No, not overpowered, you nerds. We're talking about Nouns Builder on Layer 2s! Builder engineers Zaak and Neokry have launched the testnet versions of the Nouns Builder protocol on Base and Optimism! Really exciting times ahead for the Builder Protocol as we expand the accessibility of the protocol to these cheaper and faster networks. Before the protocol can fully launch on mainnet, we need as many people as possible to test the various functions on the testnet. Head over to testnet.nouns.build to give it a go, and be sure to leave your feedback here.
L2 Optimism and Base testnets are now available for beta testing on Nouns Builder!
Test it out and share feedback before we deploy to mainnets.

ng has been hard at work on the Builder DAO iOS app which is currently pending Apple approval for launch in the iOS app store!

Builder Channel on Farcaster
The Builder feed mentioned in last week's newsletter is now available to everyone!

This feed displays activity from members of Builder and onchain activity such as auctions, proposals, and votes.

Built on Builder
This week's featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is bitNouns. bitNouns are an expansion DAO based on Lil Nouns DAO, with the aim of exposing more people to Lil Nouns and in turn Nouns DAO. It provides an extremely low barrier of entry into NFTs and the Nounish ecosystem and provides users with the opportunity to learn how Nounish governance works over at Nouns101.wtf.
