Headline

Addressing the Veto:

Although we understand the concern of pbrianandj.eth, we don’t necessarily agree with the veto. There has been little to no voter turnout in Headline DAO for some time now. What we set out to achieve is to highlight the DAO, bring attention back to it, and encourage voters and bidders to re-engage.

We have removed the social media management aspect of the proposal, which has reduced the total budget. While this proposal may seem like a significant amount of money, it reflects the amount of work involved, including website design and management. We hope you can give us the opportunity to showcase our skills and bring renewed energy and focus to this DAO.

TL;DR:

We’re seeking 4.5 ETH to fund a 6-month runway for ⌐◨-◨news, a media publication dedicated to showcasing the latest headlines, achievements, and talent within the Nouns ecosystem. Our goal is to create a sustainable platform that drives new builders and fosters deeper connections across the DAO community.

The Vision:

⌐◨-◨news will serve as the go-to hub for all things Nounish, ensuring members stay informed about key updates and celebrating the incredible people and proposals shaping the ‘nouniverse.’ Currently, no platform exists to centralize this type of content, and we believe ⌐◨-◨news can fill that gap while driving engagement and inspiring new contributors.

Deliverables:

⌐◨-◨news Website - ⌐◨-◨news.wtf A dynamic platform providing up-to-date headlines from DAOs within the Nouns ecosystem.

Weekly Subscription Newsletter Curated insights delivered directly to inboxes and available to mint as a collectible.

Interviews and Features Exclusive conversations with key contributors and builders in the ecosystem, showcasing their work and impact.

Impact:

By highlighting successful proposals and the individuals driving them, we aim to:

• Attract new builders to the ecosystem.
• Celebrate achievements within the community.
• Provide a platform for visibility that encourages collaboration and innovation.

Why Headline? Why Now?

Headline DAO was seeded to execute exactly this kind of initiative: creating impactful, community-driven media that elevates the Nouns ecosystem. As a DAO with so much untapped potential, Headline is uniquely positioned to support ⌐◨-◨news and its mission to centralize and amplify the stories that matter across the ‘nouniverse.’

With the DAO ecosystem rapidly expanding, the need for centralized, accessible, and engaging content has never been greater. ⌐◨-◨news will serve as the go-to hub for connecting builders, highlighting achievements, and inspiring future contributors. By leveraging Headline DAO’s foundation and vision, we can drive awareness, momentum, and innovation throughout the Nouns community.

Budget:

We’re requesting 4.75 ETH to cover the costs of the following over six months:

• Website development and hosting
• Content creation (articles, interviews, newsletters)
• Marketing and promotion
• Operational costs (team compensation and tools)
