yeah similarly to will papper I opened up the prop kind of skeptical and then was positively surprised. an educational quest around learning about self-custody security to be eligible for a public raffle to win ledgers (that as items are kind of pricy for most ppl but a really handy thing you can use for years in your crypto journey if you have one) feels nounish to me. also the use of prop house can introduce more ppl to that nounish tool as well. plus the return of revenue for the products sold for the non giveaway units (360 out of 500) makes it potentially a very low cost marketing collaboration between nouns and ledger. i share some of jesse's concerns that market demand might not exist for 360 units but to some extent this prop likely has to be a certain size for it to make sense for ledger and i feel pretty good about the scale here (which is pretty small / reasonably sized imo). great prop and kudos to joao, thebower, and jp for bringing the prop to nouns!
Big ups to TheBower and jp for bringing us this slam dunk. I can’t wait to own one. Marketing these easy to use, self custodial, hardware wallets is good for Ethereum, Ledger & Nouns. A positive sum hyperpunk project. ✧

Although I don't know what the demand will be, I do think some of the activations around it will bring quite a bit of attention and may be worth the ask for that alone.
thoughtful prop. thanks for putting this together. excited to see what happens!
given $50k is going to ledger production, I'd feel better about doing half of that to start and then expanding if it sells out.
I expect that most existing nouns holders already have hardware wallets and thus won't be buyers/users of this and that the TAM of new users who will buy these is very low.
Promotion of self-custody, use of Prop House for design selection, and net revenue being returned to the DAO is all very good.
I'm normally opposed to "Give us money so that we can manufacture this and sell it back to the Nouns community" type of proposals. At first glance the proposal looked similar, but digging into the details it's quite Nounish.

I feel super confident this could lead to some awesome stuff afterwards.
Nounish, product matched with actual projectable demand, will generate revenue, makes total sense.
There has been a clamoring for a Ledger + Nouns Collab in the past few weeks…
We are excited to announce that Ledger is onboard to create an OFFICIAL GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP with Nouns!
In this first Campaign, 500 fully customized units will be produced with the help of the community which will be distributed in fun and engaging ways, as well as being available to purchase to the wider public.
Ledger Nano S Plus will be the chosen model, as it has the best value and customization options. Not only will the device be fully customized, but also the full packaging, as shown below.
Ledger will be an active partner throughout this campaign and will promote the collaboration on their own social media channels and incentivize larger community participation.
Ledger has over 700,000 followers across Twitter and Instagram. Nouns Ledger will be promoted on both platforms.
For the community, by the community.
In an effort to create awareness and community engagement, a Prop House round will be created for artists to submit their own designs of the Nouns Ledger and its packaging.
Two designs will be selected by Nouners, one for the outer sleeve and one for the actual device. Each one of the winners will receive 1 ETH and 2 units of their designed Ledger, adding an incentive for active participation.
Being able to have your very own design forever carved on a Ledger is an incredible incentive, which we believe will garner a massive turnout and community awareness.
Quest will be an educational experience for the public to learn, play and earn their unique Proof of Knowledge NFT certification, gain access to Nouns Ledger and a special raffle for those who hold the NFT.
Ledger Quest will be a 20-question, educational quiz on Ledger's website. After the successful completion, participants will receive a soulbound PoK NFT.
To prepare the community for the Quest, Nouns & Ledger will engage in activities such as workshops and Twitter spaces providing exclusive access to the most qualified experts on both sides to discuss topics such as Web3, security, Nouns and DAOs, to be scoped by both teams.
Ledger is strongly commited to the success of this campaign and will also produce several assets to boost awareness of the partnership and this activity, such as:
ApeCoin Ledger Quest trailer.
- Ledger Quest Raffle (100 units):
To further engage community participation and as a way to portray our public good ethos, we will raffle 100 units of Nouns Ledger to all those who successfully participate in the ledger quest.
Ledger will automatically raffle these units amongst the holders of the PoK NFT.
- Content Creators & Nounish Ecosystem (36 units):
We will be collaborating with influential creators who resonate with the Web3 as well as nounish communities, such as TNS, Nouns Esports, Gnars and others to be selected by the team.
Each will receive up to 2 units of the Nouns Ledger to help promote the partnership organically with their community. Our objective is to leverage their reach and credibility in order to maximize exposure.
- Prop House Winners (4 units):
As mentioned above, each one of the two winners of the Prop House round will receive 2 units of the Nouns Ledger.
The remaining 360 units will be made available for purchase at Ledger’s website. Each Ledger will be priced at $99 each.
Initially Nouns Ledger will be available to purchase to those who completed the Ledger Quest and are holders of the soulbound PoK NFT.
The total net revenue of this sale will be returned to the DAO. If the units sell out the DAO can expect to see a very significant amount being returned to the treasury.
