Laying the Foundation

There's a lot of building for Builder DAO happening in the background at the moment. We're gearing up for migrating Builder as well as assisting DAOs Built on Builder in their migrations, and also preparing for a busy week buidling at ETH Denver! So while it may seem quiet at the moment, rest assured that we are laying the foundations for big things to come. As soon as it's available I'll be sure to provide a more detailed timeline on the migration process for Builder DAO's governance operations.

If you're attending ETH Denver next week be sure to keep an eye out for the Nouns events! Nouns DAO representatives will be there connecting with Buidler Night participants throughout ETH Denver and answering questions Nouns, Lil Nouns, Gnars, Nouns Builder, and related projects from the Nouniverse! If you're interested in the events please reach out for more details. Also, check out the GM Farcaster meetup if you're around!

Builder DAO Engineering Residency

Neokry's engineering residency for Builder DAO is coming to an end. We are extremely grateful for the thoughtful and impactful work that has been accomplished during his time here! Now we look forward to what's next and passing the baton to the next engineer. If you are or know someone who has the right skills, be sure to send them our way!

Nouns x Farcaster

Built on Builder

This week's featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is ENERGY. Launched on the 2023 Nouniversary (8/8), it is one of the first DAOs launched on Zora Network using the Nouns Builder Protocol. It was founded by a group of 11 creators and innovators to fund creative arts and engineering projects on the Zora Network. The team removed Founder's allocation, making this an entirely community-owned and run initiative, and recently acquired an additional 20.4 ETH grant as described at the top of the newsletter.

Auctions: https://777.energy/
