News and Updates

NounGnarversary Prop House Round

Last call to get your votes in for the NounGnarversary Prop House Round! With so many great submissions, please take your time reading through them all before voting, but don’t procrastinate! Voting ends at 9:00pm EST tonight (1:00am UTC) which is just over 7 hours from now. There is also a temporary forum in the discord for the discussion of each proposal if you have any questions. Can’t wait to see the results and all of the awesome events next month, good luck to all!

Frontend and Protocol Updates

Gnars is now a fully-fledged Nounish DAO! We have migrated 70% of the treasury to an onchain DAO executor with the other 30% and Gnars NFTs for onboarding remaining in our multisig. Onchain proposals will be automatically executed and can be found at gnars.wtf/dao. Offchain proposals will continue to utilize the Snapshot space that we have been using to date. The final front-end updates have also been rolled out! Check out Gami’s twitter thread here for more details on what those changes included. And of course a huge thank you to Volky for his incredibly thoughtful work on all of these updates.

That’s Gnarly Updates

That’s Gnarly now has communities! Check out the banner across the top and select a community to see their unique page. Each community also has its own treasury and initiatives! Other updates include the ability to translate the website into portugues or spanish, options for creators to select thumbnails, delete posts, more customizable profiles, and the addition of social links.

Gnars are a new way to fund extreme athletes

We prefer a world where kids aren't sold energy drinks by their heroes. So as a community of action sports enthusiasts, we've formed a DAO to rethink how extreme athletes get sponsored.

Gnars are NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain

Based on Nouns open source and CC0 artwork, they're stored fully on-chain with no external dependencies. Each one gets you a DAO vote and memberships are available at auction, forever.

Gnars are dedicated to supporting the artistry of extreme athletes
