Retrofund Yukigesho's work on Nouns Terminal

TL;DR: 9 ETH for 2 years of maintenance and 5 months of Yukigasho’s active work on Nouns Terminal

Nouns Terminal is an alternative Nouns auction client focused on high information density. It has been consistently used by ~200 unique users/month, and facilitated 10 bids (including one winning bid).

Since May 2024 Yukigesho has been actively working on bug fixes, upgrades and improvements.

Why consider retrofunding Nouns Terminal?

Independent open-source implementation that’s easy to self-host
Displays a lot of useful data the other clients don’t (profiles, graphs, balance changes, and more)
Support Yukigasho — talented raising star developer in the Nouns ecosystem

Progress so far

Over the last 5 months Yukigasho has completed more than 60 tasks: introduced new features, fixed bugs, made performance improvements and maintained a healthy open-source codebase.

Price graphs. See how Noun sales are going at a glance, in the last 3/6/12 months.
Bidder profiles. Index and display information about the 2,200+ wallets who participated in the auction. The extra information includes ENS avatars, social profiles, custom bio and bid history.
Balance changes. When a wallet transfers in more funds, the auction table highlights ETH value changes.
Noun profiles. Show details about each Noun and its traits.
Auction pages. Add a way to directly link to a specific auction with nice-looking OpenGraph and Farcaster preview frames.
Client information. If a bid was placed using a registered Nouns Auction client, Nouns Terminal will show the client icon and link in the bid row.
Public analytics. An open dashboard showing Nouns Terminal usage.
Monitoring and oncall. Alerts that notify Yukigesho when something is wrong. Twice in the last 5 months Yukigesho has fixed bugs and protocol/metadata changes.
Farcaster bot. LLM-powered bot that gives each Noun a name and tries to be funny.
Latest dependencies. Upgraded several major versions of NextJS and a dozen more dependencies, migrated from Ethers to viem, upgraded to wagmi to v2, integrated the latest versions of wallet connectors. This ensures we use the latest, most secure tech and makes it easier for contributors to submit changes.
Improved reliability and performance. Reduced the time-to-index from 20 minutes to less than 60 seconds. Fixed a bunch of tricky concurrency problems.
Documentation for self-hosting. Anyone can run Nouns Terminal locally or host it on the most popular hosting providers. Simple instructions are provided in the repository.

Future Plans

9 ETH will not only reward 2 years of maintenance, 5 months of active work, 10+ bids, 800+ users, but ensure guaranteed maintenance through May 2025.

During this time, Yukigasho will focus on promoting the client and onboarding more users. The goal is to reach the point where the protocol reward fees are paying for the project hosting and maintenance.

All code is open source (hosted on GitHub) and easy to self-host.

Endorsement from w1nt3r.eth:

“Yukigesho is my most talented intern. He’s been doing full stack development for over 3 years, working at big banks and small startups. When I told him about Nouns, his mind was blown and he asked to take part in this. I’ve been impressed at how quickly Yukigesho onboarded to web3 development, I can see his evolving sense of ownership and exciting ideas. I would love for Yukigesho to continue working on projects in the Nouns ecosystem, and kindly ask the community to retrofund his contributions”

I think we should actively be recruiting the best available talent (coders, artists, etc.) and make 'working with nouns' the best possible experience for them.

this kind of small asks with potential big upside should be funded quickly and without hairsplitting. at the end of the day, great talent, when neglected, will just find other projects to work with.

tbh, I don't care so much for what Yukigesho can do for nouns.sh (tho it looks great!), but all the new ideas he'll have in the process and what new project/client/tool may come out of it!

0xA868...9E63

(for)

Generally i think Nouns is better off if people feel confident doing things on their own accord and, if the work is of high quality/see usage, can expect some form of retro compensation for their contributions. This is better than a world where no one is doing anything until after they receive a check (but ofc there is a spectrum here, both extremes might be undesirable).

It shouldnt be too easy to get retro comped though, and it shouldnt be a hard expectation from the proposer. I think we really want to make sure the work adds to the nouns game/mythos in some way, be it redundancy, users, smiles, capital inflow, eyeballs, etc.

Im glad that Nouns Terminal exists, thanks Yukigesho and winter!

The fact that the last proposals the Nounders dusted off their wallet to participate in a vote for (besides the Duna of course) was Prop 457 back in December of 2023 and they decided to slam their votes down to push this through is a terrible precedent and horrible optics.

Currently the largest active voting block is Nouncil, which mind you is made up of 64 individuals, so the views are very decentralized. The Nounders block represents 86.8% of quorum and in my opinion should only be involved in very important proposals.... if not there is no point for any small voters to participate..... we'll just let Nouncil, 40 and Nounders call all of the shots.

I believe after Yuki's pitch on the Nouncil call he was going to rally enough support for small voters to outweigh the against vote of Nouncil, I even mentioned this to Winter.... but the fact Nounders decided this proposal - for retro of 9 eth to a builder for a client thats already been funded, was important enough to get involved in - even more important that all of the 221 proposals they sat out is just mind blowing to me.

Is this what we have to expect in the future? Is this just a taste of what the Duna is going to be like?

I voted yes in Nouncil, but changing my vote to against based on principal even though it's obviously still going to pass, as it should.... but it should pass from the support of the masses vs being pushed through.

Strongly in favor of funding open source software that has the potential to move the needle for the community, either by solving valuable internal problems, and/or even better, solving valuable problems for users and communities beyond nouns.

However, while nouns.sh is nice to have, I'm not yet convinced it checks either of those boxes. Appreciate Yukigesho and w1nt3r's work so far on this, and would like to see them continue building nounish stuff, but would much prefer to fund a prop with a path for how Nouns Terminal could provide benefits to Nouns that exceed the cost rather than maintain the status quo.

Also, while I'm in favor of retro funding where appropriate, agree with the other comments that the funding already received (25 ETH) should be mentioned.

This is going to pass regardless though, so congrats and good luck! Hope this funding helps nouns.sh evolve, attract more usage, and achieve sustainability 🤞

I'm going to vote for, but this vote shouldn't be used as a confirmation that there should be future rewards on the nouns terminal. I personally don't think Nouns Terminal has been successful and I'd like both contributors to reconsider their approach. I'm voting for because I like them and I want them to keep working on nouns related projects.

I really wrestled with this one.

one the one hand, I very much agree with Krel & Frog that a culture of retro rewarding work is desirable

on the other, I worry we're setting a bad precedent because of the details here

no disrespect to 9999 & ccarella, I think they made bad takes about precedent either not existing or being impossible to enforce in Nouns. it's impossible to scale without a culture of norms & boundaries enforced by people who stay around for a long time

I think its a bad precedent for two reasons:

in his correspondence with Nouncil, Winter explicitly said, "I have plenty of Nounish project ideas (some really cool ones, actually!) for my intern, but I can't be paying him nothing."
the Nounders wallet forcing this through

I was leaning For before reading that message. nouns.sh was explicitly restarted because of client incentives and the potential to earn revenue. if you've been unable to generate usage and if you're not in a position to take on paying an intern, the onus is not on Nouns to pay them for you just because you built something that interacts with Nouns contracts.

"Nouns should fund things that last.

This should not be a VC for startups or a job to pay your bills.

Create meaningful, lasting creations.Think 5-10 years, not just the next year.

Dream bigger. ⌐◨-◨" - ppd

the Nounders Wallet being activated for a non-core infrastructure proposal, (ie DUNA,) gives the appearance of impropriety and fundamentally undermines the idea of Nouns governance as decentralized. if Founders at large feel strongly about a proposal, they have votes in their individual wallets they can use to vote without sullying the process

0xdcf3...7a19

(against)

I struggled with this one as well and was also leaning For. It's cool software and the fact that it's open-source and easy to self-host is great, but I think it's important the team demonstrates success/need for the product or participates in Nouns outside of seeking funding if they want continued support from the community

Honestly pretty torn on this one.

Nonetheless, wish both builders the best, and look forward to seeing what they build next 🚀

Would like to see a more clear budget breakdown with a more concrete plan to promote given just one winning bid outcome

I've held off on voting till now to see if anything would change, but there are some missing details I need to mention. For instance, Nouns Terminal was already funded with at least 25 ETH, and it's kinda odd that this isn't mentioned in the proposal. Most of what you're seeing here has already been funded before.

And while it says the project is open for self-use, I'm still scratching my head here. There’s no compatible license on the project to clarify that. Without a proper license, using this legally is questionable in many jurisdictions, and ethically, probably everywhere. Plus, the project includes materials like commercial fonts without any clear licensing. Not a good look.

If we're going to use client incentives, consistency is key. The only stat that really matters is whether anyone is actually using the client. And that stat comes from onchain client incentive records, which aren't mentioned here. If no one's using Nouns Terminal, why fund it further? And if people are using it, aren't the current incentives working fine? If they aren't, shouldn't we look at increasing incentives rather than just falling back? We put nearly a million into Verbs this year, and as far as I can see, the only thing they've really delivered is client incentives, which, if this is where we're at, seem kinda pointless.

As long as we keep funding frontends, there are always going to be new ones. I get it, some specific people used the lack of options pre-client incentives to grab hundreds of thousands in funds. But at some point, that’s not going to work anymore, and the only way forward is to push for client incentives and similar options to create a competitive environment. I'd say, if client incentives aren't cutting it, just throw it onchain and push for a higher percentage. Beats chasing clients with zero usage records, right?

I've been stumbling upon Nouns Terminal a couple times now and been always impressed by the quality of the interface.

If I could make a wish, it would be for the terminal to be more of a sh terminal and less like an analytics dashboard. A sh terminal in with a couple fun commands - but no ai prompts. Something highly curated and made for the community that bring all sorts of weird things to life on nouns.sh, perhaps there's an indexing capability which starts to crawl nouns related content based on... perhaps introduce some type of client ID but for content? for websites, mints, etc. for the terminal to then eventually evolve into a fun search engine.

generally agree with Krel that Nouns is better off if people feel like it's at least a possibility that they will be retrofunded for their contributions. I think somewhere around this 10ETH mark is the sweet spot for retro-funding work that the dao didn't "ask for".

Some other software props have failed in the past, almost always because the prop is asking for 200k or more up front and it's a much harder pill to swallow.

I like the idea of a vibrant community of "weird" nounish software that people build for the love of the game and the hope that maybe they'll get 5-10 ETH.

I don't want to belittle noun.sh by calling it a hobby project, I mean that in an endearing way. It's just not trying to be a VC scale thing, and that's great, and nouns needs more software like that

Over the last 5 months Yukigasho has completed more than 60 tasks: introduced new features, fixed bugs, made performance improvements and maintained a healthy open-source codebase.

Price graphs. See how Noun sales are going at a glance, in the last 3/6/12 months.
Bidder profiles. Index and display information about the 2,200+ wallets who participated in the auction. The extra information includes ENS avatars, social profiles, custom bio and bid history.
Balance changes. When a wallet transfers in more funds, the auction table highlights ETH value changes.
Noun profiles. Show details about each Noun and its traits.
Auction pages. Add a way to directly link to a specific auction with nice-looking OpenGraph and Farcaster preview frames.
Client information. If a bid was placed using a registered Nouns Auction client, Nouns Terminal will show the client icon and link in the bid row.
Public analytics. An open dashboard showing Nouns Terminal usage.
Monitoring and oncall. Alerts that notify Yukigesho when something is wrong. Twice in the last 5 months Yukigesho has fixed bugs and protocol/metadata changes.
Farcaster bot. LLM-powered bot that gives each Noun a name and tries to be funny.
Latest dependencies. Upgraded several major versions of NextJS and a dozen more dependencies, migrated from Ethers to viem, upgraded to wagmi to v2, integrated the latest versions of wallet connectors. This ensures we use the latest, most secure tech and makes it easier for contributors to submit changes.
Improved reliability and performance. Reduced the time-to-index from 20 minutes to less than 60 seconds. Fixed a bunch of tricky concurrency problems.
Documentation for self-hosting. Anyone can run Nouns Terminal locally or host it on the most popular hosting providers. Simple instructions are provided in the repository.

Future Plans

9 ETH will not only reward 2 years of maintenance, 5 months of active work, 10+ bids, 800+ users, but ensure guaranteed maintenance through May 2025.

All code is open source (hosted on GitHub) and easy to self-host.
