What is Nouns DAO?
Imagine being part of a vibrant creative community where your voice helps shape bold ideas and bring projects to life. Welcome to Nouns DAO—a unique organization powered by collective decision-making and centered around playful pixel-art NFTs called Nouns.
Nouns DAO is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) which is a fancy way of saying it's a group of people working together online, making decisions without a central leader. Through collective decision-making, Nouns DAO empowers people to turn big ideas into reality while having fun along the way.
What is a Noun?
A Noun is a quirky 32x32 pixel art character that lives as a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain. Each Noun is a unique mix of traits like heads, glasses (Noggles), bodies, accessories, and backgrounds. These random combinations ensure every Noun is one-of-a-kind.
But Nouns are much more than art—they’re a key to unlocking an exciting creative world. Here’s what makes them special:
- Unique Creation: Every day, a new Noun is born through an on-chain auction—you can even bid on today's Noun.
- Open to All: The Nouns artwork is released under a Creative Commons (CC0) license, so anyone can use, remix, or build on it—no strings attached.
- Membership Access: Owning a Noun gives you a voice in Nouns DAO, letting you vote on how the community shapes the future. One Noun = One vote.

The Nouns DAO Treasury
Nouns DAO is powered by its community-managed treasury, which is funded by the daily Noun auctions. These funds—thousands of ETH—are used to support creative and impactful projects worldwide.
How Does It Work?
- Share an Idea: Pitch your project to the community by creating a proposal.
- Get feedback: Collaborate with Noun holders for feedback and suggestions.
- Vote: Noun holders vote on your proposal.
- Get Funded: If approved, the treasury provides the funds to make your idea a reality.
