Extend maty's Nouns Proposals Tracking Work
TLDR: Fund maty to continue tracking all funded Nouns Proposals and writing weekly newsletter for 4.5k USD/month.
Tracking proposals - proposal.wtf
It’s hard for individuals in the Nouns Community to follow progress of projects after they get approved and funded. The information is scattered. Accountability is important.
What I have done since being funded in Proposal 174
- I have followed up with builders of all funded projects and shared all the awesome work they’ve done.
- I am trying to get the most out of these projects in other ways too - trying to salvage “failed” projects, getting assets and items that might otherwise go to waste.
- Thanks to those follow-ups, I have contributed to a lot of ETH being returned to the DAO, both in terms of leftover funds and forgotten volatility buffers (~150 ETH in total).
- All of the data is stored in interconnected Notion dashboards, which allow searching and filtering based on many properties (category, value, true cost, …).
Newsletter - nouns.substack.com
Nouns DAO is very active, with hundreds of funded projects & still more seeking funding. That means there is a lot of information, scattered throughout different channels (multiple Discord servers, Discourse, Twitter, …).
- I’m publishing a weekly newsletter highlighting the biggest things happening around Nouns, showcasing new and existing projects, proposals, art, and more.
- Serves both as an information distribution mechanism and as a historic snapshot of the DAO (Example).
- Special posts for Prop House Rounds, Accountablity specials, etc.
- I’ve been publishing it since February 2022 without missing a single week = 100+ published posts with over 41,000 reads in total. Latest posts get around 500-600 reads with high open rate (40-50%), all organic. Subscriber count in steady uptrend from the start, currently around 660.
About me: Active in nouns everyday since Nov 2021, founding Nouncil and Esports Pod member, … most of my work has been centered around tracking proposal progress and publishing weekly newsletter.
