Nouns x Kiwi - Into the Nouniverse
Kiwi is hosting a nounish writing contest with a 3.5 ETH reward pool! Participate by writing about cc0, decentralized governance, bottom-up brand building and other Nounish subjects.
Prompts:
Is being 'Nounish' a state of mind, a cultural signal, or maybe a way to look at the world? What are the philosophies and unwritten rules that shape the Nounish identity?
What can Nouns teach us about turning brand building upside down, and making it open source and steered by the community?
From headline-making proposals to under-the-radar decisions, which moments have shaped the Nouns history most profoundly, and why?
How has Nouns’ approach to governance reshaped the way you think about decentralized communities, and what aspects have been most surprising or eye-opening?
What are the untapped avenues for Nouns to capture more value from their activities, beyond NFT mints?
Can Nouns be the face of crypto? What would it mean for the industry at large if Nouns were to become a household name?
More info in the cast below and this blog post.

our @kiwi x @nouns writing contest news is out! Everyone is welcome to write about cc0, decentralized governance, bottom-up brand building and other Nounish subjects. We prepared five prompts to help authors explore the Nouniverse. We also received a prompt from one of the Nounders - @seneca. To participate in the contest, your blog post must answer at least one of the prompts. Apart from the eternal glory, you will be able to win a part of the 3.5 ETH prize pool. Our contest is platform agnostic, so you can post your essay anywhere you want - on Paragraph, Mirror, Substack, X, Farcaster, or even ZORA. Even if you don’t win the main prize, you can win some attention and subscribers because Kiwi and some Nouns members will repost the best submissions. You can learn more about the contest here: https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/into-the-nouniverse-writing-contest PS: Thanks to @ccarella.eth, @nounishprof and @wiz, for helping to set it up, and thanks to all Nouns who supported our prop ⌐◨-◨ https://paragraph.xyz/@kiwi-updates/into-the-nouniverse-writing-contest

Aklo secured a second place at a major Smash tournament!
Nouns | Aklo on Warpcast
On Sunday, I made a huge lower bracket run and ended up getting 2nd place at a major Smash Melee tournament! It feels to insane to me because just three weeks ago I placed 3rd at a different tourney, which marked my best major placing at the time. It hasn’t even been a month and I’ve already surpassed that! I find it somewhat poetic that my best placing ever also marks my two year anniversary of joining Nouns. I honestly couldn’t believe that when I read it at first. How quickly time has passed, wow. Getting a bit emotional just thinking about it. As Sasquatch said, I have not only grown as a competitor, but as a person as well. I strongly believe that this growth would not have been possible without Nouns. It is an honor to be a part of this team and community. ⌐◨-◨ https://warpcast.com/sasquatch/0x861a6bb4

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
