The Nouns Project undergoes a fork to return funds to participants

The Nouns Project, a generative art project, has undergone a fork, allowing participants to redeem their Nouns for the ETH in the project's treasury. Half of the Noun holders opted to fork, transferring their Nouns to the project's treasury and receiving the corresponding ETH in return. The decision came after Noun prices in secondary markets dropped below the estimated value of the ETH in the treasury. The community hopes that the fork will lead to a more unified and focused project moving forward.
