The easiest way to build communities onchain
Nouns Builder lets anyone launch a DAO where membership, funding, content and governance all happen in one fully transparent, onchain system.
- Each new member joins through an auction.
- Every auction funds a shared treasury.
- Token holders propose and vote on how that capital is used.
Launch.
Fund.
Collaborate.
The onchain operating system for decentralized communities.
DAO Platform
The Nouns Builder Model
Nouns Builder runs on a simple, infinitely repeatable loop.
1
Auctions bring in new members and fund the treasury
Ownership and capital contribution in one simple mechanic.
2
Members participate in collaborative content creation
Create content as coins and droposals to turn media into funding utilizing built in distribution methods.
3
The treasury funds ideas
Members vote on proposals to fund work and allocate capital, all transparently onchain.
A thriving ecosystem
Nouns Builder is already powering a growing network of decentralized communities.

Why Nouns Builder
