Nouns DAO

1. TL;DR

cc0-lib is a search engine and repository for cc0 media, starting with Nouns DAO and its ecosystem.

We help artists & builders distribute their cc0 contents within the Nouns ecosystem. cc0-lib benefits artists & builders in shaping new ideas, growing their reach and find new audiences, and benefits everyone else by allowing them to contribute, browse, remix and use the contents for their own projects & proliferations. It allows for an endless stream of contributions.

cc0-lib benefits everyone in many ways ;

1. access to a vast collection of CC0 resources
2. easy searchability and findability of content
3. showcasing the creativity from Nouniverse
4. incentivizing builders by distributing through token rewards

We are requesting 25 ETH to continue the development of cc0-lib for the next 3 months (August '23 - October '23). (see budget breakdown below)

2. Proposal

Why we should fund this idea?

Collect & Store

• We are building a platform where we gather all nounish cc0 materials & contents in one location for easy access and use.
• Our platform supports a wide range of file types, enabling users to start using them instantly. (eg; img, video, audio, 3D, figma, pdf etc)
• We provide a sitemap for better information accessibility and a solid overview of the contents.
• We are using Arweave network to store all the datas due to its one time fee permanent storage and we want to use it exclusively for all storage going forward. The cost of uploading has been factored in under OpEx in Budget.

By end of the year, we will receive a huge addition to the cc0 library by getting various of open-source nounish hardware & schematics files (Noggles LED Keychain, Nouns Governance Wallet, USB E-Ink Displaying Daily Nouns & Props, Etch-A-Sketch, Noggles Speakers, and Nouns Camera) from Tigris which would onboard more builders to the platform if everything goes accordingly.

On top of that, we can help builders continue to proliferate in their own creativity, context & interpretations if we could get more of these materials from the Nouniverse such as giant noggles sculpture by Alps DAO, noggles skate rail by vladhzc & Gnars DAO, recycled plastic noggles by marinioac. These physicals could be easily seen all over the world!

Eg; JP and his team has built a website using cc0 assets from Nouns Explainer for 200K Video Contest Prop.

Distribute

• We offer an instant & user-friendly search feature to help users for quick results on the content they need.
• Users can favourite contents they need for latter and easily access their favorite contents on the main page.
• We provide a comment section on every contents. We also integrated with Farcaster, a decentralized social network, as any responses for a cc0-lib’s content url will be displayed under fc comments on the corresponding cc0-lib’s content page. For example → https://warpcast.com/n1/0x69b8c3
• We provide search persistence which allows users to persist the last search history they made on the website.
• RSS - cc0-lib.wtf/feed.xml

Contribute

• We provide a submission page for builders and artists to share their project materials within the ecosystem.
• We want users to remix and shape new ideas upon the materials in any medium they prefer, fostering creativity in the ecosystem.
• We introduce a contributor’s leaderboard with the idea of incorporating a gamified experience to encourage participation in the ecosystem.
• We are planning to create a token rewards system for contributors: Implement a system where contributors are rewarded with tokens based on their level of contribution to incentivize their participation. For example ;
  • Tie unique NFTs (1/1s or OEs) to different levels of contribution (eg; 10, 50, 100, 1000 files)
  • Organize challenges or competitions where contributors can compete and earn additional tokens or special NFT rewards based on their performance.
  • Participation NFTs for prop house round, airdropped to all contributors / participants

Public API

• We are excited to announce that we have introduced a public API under the /api/data endpoint, enabling users to effortlessly retrieve data for various purposes.
• Developers can use the cc0-lib’s public API to access a wide range of data, including images, videos, audio files, and more.
• With this comprehensive collection of CC0 licensed content, developers can integrate high-quality media into their applications, websites, and creative projects with ease.
• Whether you’re building a content aggregator, a creative platform, or a media-rich application, the CC0 library’s public API provides a valuable resource for accessing and utilizing CC0 licensed content.
