GNAR CONNECT RIO brought together skateboarding, art, music, print, film and community in the same space. It happened in Rio de Janeiro at Lado B, with a program shaped by people already building inside this scene.

The night marked a series of releases and milestones: Vlad’s birthday, the launch of his Soma Skateshop signature deck, the release of the GNARS × NOGENTA collaboration, the premiere of the new NOGENTA skate film, the launch of NOGENTA ZINE 01, and the opening of a new Skatehive mini ramp.

GNAR CONNECT gave all of that a common ground. More than an event, it worked as a live snapshot of what the Gnars ecosystem looks like in practice: builders organizing, local scenes connecting, cultural work being released in public, and people gathering around something real.

“The most important thing launched that night was another reason for people to come back.”

What GNAR CONNECT Holds Together

GNAR CONNECT is a physical meeting point for a broader network that already exists across skateboarding, open-source culture, independent publishing, design and Web3. The format matters because it gives that network a place, a rhythm and a public face.

The Luma event page framed the night as a gathering around launches and premieres. That was true, but incomplete. GNAR CONNECT RIO also showed how decentralized communities grow when the work moves beyond chat rooms and feeds into places, objects, media and relationships.

Why This Night Mattered

Vlad organized GNAR CONNECT RIO around several milestones that were already in motion. His birthday gave the event a personal center. The Soma signature deck anchored it in skateboarding. Thee event brought a product collaboration into the room. The film premiere and zine launch expanded the night into media and documentation. The mini ramp opening gave the gathering a lasting physical result.

Taken together, those elements showed how a decentralized cultural network actually operates. Releases are part of it. So are friendship, local organization, physical space and repeated presence.

Lado B

Lado B gave the event the right setting. It works as a cultural space with room for skateboarding, exhibitions, music, conversation and independent programming. That combination shaped the tone of the night from the beginning.

The place matters because scenes need places. They need somewhere to meet, screen work, launch products, build structures and stay in circulation. Lado B held all of that at once.

The second floor of Lado B featured an exhibition by Mano.Wlad, showcasing a selection of works that reflect his visual language and connection to skateboarding, urban culture, and independent art. The exhibition remains open to the public Wednesday through Saturday, from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at Rua Primeiro de Março, 14 – Centro, Rio de Janeiro.

Mini Ramp Opening

The new mini ramp gave the event a physical center and left something behind that will keep working after the crowd goes home.

Skate scenes grow around places that people return to. It gives skaters a reason to come back, session after session. That kind of infrastructure matters because it builds continuity at street level.

GNARS × NOGENTA

The GNARS × NOGENTA collaboration came out of a shared visual language shaped by skateboarding, DIY graphics, publishing and local identity. The products felt aligned with the room they were launched in.

That alignment gave the collection weight. It read as part of a broader scene, not as a detached drop. The graphics, materials and presentation carried the tone of the collaboration clearly.

Created by builders Yan Felipe and Humberto Peres, representing Nogenta, the Street audiovisual collective, and Barracão Skate Shop, was officially launched during GNAR CONNECT. Developed through Gnars DAO Proposal , the collection explores creative products as a tool for expanding the DAO's cultural reach while generating sustainable revenue through the creative economy. It reflects Gnars' approach to supporting builders by transforming community-driven ideas into tangible products with long-term ecosystem value.

Soma Signature Deck

Vlad’s Soma Skateshop signature deck gave the night a direct connection to his own path inside skateboarding. Signature decks carry recognition, history and local meaning. This one landed in the right setting.

It also kept the event grounded in skateboarding as practice, not just reference. The deck was part of the night’s visual field, but it also carried the story of who organized it and why people showed up.

Maple BBS, Available 8.0, 8.25 e 8.5

NOGENTA ZINE 01

The release of NOGENTA ZINE 01 added a print layer to the night. That mattered because print still gives scenes a durable way to document themselves. A zine can circulate by hand, stay on shelves and move outside platform logic.

For skate culture, that format still holds value. It gives photography, text and sequencing a different pace. It also turns a moment into something people can take home and revisit.

Skate Film Premiere

The premiere of the NOGENTA skate film brought moving image into the center of the event. Skate films do more than record tricks. They document rhythm, architecture, style, friendship and the way a local scene sees itself.

Watching the film inside Lado B gave it the right context. The crowd on site was part of the same environment the film came from. That made the screening feel connected to the room instead of separate from it.

• Coletivo XV Channel

• Nogglesboard Channel

Music, Friends and Social Infrastructure

The night moved through DJ sets, rock, food, conversation, birthdays, product tables, skate sessions and people crossing paths. Builders, artists, skaters and friends occupied the same space without needing a rigid structure around them.

There is also a longer history behind that room. This family of skaters and artists has been building together for years through the XV collective and other projects. That shared path gives GNAR CONNECT RIO more depth. It shows a network that has stayed together through different phases, different projects and different moments across roughly fifteen years.

Skateboarding is a strong foundation inside that story. It keeps this tribe connected over time, even as the formats around it change. Shops, films, zines, events, music, brands and collaborations come and go, but the skate bond remains active and keeps people moving together.

That social layer is part of what keeps scenes alive. Projects continue because people know each other, trust each other and keep meeting in real life. GNAR CONNECT RIO made that visible.

Marcelo Marbal’s 50th birthday added another thread to the atmosphere and widened the timeline inside the room. Different generations, roles and practices shared the same space. That gave the night more depth.

Gnars DAO in Practice

GNAR CONNECT RIO showed one clear side of Gnars DAO: support for builders, local communities and action sports culture through real-world work. The result was visible in the ramp, the collaboration, the zine, the film, the deck, the space and the people who filled it.

This is part of what decentralized public goods can look like when they connect to culture directly. Not only online coordination, but spaces, products, documentation, friendships and repeated activity around a shared scene.

The same ecosystem also leaves room for surfing, art, publishing, music, physical product design, technology and open-source thinking. GNAR CONNECT brought those threads into the same frame.

Gnars Bounties is a new lane for small onchain grants built to keep the wheels turning.

This is a place where you can create a bounty if you have an idea that deserves backing, or jump into a bounty that is already live if you have the skills to make it real.

That means tricks. Clips. Edits. Photos. Design. DIY builds. Weird gnarly creations that nobody saw coming. If it pushes culture forward, it belongs in the mix.

We’re launching this new phase in partnership with POIDH, shout out to Kenny for helping spark it.

The point is simple: keep small grants moving through the community and support as many real athletes, makers, and unexpected destroyers as possible.

Manifesto

It moves when someone puts up a challenge. It moves when someone answers it. It moves when a trick gets clipped, a spot gets hit, a zine gets printed, a weird idea gets tested, and a new person finds a reason to step in.

We believe small grants matter.Not because they are huge.Because they are enough to start motion.Enough to back a session.Enough to reward initiative.Enough to turn raw energy into something real.

If you bring heat, effort, style, risk, or originality, there should be a place for you here.

That’s what Gnars Bounties is meant to be:

• A working system for opportunity.

• A direct path into the Gnars ecosystem.

• A way to keep the culture alive by rewarding action.

A new phase for Gnars

This doesn’t come out of nowhere.

It carries some of the energy we lived through in That’s Gnarly and Prop House moments where the right amount of support at the right time could unlock a clip, a project, a session, a spark, or a path forward.

Gnars Bounties picks that up and pushes it into a more open, more direct format.

No dead process. No polished grant-speak. No waiting around for perfect conditions.

Just a place to put up an idea, back a mission, complete the work, and get paid onchain.

What Gnars Bounties is

Gnars Bounties is part tool, part proving ground, part onboarding lane into the Gnars ecosystem.

You can use it to:

• Create bounties for things you want to see happen

• Join bounties that match your skills or style

• Earn small onchain rewards for real contributions

• Discover Gnars through action instead of empty talk

Building a living system where skateboarding, creativity, and community energy can keep feeding each other.

What kind of bounties live here

A significant portion of output is expected to originate from board sports contexts such as skate, surf, and snow through clips, raw sessions, street footage, and athlete-driven content. However, Gnars operates beyond a single format, incorporating multidisciplinary contributions including art, design, editorial work, photography, experimental media, and community-driven initiatives.

Any output that demonstrates authentic cultural relevance and contributes to ecosystem momentum is considered within scope.

Why this matters

''The best scenes don’t survive on hype.''

They survive because people find ways to support each other, trade energy, build small systems, and keep giving new people a way in. A place where someone can show up with a trick, an idea, a clip, a design, or a wild concept and actually get a shot.

That matters for athletes. It matters for creators. It matters for the future of Gnars.

Street-level, not corporate

We’re not trying to build some polished brand sandbox.

This should feel alive.

Fast. Raw. Useful. Open.

What began as a Gnars proposal became a continental mission led by Isaac Jojinah, Ephraim Ssekiziyivu, and Jason “Jaayfilms” Vanporppal. The route runs from Uganda toward South Africa, combining long-distance travel, community contact, and continuous documentation.

The result is an athlete-led project operating at the intersection of skateboarding, media production, and onchain coordination.

Onchain to road to impact

After an earlier version stalled, the idea returned stronger as Gnars Proposal 108 — “SKATE ACROSS AFRICA (EAST COAST - SOUTH COAST)”, and it passed into execution with a clean mandate from the DAO.

Proposal signal

• Status: Executed

• For: 857

• Against: 0

• Abstain: 0

• Threshold at the time shown on Gnars: 598 votes

Check the Proposal here

The proposal framed the route clearly: Uganda → Rwanda → Tanzania → Zambia → Botswana → South Africa.

Its broader objective was to connect skate communities across borders, bring new participants into the orbit of Gnars, and document the trip as a cultural route rather than a single campaign. In practice, the mission positions governance as a funding tool for field work, mobility, and public-facing cultural production.

Who is pushing gnarly

Isaac Jojinah

Isaac is a co-founder and Executive Director of the Kampala Skateboard Initiative (KSI). In the proposal, his role is tied to vision, strategy, workshops, and international relations. His involvement places the mission within an existing structure of skate community building in Uganda rather than treating it as a one-off appearance.

Ephraim Ssekiziyivu

Ephraim, also a co-founder of KSI, works as a skater, creative director, filmer, and community organizer. His role in the mission is both operational and editorial, linking the road narrative to the local scene-building work that already exists in Uganda.

Jason “Jaayfilms” Vanporppal

Jaayfilms brings long-distance travel experience and a strong documentation background. The proposal references his earlier skate journeys across the USA and Japan, which gives the project a media dimension beyond endurance alone.

Together, the three combine local leadership, route execution, and distribution capacity.

What the mission actually is:

At a basic level, the mission is clear: skate across multiple African countries.

In practice, it functions as a broader cultural and media operation:

• A moving skate mission across East and Southern Africa

• A community activation route, not just a clip-hunting route

• A visibility engine for Gnars in African skate scenes

• A documentation project built through video, photos, posts, and local encounters

• A proof-of-concept for decentralized athlete support

That last point is central to the story.

Traditional action sports funding is usually organized through a brand-to-rider model. Skate Across Africa follows a different structure: the community backs the mission through governance, the athletes execute it in public, and the value generated is distributed across documentation, visibility, community contact, and long-term cultural positioning.

Why Gnars matters here

Gnarly decks for the mission	Special wheels for the mission

For Gnars, the mission is relevant because it activates several layers at once:

• Athlete-first: real skaters doing real work, not fake ambassador theater

• Hybrid: physical travel, local community touchpoints, and digital distribution moving together

• Global: Gnars leaving its comfort zone and showing up where culture is still being built in real time

• Onchain-backed: governance is not decorative here; it is the mechanism that made the push possible

Instead of treating international presence as branding alone, the project ties mobility, local context, and public execution into the same editorial frame.

On the ground: Road Logic

By late April, the mission had already generated enough traction to break outside the immediate Gnars/Nouns bubble.

A recent feature in Botswana Gazette described the trio as skating roughly 6,437 km from Kampala toward Cape Town, with the mission tied to a broader dream of building the biggest skatepark in Africa and expanding youth impact through skateboarding.

The reporting also makes clear that this has not been a polished or frictionless route.

According to the crew, Tanzania was one of the hardest sections, marked by mud, dirt roads, and difficult terrain. That detail gives the project material weight and helps separate it from a purely promotional narrative.

The same article also shows where the mission stood in real time: after passing through places including Zambia and Botswana, the crew was nearing the South Africa leg, but hit a logistical disruption when Isaac and Ephraim needed to return to Uganda to handle visa requirements, while Jaay kept pushing solo toward Johannesburg before reuniting later.

The bigger read \m/

The mission resonates beyond a single proposal because it sits inside longer-standing skateboarding dynamics: informal networks, shared infrastructure, route knowledge, DIY organization, and mutual support. What Gnars adds is a governance layer that can fund and extend those dynamics without fully absorbing them into a conventional brand model.

Skate Across Africa shows what that can look like when it works:

• decentralized funding meets athlete autonomy

• local scene knowledge meets global media distribution

• skateboarding becomes both cultural practice and connective tissue

One of the most relevant editorial aspects is that Africa is not treated as backdrop. The mission presents the continent as an active field of skateboarding practice, community knowledge, and future infrastructure.

What comes next

The broader question is what the mission leaves behind.

If Gnars is serious about building cultural infrastructure, projects like this should not remain isolated miracles. They should become repeatable patterns:

• back real athletes

• trust local operators

• document the process well

• turn missions into media

• use governance to fund movement, not bureaucracy

In that sense, Skate Across Africa works as both a trip and a case study in how a DAO can fund cultural movement without reducing it to a standard sponsorship package.

From Kampala to Cape Town, Skate Across Africa represents how skateboarding continues to function as a global language capable of connecting radically different realities through movement, struggle, and imagination.

While some regions experience skateboarding through contests, industry pipelines, and performance structures, others still build it from raw concrete, community effort, and the dream of having a permanent place to push.

From Devcon Bangkok to a printed magazine and a live exhibition

Gnars x 7Ctv is a clean example of how Gnars turns movement into media infrastructure.

What started as a Gnars tour during Devcon Bangkok 2024 became:

• onchain documentation

• editorial storytelling

• a printed magazine feature

• a backcover with Gnars branding

• a second event cycle connected to Devconnect Argentina

• an exhibition opportunity built from photos, mockups, print objects, and video

This is the timeline and the curatorial logic behind that arc.

1. Starting point: Devcon Bangkok 2024

Devcon Bangkok 2024 ARTICLE

That report already frames the trip as more than conference attendance. It documents a hybrid operation involving:

• skateboarding in Bangkok and Rayong

• side events and crypto-native activation

• creator distribution through Zora

• visual storytelling by the Gnars crew

• treasury-aligned cultural output through onchain media

The trip generated content, mints, photos, conversations, and a narrative strong enough to leave the crypto event cycle and enter skate media.

Key shift: Devcon was not the end product. It was the origin point of an editorial asset.

2. From travel report to editorial story

After the trip, the raw Gnars material was translated into a more cultural and skate-facing format through 7Ctv / 7 Capas.

Selected Bangkok / Thailand images from the Gnars report

Below are a few of the most impactful images from the original Devcon Bangkok report. The goal here is not to dump every asset, but to foreground the strongest visual signals: people, noggles, motion, and the atmosphere around the trip.

STYLAND / Gnars en Tailandia ARTICLE

This article reframes the Gnars Thailand experience for a broader skate and visual culture audience.

• skate architecture in Thailand

• the lived texture of the trip

• Gnars as an open-source action sports brand

• web3 as ownership and publishing infrastructure for skaters and videomakers

• Nogglesboard as a visual and material extension of this world

What the article says

A few central lines from the article:

• Thailand is presented as a place with architecture and surfaces that feel made for skateboarding.

• Gnars is described as an open-source action sports brand with no exclusive visual owner and with decisions made by members.

• Web3 is framed less as speculation and more as a way for skaters and filmmakers to own their distribution and preserve their work.

• Rayong appears as a dream-like extension of the trip: a skate house, constant filming, and full immersion in the trip’s rhythm.

The collaboration between Gnars DAO and 7CTV creates a direct bridge between onchain coordination, online media, and physical skate culture. Through shared production and distribution, ideas move fluidly from smart contract driven communities into printed and real-world artifacts, and then back into digital narratives.

The result is a hybrid publishing model where collaboration itself becomes the medium connecting Gnars’ onchain culture with 7CTV’s physical and editorial reach.

3. From digital article to printed magazine

The next step is the physical translation of that same story.

after the Gnars Thailand / Devcon cycle, 7 Capas can carry this reporting inside one printed issue of the magazine.

• an editorial feature based on the Thailand reporting

• a physical object that archives the story outside the feed

• a bridge from onchain travel documentation to print distribution

• an entry point for readers who may never have encountered Gnars through crypto channels

Backcover concept

The backcover should feature Nogglesrail during the event and connect the print object directly to Gnars visual memory.

Backcover with Gnars / Nogglesrail

In this context it works as:

• a closing image

• a memory trigger

• a branded object inside skate culture

• a visual bridge between print, event, and onchain history

4. Editorial roots of the relationship: Jazz & Ska7e

Before the Devconnect continuation, there is already an earlier cultural connection point:

Jazz & Ska7e

It evolves through a real sequence:

shared cultural orbit event collaboration Thailand reporting magazine adaptation second activation layer during Devconnect Argentina

5. The second chapter: Devconnect Argentina

Proposal #104: 7Capasmag Skate&Jazz Vol 2 - New Nounstacle inauguration in Devconnect

This expands the story from editorial coverage into event continuation.

The proposal title already makes the direction clear:

• 7Capasmag

• Skate & Jazz Vol. 2

• Devconnect context

And the public video connected to this cycle helps document the continuation:

GNARGENTINA TOUR DROPOSAL

The video description also reinforces the structure of the collaboration: an onchain-approved media artifact documenting the Gnargentina tour during Devconnect Buenos Aires, built through a multi-party collaboration that includes Gnars, 7ctv, Nogglesboard, and other aligned communities.

This is the parallel we want to make explicit in the document:

• Devcon Bangkok generated the original story material.

• 7Ctv / 7 Capas transformed that material into editorial culture.

• Devconnect Argentina becomes the place where the story evolves again as event, exhibition, and physical display.

6. Magazine feature concept

Gnars went to Thailand during Devcon and produced a body of cultural material that was not locked inside the conference circuit. Through 7Ctv, that same material became a printed magazine story with the potential to live in skate shops, events, and visual culture spaces. The next step is to exhibit that printed memory during Devconnect Argentina, where the magazine, the mockups, the event photos, and the video documentation can be shown together as one continuous narrative.

7. Magazine mockup exhibition

Cover / issue context

Interior spread 01

Interior spread 03

This edition of 7CTV Magazine was distributed across Argentina and several countries in South America, and you might still come across a copy in select skate shops along the way. If you’re interested in getting one, you can reach out through the Gnars DAO Discord, or read the digital feature directly on the 7 Capas website.

8. Devconnect Argentina exhibition layer

The exhibition during Devconnect Argentina can present the magazine as part of a larger installation.

"They emphasize exactly what should stand out in the story".

• noggles as visual language

• nogglesrail / nounstacle as physical object

• people gathering around the activation

• a bridge between editorial mockup and live public installation

Core exhibition components

The event showcase during Devconnect hit like a raw collision of skate culture, music, and web3 energy. A heavy Argentine skate scene took over the space with high-level sessions, backed by live ska and jazz that kept the atmosphere unpredictable and alive. The premiere of Cash for Tricks locked in the core idea land it, prove it, get paid bringing the Gnars ethos to life in real time.

The nounish presence went beyond visuals, with an activation that spread across Plaza República do Brasil , over 40 purple Noggles distributed and integrated into the environment, turning the space into a living extension of the culture. A Lil Nouns & Gnars fashion show pushed that identity even further, blending streetwear, community, and digital roots into something tangible.

The whole event felt less like a program and more like a moment.. where builders, skaters, and artists met on the same frequency. Gnarly Radio.

There is a clean way to tell the story of Monik Santos, and then there is the real way. The real version starts far from the polished center of Brazilian surf. It starts in the Northeast, where talent has always existed in heavy quantity but access, sponsorship, travel budget, and institutional opportunity have not. That gap matters. It shapes careers before they even begin.

Special clip with Monik and Cocole

By the time Monik entered the Gnars orbit in 2024, alongside her sister Nicole “Cocole” Santos, she was already carrying the profile of a proven competitor: a two-time Brazilian champion, a surfer with QS/WSL results on the board, and an athlete whose game had already been tested under pressure. What Gnars recognized was not a prospect in development, but a real shredder whose trajectory matched the original logic of the DAO: support athletes who need the push, do the work, and actually represent the culture they claim to stand for.

The Infrastructure Behind the Athlete

To understand Monik’s rise, you also have to understand the ecosystem around her. One of the key forces in that story is Todas Para o Mar (TPM), a project organized by Nuala Costa and rooted in the Northeast of Brazil. TPM exists to make visible what the surf industry has historically treated as invisible: Black surfers, girls, peripheral athletes, and the broader field of talent excluded by race, gender, geography, and class.

Costa’s work is not decorative activism. It is structural. Her advocacy around anti-racism, LGBTQIAP+ visibility, and women’s voice in surfing has given practical shape to a broader movement. Her invitation to speak in the context of the ONU Universal Declaration of Human Rights event in Mexico City underlined the scale of that impact, but the more important point is local and material: she directly helped Monik and many other girls and boys from the Northeast who have the level, yet not the same resource base or access points as athletes from Brazil’s traditional centers.

In surf terms, this matters because progression is never just about technique. It is about wave count, travel rhythm, contest repetition, and the support systems that allow a surfer to stay in the water long enough for talent to mature into results. TPM has been part of that support architecture.

Gnars, Consistency, and the Work Beyond Crypto

Monik did not come from crypto. That was never the point.

What mattered was how she entered the Gnars universe and stayed active inside it. She posted, represented, showed up, and kept the relationship alive not through empty branding, but through performance in the water and presence outside it. In a space where many athletes pass through DAO language without building any real connection to the community, Monik stayed consistent.

That consistency is meaningful inside Gnars. She is one of the few shredders who remained active, visible, and supportive of the DAO over time. That alone makes her important. But more than that, her trajectory reflects a founding principle of Gnars: backing athletes who are under-resourced, culturally aligned, and capable of converting support into actual movement.

This is the difference between sticker placement and representation. Monik has carried Gnars with legitimacy.

The Domestic Run That Opened the Next Door

After becoming part of Gnars, Monik kept doing what serious competitors do: she stacked performances. Her campaign through Brazilian events reinforced the case that she belonged in larger, more institutional competitive spaces. That momentum led to one of the most relevant steps in Brazilian surfing today: an opportunity to compete on the Dream Tour.

In current Brazilian surf, the Dream Tour is not just another stop. It is the country’s most credible and organized national championship environment, bringing together legacy names, institutional weight, and the corporate side of the sport in a single circuit. To earn the right to line up there is to enter a higher tier of scrutiny. It means the surfing has to hold up, not just the story around it. Monik earned that lane.

Huntington Beach, Global Black Surf, and the Podium Signal

Then came another important marker. After winning the 2024 Great Day in the Stoke event in Huntington Beach, California, Monik did more than collect a title. She inserted herself into an international movement and a global field of Black surfers from countries including Senegal, Nigeria, and beyond.

That event carries symbolic and competitive weight. It is about visibility, lineage, and the creation of a shared platform for Black surfers who have too often been sidelined in the mainstream surf narrative.

In 2025, Monik was invited back, and she delivered again. Alongside names such as Yanca Costa and Potira Castaman, she reached the final and split the podium with a North American surfer, once more standing inside the broader movement of Black surfers making their presence impossible to ignore.

For Gnars, this pump at two levels. First, because supporting this kind of athlete means supporting real cultural substance, not abstract positioning. Second, because Monik did what every serious sponsor or community wants to see: she converted backing into results, attention, and credibility.

PASA GAMES 2026

Off the back of her high-level performances over the previous year, Monik was invited by the Brazilian Surf Confederation to represent Brazil at the 2026 PASA Games in Panama. It was a major call-up, and it placed her inside the national shortboard roster alongside Renan Pulga, Michael Rodrigues, Juliana dos Santos, Douglas Silva, and the all-time powerhouse Silvana Lima.

That selection was not ceremonial. It was performance-based.

The PASA Games roster also included athletes across SUP Race, SUP Surf, Longboard, and Bodyboard, and Brazil left Panama as four-time Pan American champion. Inside that broader national victory sat a detail that matters to anyone tracking the real spread of Gnars culture: once again, an athlete with that square sticker and those wild glasses on the board was right there in the mix, drawing attention in serious competitive territory.

Monik Santos x Gnars

Monik Santos connects multiple truths the DAO has claimed since the beginning.

She is a high-level athlete from outside the traditional centers of power. She has roots in a social and cultural movement that expands surfing’s real base. She stayed active with Gnars instead of treating it like a temporary logo opportunity. And when the level rose, she kept answering with performances that justified every bit of support.

The Next Chapters Are Still Forming

Monik is still in motion. She continues to perform in contests and to represent outside the water.

The line is still running, and the most interesting part of her story may be what comes next: how far this combination of competitive form, cultural relevance, and earned visibility can travel from here. Keep it gnarly \m/

Spot selection is driven by necessity. Streets, plazas, and overlooked structures become functional terrain, shaping a style that’s direct, controlled, and adapted to real conditions. There’s a clear emphasis on line choice, efficiency, and board control over ideal surfaces.

The scene operates independently, with skaters handling filming, editing, and distribution, while also building and maintaining DIY spots. Progression is visible in both technical level and output, with a steady stream of footage coming out of different parts of the country.

What’s happening is structured through repetition, access, and adaptation a grounded, street-focused scene defining itself through use of space and consistency on the board.

ONCHAIN TO CONCRETE TO LEGACY

Led by Shredder and lensman fernandoferreira.eth, a name already stamped in both skate and visual culture, this initiative aims to capture India’s skateboarding scene at scale, something no one has done with real cohesion before.

If you tapped into the Gnars Thailand output during Devcon Bangkok (featured in 7 Capas / 7CTV), you already know the level. This time, the scope is bigger, deeper, and way more necessary.

The mission is clear:

• Document the raw diversity of skate scenes across India

• Celebrate the skaters, builders, and cultural drivers behind it

INDIA IS SKATING HARD

Skateboarding in India isn’t waiting for perfect conditions. In cities where pavement is a luxury, skaters are still making it work. Spots are found, not given.

Mumbai alone is estimated to have over 30,000 skaters. Let that sink in.

From Bangalore to Delhi, Jaipur to the in-betweens, DIY parks, street spots, and community-driven projects are shaping a scene that’s both gritty and deeply connected. It’s not polished, and that’s exactly why it matters.

ON THE GROUND: GWALIOR HEAT

Perched on top of a small building, on the edge of the monochrome city of Gwalior, sits one of the most vibrant underground pockets in the country: the Gwalior Sickness Centre (GSC).

GSC is where everything collides skateboarding, music, graffiti, tattoos, and whatever else shows up with intent. It’s the kind of place you don’t plan to find, but once you do, it sticks with you.

Last November, the crew pulled up for Chambal Mein Rumble ; three days of pure cultural overload.

Skaters, tattoo artists, musicians, dancers, writers, all packed into one rooftop ecosystem. Days blurred into nights. Everyone slept under the same tent, right above the park. A bonfire kept conversations alive through the cold. Downstairs, inside the skateshop, DJs and live bands pushed the energy into full chaos, sweaty, loud, and completely unfiltered.

No barriers. No gatekeeping. Just community in its rawest form.

CHENNAI SHRED SESSION

Backside Rockslide	Grommet Ollie

Fernando will be hitting Chennai to capture the local skate scene in all its raw energy. Expect fast lines, creative tricks, and authentic moments as he documents the city’s rising skaters. Alongside the action, there will be a Gnarly T-shirt giveaway and opportunities to spread awareness about the Gnars DAO, connecting riders directly with the onchain community and the culture we’re building together.

Skateboarding in Chennai started as a small, underground movement in the early 2000s, fueled by a handful of passionate riders experimenting on streets, sidewalks, and any open concrete they could find. With minimal infrastructure and limited skateparks, the scene grew DIY-style, relying on local creativity and community-driven meetups. O

ver the years, Chennai’s skaters have carved out their own identity, blending global skate culture with local flavors, and slowly building a resilient, tight-knit community that continues to push tricks, host jams, and inspire the next generation of Indian skateboarders.

Hyderabad Skateboarding Scene.

''Hyderabad Skate isn’t a single place''

Growing skateboarding culture in the city of Hyderabad, India. Over the past decade this subculture has evolved from a small fringe group into a vibrant, community‑driven movement.

While India still lacks widespread public skateparks, dedicated crews and grassroots groups like Hyderabad Skaters and sk8hyd have been building momentum by organizing meet‑ups, practice sessions, and community workshops.

One of the core hubs for the scene is WallRide Park, an asphalt pump track and skate/BMX facility on Chevella Road that attracts riders from around the region and even hosts competitions, making it one of the most important skate spots in South India.

What’s notable about Hyderabad’s skate culture is how inclusive and self‑organized it has become. Groups like Girls Skate Hyderabad are creating space for women and queer skaters in what has traditionally been a male‑dominant environment, reshaping who gets to ride and how community is built.

In essence, Hyderabad Skate represents a young, hungry, DIY spirit, skaters navigating limited infrastructure and making the most of urban spots, while steadily expanding the sport’s footprint in India and beyond.

As Fernando puts it: "Going there and photographing this raw, authentic scene is definitely one of the things that drives me."

WHY GNARS MATTERS HERE

This is exactly where Gnars hits different.

• As a pioneer in onchain action sports, Gnars isn’t just funding projects it’s enabling culture to document itself, own its narrative, and circulate globally without dilution.

• Supporting initiatives like this it’s alignment.

• India’s skate scene doesn’t need validation, it needs amplification. And Gnars provides the rails to slide that story straight into a global context, while feeding value back into the DAO through NFTs and media distribution.

This is how you build something that lasts.

DEVCONNECT 2026: MUMBAI TAKES THE MIC

With Devconnect 2026 landing in Mumbai, we’re not just talking about another event, we’re talking about a paradigm shift. Placing a global blockchain and crypto convergence in the heart of India flips the script, challenging expectations and opening doors to new possibilities.

The question isn’t if worlds will collid... it’s how radically.

And just like this event shakes the traditional tech map, Gnars is doing the same for action sports onchain. By bringing skate culture, community, and digital ownership together, we’re proving that innovation isn’t only about code or capital, it’s about creating structures that let culture thrive, transparently, and sustainably.

So… are we getting a Noggles Rail out there?

Because with energy and coordination like this, India isn’t just on the radar, it’s redefining the game. And technically speaking, every trick, every drop, every mint, every NFT sale feeds directly back into the DAO, proving the loop between culture and onchain utility.

This is how you build something that lasts.

1. Origins

Everything started years ago with a simple but radical proposal by Pharra and Vlad (sktbrd) from the XV Collective. The idea was clear: build skate obstacles rooted in DIY culture, open-source thinking, and real street energy, later becoming one of the earliest onchain-born physical experiments within Gnars DAO.

Take a look at this documentary, where the creator explains the origins of the project and the launch of the NogglesDELTA. [Full Doc Here]

2. Open-Source as a Weapon

One of the first Gnars droposals was an open-source PDF created by Pharra, documenting how to build a Nogglesrail. This document enabled replication across cities and countries, turning a single idea into a global, permissionless skate infrastructure.

3. From One Rail to Many Nounstacles

What began as a single rail evolved into a network of Nounstacles spread across different countries. Each build reflects its local context while staying connected through shared design language, Nounish aesthetics, and Gnars values. Gnars Center OG

Variations & Experiments

Following the creation of the first Noggles Rails, the expansion of Noggles presence into additional action sports became inevitable evolving beyond traditional skate handrails into a broader modular obstacle system.

This led to the development of fully branded Noggles wakeboard ramps, Megaramp and Thrasher Mag, a snowboard grind tube deployed in Japan, the Noggles Delta selected through an onchain Gnars DAO vote among four proposed obstacle models, and other activations that further nounified physical infrastructure translating decentralized consensus into tangible cultural impact.

DIY, Onchain, Alive

Nogglesrails or Nounstacles prove that onchain coordination can materialize into "concrete", skateable infrastructure. Through cash for tricks, events, exposition, Gnars contests, viral Instagram clips, and global replication, the project keeps the DIY spirit alive while spreading Noggles culture in a way no traditional brand or institution could. This is an onchain-born project Gnars DAO and it’s still alive bro, still rolling, and still being built.

This document is intended to evolve over time, with new rails, countries, media, and stories continuously added.

Gnarly Decks IRL

With this round, Gnars opens a new lane decks that escaped the blockchain and made their way back into real life. This section documents boards that began as onchain art and ended up under feet: skated, filmed, traveled, and worn down.

It’s proof that this DAO isn’t just posting culture, it’s actively producing it. Over the years of decentralization and organically driven proposals, several Gnarly decks have been produced.

These include the Tom Roher Pro Model; collaborative models with Bob Burnquist, which ultimately led to appearances in the new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4; and projects with other shredders such as Ionir Mera, Bless Skate Shop, Nogglesboard, along with exclusive one-of-one Gnarly pieces.

Droposals and $GNARS

In parallel, the $GNARS token operates through Zora’s creator-coin model. Each piece of gnarly content becomes linked to an ERC-20 token, anchored back to a creator profile. This lets builders and shredders issue content-specific coins, fusing cultural and economic value directly into $GNARS while keeping the flow dynamic and collaborative.

Together, Droposals and $GNARS form a dual-layered system: rare artworks and fluid creator-coins. This framework doesn’t just fuel the Gnars treasury it equips the community with a DIY publishing tool that empowers skaters, surfers, artists, and builders to take ownership of their creations, both in the streets and onchain, ensuring momentum compounds and value stays in the hands of the culture.

By minting an edition, you’re not just collecting an NFT/ Coin, you’re fueling the future of Gnars.

As the year comes to a close, Gnars wraps another cycle focused on execution, experimentation, and consistent delivery. Throughout the year, the DAO advanced projects across culture, skate, surf, extremely sports and onchain media, while strengthening its presence within the broader Nouns ecosystem.

We end the year with validated initiatives, active contributors, and clear momentum heading into the next cycle.

Thank you to everyone who participated, built, and supported along the way. Happy Holidays to the community! See you next year.

Shredders - CONTENDERS

From OGs to breakout shredders, these are the names that pushed Gnars forward IRL and onchain. Different styles, different paths, same gnarly commitment. This is about impact, consistency, and keeping the culture moving.

Pamtech: A 50-year-old São Paulo OG and professional skater who never slowed down. Still hammering tricks, dropping clips on Farcaster and IG, and hosting community events with SkateHive at Praça Roosevelt. Proof that style and grit only get better with time. Clip

Vlad: True Gnars OG. One of the shredders who paid in blood, clips, and commitment. Beyond skating, Vlad helped generate real value for the DAO treasury through Zora posts paired with the $GNARS token. Pain, impact, and onchain execution. Clip

Willdias: Creative chaos in motion. A Gnars OG constantly pushing visual ideas through special videos with the Nogglesboard and sometimes classic street skating too. Represents Gnars both IRL and URL in a way that’s unmistakably his. Clip

Ephraim:Skater from Uganda and core DAO contributor through the KSI project. Constantly sharing clips, building visibility, and strengthening the Africa Onchain skate scene together with Isaac. Grassroots energy with global reach. Clip

DaveBachinsky: Certified Gnars OG. Whether on the mini ramp or behind a drone, Dave keeps delivering. Pulled off a Guinness-worthy feat with the most kickflips in one minute alongside the DEGEN crowd. Pure madness, pure control. Clip

Garcia: Gnars OG with purpose. Through the Skate Transforma Vidas initiative, Garcia installed a Noggles Rail in São Paulo and hosted a powerful local event in 2025. Always pushing skating forward and keeping the feed heavy with clips. Clip

HumbertoPeres: Breakout shredder of the year. Through the True Barracão project, Humberto connected with the DAO and SkateHive, made it to Buenos Aires for Gnars & Jazz, and took Best Trick on the Noggles Rail alongside local skaters. Always charging. Clip

JahKay: A true revelation. Burst onto the Gnars Farcaster channel throwing down tricks on ledges, flatground, and rails. Raw, technical, and hungry, proving through action that he belongs in this conversation. Clip

Go vote folk.

To close it out, it’s worth remembering that Thrasher Magazine’s Skater of the Year went to the skater who finally conquered El Toro with an iconic 360 flip after years of attempts, a reminder that perseverance, commitment, and raw skateboarding still define what SOTY means, Congrats Chris Joslin.

Gnars Parkour

Katwe Parkour Culture (KPC) is a community-led initiative founded by Raki in Kampala, Uganda. They use parkour as a tool to inspire, uplift, and provide youth with a positive outlet through movement. In Katwe, there are no formal parkour spaces, yet young athletes train daily in tough conditions, proving their passion and resilience.

Last week, Raki traveled all the way to Turkey to represent atchampionship of parkour (Proposal 95). Check it out, the shredder delivered an outstanding performance with unique lines, securing the gold medal at the Bosphorus Parkour Championship in Turkey.

The Nounish sports obstacles began with skateboarding the Nogglesrails and have since expanded into other disciplines, with slaps for snowboarding, jumps for wakeboarding, and more. Now, a new parkour obstacle is being built, carrying forward this creative Nounish architecture.

Ipatinga Skatepark Gnarly and Based

Between D.I.Y. spirit, skatepark rebuilds, and community grit, the Nounish world takes shape as a playground of creativity, onchain culture, and shared progression.

The installation of the Noggle Rail at Itapetininga Skatepark was both symbolic and functional. More than just a new obstacle, it now stands as a permanent testament to the collaboration between grassroots skateboarding, urban culture, and the Web3 community.

As a professional skateboarder and president of the Skate Transforma Vidas project, I see this initiative (Proposal 89) as a meaningful milestone. Our connection with Gnars began with Proposal 37, when we traveled to Uganda delivering essential donations to support five local communities. That mission sparked an ongoing link between Brazil and Uganda through skateboarding, now strengthened by this onchain and IRL collaboration - Garcia

Droposals and $GNARS

Gnars leverages Zora as a tool for both creation and community, blending the raw DIY energy of the streets with the permanence of onchain culture.

At the core are Droposals community-approved works that capture the essence of our collective creativity. Once sanctioned, these pieces are minted as unique ERC-721s: one-of-a-kind cultural artifacts that serve as living proof of our spirit to shred, build, and create.

In parallel, the $GNARS token operates through Zora’s creator-coin model. Each piece of gnarly content becomes linked to an ERC-20 token, anchored back to a creator profile. This lets builders and shredders issue content-specific coins, fusing cultural and economic value directly into $GNARS while keeping the flow dynamic and collaborative.

Since the migration from Ethereum Mainnet and gnars.wtf to gnars.com, the Gnars team and shredders have been riding the wave of the Base network — pushing forward with Droposals, fully onchain NFT creations, and active collaborations with DAOs, protocols, and projects emerging across the Base ecosystem.

It’s not just a shift in domain — it’s a shift in momentum. From gnarly tricks to onchain expression, Gnars continues to carve new lines through digital culture, proving that action sports and creativity belong at the core of this Base-powered future.

Early poidh kickflip bounty by DEGEN

In June last year, we ran another open skateboard trick contest, which received 12 submissions and was won by web-gnar (who happens to be associated with Gnars as well).

web-gnar submission And now this latest “skate for DEGEN bounty from last week was the first to showcase poidh’s crowdfunding capabilities:

What’s special about poidh is that it allows people to pool money for bounties, 100% onchain, 100% decentralized (so no one loses access to their funds until the bounty is confirmed).
If we can keep incentivizing fun activities that generate great content, I think there’s a big opportunity to showcase how crowdfunding with crypto can become a breakthrough app for the industry. Imagine a $10,000 bounty for someone to break a skateboarding world record, all incentivized and confirmed 100% onchain. Or fans crowdfunding a bounty for a specific skater to claim if they win gold at the Olympics. We want to use onchain value to move people towards specific goals, and there’s no better team than Gnars to help us figure out the best way to do that in the skateboarding world.

Fragments from the Flow

The sixth Gnarly News video of 2025 just dropped!

This edition captures a year in motion, full of transitions, shifting speeds, and new terrain. From quiet builds to loud breakthroughs, we highlight how Gnars continues to explore the edges of culture, sport, and onchain expression. You’ll find deeper insights into the Gnars/Nouns ecosystem, spotlighting how builders, artists, and communities are navigating the waves of 2025 with resilience and creativity.

It’s not just about keeping the stoke alive, it’s about adapting the ride, staying fluid, and proving that gnarly energy evolves when shared. ⌐◨-◨

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.

Less walls, more bridges.
Less fear, more understanding.
Less war, more love.''

That’s the revolution we really need. Let's Build.

Surf is Up, Shredders ON

What was once seen as a fringe, rebellious lifestyle has now taken center stage in the global spotlight. Surfing has carved its way into the mainstream from Olympic podiums to cutting-edge innovation and is now riding an entirely new wave: onchain culture.

Through the involvement of surfers in GnarsDAO, the sport merges with the future. It's not just about riding waves anymore, it's about building decentralized ecosystems, minting moments, and connecting global communities around shared stoke.

And in this oceanpowered year, here are some links to gnarly waves that rolled in with the arrival of a massive southeast swell along the Brazilian coast, plus some epic scenes from the giant waves of Nazaré, Portugal.

Farcaster SocialFI

Farcon plays a critical role in advancing onchain development within the Farcaster ecosystem, a decentralized social protocol often considered a "Layer 3" due to its composability and user-centric infrastructure layered on top of existing blockchains. The event brings together developers, builders, and protocol architects to collaborate, showcase innovations, and align on shared standards. It facilitates ecosystem interoperability, encourages modular app development, and reinforces the cultural and technical momentum behind Farcaster. By fostering in-person coordination and experimentation, Farcon strengthens the foundation for long-term, scalable onchain social systems.

One of the standout players right now is Clanker, an AI agent that lets users create their own memecoins with just a simple text command. In just days, thousands of tokens have been launched directly within Farcaster, all deployed on Base Network, Coinbase’s L2 that stands out for low fees and high scalability.

Another project making waves is Noice, a mini-app designed to reward user engagement with micro USDC tips. Likes, replies, and recasts now trigger real economic value. The native $NOICE token has seen a sharp price increase in recent days, reflecting strong demand for this new form of social-financial interaction.

Alongside these, other projects like $HIGHER, $SPACE, $BREAD, $$CHECKR, $BANKR, $INDEXY and $DEGEN are emerging as examples of how micro-economies can flourish inside a social network. Tokens like HIGHER and DEGEN have gone viral, building community narratives organically while tapping into the liquidity and speed of Base.

A major milestone was the recent native wallet integration directly within Warpcast, Farcaster’s most popular client. Users can now send, receive, and interact with tokens without leaving the social interface. This became even more significant with the launch of Farcaster Pro, a paid subscription that not only unlocks extra features but also introduces a new economic layer through the distribution of $PROCOIN, creating a more sustainable value cycle within the platform.

What makes all of this truly innovative is how naturally Farcaster has done what other social networks have long promised but never delivered: integrating social experience with real economic value. Here, a post can become a token. An interaction can earn you USDC. A community can create its own market—permissionless, on-chain, and with near-instant liquidity, all powered by Base.

At a time when much of the crypto industry is still stuck in “future roadmap” mode, Farcaster is proving that the future of SocialFi is already happening.

Gnarly Drops

Droposals represent a technical and gnarly evolution for GnarsDAO. By leveraging a smart contract with built-in split rewards, every video, premiere, or creative project can be minted as an NFT directly through our site. This means that when a shredder or creator drops something epic, it not only documents their journey but also creates an onchain collectible with real value.

A portion of each sale flows back to the GnarsDAO treasury, reinforcing the community fund while giving artists and athletes their fair share. This aligns incentives in a way that keeps the DAO financially healthy, culturally active, and creatively charged.

Initiatives like Droposals aren’t just about funding—they’re about keeping the stoke alive, turning moments into collectibles, and making sure every trick, clip, or piece of art has the potential to fuel the next chapter of GnarsDAO.

Directed by Yan Felipe, the documentary follows artist PHARRA XV over several months, chronicling the design and creation of this latest Nogglestacle. It also uncovers the roots of the movement in Rio, showing how it helped transform the city into a global node of nounish culture.

Disruption isn’t instant, revolution is shaped by process

Just like a skate crew flips the script at the park or an artist transforms the streets into a canvas, communities built around sports and art have a way of breaking through the noise. They're not just riding waves or nailing tricks, they’re rewriting the rules of culture. These collectives don’t wait for permission; they define new trends, push boundaries, and build spaces that are more inclusive, expressive, and radically human.

NogglesDelta - Nounstacle

On April 12, 2025, the sculpture NOUNSTACLE 2.0 – NOGGLES DELTA, created by Pharrá Buarque (Tangente Skateparks), was officially unveiled. This piece is the second in a series forming an open-air skateable art gallery, blending skateboarding, art, and digital culture.

It was a true celebration of decentralized urban culture, where Gnars DAO once again showcased its impact by supporting creative, inclusive initiatives shaping the future of skateboarding worldwide.

One step at a time the nogglesrails and nounstacles are taking up space around the globe and generating nounish and positive impact on the sport. To more closely follow this construction, check our Maps with the latest projects. Check out a little more how was the launch event of this work of art.

Farcon New York 2025

The FarCon 2025 in New York, held from May 1st to 4th, was a landmark event for the Farcaster community and Web3 culture. With over a thousand participants, the event featured hackathons, lectures, and activations like the Haus of Nouns, OFFCHAIN NYC 2025 (organized by Higher), and the Offchain Skate Jam, blending skate and decentralized technology.

Farcon plays a critical role in advancing onchain development within the Farcaster ecosystem, a decentralized social protocol often considered a "Layer 3" due to its composability and user-centric infrastructure layered on top of existing blockchains. The event brings together developers, builders, and protocol architects to collaborate, showcase innovations, and align on shared standards.

Gnars Acessory - Lil Nouns

Last month, Lulu aka NekoFar, known as the King of GIFs, submitted and executed a special proposal with the support of the Lil Nouns partners. The idea? To add the iconic Gnars accessory as a new trait in the Lil Nouns collection.

The proposal was approved with 450 votes in favor and none against, reflecting not only strong consensus but also the growing synergy between the Nouns DAO subDAOs. The collaboration between Gnars and Lil Nouns is a clear example of how respect, creativity, and community spirit can translate into concrete and stylish actions.

IMF Launch: A New Era for Onchain Community Capital

On May 6th at 11:00 PM, GAMI and the IMF team officially launched the IMF (Internet Monetary Fund) via livestream, introducing a powerful shift in how communities engage with capital onchain.

In crypto, the default action has always been to sell—whether to fund an idea, gain liquidity, or manage risk. But selling kills momentum, fragments communities, and drains value. IMF flips this narrative by offering an alternative: borrowing instead of selling.

The IMF isn’t a grant program or a yield farm. It’s a Community Coordinated Credit system, enabling token holders to unlock stable liquidity while staying long, and allowing stablecoin lenders to earn yield. Built on Uniswap, Morpho, and USDS, IMF is permissionless, immutable, and ready for action from day one.

For communities like Gnars, the IMF opens up new possibilities under the banner of Gnars CC:

• Crypto Currency

• Creative Commons

• Credit Cartel

The mission? Grow the brand and funnel value directly back into the community coin. In this model, credit becomes a tool for alignment and momentum, not dilution. IMF helps communities wield credit with purpose. Because belief deserves capital and capital deserves coordination.

Gnarstic Architecture

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.

Gnars 7capas

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.

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.

From Chicago to Brazil: Webgnars' Trip Through Rio

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.

Nouns House (Gnarly af & Nounish af)

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.

What goes around comes around 🤘

Amid a turbulent landscape of political and socio-economic shifts, GnarsDAO charges into another year. Adding to the chaos, the crypto market keeps throwing curveballs, but the shredders, the winds, the waves, the spots, the tricks, the slams, and the stoke never stop.

When it comes to expansion, movement and friction at certain points make a difference. Nogglesrails are an example of this, spread across different parts of the planet, spreading culture in a certain geometric pattern.

Raised on the streets of São Paulo, Pamtech had his first contact with skateboarding in 1990, and his passion was instant. The asphalt became his blank canvas, where each trick expressed his creativity. What started as fun soon evolved into a lifestyle and, later, a profession, teaching him not only tricks and balance but also discipline, resilience, and the value of a united community.

The same mindset of overcoming challenges and exploring new possibilities in skateboarding was also reflected in another passion: technology. With this spirit, he decided to expand his horizons and earned a degree in computer network engineering, gaining technical knowledge that broadened his perspective and enhanced his ability to innovate.

Pamtech entered the world of Web3 out of curiosity and quickly had the pleasure of discovering SKATEHIVE. It was there that he met Gnars, through other shredders who are part of the community, and immediately connected with the global Web3 universe.

As he began posting his videos and photos on the platform, Pamtech accumulated Hive and, as a gift to himself, acquired his first Gnars NFTs. In doing so, he joined other extreme sports enthusiasts, expanding his network in both the technology ecosystem and skateboarding.

r4to, a programmer already familiar with crypto, dove into Web3 after discovering Nouns.wtf. His curiosity was sparked when he saw a Gnars PFP, leading him to explore the ecosystem and understand Ethereum’s purpose.

His turning point came alongside Vlad when they approved a proposal to create the new Gnars website. The project provided financial stability and allowed him to leave his traditional job to fully dedicate himself to Web3.

Today, he works on the Gnars and Nounspace projects. Over time, he stopped simply converting Ethereum to fiat and began reinvesting in the ecosystem, strengthening the circular economy and collective growth.

Approved for a scholarship at Flows, he quickly gathered an amount and, without hesitation, bought some Gnars NFTs. This move not only reflects his commitment to the ecosystem but also marks a significant step in the extensive development.

Gnarly news from the world of games and pixel art! The demo for Nounish Punk Demo, a skateboarding game born from a Nouns proposal, just dropped. Plus, Shredder Zeke is bringing the heat with a wild Pixel art collection "Kickflip Collective" featuring builders, crazy art, and pure gnarly energy.

From shirts and jackets to skateboard decks, surfboards, hot sauce, NogglesRails, and beyond. Gnars products capture the essence of the Nouns/Noggles ecosystem and the gnarly journey of our projects and athletes. The next step? Launching the Gnars Shop on the new gnars.com, bringing our onchain products together and making them available for purchase. In the future, it’ll also be linked to the Nouns Shop, expanding the reach of Nounish merch even further!

• Nounish Docs/Storytelling

• Wizard of Gnars, a new friend for queries and conversations

In 2025, Gnars continues to propagate the Noggles across the world, adapting to the evolving Nounish culture while shaping its own Gnarly subculture. After navigating different phases within the DAO, Gnars keeps the momentum alive fueling creativity, supporting shredders, and pushing boundaries at the same pace that this unique movement keeps emerging and redefining itself.

ETHDenver 2025 was a major Web3 innovation festival, bringing together developers, creators, and blockchain enthusiasts. The event featured a gnarly activation, with BLUNTSDAO's proposal in action and an iconic presentation from the GTA IMF team. Additionally, partners gathered to build and push culture forward within the ecosystem.

Here are some shots of Tom rocking ETH Denver, representing NounSpace, a community-driven project and close ally of GnarsDAO. As the founder of NounSpace, Tom continues to push the boundaries of Nounish culture, fostering creativity and collaboration within the ecosystem. Captured in the heart of one of the biggest Ethereum and Web3 conferences, these moments highlight the growing impact of Nounish builders in the space.

GNARS x BluntDAO x DeSCIWorld: Initial Results

We took on Loveland Pass, Keystone, and Breckenridge, using Cudis Rings to track biometrics before and after smoking, and the results were!

Our crew of shredders + seshers put Proof of Sesh & Proof of Shred to the test:

• Sam Dunkleberg (DFW → Denver) – lifelong shredder, first intro to Web3 & GNARS!

• Chase Blakely (DFW → Denver) – Web3 native, new to DeSci, hyped to help!

• Vanes (Phoenix) – a multi-sport ripper (snowboard, skate, surf) joining the sesh!

• Hanz aka Hazeman (Sweden) – firm believer in "No shame in shredding or hating skiers"

These brave testers tracked their biometrics in real-time, and while we’re still analyzing the data, here’s what we saw so far:

• 2/3 of shredders hit their fastest speeds of the weekend after smoking

• Higher vitality scores compared to their baseline

• 4% improvement in sleep quality on average

This biohacking experiment was just the beginning! We’re expanding this research to surfers, skaters, and other athletes to better understand how cannabis impacts performance, recovery, and overall health. Our mission is clear: give athletes the tools to be more informed about their health, optimize their seshes, and push their limits.

As part of an executed Gnars proposal, shredders took on the monstrous waves of Praia do Norte, Nazaré, pushing the limits in extreme conditions. Beyond the heavy drops and adrenaline, fueled rides, they also carried out a remarkable rescue operation, showcasing skill, bravery, and the true spirit of the Gnars community.

Get ready to kick off another rad semester of GnarsNews and Gnarly videos. Grab your popcorn and dive into the Gnars/Nounish Products NFT Video Edition on Zora. This drop is more than just a video, it’s a visual trip through the wild world of Nounish creativity. By minting an edition, you’re not just collecting an NFTyou’re fueling the future of Gnars.

The majority of mint proceeds go to the Gnars, powering more skaters, surfers, artists, and community driven 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!

2024 is in the books, but it left us with a ton of good times and big wins. Unity is what keeps this community strong, and every session, project, and idea came together to make some incredible things happen. From epic premieres and special videos to game changing proposals, gnarly products, and public goods, last year was one to remember. And the best part? We're just getting started…

Gnars has expanded into different areas, and through our past experiences and outcomes, we’ve identified key priorities for the DAO this year. This has helped us shape a more balanced approach growing without losing consistency and fine tuning the balance between quality and quantity.

When it comes to proposals and projects, our focus has been on delivering impactful initiatives across Gnarstic realms. Follow along as we highlight some of the biggest achievements from our shredders across different spaces.

Gnars' presence in concrete culture—skateboarding, rollerblading, and BMX—is nothing new. But this year brought some standout moments worth remembering. Here are some of our favorite "concrete" proposals of 2024:

• Synopsis Skateboarding Film Proposal

• Renewal proposal Dave Bachinsk

• Noggles Rail debut in London UK

• Sculpture NOGGLES RAIL at Medellin Colombia Dcot

• Fund the Creation of Nounstacles - Pharra

P.S Did you know we’re close to installing Nogglesrails on every continent?

The Gnarsurfers made their mark in style — from premieres and the creation of the Gnars surfboard model to meetups, artistic development, and upcycling events. A bit of everything came to life! Let’s dive into some of those proposals:

• Zimardrp Sponsorship 6 month

• GnarsDAO Onboarding Content - Marinioac


• Travel Grant Proposal - IndoGNARS 2 - Luizhadad

• Gnars Wakeboarding Culture - Overhau1

• V2 Gnars Sunset IRL Docuseries Premiere Event - Rickyday


In terms of art, manifesto, subculture, and integrative developments within Gnars, we’ve seen several impactful proposals (droposals and Gnars Contest) that sparked conversation and creativity.

• LIL GNARS

• SKATE AND JAZZ - 1st Noggles Rail in Argentina

• Gnars in DEVcon Thai Adventure - zimardrp

• Toms Tutorials - Tomrohrer - Pro Model

• Create a Round in Rounds.wtf for sharing Gnarly Media created in 2024

Staying true to the culture of the Nouns ecosystem, public goods remain a core pillar of Gnars. We’re proud of the meaningful impact we made in 2024! Beyond proposals fully dedicated to public goods, many other initiatives also brought positive change to spaces and communities. Here they are:

• Refurbishment and maintenance at sopa de letras square (willdias)

• Gnarly TPM Shredder Team - Marinioac

• Fund Travel Costs to Deliver 6K in Donated Skateboarding Materials to Uganda Skateboarding Collectives --No Funds Spent on Donations - Garcia

• Kampala Skateboard Initiative/Bring then Online and Onchain - sktbrd

• Retro ramp of Mexico can be gnarlier - Fattybuthappy

In terms of POD and tech driven developments, we’ve also had proposals that led to great projects, providing daily value to the community. Discover the tech behind the action:

• Launch a Comprehensive Gnars Community Platform

• Establish the Pod Media - Podmedia

• Bring Thats Gnarly Onchain - Rocketman

• The Gnarving - Gami

If 2024 was gnarly, 2025 is about to be next level! Expect more onboarding, more Noggles rails popping up worldwide, and more support for IRL and online projects that uplift shredders and their communities. Sustainability is also front and center with droposals driving community minted content that fuels the treasury, keeping Gnars rolling strong. We’ve already seen it work with the Uganda Connection teaser and Styland NFT videos on Zora, and this is just the beginning. More exposure, more resources, and more ways for shredders to get involved.

In 2025, we’re doubling down on how we support shredders. Flows.wtf will be a key tool in decentralizing sponsorships, letting the community back riders directly and ensuring talent gets the support it deserves. That’s Gnarly is set to become the ultimate space for sharing clips, stacking rewards through NFT mints, and showcasing the most insane moments from our community.

A major update for Gnars: our platform, which brings together various tools, has transitioned from to gnars.com. This will remain your go to hub for tracking proposals, treasury holdings, updates, and all things Gnarly keeping everything in check as we continue to build. Well cooked and ready to shred! \m/

A significant milestone was recently achieved with the execution of Noundry: Add Gnars Accessory proposal on Nouns, made possible through the collaboration of a dedicated team. After three years of building and expanding Nounish culture through sports and art, the iconic Gnars hand logo is now officially featured as an accessory in Nouns auctions. 🤘 Gnar forever!

If you browse through Gnars' pages, you’ll quickly spot the beloved Gnaricon whether in graphic design, apparel like t-shirts and hoodies, skateboards, surfboards, caps, digital assets like 3D models, emojis, and illustrations, or physical creations like Nogglesboards and sculptures. And now, we’ve officially made it into NounsDAO’s regenerative data bank an incredible milestone!

"RUFF 🤘 another Nouns generated with our dear Gnaricon, adding that extra charm to the shirt. welcome, @batz.eth ⌐◨-◨ keep it gnarly. nounish af!"

Shoutout to fomonouns.wtf, Ben Gami, Symbiotech, Baltz and all the other gnarly ones! 🤘

With a $100,000 Quadratic Funding prize pool, more individual donors mean greater matching fundsn even $2 makes a difference! Being part of this round strengthens GnarsDAO’s presence in regenerative funding.

Why Giveth? Giveth supports public goods through multi network donations (ETH, USDGLO, USDC, OP & more), fostering inclusion across ecosystems like Base and Optimism.

With a $100,000 Quadratic Funding prize pool, more individual donors mean greater matching funds even $2 makes a difference! Being part of this round strengthens GnarsDAO’s presence in regenerative funding.

Where does the funding go? All funds go directly to the Gnars treasury, driving action sports, creative projects, public goods and Nounish culture worldwide. [DONATE HERE]

To wrap up an epic year, we’re dropping something special the 2024 Gnars Recap NFT Video ''Shred Chronicles: The Return of Gnarly News''. This shred heavy montage packs all the madness, creativity, and love that fueled Gnars in 2024 into one fire edit.

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.

We prefer a world where kids aren't sold energy drinks by their heroes. So as a community of action sports enthusiasts, we've formed a DAO to rethink how extreme athletes get sponsored.

Based on Nouns open source and CC0 artwork, they're stored fully on-chain with no external dependencies. Each one gets you a DAO vote and memberships are available at auction, forever.
