Most DAOs are stuck in voter fatigue. Every tiny decision becomes governance. It’s slow. It’s boring. It kills momentum. Nobody wants to operate anything because ops turns into paperwork.
So what if we stopped pretending every decision deserves a vote.
Grant is a model for agentic small grants.
A pool of funds is set aside.
A group of trusted agents receives lightweight budgets.
Their job is simple: spot good ideas early, fund them quickly, and keep receipts.
No committees.
No endless proposals.
No ritualized bureaucracy.
Every grant comes with public context.
What it was for. Who approved it. What happened after. Reputation becomes the real governance. Good agents get celebrated. Bad agents lose trust and budgets.
You get speed without chaos.
Legibility without paralysis.
Culture that actually moves.
Instead of debating everything forever, the network learns by doing. Hundreds of small experiments. Constant oxygen for builders, artists, weirdos, ops, and public goods.
Grant is not about spending more.
Grant is about spending better.
Let governance handle the few decisions that truly matter. Let agents handle the rest.
Thanks for your time, just an idea I might test out with /gnars, and figured I’d better see if anyone has already done, or is doing, this…?
PS. If you’ve been around Nouns a while, you may remember this idea from a contest we held in 2023.
