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.

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?

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?

Depositing Nouns would still weaken an attackers power relative to using them to carry out their action.

Your proposed approach is more conservative ✅. But, it will still impact governance, and in the extreme case could completely stall it until $nouns are redeemed. Allowing $nouns holders to vote would fix this.

Changing adjustedTotalSupply by the number of Nouns in the $nouns contract opens an attack surface of allowing anyone to modify this value by depositing Nouns into the contract. e.g. One can deposit 50 Nouns into the contract, lowering adjustedTotalSupply, which lowers fork & quorum thresholds
