In the ever-evolving world of esports, Nouns.GG Rounds shine as a model of collective decision-making, inspired by the innovative principles and ethos of NounsDAO. The primary goal of Rounds is to empower individuals passionate about esports by transforming them into active participants in shaping the future of Nouns Esports.
Initially, Nouns Esports utilized Prop House to host funding rounds for players, artists, and tournament organizers. However, the requirement of a crypto wallet and NFTs for voting proved to be a barrier for many in our community, limiting fan engagement in team governance.
On May 13, lead developer Seneca announced that Prop House would be sunset. Luckily, we had already started building our own version. Nouns.GG, once a standard esports team website, is now rapidly evolving into a daily destination for gamers.
Through Rounds, we extend opportunities far beyond our primary roster of players and teams. We have successfully run a variety of rounds, each designed to uplift and empower our community.
Some examples include:
-
Providing travel grants to players to attend events
-
Supporting tournament organizers through sponsorships
-
Hosting art contests
-
Selecting one fan to join us at the International as a content creator
The journey on Nouns.GG begins at the Explorer rank, granting new users one vote per round. As users demonstrate their dedication by participating in three rounds within a month, they ascend to the Challenger rank, earning three votes per round. The top rank, Champion, is reserved for those who connect their Discord, Twitter, Farcaster, and crypto wallet, and who actively vote in Rounds.
While encouraging our audience to adopt Farcaster (a crypto-based Twitter) and create crypto wallets once posed a significant challenge, the promise of additional votes has ignited the curiosity of our most passionate supporters, guiding them to these platforms organically.
The true power of Rounds lies in their ability to not only realize individual dreams but also to mobilize friends and followers, transforming dreams into reality through collective effort.
In conclusion, Rounds on Nouns GG have revolutionized the way we provide funding opportunities within our community. By fostering a participatory environment, we empower our audience to actively shape the destiny of Nouns Esports.
