I am working on something and would love your feedback. The Nouns ecosystem has been nothing short of inspiring with such strong execution and clarity in messaging. CC0, and crypto-native composability, is not just a concept I want to see succeed, but an idea I’d like to play a role in helping succeed.
Below is a project that combines boobs, charity, mimetics and community-created art.

NFTitties (.)(.)
Community created NFTitties, daily; a Nouns-fork.
Project Details
Everyday a new depiction of boobs is auctioned
The NFTitties are created by artists and submitted along with Q&A for rarity
All submissions follow visual guidelines to develop a cohesive aesthetic
Proceeds split between the breast cancer not-for-profit, artist, project and community treasury
There are two ways to participate (both offer private community access):
Create and submit artwork
Bid and join community
Core values
Free the nipple (ethereum has no nudity policy!)
Supporting women (16% of NFT creators are female!)
Contribute to crypto not-for-profit ecosystem
Onboarding (allowing all to create an NFT of their art!)

I have a one two-part question and two one-part questions:
Is this perpetual (like nouns)?
If so, does that mean there will be a constant need to bring in artists to submit works? I guess since it says you’ll have 1,000 submissions before launch then if you achieve this you end up with a 3 year runway?
How does the artwork get from submitted to minted? Does the DAO vote? Is there a panel or selection process?
I feel out of the loop on this one, can you explain further?
The project is currently planned to last a year! Theoretically with 1,000 submissions we would have ample amounts of art to choose from for the project. As for the selection process, in the beginning the selections will be curated by an in-house curatorial committee but the plan is to find ways to involve the community as the project goes on. Finally, NFTitties is advocating again unfair nudity policies that exist in Web2 social media platforms today like Instagram.
Very cool idea, I believe it could be a big success and achieve the goals set out for the project.
Only question I really have is in relation to the distribution of proceeds, see quote for context.
My question is what % distribution will the project be following?
Additionally, when you say ‘project’ is that a treasury pool put aside for future costs and investments in NFTitties? Or is that going out as compensation for the contributors within the team?
And when you say ‘community treasury’ is that the Nouns DAO community treasury or is that the NFTitties community treasury?
If both of those answers are NFTitties treasury pool, what’s the intentions with these funds?
Hi Teelon! So nice to hear that you think the idea could be successful and thank you for your question. I am Carlota, the founder of NFTitties! We have tried to be as equitable as possible in our distribution of proceeds. Here is the breakdown of the funds from each NFT sold and what each relates to:
30% for the artist - NFTitties is a participatory art project encouraging anyone to contribute images to support our cause. 30% of the proceeds of each sale goes to the artist of that image.
30% for charity - 30% of the proceeds from each NFT will go directly in raising funds and awareness to fight breast cancer. We are about to finalise an agreement with a charity partner and I hope to share this news soon.
30% for the project - this amount will be used pay back all the costs related to the project as well as compensate the founding team. Costs may include rewarding team members of the project and to the ongoing operation of an in-house daily auction website among other ongoing costs.
10% for the community treasury - this will be held in a treasury to be used exclusively by the community of NFTitties holders. In a similar fashion to Nouns, those who hold NFTitties will be able to submit proposals for the use of the community treasury funds. Other NFTitties holders will then be able to vote on whether or not the proposal(s) go ahead.
Finally, it is worth noting that we will be withholding every 10th NFTitty from auction and gifting them to the most active members of our community. Again, inspired by Nouns!
