Welcome to the Lil Nouns Weekly Newsletter #16! ⌐◨-◨
We are about to hit 200 subscribers! Who will be the lucky number 200 subscriber? Maybe they’ll get a special price (they will!). So, help me spread the word!
I wanted to open this week with a special thanks to Corgie, as he has transitioned out of the newsletter. Thank you for helping the first few months of this Lil newsletter’s existence!
Here’s what I’ll cover in this week’s post:
→ Lil Nouncil Results!
→ How to delegate your Lils
→ Proposals
→ Prop House – Round 8
→ Around the Lil Community
→ Events
One last thing… we have four Proposals on-chain right now—and I’ll be back on chain today for the Newsletter (solo this time)—making it five Props! So, go vote this week!
Alright, let’s dive in.
→ Lil Nouncil Results!
It’s a very exciting time for Lil Nouns as we introduce the Lil Nouncil. Check out the full Snapshot update here. Below is a snippet:
Lil Nouns DAO is at a crossroads; on one hand, it is a pipeline for builders to enter Lil Nouns and ‘graduate’ to Nouns. Examples of such include the recent Nouns Governance Mandated Prop House winners. On the other hand, as the largest Nouns holder, it is strengthening governance tie-in with Nouns. Our growing acquisition of Nouns can attest to that.
The purpose of Lil Nouncil is to push the frontier of Lil Nouns DAO forward by helping builders come up with proposals that align with the growth of the DAO as an accessible builder pipeline and proliferator of the meme.
Roles and Responsibilities:
Lil Nouncil focuses on:
-
being a POC for builders to present their ideas, and guide their proposals;
-
discussing and suggesting ways to further grow the DAO;
-
receiving delegation, and actively voting on proposals.
Voting just ended today! And it is my honor to announce the winners:
→ How to delegate your Lils
Vote! (or delegate!)
I know, I know, voting is a pretty boring topic for most people. But, it’s super important, so hear me out for just a second…
If you are busy (like many of us are), the least you can do is spend 5 minutes delegating your votes to someone you trust that will put your tokens to use.
Here is a dead-simple tutorial (with data showing the lack of voting): Delegation Campaign Epoch 1.
TLDR: in 3 clicks you can delegate your Lils (do it now!) 👇
→ Proposals
Like I said at the beginning of this post, it’s been busy with Proposals lately — Bear markets are for building!

→ Around the Community
1/ Lil Sweep
A nice sweep of 43 Lil Nouns happened this week, by C0C0 DAO, a collective focused on acquiring CC0 NFTs and supporting CC0 projects across the growing ecosystem. You love to see it. 🫡
2/ Meet Psychdre
Meet the Lil Nouners (by Brook) dropped their latest episode with the legendary Psychdre – known for their 3D art, among other skills and contributions to Lil Nouns. Give it a listen this week!
3/ The Merge
Seems the price-action of The Merge was a classic case of: “buy the rumor, sell the news”
→ Events
Weekly Community Call – Sept 25 (Today)
Here is the recording of last week’s call, if you missed it (and amazing written notes here; As always, big shout-out to Brook for putting these together!).
LilNounsDAO<>ComicsDAO – Thurs, Sept 29th
ComicsDAO is creating a Nouns comic. LilNounsDAO has an invitation to create a page within the comic that shills Lil Nouns DAO. This meeting will serve to begin the discussion of creating a single graphic for the Comic.
See you next Sunday,
Lil Saturn
