The summer slowdown might be real, but the past two weeks have been anything but quiet - a reminder that public infrastructure attracts public drama. With some noise from outside Builder and a fresh DAO hitting turbulence right out of the gate, the Tech Pod stayed steady, shipping improvements and keeping the protocol chugging along. Keep reading for highlights from the latest product workshop, a fresh Farcaster Mini App, markdown support for Propdates, and everything else humming under the hood.

And before we dive into the latest updates from the Tech Pod, another reminder to submit the proposal for the metadata renderer fix for your DAO! Check out the cast below for more info.

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

Farcaster

Welcome to our new section focused on the evolving tools and infrastructure behind Builder DAO. Over the past weeks, we’ve rolled out markdown support for Propdates, rebuilt the Farcaster Mini App, and introduced onchain notifications through Builder Bot. We’re also working on improvements for delegation views, metadata display, and streamlined proposal templates. Whether you’re building, voting, or just following along, this is your space to catch up on progress, and weigh in on what matters next.

• Time flies and our next product community session is just around the corner. Will you be around on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 12:00  PM (EST)? Let us know!

  • Follow up on prioritised action items from last session

  • Small retrospective on session format

  • Next up - revisiting tools that didn't make the final cut

  • Review of new feature requests, such as: Base Name support, metadata, founder rewards, and displaying of rarity

  • Business models beyond NFTs

  • If you have tooling not listed above, this is your opportunity to make it top of mind.

• Soon we will introduce additional features for showing delegations. We welcome feedback for tailoring this functionality.

• Have a feature request or bug? Let us know!

During the last sprint we focused on enhancing tooling that is used by the community to share and collaborate on governance activity. Keeping our communication tools easy to use, yet comprehensive is important for supporting voting, reporting, and disseminating on DAO processes. You got something that is not covered below? Find benedictvs.eth or dan13ram.eth on Discord and let us know or tag us on an issue you can create here.

While the first version of Propdates was minimally viable, especially for longer propdates usability was not ideal. For this reason, we have now added full markdown support and the interface allows you to select a milestone to provide milestone-specific updates.

Nouns Builder previously was supported as a Frame, but with Farcaster's move to the Mini App standard DAO members were not able to use nouns.build on Farcaster anymore. That's why we took the previously supported feature set and updated it to become a Mini App. You can now share your DAO on Farcaster and interact with it. If a highly desired feature is not yet supported, please let us know.

We got it merged! After retrieving all the details around the Builder Bot - a community contribution - we merged the PR that enables Farcaster direct cast notifications for Propdates. We used the opportunity to also integrated the Builder Bot hosting into DAO management.

On May 29 we hosted our first community product prioritization session, which was attended by more than a handful of dedicated Builder DAOists. Since we introduced this format, we are looking for feedback on what you got out of the session and how you would like this session to be improved in the future.

From this interaction with all of you, who attended, we took a tight roadmap with seven features that are actionable and concise. These features are:

1. Enhance the displaying of delegations

2. Display and send support for non-native assets

3. Adding timestamps and block explorer links to executed transactions, such as proposals and bids

4. Providing a reusable template site including the publication of components, hooks, and utils

5. Complementing the documentation

6. Extending the member profile page feature set

7. Adding stream proposals

• Propdates

  • Enabled farcaster notifications (builderbot update)

  • Added markdown support

  • Added support selecting milestone for escrow types proposals

• Updated Farcaster Mini App

• Chain IDs and chain logos are now shown on the OG image for proposals and DAO tokens

• Migrated Tenderly simulations to latest API to fix failing simulations

• Enabled promised support of ENS in address inputs

• Upgraded dApps and community tooling to the latest Web3 Dependencies

• Commenced testing and fixing wallet related issues

• You can now create a proposal to nominate an escrow delegate from the proposal drop down menu
