Ethereum Singapore is Nounish
Fund Breakdown:
1. Retroactively supporting 4 workshops with the National Volunteer and Philantrophy Centre of Singapore and providing a Nounish presence at the Ethereum Singapore conference - 15,000 USDC
The National Volunteer and Philantrophy Centre work with 2,000 charities and non-profits in Singapore and have come on board as a partner for the hackathon. 4 workshops have been run together with them engaging 40 non-profits as we educate them on Web3. The workshops were:
- Crash course on Web3 for non-profit organisations
- Using Web3 for NPOs - when, where, how?
- Hands-on workshop - setting up an ENS, demo on QF with clrfund
- Road to Ethereum SG: Defining Challenge Statements
The final workshop led to challenge statements being generated for Ethereum Singapore. Furthermore, this process will be thoroughly documented and disseminated as an open-source playbook, serving as a public good empowering other communities globally where they are able to freely utilize the hackathon format as a guide.
At Ethereum Singapore, we are breaking from the norm of using booths to showcase Nouns. Instead, the entire venue will be transformed into an immersive playground for Nouns, allowing event guests to fully engage with the world of Nouns throughout their visit. This fresh approach offers abundant photo opportunities and generates brand awareness as well as online attention as guests share their experiences on social media. We will feature Nouns as much as possible during the event including speaking and physical activations.
What to expect:
- 3D Nouns models all around the venue (ref. Nouns fair)
- Hackathon format released as a open-source playbook
- Nouns discussion panel
- Nouns logo (Noggle) placement on ETH Singapore Website
- ETH Singapore social media recognition pre/post event

- Event Staff/Volunteers wearing Noggle

Participants & Hackers will be challenged to find answers via NounsDAO webpage or socials. This interactive game aims to leave a impression and help participants remember what they learned about Nouns while winning themselves some Nounish swag. Proliferating with a purpose. Additionally, it helps drive traffic towards Nouns, increasing its prominence.

5. Run with Nouns Running Club
The Nouns Running Club supports this proposal as it fosters a positive sum game by encouraging collaboration and growth. We are thrilled to share that the club has already initiated the planning of an official run alongside Ethereum Singapore. With the successful passing of this proposition, we believe that it will make a substantial contribution to the widespread adoption & visibility to Nouns Running Club powered by Nouns.
Total = 27,600 USDC to be sent to ethereumsingapore.eth
Motivation for Nouns to be at Ethereum Singapore
1. In true Nounish spirit, it is focused on public goods & non-profits
The spirit of bringing Web3 to enable real impact deeply resonates with Nouns ethos, where the very first proposal ever passed on NounsDAO was to "Donate 5 ETH each to 6 charities" and also produced public good structure like prop house to empower builders.
Similarly at Ethereum Singapore we shared the same vision featuring a hackathon for good where the challenge statements will be collaboratively developed with local charities and non-profit organizations that have an interest in web3 technologies. Our collaborating partner National Volunteer and Philantrophy Centre which stewards the vision of making Singapore a City of Good will be working with thousands of local charities and non-profits engaging up to 50+ organisations at the leadership level to educate them about blockchain technology bringing Web3 to them.
2. Southeast Asia presence + Devcon2024 will be in this region!
The team also aims to leverage this opportunity to effectively introduce Nouns to the local communities with the assistance of @nounsinsg, fostering greater awareness and comprehension of Nouns while leaving a memorable impact on Singapore, the blockchain hub of Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, all eyes will be on Southeast Asia as Devcon is set to come the region. Ethereum Singapore has committed to dedicate its excess funds to support local developers, events, education initiatves, and meaningful public goods for the region and hopes to set a new cultural norm for Ethereum events.
3. A Nounish gathering point for our community
Ethereum Singapore is held during F1 week which numerous events such as Token2049, Filecoin Summit, Froyoverse, NFT Asia, Milken Institute Asia Summit, and many more are held. Amidst the hectic non-stop event schedule, Nouns holders can feel at home at Ethereum Singapore with like-minded friends and our adopted web3 family members. The wider public interested in web3 can also learn about what we're all about and perhaps their first web3 interaction would be with a Nounish artifact!
