TNS also recently managed to secure funding for the next 6 months after smashing the goals of their previous prop and extending the work (thanks to a great treasury management and securing additional revenue) from the promised 6 months to 10 months!
(Btw they recently hosted the 800th Noun O'Clock live in a row! 800!!!!! Ain't that crazy?!)

We've seen the role of dynamic quorum rise in the past weeks (proposal defeated by failing to meet quorum as opposed to having a majority "against" votes) as krel rightly pointed out! Personally I'm excited to see how this impacts governance. To me, it seems to be a sort of extension of the "filter" happening with proposal candidates.

• before, an idea needed to excite a few nouners to get promoted into an onchain prop, which was enough to "force" other nouners to make a stance

• now merely getting onchain is not enough and props need to be more exciting to secure a big enough attandence to meet quorum

I didnt expect this, but I like how quorum plays a more active role now. Having to fill up a bucket of positive sentiment for a prop to pass feels less pvp than the pure Y/N situation we had before.

Should we burn the treasury nouns? Discuss below.

Spicy Saturdays: Hot Take …. Burn The Treasury Nouns 🔥 I’m considering putting in a proposal for this, idea would be there would be a set date, say Halloween when the burn would take place…. So everyone can get their swaps in ahead of time. Rationale: giving out Nouns dilutes the governance of active participants…. && historically the % of Nouns given out that are left unused or delegated is larger than those given out that do participate. The dilution of governance was also something I mentioned in Nouncil, thankfully we passed a vote to raise voting participation rate to double the previous metric. I know it’s a spicy topic, but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts…. To burn or not to burn, that is the question. 🤔

We are thrilled and proud to see so many photos with nounish Infrastructure on social media every week. It’s all organic and it’s going to keep going. Roughly speaking, Nouns photos in mt.Liupian are getting no less than 7 million exposures on Chinese social media.

Revenue back to purchase nouns is a good intention, Personal preference would to see either the % returned in single bid. Even if that meant noun 1453 was purchased for 10.7e a 80% increase on noun 1452. Thus keep your voting block in parity to the Dao, and not just accumlating a controlling voting block with recycling Dao funded revenue. Maybe ensuring your Dao funded project had the appropriate nouns required to facilitate sponsoring props on chain. At a maximum. I wouldn't be excited seeing a project that became an extremely profitable venture turn into the controlling voting block because they signalled we will return x amount to purchasing nouns. @oshi

You can find new proposal updates on propdates.wtf.

Camp

Camp added a bunch of treasury/spending data so voters can consider the proposals' ask in the context of current treasury & projected inflow - Propdate.
"With the economic macro situation of Nouns increasingly in a downturn, our priorities have shifted to do what we can to ensure a bright and lasting future for the project. This month we’ve added better tools for voters to understand the economic realities of funding a proposal, and we plan to do more work in this area."

Nouns Amigos kicked off a new grants program with up to 2.5 ETH rewards! More info below.
