Thanks for sharing, very excited for this! A few questions (in thread):

1. For adjusted total supply, curious why not adjust by the number of Nouns held by the $nouns contract rather than the equivalent portion held by the treasury? The proposed method will make it harder for props to pass if a large number of Nouns are in the $nouns contract.

2. While $nouns will be great to help bring people into Nouns, it also add an easy exit route for Noun owners (easier than a fork, or selling). Will there be a supply cap on $nouns or any kind of deposit rate limit to try to prevent a mass exit event?

3. Curious about community sentiment on fungibility. NounSwap was rejected in a large part because it “made Nouns fungible”. $nouns does this to to an extreme, and NounSwap could be built directly on-top of $nouns. Is there support for $nouns from folks whom opposed NounSwap due to fungibility concerns?

Noun 40 pfp

shared a bit here. i think it's a misnomer that $nouns makes all treasury nouns fungible. https://warpcast.com/noun40/0x99574a92

I see where you are coming from. But, in both iterations of NounSwap we proposed a mechanism to limit the number of treasury Nouns permitted to be swapped via excluding ID's below a threshold, effectively achieving the same thing. IMO, this is a better approach: https://warpcast.com/spencerperkins.eth/0xe6238761

Noun 40 pfp

yeah but i think in the context of nounswap props given the goal was to make treasury nouns available for swapping / bidding i think most would have imagined a larger portion being available (it’s more “excluding” rather than “including” in that case of $nouns) so don’t think quite the same practically

Noun 40 pfp

as to limiting the creation of $nouns to the dao i don’t quite see the downsides you’re seeing to making it permissionless to warrant that limiting?

Removing the ability for a Noun to be melted to 1M $nouns completely removed any issues around fungibility. It does so while keeping the benefits of allowing people to stack $nouns to save up for a Noun, and also allowing the DAO to reward the community with fractionalized Nouns.
