Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

We reached out to The Graph to propose hosting the Nouns subgraph. 

They are keen to support Nouns and plan to have their team actively participate in governance, much like Nouns Deli.

We design, build and ship crypto tools. — paperclip.xyz

Surprised you guys are supporting this -- imo we don't need any "official data provider" 

Ponder is super easy to set up and it's rather cheap since nouns events are pretty rare and theres not much to index. 

People should be able to chose the data provider they want to use -- should projects not currently using the graph be expected to rewrite code to take advantage of this offering? 

I don't really see this as a strong _need_

We don't pay anything monthly for just maintaining, The Graphs cost model is all on querying. 

Only have data on NounSwap's API key usage, which costs ~$20/month (we do some pretty heavy caching).

AFAICT, most apps are using the Goldsky deployment. The reason we reached out to The Graph is because we felt the Goldsky prop candidate was expensive: https://www.nouns.camp/candidates/open-unrestricted-access-to-nouns-and-lil-nouns-data-888d35cda7a2e5df438b75b89e567c6ac6d36ab9

Not sure if this kind of "partnership" is something the DAO is interested in, but if so competing proposals will allow us to get the best deal.

Agree might not be a strong need, not sure what the DAOs appetite for this is, but we reached out to create a competing proposal against Goldsky's which we felt was asking too much.

This doesn't stop people from choosing their own data provider. Anyone already using the official Nouns subgraph (in the monorepo) can change to The Graph decentralized deployment by just changing the url endpoint (which is true today). No need to rewrite any code. If we don't fund Goldsky, all apps using it will need to make this change anyways.

Gotcha ya, thanks for proposing an alternative to goldsky. I still think it’s worth polling nouns builders to see what people are using and what appetite would be for this. Personally I’m content rolling my own indexing but can’t speak for everyone
