Lil Nouns DAO

This proposal activates a new version of the Nouns Descriptor contract, which contains many improvements upon the previous version. The Descriptor is the contract that stores and renders Lil Noun artwork and token metadata.

Descriptor Improvements:

• Significantly cheaper on-chain art deployment, which largely benefits builders that fork the Nouns protocol. The gas required to deploy the Nouns artwork has been reduced nearly 5x.
• Improved external API, which boosts composability by allowing external contracts to more easily hook into the Noun artwork and rendering engine.
• Improved descriptor upgradability. The new descriptor separates the artwork, renderer, and facilitator contracts, which enable much cheaper upgrades (e.g. trait retirement).

This upgrade is forked from Nouns DAO. Code has been reviewed by multiple technical community members, has unit/integration test coverage, and has been tested on both Rinkeby and Mainnet.

Artwork Upgrades and Patches This proposal introduces lil versions of all 8/8 Nouns DAO anniversary art additions (8 heads, 3 accessories, and 2 glasses).

In addition, we’ve retroactively fixed eight art errors and oversights, including one token metadata patch. These fixes will not only apply to art moving forward, but will reach back in time to correct Lil Nouns that contain the offending traits. All fixes are either recoloring of existing pixels or removing of extra pixels or reassigning hidden pixels. Most errors are likely a result of iteration and palette color reduction prior to the launch of Nouns and Lil Nouns - some that melded two colors into one, or put two formerly-different colors closer to one another.
