Context: The Prop House team is exploring a new UX via Farcaster for Nouns to allocate funds through. There are several reasons why we feel compelled to experiment in this direction:

We're taking everything we've learned since Prop House inception and speed running it on a new medium. Our goal is to ship a new feature to test assumptions on a weekly basis. Items we're actively thinking about:

Hey, Seneca! Thanks for the proposal and for shipping these experimental rounds so fast. What I liked most about the proposal is that it's all for experimentation, and I also think we should be retrofunding more our builders. Even though I’m voting for it, I agree with sqx10.eth that the proposal should have included how the 50 ETH will be distributed and that these rounds shouldn’t detract from the stability of the core protocol.
The Nouncil has spoken.
We discuss all Nouns proposals every week in our Discord https://discord.gg/fdjJpMeV6K. The calls are public and all are welcome!
You can find previous call recordings here: https://nouncil.notion.site/30328df718424f17a623859018497fc2?v=806b5234a2a34b619c3d5028bcd879f0&pvs=4
Nouncil unsurprisingly showed a lot of support for this proposal. The general sentiment is that it's a good way to distribute funds and the tech is interesting.

All in for experimentation! I wonder if this is a bit in conflict tho with the running proposal for $50k to three different teams. We can potentially see some synergies and teams working together. That'd be quite cool
✅ I vote Yes on the proposal to allocate 50 ETH towards Prop House experiments via the new Farcaster-native UX, rounds.wtf. This decision stems from my belief in the power of rapid experimentation and community-driven distribution as foundational pillars of Nouns.
This initiative represents a unique opportunity to micro-support our ecosystem, fostering innovation and participation among Nouns contributors.
👍 Innovative Approach to Community Engagement

Huge fan of this funding mechanism, one of the areas most worthy of experimentation IMHO & brings excitement to contributing to Nouns on smaller scales once again.
+1 benouna, great for nouns that ph team is messing around in this design space
This is an awesome funding mechanism. I’d love to see this evolve and eventually integrated into the new farcnouns frontends.
