TNS also recently managed to secure funding for the next 6 months after smashing the goals of their previous prop and extending the work (thanks to a great treasury management and securing additional revenue) from the promised 6 months to 10 months!
(Btw they recently hosted the 800th Noun O'Clock live in a row! 800!!!!! Ain't that crazy?!)
We've seen the role of dynamic quorum rise in the past weeks (proposal defeated by failing to meet quorum as opposed to having a majority "against" votes) as krel rightly pointed out! Personally I'm excited to see how this impacts governance. To me, it seems to be a sort of extension of the "filter" happening with proposal candidates.
before, an idea needed to excite a few nouners to get promoted into an onchain prop, which was enough to "force" other nouners to make a stance
now merely getting onchain is not enough and props need to be more exciting to secure a big enough attandence to meet quorum
I didnt expect this, but I like how quorum plays a more active role now. Having to fill up a bucket of positive sentiment for a prop to pass feels less pvp than the pure Y/N situation we had before.
Should we burn the treasury nouns? Discuss below.
Spicy Saturdays: Hot Take …. Burn The Treasury Nouns 🔥 I’m considering putting in a proposal for this, idea would be there would be a set date, say Halloween when the burn would take place…. So everyone can get their swaps in ahead of time. Rationale: giving out Nouns dilutes the governance of active participants…. && historically the % of Nouns given out that are left unused or delegated is larger than those given out that do participate. The dilution of governance was also something I mentioned in Nouncil, thankfully we passed a vote to raise voting participation rate to double the previous metric. I know it’s a spicy topic, but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts…. To burn or not to burn, that is the question. 🤔

More interesting casts and tweets:
Revenue back to purchase nouns is a good intention, Personal preference would to see either the % returned in single bid. Even if that meant noun 1453 was purchased for 10.7e a 80% increase on noun 1452. Thus keep your voting block in parity to the Dao, and not just accumlating a controlling voting block with recycling Dao funded revenue. Maybe ensuring your Dao funded project had the appropriate nouns required to facilitate sponsoring props on chain. At a maximum. I wouldn't be excited seeing a project that became an extremely profitable venture turn into the controlling voting block because they signalled we will return x amount to purchasing nouns. @oshi

You can find new proposal updates on propdates.wtf.
Camp
Camp added a bunch of treasury/spending data so voters can consider the proposals' ask in the context of current treasury & projected inflow - Propdate.
"With the economic macro situation of Nouns increasingly in a downturn, our priorities have shifted to do what we can to ensure a bright and lasting future for the project. This month we’ve added better tools for voters to understand the economic realities of funding a proposal, and we plan to do more work in this area."
