Full Speed Ahead

At Builder DAO, we've been staying focused on the essential work that keeps the protocol running - maintaining administration, managing contributor coordination, addressing community issues and bugs, and supporting the core technical infrastructure behind the scenes. While most of what we do isn’t flashy, it’s the foundation that enables dozens of communities to build, govern, and grow onchain with confidence. With that said, we’re excited to dig into this month’s community updates!

Builder Tech Pod Updates

In this Tech Pod update, we share our progress on long-awaited features like treasury support for tokens and NFTs, clearer UX for delegations, and a major overhaul of our documentation to better serve both new users and contributors. We’ve also rolled out smoother third-party integrations (Wallet Connect proposals), bug fixes, and various UX enhancements. All thanks to your ongoing community feedback. While turnout at our last product session was low, we’ve received constructive and insightful feedback from individual community members. This led us to prioritise legacy support for Droposals and gave us insight to desired use cases for Nouns Builder today and in the future. With our first residency coming to an end and so much more features in the backlog, we are excited to share that we would like to re-run. We’re currently working on a proposal to renew our residency and are keen to get the roadmap for the next months straight.

What to watch out for

Introduction of Tokens and NFTs for the treasury

Allowing users to view and send non-native assets from their DAO's treasury was a much desired features, which is now available on production and staging. If you're facing issues with the functionality, let us know!

New Proposal Types

You can now connect to and interact with third party apps as a DAO, using Wallet Connect. We also made the sending of NFTs and tokens explicit through the introduction of the respective proposal templates.

Documentation Overhaul

We just published a significant overhaul of the existing documentation. The documentation was regrouped into an onboarding guide for new users, a user guide, and a contributor guide. We also incorporated Satori's Knowledge Base, and added links and references to improve navigation in the Nouns Builder ecosystem. Please share your feedback and documentation requests!

Built on Builder

This week's featured DAO built on Builder is Nouns DAO Africa! Nouns DAO Africa is an initiative created to connect the Nouns ecosystem with Africa, bringing builders from different cultural backgrounds together to work on public goods that promote positive change across the continent. With a permissionless approach, Nouns DAO Africa encourages its members to organize, build, and fund projects that bring Nounish Public Goods to Africa. Daily NFT auctions on Base support these actions, with all proceeds going to the treasury for governance by token holders.

Remember when you arrived in a city for the first time and wanted to see if there were nounish folks around? That’s why nounspot.com is for builders too. If you register as a “people” instead of a “place” or “thing” 👇

  1. You’ll only show the city, not a full address, for safety reasons

  2. You’ll get a “get in touch” button instead of “get directions,” so you can say hi

  3. You’ll appear green on the map

Add the Mini App and put yourself on the map! https://imagedelivery.net/BXluQx4ige9GuW0Ia56BHw/72dd9113-555b-49c5-a5c2-3da7da083a00/original https://nounspot.com
