- Early to Nouns, Chris voted on 100% of the props for an entire year when he was delegated a Noun. Later, he was awarded Noun 839 due to unanimous FOR votes on proposal 499.
- Early to Farcaster, he noticed the builder energy in the space and started Purple, the first nounish DAO launched on Zora’s Nouns Builder infrastructure with the goal of proliferating and expanding the Farcaster protocol and ecosystem.
- He is also a prolific artist, from his early days working with acrylic on canvas in his Queen’s studio to delivering beautiful NFTs to his subscribers on Hypersub.
- He got involved in many DAOs, and became a part of the Optimism Citizens House, FWB, Nouns, Purple, Nouns, Hats Protocol Proto DAO, The Park, Energy, Builder DAO and many others.
- Chris is always trying to connect builders with grants, be it in Nouns, Purple, or, more recently, the Scout Game.
📽️ THE PLAN
The Nouns DAO community is about the passionate individuals behind it. Hence “Behind the Noggles” series (s/o to Brett for the suggestion 🙏).
With this documentary series, we aim to spotlight these inspiring onchain journeys. Episode 2, Carella.
As with Benbodhi’s documentary, we aim to bring awareness to Nouns and inspire people to join us.
📅 THE SCHEDULE
We will deliver the final cut within 4 to 5 months of being funded. Around April 2025, with filming scheduled for late December 2024 / January 2025.
💰 THE ASK - $39,000 USDC
🫂 THE TEAM
We are essentially the same crew from “Benbodhi: Decoded”.
