Nounticias = Nouns + News in Spanish

TLDR

This proposal is aimed at continuing with journalistic work surrounding the Nouniverse, started in September of 2023. We hereby write and talk about all matters relating to the NounsDAO ecosystem, in Spanish.

Summary

In short, the actions to be undertaken are as follows:

• Publishing every Monday the “Nounticias del Nouniverso” thread + xpace with special guests
• 3-4 Instagram posts per week on nounish news & artwork
• Tokenizing La Plaza through a content funding experience via: Rounds, Media Contest, Ambassadors program, and open editions with artistas locales
• Three epic premieres!

Part of this proposal is retroactive (10 months of content) while the other is for purposes of increasing the PlazaNouns content supply, creating original open editions, collaborating with Latin American-Spanish communities and exploring new ways of funding content.

Objetive: To position La Plaza ⌐◨-◨ as a reference onchain media aimed at LATAM and Spanish speakers.

Nouniverso?

This tower featured in Nouniverse 24/7 is inspired by the actual “Torre Latinoamericana” - a Mexico City landmark.

The emblematic Torre Latinounificada was symbolically chosen as the focal point of our branding.

If we are to create a never-ending project then we need to focus on something that lasts through the ages. It is for this reason that we identify with this tower. Besides being Latin, it is the first anti-seismic tower of its kind in the world, equipped with the capacity to withstand high intensity tremors. It was also the tallest building in Mexico City at least until 1972.

WTF Nounticias?

In addition to the pun (described at the beginning of this proposal), Nounticias is a series of threads + spaces that seeks to update the community with regard to what is going on in the Nouns ecosystem.

The weekly newscast takes place every Monday at 18:30 PM GMT-6. At the time of writing this proposal, we have created 39 news threads, which is equal to over 9 months of content.

You can find the threads in the X search engine by entering the keyword “Nounticias”, followed by the number you wish to access.

We have mentioned several NounsDAO projects, including: Noundry, CC0-Lib, Meetcuaks, Nounish Friends, The Nominal Hero, Nouns Documentary, Nouns Fest, Lil Nouns, Nouncil, Propdates, Nouns Builder, NNS, Vrbs DAO, Nouns ESports, Nouns Movie, including sections of BasePaint (randomization capsule) and PropHouse, along with Nouner Scouts, Nouns Garden and, more recently, Rounds.

We have also provided BasePaint giveaways, Ledgers- PlayDNA, Warpcast accounts, and CC0 POAPs --all relating to what we talked about in the episodes. And what is more, we had special LATAM builder guests.

Engagement

This idea has been executed with practically 0 funding from NounsDAO, and with organic engagement. Although aimed at Spanish speakers, we have witnessed interactions with communities of other countries and other languages.

As of today, we have reached:

• 60k impressions in total threads (1-38)
• 3k connecting in Xpaces
• 11k accounts reached in Instagram 2023
• +100 nounish projects mentioned
• +20 special guests

… and we hope to boost these stats in the course of this season.

Whats next?

Nounish news will be included in other socials, like Instagram. We plan to make short clips of parts of the Xpaces for publication --as designed by Jorge, who is set on building an urban genre media - lajungla.urbana

Additionally, we plan to produce videos in Spanish; open editions; fund content; strengthen relationships with the Latin American-Spanish community; and we also plan to open an Ambassadors program, along with contests. This will be described in detail in the following sections.

. .

EPIC PREMIERES

Based on the success of the premiere of the Spanish version of Ordinary Folk’s ‘This is Nouns’; which reached +17k impressions on my personal account, (dubbed by graphicography_ released by 0xleo via prop retroactiva), we want to realize three audio-visual pieces completely in Spanish that go ‘back to the basics’–starting from the premise that there are creators out there who are still not familiar with Nouns.

• Esto es Nouns

We chose a total of 3 videos, which we refer to as ‘epic premieres’. Two of these were winners of the #EnterTheNouniverse contest, and the third is a continuation of Nouns Giants Colombia, the winning proposal in Prop House.

We don’t want to spoil the synopsis of the videos for you, so all we can say at this stage is that they are expected to be epic! . .

2. Nouns Giants Colombia VOL 2

Directed by: @DanielBR88 Produced by: Filmkilo . .

3. Bienvenid@s al Nouniverso!

As a complement to the epic premieres, we will translate-dub 10 videos of the old @nounish explaining nouns. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oec19SUIyb8

We are open to a collaboration with Youtubers so that they can screen this content on their channels or premiere the videos at an IRL event.

La Plaza Onchain

Plaza Nouns comes to the onchain world in the summer of 2024 in two strands: i) minteable-content, and ii) the exploration of funding.

The funding exploration involves more than just giving out grants. It is a tokenised experience where each contributor will receive a token (ERC1155 or ER21) related to the activity in which they collaborate or the contests they win.

Example of remake “La Plaza Onchain” by 0xNxsh

Those NFTs will give them access to vote in certain rounds, claim prizes, participate in contests, or simply re-apply to a given program. It promises to be fun!

i) Content Onchain:

• All epic premiers may be mined in Zora/Base.
• Launch of Open Editions in collaboration with artists.
• Content open to other types of formats, e.g. Podcast, gifs, music, animations, photos, etc…

ii) Exploring funding:

• Ambassadors Program: Enthusiasts starting in web3 or looking to develop professional skills related to media and communication (1 ETH)
• Three contests with specific themes: Newspaper, Radio and TV (2 ETH)
• Rounds in Farcaster: Six months of rounds that proliferate the content of La Plaza. Some of the topics we address in the News. Open to LATAM creators who seek to impact the Farcaster protocol.(3 ETH)

(More info on this in the following sections)

…

Web3 Culture en Español

As a medium, we seek to strengthen the ties of Nouns with the Spanish speaking community. We will join forces to create Web3 culture by consolidating Nouns as the main driver.

We will carry out more than 8 open editions of local artists who we are looking to onboard on NounsDAO. They are already established, so it’s great to give them the possibility to participate in a Nouns proposal through remakes of the Torre Latinounificada.

We will also be looking for creators with the potential to sponsor La Plaza and multiple communities around the world that we are looking to collaborate with.

One of the most eagerly awaited collaborations for Onchain Summer 2024 is that with Coco Bay World 🥥

Here are some guestlists, most of whom have confirmed their collaboration…but the list may yet grow! This area will also be tokenized.

La Plaza Ambassadors

The Ambassadors program is aimed at encouraging creators who wish to explore La Plaza environment from the inside, working directly with the core team, and at the same time developing skills that will be useful in a professional domain.

This will be an open application, where 5 Ambassadors will be selected. They will in turn be able to explore the world of La Plaza by performing specific functions.

Some of the activities they may focus on are:

• Language translating for Lives
• Article writing for newsletters
• Art/Design
• Data research
• Content creation

The program has a duration of two months, at the end of which the Ambassadors will then receive a reward of 0.2 ETH + Token each. A total of 1 ETH for this area.

Old School Media Contest

We are going to create three contests that refer to media from previous centuries. This will focus on producing specific content for PlazaNouns, with a specific theme:

1. El Periodico “The Newspaper” 🗞️
2. La Radio “The Radio” 📻
3. La TV “The TV” 📺

These contests can be held on Web2, or Web3 platforms, as uplink, or even Rounds itself. We will choose the platform that best suits the theme of the contests. Total pool: 2 ETH

…

La Plaza Channel

This section relates to our PurpleDAO prop 8, which consists of a series of meetups in LATAM designed to draw builders and creative people to the Farcaster Protocol.

• Opening of rounds on the /plazanouns channel, establishing a pool of 0.25 to 0.5 open each month.
• For the next six months, we will open a total of 3 ETH used to proliferate the content of La Plaza, the Nouniverse, meetups IRL, or a Latin web culture oriented on Farcaster.
• We will onboard Spanish-speaking/Latin creators, first to Farcaster, and then to the WTF rounds channel and make SocialFi possibilities known from the nounish perspective.
• We will select 8 judges from 4 communities who will start curating the content in order to ensure more diversity in the posts, and to give the opportunity for new builders to explore rounds.
• Perpetual Farcaster Giveaways: In all xpaces, anyone may argue ‘why’ they want to have a warpcast account. If their argument results convincing to the hosts, they will then earn themselves a warpcast account. We are looking to give out more than 200 accounts. In LATAM, farcaster accounts are NOT free.

…

Timeline

This proposal is scheduled to be 100% complete by the beginning of 2025, when we shall post all epic premieres; launch open editions-giveaways; approach 70 Nouniverse News threads; and make multiple collaborations. Progress updates to be provided via propdates.

Budget

The following table shows an efficient allocation of ETH for this project. It is broken down into four sections: A) Operation, B) Videos, C) Exploring Funding, and D) Others.

The table is a part of an extended version of a spreadsheet where we create a sub-table for each concept, describing the activities to be performed in each item, for purposes of tracking the transactions.

Some further information is as follows:

A) Operation: Responsible for time management of work performed, xpacehosting, and content publishing. Includes 9 months retroactively, and the remainder of 2024 (18 months in total). As founder member, it will be my responsibility to coordinate this project full time.

B) Video production: Responsible for the production of the Epic premieres and nounish videos in Spanish, rendering, motion graphics, text translation, promotional clips, travel, etc…

C) Exploring Funding. These are the Farcaster rounds, the Ambassadors program, and the relationships we plan to establish with the Spanish speaking community, as well as the creation of more than 20 artworks (ER1155 or ERC21) for tokenization of media.

D)Others: Various types of giveaways, domains, fuel expenses, merchandising, unboxing, along with other expenses that may arise during execution.

The wallet where the funds are to be sent is: 0x1953A6AF601b05d9EB8DbE651654347732c23721
