Nouns DAO

Goal

Create a Nouns marketplace for originals and extension projects.

Why?

• Create a free marketplace for secondary sales of Nouns.
• Facilitate the exentions ecosystem: make it easier to search and discover the Nouns ecosystem.

Build distribution for the NounsDAO: build community and liquidity that NounsDAO can use to potentially curate in the future.

Considerations

• 0% fees
• No official endorsement of derivatives
• Linked to from nouns.wtf header
• Feels nounish in branding and aesthetic
• Entirely open source
• Low barrier to entry for derivatives to be added to the marketplace
• This will be manually operated to start and managed by the marketplace pod.
• We can work on an automated and more trustless way to recognize derivatives and get closer to permissionless listings.

Budget

50 ETH for 6 months of marketplace pod operations

Milestones

• Design sign off from community
• 2-4 weeks initial development time
• Deployed at nouns.town domain (need to confirm)
• Marketplace launch with initial batch of derivatives
• Offchain orders
• Add in Daily Nouns Auction experience
• Automated derivative addition
• [Stretch]: Aggregate other marketplaces
• [Stretch]: Enable swaps
