That's it, we have to stop calling Nouns a DAO. Makes no sense to be in the same category as protocol DAOs (eg ENS), service DAOs (eg Vector) or investment DAOs (eg Moloch). Nouns remains a category of one, for now. https://x.com/eladmallel/status/1707874933143928984?s=46&t=yeVCQbYaKXCy5LPHR5y__g
Yeah I think the "organization" framing lends itself to certain assumptions that run counter to how Nouns operates in reality
aspirationally nouns aims to be like ethereum, a world of its own. the dao (now we have two daos for that matter) is simply a funding body in that world, primarily focused on funding public goods.
When helping to start ENERGY I pushed hard to not call it a DAO, everyone brings their own baggage to that term. We went with: “ENERGY is a creative grants collective. We fund creative arts and engineering projects on Zora Network.”
Ironically Nouns is one of the few projects that should call itself a DAO. But I agree the word is devoid of any meaning at this point
