Lil Nouns DAO

We currently hold 3 Nouns, while the threshold for submitting or sponsoring proposals at Nouns DAO is 4. This limitation affects our ability to participate meaningfully in governance, and reaching that fourth Noun is essential if we want to have a direct voice in shaping future initiatives. The challenge is to move toward that goal in a responsible and measured way, without committing more resources than necessary.

To do this, we will update the Bidder contract parameters to re-enter the auction environment with a clearer and more controlled strategy. The revised settings are as follows;

• Minimum bid: 0.069 ETH
• Maximum bid: 0.69 ETH
• Bidding window: final hour of each auction

This timing ensures the Bidder contract only becomes active when bids are most impactful, reducing unnecessary price escalation. All other parameters of the Bidder contract will remain unchanged to preserve existing stable logic.

Alongside these configuration changes, we will send 0.5 ETH to the Bidder contract. Combined with the existing ~0.23 ETH already available, the contract will have enough liquidity to participate consistently in upcoming auctions. The goal is not to win every auction but to maintain presence and act decisively when a favorable opportunity appears.

This approach keeps us involved in the Nouns auction ecosystem, sustains our visibility, and moves us incrementally toward acquiring a fourth Noun. Achieving this milestone restores our ability to propose or co-sponsor governance actions within Nouns DAO, expanding both our autonomy and impact.

If future DAO conditions demonstrate that this strategy is supported or incentivized, we can reassess and potentially allocate additional funds to strengthen the Bidder contract further. For now, the updated configuration and funding plan offer a balanced path between active participation and prudent treasury management.
