Gift a Noun to Nounish Founders: gami

tl;dr - Honor early founders of nounish communities: gami

This is the second of a set of proposals to gift Nouns to the founders of the first three Nouns forks who proliferated Nouns via unique iterations of nounish DAOs which evolved into the largest nounish communities today.

I feel the reputation of these founders precedes them, so I’ll be brief. These three founders were very early builders in the Nouns ecosystem, without them the most active nounish communities today would not exist. Not only were they behind the earliest iterations of the Nouns auction and DAO structures, they have continued to contribute to the ecosystem as time has gone on.

As devoted builders in the nouniverse, they have proven their value and alignment with the DAO and would be ideal candidates to receive Nouns.

These communities far exceed the size of the community of Nouners. The majority of people who are active in the Nouns ecosystem are involved through one of these sub-DAO communities.

gami

Founder of:
- Gnars
  - The second Nouns fork (Launched February 15, 2022)
  - Utilized the Nouns auction mechanism but not onchain governance (only initially, Gnars have since migrated to full onchain governance)
  - Originally auctioned 1 Gnar per 666 blocks with no auction extensions, which led to the community rallying around the end of the auction like a game and attempting to snipe each other in the final block
  - Uses unique art - incorporated the Gnars hand logo and each Gnar held a skateboard in the v1 art
  - Gnars v2 reduced the auction time to 10 minutes and implemented the Gnarving - every 1,000 auctions the auction duration doubles. Currently the auction duration is 80 minutes.
- Tings
  - The fourth Nouns fork (Launched May 31, 2022)
  - The second full Nouns fork (utilized both nounish auctions and onchain governance mechanism)
  - 1 auction every 2 weeks
- Art Haus
- Omega
- Forgeries

Contributed over 200 ETH to the Nouns treasury via auctions
- Noun 189: 89.89 ETH
- Noun 401: 95.32 ETH (Given away through an Omega raffle)
- Noun 542: 30.69 ETH (Sold at breakeven but ended up making it’s way to Bob Burnquist)
- Total = 215.9 ETH
