Why 'Nounishpunk' Deserves DAO's Support?
Check out the excitement! People can't stop asking about the intriguing world of 'Nounishpunk' and its unique connection to the Nouns DAO. See how curiosity is piqued and interest is sky-high. It's clear that the Nouns culture is sparking intrigue far and wide through the Nounishpunk game.
Here's the question: Is a Nounish game designed to introduce players to Nouns DAO and its culture worthy of support and funding from DAO? We believe that this game has the potential to generate significant exposure and positive advertising for DAO. Although we haven't even initiated a press release for the game, and without any external funding, we've strived to familiarize DAO with the world we've crafted, but we received encouraging feedback and it shows us that even with a small amount of support from DAO, we can make a significant impact.
