Mandated Round: Nouns Governance

tl;dr:

Request to fund a second mandated round for 100 ETH to fund 5 teams @ 20 ETH each with the mandate to build alternative Nouns Governance clients.

Summary

Given the success of our first mandated round, let’s keep momentum up and kick-off a second mandated round for Nouns governance clients. For folks who missed it: an overview of the Nouns Client round:

• 35 proposals from top caliber builders
• 1416 votes casted (a record for Prop House)
• 4 teams funded
• A record breaking % of highly desirable proposals
• Noun-pilled top quality folks

This time around, we’d be inviting builders to propose ideas for alternative Nouns Governance clients. While our classic nouns.wtf/vote gets the job done, there is a lot more to explore regarding Nouns governance. This might take several directions:

• Delegation marketplace
• Better info curation to make more informed decisions
• New voting / dicussions mechanisms for Nouners to better signal prior to going on-chain
• Post-funding trackers

The thing to note is that there are good ideas outside of the community and highly competent builders ready to execute on them. Prop House mandated rounds are a way to not only build up the Nouns ecosystem but also onboard top-notch builders as well.

Scope

The mandate would be around Nouns Governance. Any proposal to build a client that improves Nouns Governance in a meaningul way is welcome.

The round will be hosted in the Nouns Mandates house with two weeks proposal time and one week for voting by nouners.
