There’s never a dull moment in the Builder universe! This week, a protocol-wide update was pushed to all DAOs to address image resolution issues on secondary marketplaces. It’s a minor fix, but a clear demonstration of how quickly and effectively the new Tech Pod is operating. On the governance side, recent tensions within the DAO have sparked important conversations about direction and accountability. While disagreements are part of any growing ecosystem (especially a decentralized one), it’s worth remembering we’re all here to build something meaningful. Let’s keep it respectful, stay focused on progress, and work together to shape a future that reflects the best of what this community can be.
ATTENTION ALL DAOS ON NOUNS BUILDER: The Metadata Renderder fix is now available -- look for the prop template under "Activity" to launch this fix. This is related to BuilderDAO Prof 37. Thanks @scottrepreneur.eth and team! https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/bb895762-ba3c-45d3-fb2b-1b303faec500/original https://warpcast.com/nounishprof/0x6054709e
Trait reveal! Reaching higher. Standing taller. The spire signals ambition—the city’s skyline signature that says, we’re here. This trait’s for the architects of progress and the dreamers who always aim upward. Also, the first token with the YELLOW NOGGLES on public auction! https://nouns.build/dao/base/0xdf4f168ba41c88ab4d0f1e2117110600c7e44b6d/23 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/62edc956-af44-42d7-7978-ee4f18c1fd00/original
1/4 Apology, y'all, been really under the weather since Saturday night. In that time, we had some fun tokens come onchain, including the first Mona! An thread... https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/3f521af3-4207-400a-447a-6cd34c6db200/original
Not a pest. A survivor. A native. The City Rat Head honors those who know every alley, dodge every trap and still find a way to thrive. In every city, someone’s gotta know the underground. https://nouns.build/dao/base/0xdf4f168ba41c88ab4d0f1e2117110600c7e44b6d/19 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/de86a989-03eb-41d3-688b-e711db70d000/original

Gnars DAO isn’t our future, but an iteration on DAOs might be. Gnars . cc is where I’ll share my deeper thought, but for now… Gnars CC as in: + Crypto Currency + Creative Commons + Credit Cartel Our mission: grow the brand and accrue value back to our community coin. Wdyt? https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/a1468d08-911e-4c64-5840-c3e1018e7300/original

could coins for every token minted become a revenue stream for daos? they don’t need intrinsic value just speculative potential it should be up to the auction winner to decide what to offer their holders but I'm thinking hard about the fees generated through an attention market emerging from public goods https://warpcast.com/r4topunk/0xeb715f28

Nouns Prop 789 is now live! We're so thrilled to bring OFFCHAIN, online! A few quick updates before you head to the polls... The skate event will now be known as the OFFCHAIN Skatejam and will feature several of NYCs all-ages skate orgs + skateshop crews. Some of our friends from HIGHER will be stopping by to say hello, but not as a presenter. Still gonna make them do a kickflip. Part of the skate jam budget will now be used towards creating a /gnars approved noggle rail to be left permanently for the local skaters. It will be the first nounstacle to be made in NYC. We're going to switch to sourcing local NYC bagels (it's the water they tell us), juice and coffee for our skaters / guests. The remainder we will allocate towards helping rail welder costs. BASED GHOULS will now be co-presenting the Flowers for Memories stand on the condition that I used dried (dead) flowers for the arrangements. I have agreed to these terms. See you all in NYC! https://www.nouns.camp/proposals/789 https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/8934953d-c945-4a64-3f7c-2600f47b6700/original https://warpcast.com/errorgardener/0xd922b277

The Hypercommons is the DNA of cultural coordination. A protocol layer for the intergenerational transmission of cultural information (memes). An awakening from the meaning crisis. An operating system for collective consciousness. Nouns shouldn’t fund ideas. Nouns should build serendipity machines. Experiments in coordination. Mechanisms for emergence. Build the Hypercommons or be forgotten. Be a visionary or go unseen. Coordinate or die. ⌐◨-◨ https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/e3ae091f-6f07-4737-29e4-9ce48c895800/original
