Minimal POC for a contract that would custody all of the t-nouns and let anyone swap for a fee without having to create a proposal.

Looking for feedback on contract and also if this is something worth seriously pursuing.

We tired a few iterations of permissionless swaps in the past, the DAO was against:

Hey thanks for the message. 

Sorry if my comment came across as devaluing your work, that wasn’t my intention. I agree it’s a bit tongue in cheek but was meant more to provoke discussion that maybe not everything needs large amounts of funding to be built. Sorry to have offended you guys though, really didn’t mean that and I apologize. 

Something like this can truly be so simple. I don’t think it’s a race to the bottom to offer up a free contract that accomplishes the goal. In my opinion it’s elegant, pure, less prone to bugs or attack vectors since it’s extremely slim and meant to do one thing.

Best part of crypto is that we have the power to build contracts like this without the approval of the parent contract it’s designed to integrate with. I’d love to see more ad hoc experiments like this and more culture in nouns around building and collaborating rather than needing the expressed approval of nouns and a funded proposal to get going.

I’d love to collaborate on this more with yall!

Hey Michael, I really appreciate your initiative and desire to push treasury swaps forward. We share the same goal.

However, I don’t love your approach. Comments like "this is the free version" can feel like they devalue the work both we and other builders in the space have done. As someone working at a company bootstrapped by Nouns, I’m sure you understand the importance of funding for teams to continue building and maintaining products, and respecting everyone's efforts.

For some context on swapping, this has been an ongoing discussion for a while within the dao. We've def noticed a shift in preferences in this round of swap props based on recent vwr’s. On our end we have been working both publicly and behind the scenes to try to find the best solution for the DAO.

Would love to see more of an open conversation here about the best way forward. I don’t think a race to the bottom is the right precedent to set.  

Nice work on kick starting the conversation and appreciate your work here :-)
