with winning traits in Noundry Season 0
    - Facu, Gremplin, Goldy, Modrovsky, LuckyCryptoCats, Fuyu, Nountris

**Total: 24 eth**

### Summary
- Coordinape round: 24 eth
- Administration (run by maty): 1 eth
- **Total compensation: 25 eth**

### Transactions
-  1 eth to maty
    -  0x3E3928d651b431608F81Dd1129a56344d6A256EC
