Omega is a new protocol where Zora editions serve as entry tokens.We will also launch Omega DAO, along with nOmega DAO, as stewards of this new hyperstructure. And finally, we’ll drop a new Noun 401 open edition that’s required to play our debut game cartridge –&nbsp;Forgeries : ALL of them are FAKE except ONE.	▶️ Watch a short video (2:20) from our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMyYKvws-kM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">DEF Demo.</a>Using games to onboard new members into Builder DAO can effectively introduce complex concepts, incentivize participation, and increase commitment. Forgeries will onboard hundreds of new participants into the Builder DAO ecosystem. These new members will be extremely beneficial to the DAO’s goals in the long term by building, proposing and bidding.Our team comprises&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/0xigami" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">Gami</a>&nbsp;(nouner, Gnars and Art Haus founder),&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/emrecolako" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">Emre</a>&nbsp;(engineer and&nbsp;<a href="https://0xchain.art/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">0xchain.art</a>&nbsp;founder),&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/isiain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">Iain</a>&nbsp;(engineer at Zora and NounsConnect), and&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/jordanpunzalann" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">Jordan</a>&nbsp;(engineer and designer).We’re committed to fostering a community around onchain multiplayer games for onboarding more builders, artists, collectors, NFT projects and DAOs to the Nouns and Builder ecosystems.&nbsp;![](https://i.imgur.com/ixZO6NS.png)Omega&nbsp;is at its core a trustless and verifiably random raffle drawing protocol that leverages Chainlink VRF. Based on a factory pattern, we have made a contract that allows any individual, multisig, or DAO to customize and stamp out their own hyperstructure.Zora editions serve as entry tickets and a merkle root layer enables a new design space for multiplayer onchain gaming experiences. Following the hyperstructure concept, Omega is essentially a gaming console deployed on Ethereum that can run for free and forever, without maintenance, interruption or intermediaries.![](https://i.imgur.com/lwMF6G3.gif)Forgeries&nbsp;is our debut game cartridge. Inspired by MSCHF’s Museum of Forgeries (<a href="https://twitter.com/0xigami/status/1579311847081025536" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">thread</a>), it’s a combined game of skill and chance where counterfeit copies of Noun 401 are minted as editions. Mixed at random with the original, players authenticate their forgeries to uncover whether theirs are fake, or the real deal. We’ve created an interface inspired by 80s computing magazines and Japanese gameshows, from which one lucky player will withdraw the actual Noun 401 through a fun and attractive experience.![](https://i.imgur.com/Kb7UqaG.jpg)Code4rena&nbsp;public audit&nbsp;<a href="https://code4rena.com/contests/2022-12-forgeries-contest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">contest</a>&nbsp;is complete with a prize pool of 36,500 USDC (plus admin) distributed to 77 eligible auditors who provided thorough scrutiny and attention to detail. Since then we’ve implemented patches for all vulnerabilities found, made various optimisations and have prepared the protocol for mainnet. All of the code is open source and can be found in&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/0xigami/forgeries-contracts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">this GitHub repository</a>.![](https://i.imgur.com/9pWH9k3.png)Omega DAO&nbsp;is being established to steward Omega and associated releases in the best interest of longevity, scalability and accessibility. In the Greek numeric system, Omega has the value of 800, so we’re reflecting that in our auction configuration:<ul><li>Auction duration 800 min</li><li>Auction reserve price 0.08 ETH</li></ul>nOmega DAO&nbsp;is what we’re code naming an initiative to incentivise the formation of new communities around the losing editions by deploying a second DAO from the first. Omega is commonly used in English to mean “the last of any series” and since that points to the winners, we’re including the losers in our Omega DAO token allocation:<ul><li>Losers 10% (forever)</li><li>Founders 10% (3 yrs)</li><li>Builder 5% (forever)</li></ul>![](https://i.imgur.com/YVzzdBZ.png)A new Noun 401 open edition&nbsp;will replace our original limited edition of 1000 and we’ve given special consideration to our OG minters. After the presale and public sale, they will be airdropped new editions to maintain their original % of supply, or 2 for 1, whichever is greater.Presale:<ul><li>3 days (planned for 10 Mar - 13 Mar)</li><li>Allowlist (<a href="https://zora.co/collections/0xbe6c6af458b33aab6b6cc38a7ae35d1e3a9b1f69" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OG</a> minters, <a href="https://zora.co/collections/0xb7871e00bc4596941e22433e576149bf432a9f4c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Poster</a> minters, Builders)</li><li>0.073 ETH</li></ul>Public sale:<ul><li>5 days (planned for 13 Mar - 18 Mar)</li><li>0.08 ETH</li></ul>Airdrop:<ul><li>OG minters 2 for 1, or original % of supply (whichever is greater)</li><li>Builder DAO token holders (equal to 5% of total supply)</li><li>Poster and twitter giveaways (allocation of 5 in total)</li></ul>Recipients of mint proceeds:<ul><li>Founders 90% (profits seed Omega DAO treasury)</li><li>Builder 5% (<a href="https://app.0xsplits.xyz/accounts/0x6B519d5Eaea3CFA72917F4A5a5754612c109A508/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">via 0xSplits</a> after Zora fee)</li><li>Zora 5% (fee)</li></ul>	ℹ️ In case of any delays, we decided against making this proposal a "droposal."60 ETH in retroactive funding&nbsp;helps us cover the costs of building the Omega hyperstructure, creating the Forgeries game and frontend, developing a factory interface to the protocol, and for auditing the codebase.<ul><li>Omega hyperstructure - 18 ETH</li><li>Forgeries game and frontend - 10 ETH</li><li>Protocol factory interface - 6 ETH</li><li>Code4rena public audits - 26 ETH</li></ul>Builders&nbsp;benefit from the Omega DAO token allocation (5% forever), open edition NFT revenue (5% of proceeds), and an airdrop of Forgeries editions (5% of supply). The 95.32 ETH spent acquiring Noun 401 will be recovered from mint proceeds and anything over that amount will be used to seed our treasury in support of people interested in building on the protocol.Our vision&nbsp;is a multiplayer future for crypto and we firmly believe NFTs are the building blocks. By providing public goods infrastructure to the community we can empower developers, artists, collectors, projects and DAOs to unlock a new design space for creative onchain experiences. Shortly after the execution of this proposal, we will have a UI available at&nbsp;<a href="https://omega.build/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(41, 101, 168);">omega.build</a>&nbsp;to interface seamlessly with our protocol, so anyone, include Builder DAO itself, can deploy their own Omega contracts. Here are a few examples to inspire some ideas in the meantime:<ul><li>Developers&nbsp;could create their own onchain gaming experiences, leveraging the fair and trustless raffle drawing protocol to offer exciting and transparent gameplay to their users. They can also use the open and free architecture of the Omega protocol to build innovative games that can be easily integrated with existing NFT collections.</li><li>Artists&nbsp;could showcase and monetize their creations, by raffling off their NFT artworks and engaging with their audiences through onchain games. They can also leverage the hyperstructure design of the Omega protocol to create unique gaming experiences that incorporate their own artistic vision.</li><li>Collectors&nbsp;could win high-value NFTs through exciting and transparent onchain games. They can also provide liquidity to the platform by offering their NFT collections as entry tickets for other players.</li><li>DAOs&nbsp;could deploy raffles in a single proposal transaction, offering an easy and convenient way to engage their communities and distribute their high-value tokens.</li></ul>We want to keep building on top of Omega and deploy new games with the Builder DAO community. For new releases, we are considering more fun ways to engage collectors and participants with games incorporating unique auction mechanics, tournaments like Squid Game, and so on. Here are some of the benefits of the Omega protocol:<ul><li>Fairness and trustlessness:&nbsp;The Omega protocol is designed to be a fair and trustless platform, as it employs a raffle drawing protocol that uses Chainlink VRF to ensure verifiable randomness. This means that all participants have an equal chance of winning, and the results are transparent and auditable.</li><li>Open and free:&nbsp;The Omega protocol is open and free, meaning that anyone can use it at no cost. This makes it easy for developers to create innovative games and for artists to monetize their creations.</li><li>Hyperstructure:&nbsp;The Omega protocol is designed as a hyperstructure, providing a platform for builders to create and innovate, for artists to showcase and monetize their creations, and for collectors to win high-value NFTs or provide liquidity. This makes it possible to create a variety of onchain games, each with their own unique features and gameplay mechanics.</li><li>Onboarding opportunities:&nbsp;The Omega protocol offers exciting new onboarding opportunities, as any new or existing NFT collection can be referenced as entry tickets. This means that players can use their existing NFT collections as entry tickets for onchain games, making it easy for players to get involved and start winning.</li><li>DAO governance:&nbsp;The Omega protocol is governed by a nounish DAO, providing a community-driven approach to managing the protocol. This ensures that the platform is transparent, fair, and accountable, and that the interests of all participants are represented.</li></ul>Thank you Builders&nbsp;for your time taken to consider our proposal and to vote.Gami, Emre, Iain and Jordan.⌐◨-◨
