The Bali security audit contest, hosted by Sherlock, is now in full swing. Running through December 1st, this crucial phase in our impending upgrades is essential for guaranteeing the security of our code. Participants are engaged in a comprehensive review of the contracts, identifying potential vulnerabilities for our devs to address. For those interested in the contest's progress, you can follow along here. Nouns Builder @nounsbuilder Our audit contest is now live! 8 10:11 AM • Nov 22, 2023 Prop Submission ThresholdCurrently, a user must own or be delegated 2 Builder tokens to submit proposals.

MODEL-WIP is a community project to crowdfund the creation, usage, and collective ownership of a unique generative image model. More specifically, they are going to commission an artist to produce a body of work, train an image generation model on that work, and monetize the model by making it freely usable within SOURCE. You can learn more about SOURCE here and the project as a whole in the thread below. 𝖘𝖔𝖗𝖊𝖓 𝖏𝖔𝖍𝖓 @sorenwrenn What if a community owned a unique 1-of-1 AI image model? And what if that model made $ for it's owners whenever it was used? What would we make and how would it be used? Enter a new experiment in collective ownership we're calling MODEL-WIP.com [1/8] 69 3:43 PM • Nov 2, 2023 BasedNouns DropThe Based Nouns mint is live and they're already nearing 1,000 mints!
