Small Grants: Nouns Interactive Community Map

Goal

Scale Nouners in real-life community meet-ups.

Context

Nouns is formed in an attempt to improve the formation of on-chain avatar communities that impacts positively through funding ideas and fostering collaboration. There’s no better way to solidify and enhance this purpose than through in real-life events. As people gather around and have conversations, meaningful connections are formed and their creative potential is unleashed.

We propose the development of an interactive map with token gated access for Nouns and its derivatives. After onboarding, Nouners will be able to chat, share media and interests/ identity on-chain. They will also be able to connect in real life either through organising or finding meet-ups by leveraging on features such as public event discovery, conference portals, fun event planning tools, automated email marketing and social check-in and rewards.

How it will Proliferate Nouns (Examples & Visuals)

Taking Chimpers (an art and lore-based NFT collection consisting of 5,555 pixelated chimp avatars and 100-NFT Genesis Chimpers with 18k ETH worth of partnerships with Paramount & Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles) as an example, we helped them 45x their community meet-ups in just a month — from 2 meet-ups in 10 months, to 9 meet-ups in a month.

How it could potentially look for Nouns
