Nouns
Nouns, an experimental attempt to improve the function of the on-chain avatar community, works at the intersection of cryptocurrency, governance, intellectual property, NFTs, and philanthropy. One noun is generated per day - a 32x32 pixel character based on people, places, and things that sell for as high as 232 ETH each. It attempts to bootstrap identity, community, governance and a treasury that can be used by the community.
