Over the past several weeks, the DUNA admins have been focused on improving technical infrastructure, reducing operational expenses, and continuing to refine the DAO’s operations. Below is a summary of updates across the Nouns.wtf platform, service providers, and general DUNA administration and operations.Nouns.wtf Infrastructure UpdatesSubgraphs Recently, the original subgraphs powering Nouns.wtf (both Mainnet and Sepolia) unexpectedly went offline. These subgraphs are critical infrastructure that power many features of the Nouns ecosystem. Additionally, the propdates subgraph 404'd, which took down propdates.wtf. To address this:Replacement subgraphs were deployed for both Mainnet and Sepolia.A replacement service and new subgraph were deployed at: https://propdates.nouns.wtfThese updates restore the data indexing required for proposals, governance tracking, and related services. Transaction Encoding Fixes were deployed to resolve transaction encoding errors that occasionally occurred when users submitted proposals or candidates. Additionally, Etherscan API calls for submitting custom transactions were upgraded due to the deprecation of previous version of the API. Candidate Page Improvements The Candidates page received several optimizations aimed at improving responsiveness and reducing unnecessary load. Changes include:Previously, the page fetched all candidates on initial load, the page now uses lazy loading with a smaller initial batchCancelled candidates are no longer displayedA UI bug was fixed where a proposer holding enough Nouns to propose could trigger incorrect behaviorCost ReductionsA review of the Nouns.wtf infrastructure stack resulted in cost savings of nearly 50%.Previous Annual Cost - Approximately $2,034.36/yearNew Projected Annual Cost - Approximately $1,126.16/yearKey ChangesRailway and Vercel services were cancelledNetlify costs reduced to $66 annually (These costs are currently not paid from the DUNA wallet but will migrate shortly)ANKR RPC services remain usage-based, currently averaging about $75 per quarterNew subgraphs are currently operating within free-tier limits, but this is subject to changeAccounting Provider UpdateThe DAO’s agreement with its current accounting provider concluded at the end of January. Throughout the past year the team evaluated multiple providers in preparation for this transition. Two options are currently under consideration: New Provider Proposal$4,350/month$425/month pass-through tooling feeTotal: $4,775/month ($57,300/year)Counter Proposal$50,000/yearEquivalent to approximately $4,166.67/monthA decision will be made after evaluating the cost, capabilities, and continuity considerations of both options.KYC System Cost ReductionWe renegotiated KYC costs with our service provider.Previous Cost - $1,088.75/monthNew Cost - $250/monthThis reduction preserves the same compliance flows and functionality while significantly lowering overhead. For context, a comparable provider would require at least $299/month for similar functionality.Veto StructureAs discussed during the DUNA transition process, inactive Foundation members were removed from the veto multi-sig. This ensures the veto structure reflects the currently active administrative participants responsible for governance oversight.BankingOneSafe, the DAO’s neobank provider, recently switched card providers. During this transition:Card access has been temporarily unavailableService is expected to be restored in MarchAnnual RenewalsThe following administrative services renew in March:Registered Agent: $99/yearMail Forwarding: $99/yearAdmin Proposal NoteGoing forward, proposals submitted by admin.nounsduna.eth will be submitted either:directly through Nouns.wtf, orwithout a client IDFinal 2025 Financials ReportThe report below serves as the DAO’s final financials package for 2025, presenting a complete summary of treasury activity, grant distributions, and administrative expenditures for the year.Nouns DAO 2026 FinancialsThis browser version is no longer supported.
