Episode notes

I think my biggest shift in the last little while has been to move from this place where I felt like it was actually a very constrained model. So I want to dive into some of the expansive opportunities that you see within nouns. And then also back to all this within, like, memetic value being a thing and this being a pretty clear tie into that. But I think one take is that, you know, if you're looking at a nouns down model, you're really baking in some really core pieces that might in some cases feel like you're actually giving up a lot of that optionality.

Nouns DAOs are having a moment in the spotlight, with Jacob Horne —founder of Zora — as one of the more prominent evangelists. In this conversation, Jess and Jacob discuss a core question: Why are ERC721 tokens (NFTs) a more compelling form of ownership than ERC20s? They explore the connection between Nouns DAOs and hyperstructures, and a compelling take that forkability is additive to the ecosystem as a whole. Nouns DAOs enable localized nodes of functionality, thereby increasing optionality and infinite possibilities for proliferating a community meme. Communities exist, communities want to do things together, and they need a medium to do that — the Nouns model provides the tools to do exactly that.
