The nouns.build platform is the primary frontend interface for launching, discovering, and managing Builder DAOs. It abstracts complex smart contract interactions into a clean and user-friendly experience, allowing individuals and communities to create and participate in DAOs without needing to write code.

Platform Overview

What It Does

The platform serves as:

• A DAO launcher: Create a fully onchain DAO in minutes.
• A management dashboard: Interact with proposals, token auctions, and treasury funds.
• A discovery tool: Browse and learn from other DAOs in the ecosystem.

Everything that happens through the platform is executed onchain, making governance actions transparent and verifiable.

Hosted vs. Self-Hosted Options

There are two ways to interact with the protocol:

1. Hosted (via nouns.build)

• Fast and convenient: No deployment or server required.
• Managed frontend: All the logic is handled for you.
• Recommended for most users: Ideal for creators and communities launching their first DAO.

2. Self-Hosted

• Customizable: Modify branding, layout, or logic.
• Requires development skills: You’ll need to fork the open-source code and deploy it yourself.
