Nouns DAO

TL;DR - Fund 3 months of full-time development of a Nounish explorer for 15 ETH.

MOGU SO FAR

Nouns participants require custom tools for their use cases; we’ve seen this with Agora, voter.wtf, and other front-ends. The user questions that Mogu tackles are: “Who is 0x34ab…ef2? What do they do in the world of Nouns?”, or broadly “What’s happening in Nouns right now?”. As time goes on, there will be more and more participants and complexity to Nouns, for the only option currently to answer these questions is some messy mix of Etherscan, Agora, Google, and various governance clients. Mogu combines all these into one interface for power users.

Mogu currently parses every Nouns vote, delegation, bid, transfer, settlement, and proposal in a human readable and accessible way. As soon as any of these events happen, Mogu creates custom transaction pages and address pages. I’ve also built other features like a delegation table and a vote-planning board.

Usage is somewhat comparable to voter.wtf so far - 700 visitors and 2,000 page views in the last month. More importantly, it’s steadily growing. Below is an average of views over the last 7 days.

People are liking it but there’s still room to add features and improve -

NEXT 3 MONTHS

I’m asking for 15 ETH to go full-time on Mogu for 3 months. The goal by the end is for Mogu to be power users’ go-to tool, and for it to be the default linked block explorer across the Nouns ecosystem.

I’m going to build at least the following features:

• Aggregated information: delegation history, address’ voting stats, etc…
• A variety of views: proposal pages, nouns pages, feeds, and filters
• Parsing non-Nouns transactions so that Mogu has the whole chain’s context available, not just Nouns things.
• A comprehensive search (for transaction content, props, nouns, etc…)
• Other experimental features: potentially bookmarking transactions, transaction notes, user statuses
