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 - **After a low turnout at our last product session (1 person joined for ~5 minutes), we want to ensure that the next session is actually needed and desired by the community.

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. - **Website/auctions**: [http://www.nounsdaoafrica.wtf/](http://www.nounsdaoafrica.wtf/) - **X**: [https://x.com/nounsDAOAfrica](https://twitter.com/nounsDAOAfrica) - **Discord**: [https://discord.gg/YjetBmXqz9](https://discord.gg/YjetBmXqz9) ## In Other Nouns [**Volky on Farcaster** devs PSA: @nouns/sdk v1.0.0 now includes wagmi bindings (react + VanillaJs) for all the main contracts https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nouns/sdk Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/volky.eth/0x3cdde4e9) [**Shei on Farcaster** 1/ OneSafe.io/web3 just set up the first known neobank account under Wyoming’s DAO-friendly DUNA structure for /nouns with help from @ethsign Now, Nouns can: ✅ Send fiat ✅ Off-ramp crypto ✅ Pay bills with a card ✅ Operate like any real-world company Here’s how it went down👇 https://OneSafe.io/web3 Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/0xshei/0xedf4064a) [**jp.⌐◨-◨ on Farcaster** Remember when you arrived in a city for the first time and wanted to see if there were nounish folks around?
