This section answers frequently asked questions about participating in Builder DAOs, navigating governance, and working with the protocol on a technical level. If you're unsure where to start or stuck on a detail, you're in the right place.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 DAO Participation

“How do I join a DAO?”

To join a Builder DAO, you typically acquire one of its governance tokens. These are distributed through auctions or can sometimes be purchased on secondary markets (e.g., OpenSea or Zora).

Ways to join:

1. Participate in a live token auction on nouns.build.
2. Buy a token from a previous winner via a marketplace.
3. Engage without owning a token by contributing to discussions, helping with proposals, or participating in grants and bounties.

Ownership isn't required to be part of the community—many DAOs welcome contributors of all kinds.

“What happens if I win an auction?”

If you win a DAO auction:

• You receive a governance token (usually an NFT) minted directly to your wallet.
• You gain the ability to vote on proposals and shape the future of the DAO.
• You become part of the DAO’s onchain record of contributors.

Your funds (ETH or other accepted tokens) go directly to the DAO treasury to support community initiatives.
