I understand that this timeline is incredibly compressed - for everyone. For you, the voter and for us to produce the event. However with this team I am confident that we will not have to sacrifice quality of the IRL experience and can position Nouns at the heart of Ethereum.
At this point in time, when you're reading this proposal, the team is already in production mode:
Please reach out if you have any concerns, questions or input. Also, if you want to help curate art from the community, please reach out.
Thanks so much - I really hope we can make this happen.

Haus of Nouns is a creative, in-person experience that blends Ethereum culture with art, games, and community started by Benjamin Latsko. The past edition was focused on live art and interactive spaces, but this one will be different.
This time, it will be bigger and feature live demos of Ethereum applications in collaboration with Jason Chaskin.
This is a new iteration of Haus of Nouns: World of Apps ⌐◨-◨
On August 14, we’ll have Ethereum App demos, artists live painting, creative spaces for people to explore Nouns and gaming stations. A space curated to host up to 100 people with the goal to make Ethereum fun and cultural again, and bring that spirit to life.
Benjamin will curate and produce the overall event experience - including the art installations with artworks from past seasons and events, layout, vibe, and community elements.
Ethereum app demos will be handpicked by Jason Chaskin. Jason is the new App Relations and Research lead at the Ethereum Foundation. EF has signalled support with a $5k USD grant.
Jason will curate a mix of:
Confirmed App Demos from:
Given the short timeline, we are reaching out to more teams. An updated list will be shared accordingly.
For this event we will mainly lean into our existing artists network in NYC.
Artists in Residence will be:
Gossamer Rozen
Gossamer will be commissioned to make a 1-1 garment with a bespoke artwork. At the event we will display her artwork and she will bring her knitting machine to make another 1-1 garment on-site during the event.
Vinnie Hager
Vinnie will join us to live paint and customize your favorite nounish products. https://x.com/VinnieHager
Alyssa Stevens
Alyssa will live paint at the event and invite visitors to join her in making a larger scale artwork together.
Note:
Ethereum NYC (August 11–17, 2025) is a key moment. With World of Apps ⌐◨-◨ we put Nouns at the heart of the happening. This is the inaugural Ethereum event week in New York City run together with key local Ethereum ecosystem players and Nouns culminating in an ETHGlobal hackathon.
View the announcement here: https://x.com/ethereum_NYC/status/1945264023790084350
There are currently 2 key events:
To accelerate adoption by bringing institutions to Ethereum. Expect highly focused dialogue followed by curated networking opportunities. https://lu.ma/ozlqxrph
A gathering to align funding, research, and strategic focus across the Ethereum Ecosystem led by the Academic Secretariat. https://lu.ma/qgrlj5c9
However, it is missing an event focused on Ethereum’s apps and contextualizing them in Ethereum's cultural layer.
World of Apps ⌐◨-◨ fills that gap.
