WTF
Greeting Nouns is an experimental attempt to encourage the celebration of life’s most important moments using Nounish NFTs. OG Nouns, Lil Nouns, Synthetic Nouns and most NFT projects are designed to be collected. Greeting Nouns are designed to be gifted and used for celebration, expression and communication.

Design
The design will follow the Nouns.wtf guidelines. They will feel like the missing “Occasion Nouns”. The layout will fall somewhere between Nouns and Lil Nouns (Medium Nouns if you will) to make room for optional messages (most greeting cards have messages).
Timeline
Concept, design, and development will take us < 2 weeks.
- Week 0 (7/18) Define concept, prototype and get feedback
- Week 1 (7/25) Design assets in figma and get feedback

How Greetings Proliferate Nouns?
- Greeting Nouns associate Nouns to the most special moments in our lives including birthdays, weddings, new babies, congratulations, holidays and more.
- Greeting Nouns expand the Nouns community by making it easy for users to send Nouns to friends and family who may or may not be aware of the Nouns community.
- Greeting Nouns expand the Web3 community as a whole by making it easy for users to send to non-Web3 users via phone or email on Maindrop.
