Bring the Nouns Fair and introduce the Nouns Prize to six ETHGlobal IRL hackathons. Let’s be where developers, creatives, and entrepreneurs gather to build. The Nouns Fair is the space to have fun, experience culture, build, and proliferate Nouns all at once!
The Nouns Fair is an IRL experience that aims to spread Nouns among hackers and builders in web3.
As ETHGlobal states, they are growing the most valuable developer community in web3. At their hackathons, engineers, designers, and product leaders come together for three days to collaborate on building something amazing. The Nouns Fair is a dedicated space for them inside the hackathon where we create a fun nounish atmosphere. This makes Nouns associated with a positive and memorable experience.
The Nouns Fair serves different purposes to help hackers learn about Nouns:
The Nouns Fair is perfect for creating a builders’ cycle on a weekend. Awareness > Learning > Building > Proliferation > Awareness > …
We can’t miss this opportunity to put Nouns in the eyes of thousands of talented hackers!
We’ve hosted three editions of the Nouns Fair at ETHGlobal hackathons: in Mexico, Colombia, and the USA. After three editions we've confirmed the importance of this kind of event to increase awareness, onboard potential builders, and put noggles in the eyes of thousands.
We managed to put Nouns and noggles in the eyes of:
All this blended with the local culture:
We also distributed nounish swag, including:
Nouns Fair Mexico
Nouns Fair Bogota
Nouns Fair San Francisco
Want more photos? Here are our photobooks on Flickr ↗︎.
Want videos? This is the vibe of each of the editions of the Nouns Fair!
Want more proliferation? Since the Nouns Fair happens inside the hackathon, ETHGlobal video recaps have been nounified, putting ⌐◨-◨ in the eyes of the Ethereum community.
Want more details? Here are more detailed reports of each Nouns Fair edition on Discourse:
Want some alpha? San Francisco's fair was used as the set for the Nouns Documentary – hopefully, we'll make it to the cut 🙊
Hundreds of people have enjoyed previous editions of the Nouns Fair. Their faces of joy smashing piñatas, getting candies, winning a T-shirt for playing foosball and just having a good time taking pictures with giant noun heads and learning about Nouns says it all! – We asked a few folks to tell us a bit of their experience at the Nouns Fair.
The Nouns Fair will be a cultural experience focused on builders where they will be able to engage with others, learn and build with Nouns. These activations will be localized nounish experiences with photo opportunities, games, swag, and dedicated hosts answering every question about Nouns and building.
We want to keep onboarding international builders and help others create on top of Nouns. To do so, we plan to go to six IRL ETHGlobal hackathons forecasted for 2023.
Countries and dates may change during the year. We’ll adjust accordingly as things unfold.

After three editions, we now know that making people's first experience with Nouns fun and meaningful makes the perfect environment to be receptive about wtf is Nouns, how the DAO works, and how people can collaborate.
This year we'll focus on making builders build with Nouns by doubling our efforts on incentivizing them to materialize their ideas with Nouns from the start. We’ll introduce a new way to learn the nounish vibe and encourage people to build in-site with Nouns: the Nouns Prize.
People hacking at the event will get a chance to learn about Nouns by going to the Nouns Fair inside the venue. They will learn they can build on top of Nouns immediately at the hackathon and be rewarded. This is a way to showcase the nounish vibe and incentivize the use of Nouns to build whatever they can imagine. Hundreds of hackers building with Nouns all at once like a massive Nouns Prop House flash round – can you picture that?
This prize aims to reward builders that:
Doing this at every hackathon will help to a) have a dedicated window to onboard hundreds of skilled builders, b) get familiar with the Nouns’ culture, and c) incentivize building constantly.
More builders, more props, more proliferation.
Imagine hackers building with Nouns as they already do with protocols and tools like Polygon, Lens, MetaMask, Uniswap, Aave, etc.
The Nouns Fair's experience results from great design, excellent execution, and blending of cultures. We wrap all this in a concept we call culture á la nounish.
We've done it differently in each country. In Mexico City, we did it with rustic hand-painted fair stands, games, candies, and nouns piñatas. In Bogota, with a high-quality printed stage highlighting local cultural imagery along with traditional games, toys, and candies. And in San Francisco, with a 60's flower power VW bus and custom Chinese fortune cookies. All this with a pinch of swag.
We'll keep blending local culture with Nouns in this year's editions of the Nouns Fair. We're excited about the richness of culture this year's locations will bring.
Proliferation and culture á la nounish.
With the experience we’ve had in the previous Fairs, we’ve kept what works best and made some changes, adapting both to each city’s event expectations and social media needs + the Nouns Prize for hackers.
To make this reality, we ask for $226,425 USDC worth in funding, which we'll allocate as follows.
Note 1: The Photo Set, Culture à la Nounish, and Traveling & Accommodation sections are considering a 5% buffer to cover potential changes in prices and schedules throughout the year.
Note 2: For security, all funds will be managed by a 3/5 Safe (0xFB35d8B136729D3aB74d687E482F3D16CE18d89C) including Ale, Mono, the Nouns Fair wallet, Necfas ↗︎, and Franklin ↗︎.
We want to turn the Nouns Fair into a vehicle that can proliferate and attract builders anywhere in the world. We've done it in three countries and want to keep adding more this year.
We are two nounders of Nouns Amigos, the community for all Spanish speakers. We onboard, encourage, and help our amigos to build with Nouns. We are nounifying Latin America and beyond.
We've been active with Nouns Amigos since June 2022. We've done weekly Twitter Spaces since then (now part of the regular TNS Soapbox schedule), three editions of the Nouns Fair, and created Nouns Amigos hub in Prop House ↗︎ which has funded 19 props in two months including two breakdancers that want to qualify for the Olympics in 2024 ↗︎, a giant skateboarding noggles rail in the Dominican Republic ↗︎, these Godzilla-size Nouns in the streets of Bogota ↗︎, 8 Meetups in 5 Latam countries ↗︎, sponsored a sub-champion MBT racer ↗︎, sponsored an Ethereum Guatemala conference ↗︎ and more ↗︎!
But most of all, we've gathered the Spanish community on Twitter ↗︎ and Discord ↗︎ under Nouns Amigos!

Imagine a world where voting does not exist. In this world, we would have no need for rules or principles. But in our world, voting is a reality. So we have a simple rule: we only vote against. We use a “Squad Vote” for each proposal. If more people vote against than vote for or abstain, we vote against on-chain. Otherwise, we abstain. This is our rule.
According to the “squad vote” result for proposal 257, which is 13 for, 19 against and 14 abstain, we choose to vote abstain.The viewpoints of our different members are as follows (source not listed):

Points of uncertainty include:
Huge fan of this proposal for a lot of reasons.
Love the idea of Nounish in-person activations.
Prior history of success.
Eyes = builders = flywheel.
And the vibes are immaculate.
Couldn't be more excited to support this team.
Let's ride!
We are in favor of Nounish in-person activations. It could be nice to work with other groups like OTG to have a more cohesive plan of attack for these events and reduce costs, but this is worthwhile nonetheless.
Reasons given in my newsletter: https://paragraph.xyz/@thebower/active-governance-noun-582-5
Supporting the Nouns Fair exposes talented developers to Nouns culture and incentivizes them to create innovative solutions, fostering the growth and long-term success of the Nouns ecosystem.
FOR - 40 VOTES
Classic_Craig | "Yes, yes, yes. Proliferate to the gigabrains, please."
EltonPenguin | *"Good to raise awareness of Nouns
Josep | "The work of Mono and Ale has been excellent during their implication with the DAO. Really looking forward to see what they can do with this Nouns Fair"
AGAINST - 4 VOTES
nonodynamo | "I do not think there is enough time or enough products to do this well."
love this. I like the focus around a specific vertical of events and that they’ve already shownm success in this category. ask seems reasonable as well. best of luck!
Good feedback on it, good focus, good execution, let's see what a year of Nouns Fairs at EF and ETH Global events accomplishes.
Good Aspects:
Bad Aspects:
The past success of the Nouns Fair demonstrates that Mono & Ale are experienced and committed to achieving their goals. Budget seems reasonable considering the scale of the project. The impact of previous Nouns Fairs can't be ignored, having a nouns-powered set on the global events that involve one of the main target demographics seems very worthwhile. best of luck, keep up the good work.
