Nouns is very much still alive, and while extraction certainly occurred, especially through the 3 forks, Nouns has funded over $65M of projects, many of which are of which (including nounspace) would not have been inspired or funded without nouns.

Nouns is not only still active, with a treasury of $10m and generating $100k in auction revenue plus staking yield on the eth, but it remains the gold standard for governance, with unique, high quality proposals always active, and active participation from a diverse, experienced, and brilliant community from around the world. It’s also a top community in /farcaster.

Name another NFT community that has accomplished anything close to this. You can’t. 

It’s harder than ever to pass a proposal or “extract” any value from the treasury. A growing faction of whales and individuals dubbed “the break even movement” are pushing hard to ensure that nouns spends less than it earns so it can indeed live forever, like its contracts will regardless. 

Take our 65-eth-steamed-over-6-month proposal to Double Down on /nounspace for example, which failed to reach dynamic quorum today after receiving no’s from 2 voters (one who always votes no) and 107 yes votes. Fortunately, we joined the weekly X Space for the final 5 minutes of voting and secured a commitment from one of the break even whales to support our prop if we revise it to include plans to decentralize the frontend and implement ENS, which we agreed to. 

It’s not as easy as it once was, but anything remains possible in the Nouniverse, and I remain optimistic for an epic comeback.

@flynn.eth says nouns is dead.

I disagree. 

Wdyt anoun?

building @dau and @boostxyz to help app devs grow onchain with token incentives

My mental model and reason for joining the Nouns fork:

Original NounsDAO = ETC
Nouns Fork = ETH
