My favorite NFT project? Nouns.
It’s a decentralized collective, a grasroots brand, a software movement, and an open public art series all wrapped in one. They’re also a big backer of public goods and privacy efforts in crypto, so long story short, it’s a tribe I love and have long planned to join.
To join today though, the going rate for a Noun is currently ~5-6 ETH, and that’s a nice chunk of gwei to pay all at once.
That’s why I’m personally stoked about the possibility of $NOUNS, an ERC-20 token being considered by the 
Nouns community that you could stack up over time until ready to redeem for a full NFT and your spot in the DAO.
It’s up in the air right now, but let’s break down what we know about the tentative $NOUNS token so far! 👇

Nouns Camp is a Nouns DAO governance client.
In other words, the platform's a streamlined frontend for analyzing and participating in Nouns votes. Two things I love about it:
- It makes it easy to surface voteWithReasons (VWRs), i.e. onchain text explanations of "For" or "Against" votes on Nouns proposals, which is awesome when you're trying to make sense of ongoing Nouns governance matters.
- It makes it easy to post VWRs even if you don't hold a Noun—if so, you won't have official voting power, but it's a great straightforward way to get involved with the DAO and help build up your onchain resume.
All that said, if you're interested in diving deeper into the world of Nouns, Nouns Camp is a platform you'll want to start leaning on more!
