Welcome back, everyone! You know how it goes, you're about to get stoked with what's happening in Gnarnia!

Gnars are a new way to fund extreme athletes

We prefer a world where kids aren't sold energy drinks by their heroes. So as a community of action sports enthusiasts, we've formed a DAO to rethink how extreme athletes get sponsored.

Gnars are NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain

Based on Nouns open source and CC0 artwork, they're stored fully on-chain with no external dependencies. Each one gets you a DAO vote and memberships are available at auction, forever.

Gnars are dedicated to supporting the artistry of extreme athletes


News and Updates

Gnars are Extremely Nounish🤘

It’s been quite a crazy week since posting our latest proposal to Nouns DAO on chain. While the proposal did not receive enough votes to pass it has certainly riled up the nouniverse. It brought out a record number of voters, with over 50% of Nouns exercising their right to vote, and provoked discussion of significantly important topics around the proposal process, expectations of proposers from the DAO, and operation of sub-DAOs.

Unfortunately, there was some drama around the proposal due to Gami’s thread below which outlines how he decided to change things up at the last minute. We remain optimistic that the discussions that took place and the learnings from this whole event will be a benefit to Nouns DAO in the long run. We received a lot of useful feedback and will refine our approach and return with a bulletproof proposal in the coming weeks.

Australian Open

The AO Artball project has partnered with Nouns and Gnars! They are offering allowlist spots via Premint for their upcoming release, special Nouns themed Artball’s, and an activation at the Australian Open with Gami. The project utilizes tennis’ electronic line-calling technology to track where balls hit the ground in live matches and then proceeds to update the metadata of the NFT associated with that plot on the court. You can read the litepaper for the project here for more info and signup for the Premint raffle here.

My previous @v4vapp proposal has expired. I have a new one which is running but unfunded right now. I'm still running @v4vapp and all my other services but I may have to increase the 0.8% fee to 2.0% if I continue to be unfunded.

Please consider asking your friends to vote for prop #244 or consider unvoting the HBD stabilizer explained below.

For understandable reasons in the current crypto climate it is harder to get funded by the DHF, I accept this so I'm asking a wider audience for help again. I will also redraft this proposal with more details (coming soon). I'm also looking for other funding sources.

Additionally you can also help with a vote for Brianoflondon's Witness using KeyChain or HiveSigner

If you have used v4v.app I'd really like to hear your feedback, and if you haven't I'd be happy to hear why or whether there are other things you want it to do.

  1. The bar to be funded is set by the HBD Stabilizer, the more votes that has, the more votes @v4vapp needs to be funded. If you want to reconsider supporting that proposal and unvote it, that would also help me (and others so you have to weigh this choice.)
