gm frens, I’m one of the nouns enthusiasts in ATX DAO, and personally think ATX Nouns would be extremely nounish.
Not only are the tools, brand, and ecosystem that Nouns cultivates an excellent fit for ATX DAO’s needs, but I cannot imagine a better community than ATX DAO to spread Nouns throughout the weird city of Austin, the great state of Texas, and beyond.
Currently we’re in the process of creating the artwork. brainstorming what the optimal ATX Nouns fork would look like, and preparing a proposal to ATX DAO to get final feedback from the community and ratify the migration.
Through this process, we came up with a novel method of dynamically adjusting the auction duration based on the sale price and duration of the previous auction. When the sale price closes above the target, that shows that demand is high, and the duration of the next auction is decreased. On the flip side, if the sale price closes below target, demand is low, and the duration of the next auction is increased.
We’re still exploring this model, but have received encouraging feedback so far, and I’m personally pretty excited about the possibility of ATX Nouns developing and piloting this experiment. If all goes well, it would offer a new option that could open the doors for new types of nouns forks that we haven’t even imagined.
There’s more info in this prop.house proposal, and I would love to hear any/all feedback from Nouners!
