Nouns DAO

Nouns are an experimental attempt to improve the formation of on-chain avatar communities. Nouns DAO utilizes a fork of Compound Governance and is the main governing body of the Nouns ecosystem. Nouns DAO lets Nouns NFT holders participate in governance. Each Nouns NFT equals one vote. Holders can vote directly or delegate their votes. Proposals require ownership of at least two Nouns NFTs. New Nouns are minted daily, diluting individual voting power and encouraging active participation. The tokenomics of Nouns DAO are centered around a auction mechanism and a decentralized governance model. Every day, one Noun NFT is minted and auctioned off, with all proceeds going directly into the Nouns DAO treasury. The initial funding mechanism leverages the sale of these Noun NFTs to build a substantial treasury, which has grown significantly over time.

Onchain Tooling

Uniswap

Uniswap is a DEX protocol for ERC-20 tokens that features concentrated liquidity and community-driven governance through its UNI token. With a total supply capped at 1 billion tokens, UNI holders influence protocol changes and earn rewards through governance participation and liquidity provision. Initial funding included a grant from the Ethereum Foundation and a seed round led by Paradigm, which supported its development and growth in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

DEX

Perpetual Protocol

Perpetual Protocol distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by offering unique perpetual futures contracts. The platform's governance, driven by PERP token holders, combines community input with team oversight, encompassing a detailed process from proposal to vote, ensuring democratic decision-making. Financially, Perpetual Protocol has shown strength, raising $1.8 million in August 2020 from notable investors, including Multicoin Capital and Three Arrows Capital, showcasing its market credibility and potential for growth in the DeFi space.

Derivatives

Gitcoin

Gitcoin incentivizes open-source development through rewards and grants, using a quadratic funding mechanism for fair fund allocation. Governance is driven by the Gitcoin Token (GTC), allowing holders to participate in voting and governance decisions. With a total token supply of 100 million, GTC holders can stake tokens to gain increased voting power through vGTC. Gitcoin has raised $11.8M across two funding rounds to support its initiatives.

SocialFi

Token Terminal

​Token Terminal, founded in 2020 and based in Helsinki, Finland, is a data analytics platform that standardizes financial and alternative data from blockchains and decentralized applications.
