Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

I remember the consensus at Nouns for a long time has been that it is "ETH rich but ideas constrained". This probably still holds true considering Nouns has a permissionless / incentivised way of raising ETH but not for ideas per se 

What would a proposal / idea flywheel at Nouns look like? 

I imagine a big part of it will be rewarding the support of ideas, which can take many shapes

Eg, something we're going to try at Wave is to reward people for minting ideas that passed as proposals

Curious what else can be done

It looks like our prop has succeed. We are fucking pumped to make this LAN. Can’t wait to meet everyone.

Thank you for the votes, what a cool experience it’s been so far, Nouns.

And special ty to @peterpandam for seeing our potential and giving us a formal introduction to the community. He has an eye for talent.

For example @peterpandam's efforts here should be rewarded in some shape or form

the remaining caveat would be incentivising the submission of ideas to begin with. One way we could tackle that—welcome ideas from people without the pressure of executing them

we could try this with Rounds, I imagine for each proposer there are probably 10 people with an idea but no interest or ability to execute, however they could be rewarded for seeding the community with an idea

Yeah Wave doesn't solve for it entirely but would def be a big step in the right direction. For example by giving all Nouns fans the ability to promote ideas onchain (and not just Noun token holders) means with the right incentives, Nouns can sustain a whole new layer of contributors that source ideas

iirc wave protocol doesnt rly solve for this but could it..?
