The DAO model has been around for a year, but I'm going to use it in non-traditional ways. One of the features I see that you're really intrigued by is this idea of these nouns, DAO structures being able to issue other additions or other tokens. So there's a couple directions I've seen you playing with on the internet recently around uses of these models in maybe non- traditional ways.

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.
