tl;dr
Nounders, Nouners, and Nounish friends. ⌐◨-◨ After an exciting V1 Bidder POAP experiment, the team is back with a proposal for a stronger, more robust, and more engaging Bidder POAP experience. With the top-tier UX talent from 0xDesigner, the unmatched creative prowess of SerNoadz, the development expertise of Plaid Shaman, and Brkfstsndwh (along with a direct line to Patricio and the POAP team), we aim to deliver a creative and engaging experience that will continue the spin wheel and proliferation of the meme to a whole new audience.
Why
Through our V1 experiment, our team believes that having an ongoing incentive around bidding in the daily auction is not only beneficial to the DAO (promoting increased bidding on daily auctions to add capital to the treasury), but also allows more people to feel like they are a part of the DAO without actually winning the Noun on auction. POAP and team also have some fun ideas for incentives that will be coming via a secondary proposal (think, raffling off a Noun to POAP winners).
What
- Revamped Gallery Page + Auction House and POAP Integrations
- More Advanced Claiming Mechanism
- Updated POAP Art with New Artists
- Retroactive POAPs for Winners Since V1 Ended
- 6 Months of POAPs and Management from Launch Date
How
Revamped Gallery Page + Integrations
- We will work with our team of designers and developers to create a revamped gallery page for showcasing the daily POAP, past POAPs, and winning bidders.
- This page will also show the live auction data for each daily auction, showcasing which bidders are currently in the running to receive one of the daily POAPs.
- Beyond that, we will integrate the POAP API more seamlessly to make the entire experience of the POAP page more engaging and informative.
More Advanced Claiming Mechanism
- With our direct connection to the POAP team, we will work on building a more robust claiming mechanism than the direct send we conducted in V1.
Updated POAP Art with New Artists
- Working with the incredibly talented SerNoadz, we will create a unique and updated art style for the Bidder POAPs.
- We will also aim to commission featured artists monthly that are voted on by the DAO to create unique POAP art in their own nounish style.
- Below is just an example of some of SerNoadz’s work, and is by no means the final art style. We will work with the community to land on the final and approved art style for the key POAP art.
- See example art and full prop here.
Retroactive POAPs for Winners Since V1 Ended
- Once the art is complete, we will retroactively send all POAPs to their rightful winners since V1 concluded in May at Noun 296.
