About Nouns

Animated GIF

Nouns is a community-owned brand and decentralized organization (DAO) with a simple goal: fund great ideas and build a better future—using blockchain, not bureaucracy.

Each Noun grants governance power—one Noun equals one vote in the Nouns DAO.

This structure gives individuals and communities the ability to directly shape how the DAO’s treasury is used: funding projects, backing builders, and growing culture from the ground up.


What Makes a Noun Special?


  • Daily Auction

    One new Noun is created and auctioned every 24 hours, forever.
