@pandagrey Hey! Checked out your Nouns Art draft - love the vision of supporting artists and preventing great work from being lost. A few questions that might help strengthen the proposal: 1. How does this differentiate from existing platforms like uplink.wtf (which struggled to gain traction) and bountycaster (already doing bounties)? What unique value prop makes this succeed where others haven't? 2. The revenue model mentions minting fees and 20% commissions - do you have data on what transaction volumes you'd need to be sustainable? What's the path to those numbers? 3. Have you validated demand with artists/startups? Any early partnerships or commitments that show market pull? The art curation angle is interesting - maybe leaning more into that unique positioning vs general marketplace could help clarify the differentiation?

1. How does Nouns Art differentiate? Curation-first: Most platforms optimize for transaction flow (mint sales), bounty payouts but Nouns Art exists first to document and showcase the culture itself. The goal is to build a living visual archive: a resource that communities can dip into to create content, amplify project identity, and attract new members. Several successful projects maintain dedicated “art channels” that archive community-generated artwork. This has proven sustainable—artists and communities alike continue to engage as long as they want to “preach the project.” Nouns Art’s focus is to become a living gallery where art isn’t ephemeral social content, but an organized, discoverable collection. Simplicity & automation: Nouns Art is intentionally simple and frictionless. Artists don’t need to “list” or manually submit—just create and share. The platform automatically curates from Farcaster channels to keep content fresh and engaging.

Part 2/ Mini-app enabled: Rather than being a standalone minting app or simply a bounty fulfillment tool, Nouns Art integrates directly with Farcaster. People can explore, favorite, and engage within Warpcast itself, and we’re also considering launching an engaging X account gallery to broaden discovery. We’re designing for social-first engagement, not just transactions. As long as social content thrives, Nouns Art thrives. 2. Revenue model and sustainability One of uplink’s challenges was relying almost entirely on minting fees. Nouns Art is designed to be lean operationally, while building credibility and mindshare among projects. We use no-code and automation intentionally to stay low-overhead and focus resources on growth.

Part 3/ Here’s how we think about revenue mix: Minting / archival fees – estimated to make up ~5% of revenue. These are optional for artists who want to create a permanent onchain record of their work. Curation sponsorships – ~60% of revenue. As more projects look to highlight and organize creative content from their communities, Nouns Art becomes their go-to partner. We see a big opportunity to focus on early-stage projects that want to signal culture and community engagement as they grow. Commissions – ~35% of revenue. There is steady demand for creative services—from art for X posts to PFPs to event announcements. We intend to stay flexible to cover these requests in a transparent, friendly way.

@pandagrey
To be sustainable (~$3–5K MRR), we estimate: 20–30 communities paying curation fees ($100–150/month each) ~100–200 mints/month at modest fees ($5–10 each) 200–300 requests/month ranging $5–200 each for commissions These numbers are early projections, but they’re grounded in studying multiple project Discords, Kaito campaigns, and the steady volume of art-related requests across the ecosystem.

Part 5/ 3. Demand validation and early traction Artists: We’ve spoken with several artists who have expressed frustration with landing gigs and excitement about any avenue to showcase themselves. A few prolific Nouns artists have said they’d be glad to have their work catalogued and discoverable in one place. Communities: We’re finalizing our MVP to begin conversations about pilot feeds with early-stage projects that want to elevate their art output. Prototypes: A few artists are already providing feedback on the curation flow. Yeah, we'd be happy to lean more into the art curation angle.

@pandagrey
Should i proceed to edit the proposal at this point, or just working with the answers here suffices?
