Nouns DAO

We invite the global Nouns DAO community to join our celebration for the third year in a row, continuing to make history together. Our past proposals are 284 and 522. The $88,000 requested will go towards buying pizza, activating Nounish organizations, and sending Nounish party kits all over the world. This is a long-term investment in the future of the global Nounish community.

On May 22, 2025 (Bitcoin Pizza Day) PizzaDAO will organize our fifth annual Global Pizza Party in 400+ cities across 100+ countries, bringing together over 25,000 people worldwide. This year’s event will nearly double the size of last year’s, which took place in 200+ cities across 80+ countries with over 15,000 guests. Here’s 2024’s map:

Last year’s party received well over 1M impressions on X in May 2024, see the details here (compiled by Lorenzo).

🤝 Why Nouns DAO x PizzaDAO?

Pizza is a noun, after all. We show the world that you can put any noun in front of DAO and build towards everyone’s idea of what a DAO for that noun would be. Together, PizzaDAO and Nouns DAO remind everyone that strangers can come together through the power of memes, the internet, and the blockchain and make wonderful things happen.

PizzaDAO Governance Crew also votes in Nouns governance with Noun 292, serving as a portal into Nouns for PizzaDAO’s community.

PizzaDAO’s “We Pizza” Noun 292:

Nouns DAO:

👋 Who are we?

We are a global community of builders, pizza enthusiasts, creators, collectors, artists, and rebels who believe in using crypto to make the world a better place.

PizzaDAO is made up of new entrants to the industry as well as crypto veterans, including Nouns DAO members, CryptoPunk holders, Gitcoin KERNEL Fellows, and builders of all kinds. This unique mix makes our events ideal onboarding environments. Today, PizzaDAO alumni work on countless other projects in the crypto space, a direct result of our commitment to education and fun!

🌐 Our Impact

To date, PizzaDAO has given away over $1,000,000 worth of real, edible pizza in more than 80 countries and built a global community thousands strong. You might have shared some pizza with us during previous global pizza parties, at our crypto conference side events, or at one of the many smaller events we’ve supported. We’ve thrown four global pizza parties, organized 42+ crypto conference side events, and built strong partnerships with many organizations across the onchain ecosystem.

Some numbers:

• Over 300,000 slices served
• Over 500 pizzerias supported
• Presence in 80+ countries
• Thousands of people onboarded to web3

🍕 Our Model

PizzaDAO came together in February 2021 with 314 contributing artists to create the generative pizza NFT Rare Pizzas and throw a Global Pizza Party with the sales proceeds.

Our long-term goals are to make the global pizza party mainstream, tokenize pizzerias and pizzeria real estate, and build an open source pizza francheese.

⌐◨-◨ 🫡 Nounish Coordination

The past two years, PizzaDAO coordinated our Nounish Global Pizza Party activities internally. This year, as we continue to scale, we’re bringing on Mono as a dedicated central organizer for all the Nounish activity around the day.

⌐◨-◨ 🚚 Nounish Distribution

In our last proposal, we promised to deliver Nounish gear to 16 cities for 2024. We way over-delivered on this: we sent Nounish kits to 53 cities! Each city received some combination of Big Shot’s Plastic Noggles, Pins, and Toys, Big Shot’s Paper Noggles that we received as part of Prop 334, and Motivate’s Plastic Noggles.

Big Shot’s Paper Noggles make for great group photos and Motivate’s Plastic Noggles and Big Shot’s Noggles Pins offer the longest-term return as recipients tend to wear them again at future web3 events. This year, we’ll focus on distributing Big Shot’s Lo-Fi Noggles and other Nounish gear to the largest events and Motivate’s Plastic Noggles and Big Shot’s Noggles Pins to the others. Full details in the budget section at the end.

⌐◨-◨ 🫂 Nounish Community

As part of 2024’s proposal we funded Nouns Breakers to perform, Nouns E-Sports to set up gaming stations, a Prop House for Africa’s events, and a Nounish art contest on Nifty.ink (this one below was our favorite):

This year, we plan to work with:

• Gnars DAO: We’ll bring out skaters to olly pizza boxes at our events, like Vlad did in this video from ETHDenver 2024.

  

• Nouns Breakers: B-girls and B-boys will perform at our events, like they did at Global Pizza Party 2024 Los Angeles.

  

• Nouns E-Sports: We’ll set up gaming stations at major events like this one at Global Pizza Party 2024 NYC.

  

• Nouns Amigos: Local members will organize Nouns Amigos trivia at events all across LATAM.

  

• We also want to have many other Noun communities and projects at the pizza parties and are in touch to define their collaboration: Lil Nouns, Public Nouns, Yellow Collective, Nouns Brasil, Based Nouns, Kendama DAO, pNouns, Nouns Malaysia, Nouns Singapore, Nouns Craft.

If you would like to bring your Nounish organization in on the Global Pizza Party this year, please reach out on X, Warpcast, or Discord and let’s make it happen.

We’re also bringing on dedicated Nounish captains for as many cities as we can. So far, we have captains for 42 cities signed up (details below). If you would like to help lead the Nounish efforts in your city, please reach out! ⌐❤❤️-❤️

Captains:

Captains commit to steward the nounishness of their party, make a short nounish announcement, and be a nounish ambassador at the event. We have 42 signed up so far, but we’ll sign up more as the event approaches.
