With many upcoming protocol changes in the works, Builder Season 2 is upon us, and Builder members have started discussing the potential of an update to the Builder DAO token artwork. What would you want to see the next generation of token artwork look like? If you know an artist that might want to contribute please send them to our Discord or Farcaster channel, and weigh in with your thoughts on the direction the DAO should take in the Discord thread here.
Builder Protocol Rewards
Not only are we potentially getting new art, but we're also getting closer to Builder Protocol Rewards. Zaak recently cast an update on the looming implementation of these reward structures, but community feedback is vital during this phase to ensure we get the implementation correct, so please check out the full document on HackMD here and share your thoughts in the Discord thread here. We look forward to hearing from you!
Welcome our Founder Support Resident
A huge congratulations to Chris Carella on becoming Builder DAO's first Founder Support Resident! Chris brings a wealth of experience and insight to the Builder Protocol, and we are confident that his guidance will be invaluable to founders navigating the exciting journey of launching and growing their communities. We're excited to have him on board and look forward to the innovation and growth he will foster within the Builder community.
Happy Purpleversary!
Purple officially celebrated it's first birthday! Along with that came the launch of Purple Season 2 with completely new artwork. The artwork, originally born from Proposal 35, was created by 0xen and officially implemented with the execution of Proposal 45. Prof Werder wrote about the art on her blog here if you'd like a bit more background. Check out the latest auctions here to see what's already been generated, they're beautiful!

Artwork Update Season?
Another DAO built on the Builder Protocol will soon be celebrating a first birthday as well, and they are also considering an update to their artwork! Sounds like they'll also be running with Chris' idea of minting OE's of burned tokens! We love to see communities take these ideas and run with them so quickly. Check out the full update from Sirsu here.

Builder Channel on Farcaster
The Builder Channel on Farcaster displays a feed of activity from members of Builder including casts and onchain activity such as auctions, proposals, and votes. You can also now see the DAO feed directly on the nouns.build website by clicking 'Feed' as shown in the screenshot below!
It's a really great way to keep up to date with your fellow Builders! Very recently Farcaster has even gone permissionless! Anyone can now sign up for the protocol without an invite. Head to your Farcaster client of choice (Warpcast, Aburra, Flink, Herocast, etc) and sign up today. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance!
Newsletter Artwork
The art featured in this week's newsletter was created by myself using Adobe Firefly. If anyone wants to send me artwork they've drawn or generated with AI, please DM me on X or Discord, and I will include your art and a shoutout in a future newsletter!
Builder DAO Fun Fact
The Builder token art is generative and uploaded within folders in a specific order to ensure proper placement. When creating your DAO art, use the sample folder to assist.

Built on Builder
This week's featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is Nounebels! Nounebel is a collaborative character between Code Rebels and Nouns. It is a unique use of the Builder Protocol in that they will only be auctioning off 20 Nounebels as a way to spread the word about the #1rebel1wallet contract and the Network Code. It is essentially a way to distribute a unique, collaborative collection in a new and interesting way.
