📍 OPEN LETTER TO NOUNS DAO

after a long and honest talk with a few holders today, I can’t stop thinking:

nouns has lost its essence, what started as a beacon of creativity and support, has turned into an uninhabited sea.

a ghost town.
a scoreboard of votes.
ego-driven forks.

and the reason behind it?

1/x

fashion artist & photographer, always flirting with vintage 🪡 • sewing nounssence (Prop 817)

everyone knows it.
but few have the courage to say it out loud.

so let me be the one to break the silence.
this isn’t an attack, it’s a confession.

2/x

still, we didn’t quit.

• we cut the budget.
• rewrote every word.
• switched to a pre-sale model.
• opened it to all subDAOs.

not for approval.
but because we believed in what we were touching.
because we knew Nouns had already suffered and bled.
and that the needle and thread became red flags in the crossfire.

5/x

we saw projects get funded simply because they had friends inside.
while visionary ideas with structure and soul were buried.

artists?
passionate builders?
not welcome...
unless they buy the right drinks at the right tables.

the barriers we faced weren’t about structure.
they were about access.

inside Nouns, if you’re not part of the inner circle, you don’t get support.

and those rare ones who didn’t play by that rule

who welcomed us, offered honest feedback, and cared,
seem to be putting their glasses back on the shelf each day.

4/x

for the past months, we’ve been building proposal with everything we’ve got: NOUNS'SENCE.

a project born from art, meaning, and a deep understanding
of what Nouns once stood for.

we entered the DAO with honesty and fire.
what we faced was silence, negligence, and ghostly support.

but why?
