Nouns GG began as an esports team—sparked by a proposal from **Sasquatch** that sent up the bat signal that Nouns was ready to support gaming. That proposal lit the spark for a budding community.

The Dota team caught the attention of many folks adjacent to gaming, drawing them into the world of Nouns. **Sam**, an incredibly capable developer, jumped in. He built the first version of the Nouns Esports website: **Nouns GG**.

Originally, Nouns GG was a simple but beautifully designed team homepage—highlighting players, partners, and basic info about the org. But we had bigger plans. We envisioned Nouns GG as a public good for the esports community, and that led to the development of more ambitious features.

One early idea was the MVP Pass—something for our most loyal fans. But we struggled to find product-market fit and attract users.

Meanwhile, we were running Prop House rounds with great success, using them to discover new contributors and onboard talent into the community. But when Prop House sunset, we needed to find a new path forward. That’s when we launched our own version of “[**Rounds**](https://nouns.gg/rounds)”—not to be confused with **Seneca’s** engagement-based version. These were designed as our first core feature on Nouns GG. And once we removed the requirement for crypto onboarding, participation exploded.

What started as dozens of users on Prop House turned into over 6,000 people voting and submitting proposals on Nouns GG. This surge also drove a big boost in Discord activity, as users began campaigning and engaging in real time. Through these Rounds, we quickly identified the Smash Bros. Melee community as a natural fit. Their decentralized culture, tight-knit community support, and frequent IRL events made them an ideal group for testing what it means to build love for an IP. As our user base grew—now over 14,000—we continued to ship new features that deepen engagement and strengthen the bond between fans and their communities.

Today, we’re building toward a future where communities can create and manage their own hubs on Nouns GG. We're giving them the tools to engage, organize, and grow—on their own terms.
