Bali is almost here! Please get your votes in on Proposal 87 to deploy the latest upgrade to the Nouns Builder Protocol, Bali, to Layer 2s.

Based and Yellow Week Winding Down
Based and Yellow Week has been a blast, and The Yellow Collective auctions are off to a great start. We’ve somehow even seen two ship-in-a-bottle heads in a row! The odds of that are really low, so it’s pretty crazy to see. And if you didn’t catch the news, there is a swag bag of goodies available for the winners of the first 30 tokens! Check out the announcement below for more details.
As the week comes to a close, there are still some Based and Yellow mints available for you to collect. Don’t sleep on these!
The mint has ended but you can still collect Day 162 on BasePaint here.
We’ve also got some unofficial Based and Yellow pieces available that were put out to celebrate the launch of The Yellow Collective. Check them out below.

Built on Builder
This week’s featured DAO built on the Builder protocol is BLVKHVND. They are creating an emerging ecosystem for onchain esports organizations, with a mission to be the center of competition no matter where it lives. They became the first DAO to win a professional world championship and are now striving to make BLVKHVND fully owned and stewarded by its community to continue building on that success.
