[Truth Terminal](https://x.com/truth_terminal), an AI bot funded by Andreesen Horowitz, didn’t create $GOAT on Solana, but it did [endorse the memecoin](https://x.com/AndyAyrey/status/1845320110002798963), prompting the token to surge to a [+$150 million market cap](https://x.com/AISafetyMemes/status/1846220545542529329) over the next few days.  
- 👾 **GAM3S Awards near**. Crypto gaming hub GAM3S [announced the finalists](https://x.com/GAM3Sgg_/status/1846227278608404849) for its 2024 GAM3 Awards, featuring 50 shortlisted games across 21 categories and with $5 million in prizes up for grabs. 
- 🚀 **Flaunch readies for launch**. [Flaunch](https://x.com/flaunchgg/status/1846271949489820034), a new token launcher platform built atop Base and Uniswap V4, has moved closer to release by opening its [beta test waitlist](https://x.com/flaunchgg/status/1846271953780314499).

For example, the group has backed a float in the Rose Bowl Parade, free prescription glasses for kids, and research + conservation efforts around a new species of frog. 

What many people in crypto don’t realize though is that Nouns also has its own competitive gaming arm: Nouns Esports.
