Nouns DAO

Summary

This proposal upgrades the data contract to support onchain communications between DUNA administrators and DAO members. The upgrade adds functionality for admins to signal proposal compliance, post announcements, and receive questions from voters. This change supports Nouns DAO’s transition to a Wyoming DUNA by enabling transparent, onchain administrator communications.

Audit

Given the low-stakes nature of the data contract (which only emits events) and the simplicity of the changes, this upgrade was not formally audited. The changes have been reviewed internally by the verbs team.

Changes in Detail

Admin Compliance Signaling

• Admins can signal whether a proposal is compliant, non-compliant, or undetermined (by using 0, 1, and 2 respectively)
• Each signal includes a reason string for context
• Helps token holders make informed voting decisions with compliance context

Admin Communications

• Admins can post announcements and updates (e.g., financial reports, legal agreements)
• Messages can reference specific proposal IDs for better context
• Creates a permanent onchain record of admin communications

Voter Communications

• Voters (addresses with ≥1 vote) can post questions to admins
• Questions can reference specific proposals
• Enables transparent Q&A between the community and administrators

Configuration Parameters

• dunaAdmin: The administrator’s address (modifiable by treasury or current admin)

Once both admins are elected, we recommend they set up a multisig account and then create a proposal that sets the dunaAdmin account on this contract, using the function setDunaAdmin.
