I had never heard of Edge before reading this proposal, but it seems immediately clear that this is exactly the kind of community we should be actively courting as participants in Nouns. These are gatherings of curious, creative, and forward-thinking people, exactly the type of environment where Nouns can show up in surprising and meaningful ways. It’s a yes from me.

The people who can afford to take a month off from work, pay the $3k admission & travel to Edge Esmeralda I would assume may also have the discretionary funds to also pay for wellness treatments outside of the event..... I think we could have an outsided positive impact on the world if we focused on Wellness for people who do not have the means to pay for it themselves. ⌐◨-◨

Against - Wins FOR - 5 VOTES AGAINST - 24 VOTES georgie_variety | While I like this idea and the audience is a great fit I can’t see how the deliverables would be in place with the event commencing so soon chriscocreated | "Basically we’re sponsoring an event. Wellness doesn’t feel particularly nounish to me (I’m very into wellbeing fwiw) I’m not convinced the roi is there" ABSTAINS - 7 VOTES

After reading through this prop, what the goal of Esmeralda is, and what edge city is I believe this is a great opportunity for Nouns. It is clear from the topics being hosted at the event that participants want to help their communities using innovative ideas and build a better future. I'm incredibly for the building of walkable holistic towns which is one of Esmeralda's end goals.

Having Nouns be involved with the wellness aspect exposes Nouns to these builders in a friendly and positive environment. Capturing a fraction of the people that have the drive to learn, build, and experiment with new models would be greatly beneficial to Nouns.

If this comes to pass, I strongly encourage a blog of updates related to this prop whether that be propdates.wtf or similar. It was difficult to see what the outcomes of Prop #620 was which may have hurt this prop's success.

Maybe in the future I can give a talk on Stormwater Infrastructure or Low-Impact-Design. GL!

Health and wellness are the bedrock of a thriving life, yet crypto degens routinely neglect both in pursuit of profits which is why I’m skeptical of a one-month wellness initiative. If the goal is lasting impact, we need more than a short-term challenge; we need sustainable structures like recurring fitness incentives with on-chain rewards, mental health resources shaped by community input, and DAO-funded wellness grants that outlive hype cycles. A month might raise awareness, but real change requires long-term commitment

For the idea less so on this current execution

I'm generally FOR this proposal. From other projects I'm working on, I'm well aware of the momentum in the "Thought leader x Wellness" space.

The partnership presented isn't quite there yet though – It would be great if you could dig deeper into "How to integrate Nouns".

Nouns is born from Art and Code on Ethereum.

Since coding as an activity is pretty far outside the wellness category, I'd suggest leaning into "Art" as a key pillar to integrate Nouns throughout – e.g. in Mindfulness Sessions and in the Nouns Wellness Day. Perhaps also think of a ritual within that realm to conclude the workouts and sessions.

And, given that there will be a lot of people meeting and cultivating their wellness rituals together, it would be worth while thinking about a smaller "Nouns Wellnes Track" which you could bring on a roadshow as a side event at 3-5 industry conferences 12 months after this year's happening. Cities and places where you're anticipating a high turn out of Edge Esmeralda participants, and create a place for them to reconnect with their peers, friends, the spirit of Edge Esmeralda - and, Nouns ⌐◨-◨

I'm open to support if that would be helpful.

while i dig integrating nouns into wellness culture—saunas & ice baths do vibe with our quirky ethos—the concrete returns here feel light for 30k USDC... three new noun holders? ten active governance participants? doesn't scream ecosystem acceleration compared to funding dev tooling or mini app experiments where every dollar scales permissionlessly...

Even though I appreciate Edge City for participating in governance and the proposal does seem well-intentioned, it simply doesn't excite me enough to vote FOR. I’d suggest brainstorming how Nouns could make this experience more unique.

I've attended both Edge Esmeralda and Edge City Lanna and I can confirm that the community is extremely Nounish. The events are at the intersection of EF folks, public goods folks, and deep tech researchers. It's an excellent community to build more outreach to. I will be attending this year as well and will do my best to evangelize Nouns :)
