Huge shout out to everyone who attended and contributed to making Nouns Town such an unforgettable event. The energy throughout the week was palpable, from the creative activations and insightful panels to the electric atmosphere of the Nouns Fest Short Films premiere. The collaborations, conversations, and community spirit were a testament to what Nouns can accomplish when we come together. It was a true pleasure to be a part of, and I canβt wait to see how the momentum carries us forward into the future. Check out some updates from Prof below.
The Park in Ripple of Change
Zamees wrote an article for Ripple of Change Magazine about The Park, where he explores how they are reshaping music creation and distribution through decentralized collaboration. It highlights how the DAO empowers musicians to come together, create songs onchain, and bypass traditional music industry structures, while also serving as a hub for broader conversations about crypto, community governance, and the evolving digital landscape. Read the full article here.
Farcaster Channel Updates
With the recent channel updates on Warpcast you must be invited to join a channel as a member in order to cast in it. This has resulted in some members not being carried over through the update and needing to join again. We have set up Automod in the /builder channel to enable holders of Builder DAO and DAOs built on Builder to be able to join the channel. Please check out Prof’s casts below for more info.

“Into the Nouniverse” Writing Contest
The “Into the Nouniverse” writing contest, hosted by Kiwi and Nouns, invites crypto writers to explore Nouns-related themes and compete for 3.5 ETH in prizes. Participants are encouraged to write about Nouns’ impact, governance, brand-building, and potential future. The contest runs from October 14th to November 4th, with winners selected in two tracks: one determined by upvotes and the other by a jury. Writers can post on any platform and must submit their work to Kiwi for consideration.
