Thanks for letting me steal some prime real estate. Back to our regularly scheduled recap.
Here’s what we cover in this week’s post:
→ Noun Delegation Auction
→ Free Mint ⌐◨-◨
→ 3 Latest Proposals
→ Marketing Round Winners + Retro Round Open Now
→ Around the Lil Community
→ Lil Noun Stats
Alright, let’s dive in!
→ Noun Delegation Auction
Another week, another experiment in the Nouniverse!
For the first time ever, a Nouner auctioned off delegation of their Noun for 3 months.
Bonkers experiment. In the best way.
And this naturally opened up the conversation about whether Lil Nouns should auction the delegation of our 15 Nouns to make some income as we continue to build towards being a sustainable DAO on our own.
If you’re a Lil Noun holder, you can catch up on the conversation here in Discord.
We’ll see how this unfolds, but in the wise words of King Baba:
“The market is deciding what is fair.”
→ Free Mint ⌐◨-◨
Last night, I couldn’t help but imagine Jack Butcher’s latest Visualize Value project, “Checks” with Noggles instead of Checks. It has a really interesting burn mechanic that is worth exploring (see tweet thread linked above).
Anyway, he made “Checks” as a derivative of Damien Hirst’s piece: “The Currency.” So I felt it was only fitting to make a derivative of the derivative. Meta, I know. Since minting last night, there have been over 20,000 mints.
It’s free. But has secondary royalties (6.9%), all of which go to Lil Nouns treasury.
Mint one (or 100) now and future royalties will all go to our treasury:
Open edition
Free mint
6.9% royalties go directly to the @lilnounsdao treasury
(Thanks for the inspiration @jackbutcher – everyone should go pick up a “Checks”)
Noggled Checks – VV + Lil Nouns
→ 3 Latest Proposals
Last week, one Prop ended, and two have been put up for a vote. Unfortunate to see Craig’s IRL activation not pass, but I am hoping he’ll come back with another idea or version in the future.
Proposal 93 [Active]
lilnouns.eth: set reverse record
This is a simple proposal to set the reverse record from the treasury to be lilnouns.eth. By setting this reverse record, anyone will be able to easily send anything to Lil Nouns by simply inputting lilnouns.eth.
copypasta of https://nouns.wtf/vote/205 and https://nouns.wtf/vote/202.
Proposal 92 [Active] That’s this! 👋
Lil Nouns Weekly Newsletter Continuation (plus Twitter Threads at a 30% Pay Decrease)
1. Continuation of writing the Weekly Newsletter
2. Adding Weekly Twitter threads
3. 30% pay decrease from last proposal that passed
Proposal 91 [Defeated]
Unique IRL Proliferation at 420 Tasty Trivia Events
6.9 ETH to sponsor and brand 420 Tasty Trivia Events as Lil Nounish

Here are the winners:
Retro Round
Round 12
Funding: 2.50 ETH × 5
A lot of people have contributed to the success of Lil Nouns DAO at different consistencies, scopes, and visibility. With this in mind, this Retro Prop House round is designed for previous contributions that may have gone unnoticed. In the round, builders are encouraged to present the scope, size, and impact of their contribution. This will not only give contributors a chance to make their contributions more visible, but it will also allow the community to recognize the value of these contributions. As part of this Prop House round, 2.5 ETH will be paid out to 3 top-voted winners.
Wiz, Lil Pizza and Baba are leading the pack as of now. 🙌
Voting ends in two days, so cast your votes asap!
