Just like skaters need the right tools for their tricks and surfers need solid gear to ride the barrel, Gnars shredders and builders need powerful protocols and platforms to bring it all together and create real value. Today, we're diving into some rad IRL Gnarly moments and a bit of onchain execution too. Keep it Gnarly!

Over the past month, we’ve seen some truly gnarly accomplishments that took Nounish energy to new heights, sports, skateable, and downright monumental. We’re talking about Nounstacles, NogglesRails, and other public goods bringing life to skateparks that need it most. All of it rolled out alongside parties, events, and community vibes that push the manifesto of skate and sport even further. These aren’t just proposals, they’re gifts to the culture. D.I.Y
AppCon 2025, held during Milan Design Week (April 7–13), showcased the intersection of innovation, design, and technology and NounsDAO made its mark. One of the highlights was the launch of a brand new Nogglesrail, adding yet another spot to the global map, this time in Italy, planting the Nounish flag firmly in Europe.
The project was led by builder Jacopo, in partnership with NounsDAO and Gnars, bringing street culture, skateboarding, and public goods into the heart of Milan. Other builders like Fatty were also present, contributing to the vibrant and collaborative energy of the event. AppCon served as a creative hub to display apps, art, and products from the Nouns ecosystem, all in a truly nounish way.
7Capas is making a strong return to print after 7 years, blending traditional media with the digital world to further strengthen the Latin American skateboarding scene.
This month, 7Capas approved a special proposal for a printed edition of the magazine, featuring an exclusive article about the Styland trip, led by one of the builders from Gnars.
Names like Zima, Fernando Ferreira, Vlad, Will Dias, Dino, Willy Wonka, and Highlander are part of this special edition, which includes a full article covering the experience at Devcon Thailand 2024 — packed with skateboarding, culture, and fun.
A total of 2,000 copies will be printed and distributed across more than 40 skateshops, cafés, and art galleries throughout Argentina. Additionally, 100 copies will be sent to friends of Gnars and Nouns around the world.

Over the past few months, Zora transitioned from Contests to COINtests — shifting focus toward tokens, secondary markets, and a new Uniswap partnership. While cool, we lost some handy DAO features, like Droposals. But our Gnars devs didn’t back down, they brewed some strong coffee, rolled up their sleeves, and cracked the code. Now it’s back. Big thanks to the dev squad! 💥

Dave Bachinsky Giveaway – Running now on IG, an online miniramp skate contest with best trick clips and prizes! Check out his profile to join in.
The Mini Ramp at Méier was revitalized with support from the community and Gnars. The reopening event featured heavy skate sessions and the Tricks for Decks with pro skater Ionir Mera, who rewarded the best tricks with his Gnars pro model decks.
Fun fact: Jadson Brian was a skate icon from Rio's north side. After his passing in 2020, the ramp became a symbol of his lasting legacy.
We're not just throwing up stickers. We're upgrading D.I.Y spots and skateparks where support is truly needed. These actions prioritize communities that benefit most, while also bringing the space to life with Nounish art, local music, and cultural movement. It’s not just improvement, it’s innovation with real onboarding into the Gnars and Nouns ecosystem. Special thanks to the sacred Meier ramp for welcoming this activation, and shout out to all the builders who showed up and made it happen. Gnarly things are built together.
Skater and builder from Skatehive and Gnars, Webgnars landed in Brazil and dove into an intense experience in Rio de Janeiro. He visited a favela that just got a skatepark built by the community itself, explored the local culture, tried traditional foods, and was warmly welcomed by Brazilians.
Alongside friends Vlad and Highlander, he lived five days of Carnival chaos in the streets, hitting blocos and samba school parades.
The trip’s still going! Follow along through the links below. Have a great trip, Webgnars! Enjoy Brazil.

Last week in São Paulo, our friends at PlayDNA launched Nouns House , a brand new home for meetups, talks, hackathons, workshops, and everything that drives the crypto ecosystem in Brazil.
Straight from the blockchain. Built for builders.
The Open House was dope. Over 250 people showed up to celebrate this historic moment. In the heart of Latin America’s biggest city, a hub for coders, artists, athletes, and crypto natives was born. The space was filled with art, music, sustainability, tattoos, food, and strong nounish energy.
Hosted at @loginexp, the largest gaming hub in Brazil, Nouns House is here to connect communities and co-create experiences like never before. And yes, our gnarly favicon icon was there, styling the space and adding that signature touch only CORE can bring.

As always, we wrap up another edition of Gnarly News with our Gnarly Video of the Month — now live on the Gnars Community profile on Zora, continuing our tradition of turning moments into onchain memories. This month, we kept things simple. After so much IRL action, we wanted to shine a light on the builders and devs who make all of this happen, the ones creating real spaces for skate, art, culture, and freedom to thrive.
At the heart of it all is the power of audiovisual storytelling and NFTs. Through video, we're not just documenting the culture ... we’re minting it. We're showing the world what it looks like to build onchain with style, community, and impact.
For 3 years now, GnarsDAO has been relentlessly creating, funding, and capturing radical action — blending Noggles, sports, and creative energy in ways only this community can. This video is a tribute to that spirit. By minting an edition, you’re grabbing a piece of Gnarly history while directly supporting the future! The majority of mint proceeds go to the Gnars treasury, funding more shredders, communities, and projects in 2025.
See you soon with the next edition of Gnarly News, family! Let’s shred, create and make even more impact in 2025!
