Requesting 1 eth per month (for 6 months) to work full-time for Nouns DAO for the rest of the year — across Latin America - hosting IRL activations and workshops, onboarding artists and patrons across LATAM, creating Nounish art, traits, animations and media to get people excited about what we are doing here. And 4 ETH to make Feria Gráfica Nounish II.
I'm Nadie live in Cali, Colombia —a place where Web3 and crypto still carry a lot of stigma. For most people here, the space is either misunderstood or seen as exploitative. The local art scene isn’t immune to that skepticism either, and for good reason: there’s been a lack of real, positive references on the ground.
That’s why, for the past few years, we’ve been trying to shift that perception —through small public activations, talks, and events as a community of artists under the name Enefty, showing that crypto can create opportunities, not just speculation or scammy projects.
Organizing the Feria Gráfica Nounish (funded by Nouns Amigos) last December was a major milestone. It positioned me as a trustworthy figure in this space —someone who brings real value and opens doors for other artists. That momentum has shown me this is a real opportunity: to become a positive cultural reference for Web3 in my region, and to create safe, well-supported spaces where artists can approach this world without pressure, fear, or misinformation.
This proposal is not about rigid deliverables. It’s an opportunity to keep producing value through art under the Nounish brand —an ongoing, exploratory practice rooted in my artistic vision and connection with the community. Being officially supported by the DAO would allow me to continue acting as a cultural and artistic ambassador for Nouns —with focus, consistency, and visibility - this will be my full-time job.
This is a flexible, high-output art-focused stream that includes (but is not limited to):
I’ll continue organizing IRL events in Colombia —public art interventions, workshops, talks, drawing clubs, or creative sessions focused on onboarding and visibility and will attend at least the following events:
I’ll create and share Spanish-language content whenever I go, whatever is a drawing club or an international event
I’ll keep Nouns visible and active through regular visual content —including pixel art, illustrations, and animations— following the rhythm of Noun o’ Clock and similar formats.
I’m committing to at least 2 art drops per week, even while managing IRL onboarding and event planning. The idea is to maintain a consistent and engaging presence on Farcaster and X.
Each month, I’ll work with different artists —from the Nouns community or local Latin creatives— through paid collaborations or open briefs. Results can include murals, merch, or digital pieces.
I’ll also do my best to encourage new artists to share their work publicly on platforms like Farcaster and X, tagging the DAO and joining the ongoing conversation.
Whenever possible, I’ll guide and support those who are interested in getting more involved —helping them connect with the Discord Channels, explore available funding opportunities, and understand how they can contribute meaningfully to the ecosystem. Especially the Nouns Amigos Discord and Duna Admin Discord, helping new artists and creatives get familiar with how proposals, voting, and contribution opportunities work.
As a spanish-speaker who already navigates these spaces and speaks both the artistic and Web3 language, I see it as part of my role to accompany new voices in finding their way into the Nouns universe —through the channels they feel most comfortable in, and through the activities I’ll be proposing along the way.
Over the past year, I’ve consistently contributed to Nouns through art, animation, organizing, and cultural exploration:
Please feel free to visit my miro board to check my work
On December 14, 2024, I organized a Nouns-branded graphic fair in Cali, Colombia, funded by Nouns Amigos (2.5 ETH), hosted at a cultural house downtown.
250+ attendees
35 local artists created Nounish artworks
Workshops, zines, stickers, interactive activities
Noun 1384 was bought by a friend 15 January after working with me in the graphic pieces for the fair
A 3-meter-wide wooden Noggle installation, intervened live by attendees
This event positioned me as a cultural organizer in the local scene. It gave visibility to the Nouns identity in a physical, public way and helped me build lasting relationships with artists and spaces in the city.
We’ve also organized 4 public activations in different public spaces in Cali, using our 3-meter-wide wooden Nouns glasses as a visual anchor. These interventions have involved local artists who were invited to paint, illustrate, and interact with the installation —making Nouns physically present in the public sphere and engaging new audiences in creative, unexpected ways.
I don’t want to lose that momentum.
These 6 months of work will be key to:
Expanding Nounish culture in Cali, Colombia
October 18, 19
Cali, Colombia
This year’s theme is inspired by Halloween, with activities centered around costumes and spooky visual culture.
A two-day cultural and graphic fair celebrating art, design, and local creativity inspired by the Nouns universe.
This is the second edition of the Nounish Graphic Fair. With the first one we created a physical space for people to learn about onchain culture, Web3 tools, and permissionless creativity.
This second edition will be even bigger, with a strong community-building and onboarding component. It includes artist showcases, live painting, tattoos, music, workshops, and an open market of Nounish-inspired products.
As part of our open call, we’ll allocate $2,500 in microgrants to support selected artists in two key areas: workshop facilitation and Nounish-inspired merch production.
These grants aim to remove barriers for artists to participate meaningfully, whether they’re making artoys, zines, clothing, stickers, or exploring other formats. We'll offer not only financial support but also guidance throughout the production process.
This approach expands beyond last year’s sticker-only model, welcoming a broader range of creators — from illustrators to tattooers, toy designers, and makers — and reinforces our commitment to a fair that truly reflects the diversity of Nounish creativity.

Why this matters
Cali lacks accessible and positive references for crypto. The Nounish Graphic Fair creates a public, celebratory, and safe space for artists and audiences to explore these ideas together.
As an artist and organizer from Colombia, I've spent years trying to make Web3 visible through small events, talks, and cultural bridges. Base has made this easier by lowering the barrier to entry. Nouns helped me prove that crypto can be inclusive and joyful.
This is the kind of energy I want to keep pushing forward — and this fair is how we do it.
This proposal isn’t about personal profit. I’m not seeking financial return —I’m seeking a position within the local community of artists as a Nouns cultural organizer, a local bridge builder, and a benefactor for emerging artists.
The fair is free for artists to participate. We’re not charging for tables or expecting them to sell a minimum. This is about creating a healthy, creative, Web3-friendly space —especially in a place where crypto is often misunderstood.
If we manage to generate substantial revenue from Nounish merch produced by us as organizers, 100% of those profits will be returned to the DAO.
