# Silly Hacks - Sponsoring an Award for an April Fool's themed hackathon in NYC

## TLDR
I'm helping organize an [April Fools Themed Hackathon](https://lu.ma/silly) in NYC on Sat 3/30 and would love to have __Nouns DAO sponsor 3 prizes of $1337 (updated from original $420.69 based on Nouner feedback) each for "Most Nounish Hack"__:

![img](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/keep-bbsk/AFgXFlKFM0qihDIQ9ZnIxZj2CdfH8PHCRKciHxho0KbZspDyfO2h_D8yXdjrs4q7dmQ4sxHErIvnuUkxhkNbq63cXLMpXGy3QiToHraHddLE2wBLV2LO=s855)

## Full Proposal Details
Hey all - nbaronia.eth here. Long time voter, first time proposer. My friends [Jaclyn Chan](https://twitter.com/straightupjac), [Bobby Thakkar](https://twitter.com/BobbyThakkar) and [I](https://twitter.com/nbaronia1) are hosting a hackathon in NYC on Saturday March 30th for people building "Silly Hacks". __The only rules for the hackathon are:__
* __be as silly as you can be__
* __ship to prod__

I think the concept of silly hacks is very aligned with being nounish, and as Chris Dixon wrote in his seminal blog post, [The next big thing will start out looking like a toy](https://cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the-next-big-thing-will-start-out-looking-like-a-toy). 
 
To that end, __I am requesting $4011 ($1337 x 3) to award to the top 3 "Most Nounish Hacks".__ That could be anything cryptonative broadly related to Nouns. Jaclyn, Bobby, and I are all cryptonatives and would be happy to judge and share the hack on socials afterwards and tag Nouns. We are expecting __100+ hackers with diverse backgrounds, ranging from people (1) still in school, (2) people who work in consumer tech, (3) people who work in a creative role (design, product, indie devs, etc) and more.__ 

This is a high signal event to proliferate the nounish meme at. __100% of the proceeds will go towards the prize pool__, as we already have all the other expenses and logistics covered. Other cryptonative sponsors include Lens for $5k. And if you're a Noun in Now York stop by and say hi!

# Gift Matt Downey Noun 301 for the discovery of the unicode noggles

On January 4th, 2022, Matt Downey [tweeted his discovery of the unicode noggles](https://twitter.com/mattdowney/status/1478525833182687233): ⌐◨-◨

![](https://i.imgur.com/HVgYCp9.png "Discovery tweet")

From that day on, the unicode noggles have made their way into every corner of the nouniverse. As a way of both appreciation and celebration, Nounders propose gifting [Noun 301](https://nouns.wtf/noun/301) to Matt. It is a beautiful chipboard Noun, born on May 8th, 2022, the same year as Matt's discovery tweet.

Thank you Matt!

# Gift Noun 778 to John Hamon

**TL;DR : In recognition of John Hamon's work with the Nouns project and [his massive nounish projection on the Eiffel tower](https://x.com/johnhamon_/status/1761348271421747554?s=20) , we propose to award him Noun 778.** 

In August 2022, John Hamon, a renowned and enigmatic street artist, embarked on an innovative collaboration with NounsDAO via [prop 126](https://nouns.wtf/vote/126), blending his ubiquitous presence in Paris and other EU cities with the world of Nouns.

This proposal aims to recognize John Hamon's contributions to the Nouns ecosystem by awarding him [Noun 778](https://nouns.wtf/noun/778), symbolizing both our appreciation and the enduring partnership between the artist and the nounish community.

![](https://imgur.com/dvj7IEy.png)

Noun 778 and Hamonoun

## About John Hamon 

[John Hamon](https://www.instagram.com/john_hamon/) is not just an artist; he is a phenomenon in the Parisian street art scene, known for his ubiquitous face plastered across the city since 2001. Beyond tangible spaces, he always seeks new canvases, delving into NFTs, the Metaverse, and AR early on.

His motto, "It is the promotion that makes the artist," aligns seamlessly with the ethos of the Nouns project as an open-source brand.

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

---

## Prop 126 

A little recap:

- The proposal led to the creation and distribution of 1,000 wheat posters across Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Madrid and Berlin (and Bruxelles might be next, who knows...) 

![](https://imgur.com/5HztAQ5.png)

Paris, Madrid and Berlin

- High impression posts and Parisian newspapers cover story (800k papers) with a paragraph about NounsDAO. 

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

- John Hamon recently orchestrated a spectacular projection on the Eiffel Tower during NFT Paris. Now that's a serious noun-signal!
    Here is a link to [mint](https://foundation.app/@JOHNHAMON-X/jhxn/1)
    JH would also like to send one edition to the NounsDAO treasury. 

![](https://imgur.com/2aOYVxO.png)

- JH and the noggles were also recently spotted on a very large screen in Timesquare, NY. 

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

- On top of that, John Hamon further amplified the campaign's reach by changing his profile pictures on Twitter, Instagram - and Whatsapp- to feature the Nouns glasses, leveraging his following and friends to introduce Nouns to a broader audience. 

---

## Governance 

If awarded noun 778, John is eager to participate in governance, expressing interest in delegating his Noun to community members who support creative initiatives.

---

## Conclusion 

This partnership exemplifies the potential of collaboration between artists and the DAO, hopefully paving the way for future projects together with conceptual and street artists within the Nouns ecosystem.

# Bring Our Nouns Home

There are currently 264 Nouns sitting in the [Escrow Contract ↗](https://etherscan.io/address/0x44d97d22b3d37d837ce4b22773aad9d1566055d9). This proposal withdraws all 264 Nouns from that Escrow contract into the Treasury contract effectively bringing those Nouns home and unifying the Treasury and Escrow Nouns. This will further simplify any future Treasury Noun distribution.

Please feel free to double check my work. 🙏

**Update:**
0.5 ETH was added to cover propose, queue, and execute costs.

**Some Notes:**
*This function call has successfully been used in the past by [Prop 435: Sasquatch Hunting ↗](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/435).*

*This prop currently includes [John Hamon's Noun ↗](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/525). Executing this proposal on time could potentially reserve the provenance of the original proposal and allow it to be executed before expiration on May 8th.*

*This was previously attempted by the team behind [Proposal 457: NounSwap: Choose Your Character! ↗](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/457).*

*h/t to Lil Panda for imagining this concept after the original forks on a live episode of Let's Play Nouns.*

# Increase Fork Threshold to 51%

The current fork threshold is set to 30% and a Nouncil poll was created to decide whether we should submit this proposal to increase it to 51% - it resulted in favour of proposing the change.

# Nouns Fungible Token: audit funding

## TLDR

Asking for 45,625 USDC to audit the $nouns ERC20 token contract and DAO upgrade with Sherlock.


## Context

The $nouns token is designed to be the canonical ERC20 token backed by Nouns. Any Noun could be deposited into the $nouns contract in order to mint e.g. 1M $nouns. Anyone holding 1M $nouns would be able to redeem them for a Noun from the $nouns contract.

For deeper context please see:



* [The token spec](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Uz4l8bAPaA2_gsUVZsZo_1dAmggAiYIn5sYba1IK10Q/edit?usp=sharing).
* [A discussion thread about the spec](https://warpcast.com/el4d/0xddc72a34).


## Scope

We’re deploying a new token factory on mainnet, that lets anyone create a new NFT-backed ERC20 token:



* They have a fixed exchange rate, e.g. 1 NFT = 1M ERC20 tokens.
* The ERC20 token has an Owner account that can upgrade it, as well as disable future upgrades.

We’re upgrading the Nouns DAO logic contract, such that it treats its $nouns akin to how it treats DAO-owned Nouns:



* The DAO’s Nouns redeemable balance is excluded from adjusted total supply.
* One of the DAO’s fork parameters is the list of ERC20 tokens that get sent to fork DAOs; this upgrade rejects attempts to add the $nouns address to this list (again, similar to how we do not send Nouns to fork DAOs today).

For a deeper dive you are welcome to review [the NFT-backed token Github repository](https://github.com/verbsteam/nouns-erc20), and [the DAO upgrade PR](https://github.com/nounsDAO/nouns-monorepo/pull/840).


## Audit Plan

We intend to undergo a 6-day audit with Sherlock, led by [hyh](https://audits.sherlock.xyz/watson/hyh), #4 on Sherlock’s, #6 on code4rena, and lead our recent audits for client incentives and DAO V3. The audit will cost 40,625 USDC. We are also allocating 5K USDC for reviewing potential fixes after the audit (500 USDC x 10 hours).

Total USDC requests: 45,625 USDC.


## Transactions

Similar to the [previous audit proposal](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/505), this proposal’s single transaction approves the verbs multisig to spend the requested budget.

_Note: this approval overrides any previously set approvals, thereby removing any leftover approval balance from the previous audit._

# Nouns Sponsoring the Onchain Summer Buildathon

The future is built by creators, and there's no better community embracing that ethos than Nouns. That’s why I’m proposing that Nouns become a flagship supporter of the Onchain Summer Buildathon — the largest, global, online hackathon dedicated to bringing the world onchain. 

![Onchain Summer](https://images.mirror-media.xyz/publication-images/yyhMh-YKnMgC0jETSQqvv.png?height=1200&width=2400)

This month-long event offers over 200 ETH in prizes to builders, encouraging them to create innovative onchain apps, frames, and experiences. The hackathon will take place throughout the month of June, and be broken into 8 distinct tracks. This proposal would have NounsDAO sponsor the “Unplugged: Making a difference IRL<->URL” track, aligning with Nouns' spirit and mission to fund ideas that make a global impact and introducing the world to both Nouns and the onchain ecosystem through physical activations. The contribution from Nouns would be 10 ETH towards the prize pool, 100% of which goes directly to builders. 

NounsDAO would be included in all Onchain Summer communications, be listed as a primary supporter, receive Nouns branding on the Unplugged track and the ability to run workshops, and have a representative from Nouns as a hackathon judge.

Nouns has already had a significant presence on Base, with [noggles being included in Base Introduced](https://opensea.io/collection/base-introduced), [Nouns Builder moving to Base](https://nouns.build/dao/ethereum/0xdf9b7d26c8fc806b1ae6273684556761ff02d422/vote/90), [grant rounds run using Nouns tooling](https://rounds.wtf/base), and [Nounish subDAOs like Yellow using Base as their chain of choice](https://www.yellowcollective.xyz/). 

Now, by sponsoring the Onchain Summer Buildathon, Nouns can continue to be recognized as an important community within our onchain ecosystem, give funding to builders, and encourage a larger Nounish presence onchain. This also is a significant top of funnel opportunity to attract net-new builders to Nouns — every onchain builder going through the hackathon will be exposed to Nouns and have the opportunity to build in a Nounish way.

Let’s make Onchain Summer based and nounish.

Outcome: EXECUTED
# Noun 877 to Drew Coffman for excellence in governance

Consistent, well-argued, and nonconformist vote reasons (VWRs) provide a cornerstone for functional Nouns governance and I believe we should recognize and celebrate when voters — and especially delegates — do it exceedingly well. I propose we reward [Drew Coffman](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/drewcoffman.eth) with [Noun 877](https://www.probe.wtf/nouns/877) for his contributions. [1]

![Noun 877](https://i.imgur.com/E1IFJT5.png)
![Selection of recent votes](https://i.imgur.com/kmWidGf.png)
![Revotes during March and April](https://i.imgur.com/HXZWEoM.png)

**A word on incentives and setting precedents**
The primary goal of this proposal is to recognize Drew's efforts and signal both to him and the community that his work is valuable.

Secondly, my hope is that it sets a *soft* precedent that the DAO recognizes, and is willing to reward, participants for excellence in governance. Here, VWRs serve as the primary ”Proof of Work” and [Revotes](https://www.nouns.camp/voters) is a good trailing indicator. [2]

**Notes:**
[1] I believe there are other voters who are worthy recipients of Nouns for their efforts in governance but gotta start somewhere, and Drew is the most recent example.

[2] This proposal does *not* aim to set a hard precedent that we should reward Nouns for governance eg. at a specific cadence or when voters meet certain criteria.

# NounSwap v1: Swap Noun 1108 for Noun 788 from the Nouns Treasury

## Summary
                
This proposal seeks to swap **Noun 1108** for **Noun 788** from the Nouns DAO treasury.
                  
Noun 1108   
![Noun 1108](https://noun-api.com/beta/pfp?background=1&body=14&accessory=74&head=152&glasses=1&size=200)

![Noun 788](https://noun-api.com/beta/pfp?background=0&body=13&accessory=101&head=147&glasses=14&size=200)

---

## Rationale for Swap

*This rationale is directly from the creator of the proposal*
Hey, we’re [Paperclip Labs](https://paperclip.xyz/), we design, develop and ship crypto tools and products.

Some of the things we have built in the the Nouns ecosystem include:
- [NounSwap](https://www.nounswap.wtf)
- [Nounish Farcaster Frames](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/paperclip-frames)
- [Yellow Collective frontend](https://www.yellowcollective.xyz)

We’re excited to share that we’ve recently acquired our first Noun — **Noun #1108!** While Noun #1108 is unique, it doesn’t fully align with our brand’s aesthetic.  At Paperclip Labs, we’ve been on the lookout for a Noun with a paperclip head that represents our brand and we could proudly showcase. We believe Noun #788 would be the perfect fit, and we previously attempted to acquire it through [Proposal #457](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/457). Now, we are looking to swap for Noun #788.

We are looking forward to continue to build more tools and infrastructure in the Nouns ecosystem.

Thank you for considering our proposal.

Stay nounish,
The Paperclip Labs Team

## This Prop was created using NounSwap.

[NounSwap](nounswap.wtf) is a tool built for the Nouns communities by [Paperclip Labs](https://paperclip.xyz/). It allows Noun owners to easily create proposals to swap their Noun for a Noun in the DAO treasury. It serves purely as a facilitation tool for proposal creation. NounSwap does not have contracts and does not take custody of any Nouns or tokens at any time.

# Gift Seth, Eric, Chris, & Neil Treasury Nouns

The work, effort, and passion that these four individuals have dedicated over the past two years to achieve the most nounish events and documentary are truly deserving of retrofunded Nouns.

[Nouns Shorts](https://nouns.wtf/vote/180)
[Nouns Fest](https://nouns.wtf/vote/397)

After speaking with each of them, it is clear that they are extremely nounish. Their participation in governance will have a significant impact on our community, potentially attracting other like-minded individuals from their circles. These are their chosen nouns.

# Approve ID 1-10 for Client Incentives

If executed, this proposal approves 10 clients for [Nouns Client Incentives](https://mirror.xyz/verbsteam.eth/I5KgKbcJBjROn4KR_Ks9VcAuQXYUUHwkzGiX0gFbtME). For clients to be able to receive rewards, their client ID needs to be approved by the DAO for withdrawals. This step was added to reduce the risk of bad actors abusing the system.

The reason for batching is to put less governance strain on the DAO. This could've been a prop to only approve Camp (ID 3) but I decided to add more clients that, as far as I can tell, all have good intentions.

**Notes:**

- Nouns.wtf does not participate in client incentives           
- See this blog from the Verbs team for more info on how client incentives work: [https://mirror.xyz/verbsteam.eth/I5KgKbcJBjROn4KR_Ks9VcAuQXYUUHwkzGiX0gFbtME](https://mirror.xyz/verbsteam.eth/I5KgKbcJBjROn4KR_Ks9VcAuQXYUUHwkzGiX0gFbtME)           
- Client ID NFTs can be found here: [https://opensea.io/collection/nouns-client-token](https://opensea.io/collection/nouns-client-token)   
- The idea by frog (see prop comments) to add a blurb for each client was great, but proved hard to synchronize. Instead, i suggest client owners can add a note via onchain comment as the prop goes up for voting.

# Fund Retroactive Rounds via Rounds.wtf

**tldr:**
Allocate 250 ETH towards retroactive rounds via rounds.wtf.

**Context:**
[Prop 506](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/506) passed on Feb 26, 2024 where the Prop House team received 50 ETH to deploy via [Rounds.wtf](https://rounds.wtf). We proposed “exploring a new UX via Farcaster for Nouns to allocate funds through.”

**What's happened since then:**

Some of the experiments we ran since the last prop to get us where we are today: 

- Reply to cast as a way to submit       
- Tagging the @roundsbot to submit       
- All casts filtered by eligible users’ likes as submissions (ding ding ding)       
- Reply to submission and stand alone casts as notifications       
- Dedicated channels for running rounds        
- Media / mint / tags only rounds       
- Deployed v1 & v2 of our claims contracts 

**Nouns rounds results:**

- 3k+ submissions with rewards  
- 1k+ unique users   
- 27 rounds executed 

Allocations were as follows:

- [/nouns](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns): 11 rounds, 32 ETH       
- [/nouns-animators](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-animators): 7 rounds, 14 ETH       
- [/nouns-propdates](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-propdates): 5 rounds, 2.4 ETH       
- [/nouns-draws](https://warpcast.com/~/channel/nouns-draws): 4 rounds, 5 ETH 

The best way to get a real sense of the results is to visit each channel individually via [rounds.wtf](https://rounds.wtf).

**Ask:**

250 ETH, 100% will be used towards funding Nouns contributors.

# Approve ID 14 for Client Incentives

# Noun 663 to Will Papper

I believe the reasoning behind rewarding Drew with a Noun in [prop 539](https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/539) goes double for Will Papper.

In my mind, Will Papper is the most impressive purely 'public servant' we have, and his voice has been both inspirational and helpful in guiding Nouns governance since his first vote in April 2023. Since then, Will has voted on 185 proposals, [all with reason](https://www.nouns.camp/voters/willpapper.eth). [1]

I believe Nouns wants to attract as many Will Pappers as possible and for that reason — and to show our gratitude — i propose we reward him with Noun 663.

![](https://i.imgur.com/GcfTKeb.png "Will also scores high on revotes, placing 4th since the mechanic was introduced.")
