What is Builder DAO?

Builder DAO is a decentralized community that governs the Nouns Builder protocol and funds initiatives to grow the ecosystem of Builder DAOs. It operates using onchain governance mechanisms that enable transparent decision-making, open participation, and shared ownership.

Builder DAO is made up of token holders who create, discuss, and vote on proposals to determine how resources are allocated and how the protocol evolves. It serves as both the steward of the protocol and a coordination hub for communities building with it.

What is the Nouns Builder Protocol?

The Nouns Builder Protocol is an open-source smart contract framework that allows anyone to create a DAO with its own token, auction mechanism, and onchain governance system—just like Nouns DAO.

Key features of the protocol include:

• Automated Token Auctions: New tokens are minted and auctioned on a recurring schedule, distributing ownership transparently.
• Onchain Proposals: Any token holder can create proposals that DAO members vote on.
• Treasury Management: Funds raised from auctions go directly to the DAO treasury for community allocation.

The protocol is modular, permissionless, and extensible, making it a powerful tool for builders who want to create new forms of onchain communities.
