# Dawn of a New Era

By [Builder Buzz](https://paragraph.com/@builder) · 2024-01-24

Bali is almost here! Please get your votes in on [Proposal 87](https://nouns.build/dao/ethereum/0xdf9b7d26c8fc806b1ae6273684556761ff02d422/vote/0x09b13614894dce1d122460ad5235f0c98ea8222ce352ed4a9486306b7d5d2cd8) to deploy the latest upgrade to the Nouns Builder Protocol, Bali, to Layer 2s. This is a significant step in the evolution of the protocol that has been in the works for a long time! Shout out to the Tech Pod and all of the devs who contributed to making this a reality.

Based and Yellow Week Winding Down
----------------------------------

Based and Yellow Week has been a blast, and The Yellow Collective auctions are off to a great start. We've somehow even seen two ship-in-a-bottle heads in a row! The odds of that are really low, so it's pretty crazy to see. And if you didn't catch the news, there is a swag bag of goodies available for the winners of the first 30 tokens! Check out the announcement below for more details.

Built on Builder
================

This week's featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is BLVKHVND. They are creating an emerging ecosystem for onchain esports organizations, with a mission to be the center of competition no matter where it lives. They became the first DAO to win a professional world championship and are now striving to make BLVKHVND fully owned and stewarded by its community to continue building on that success.
