Nouns DAO · interactive mechanism simulation

One Noun mints and auctions every 24 hours, forever. Proceeds flow into an on-chain treasury; Noun holders (one Noun = one vote) approve proposals that spend it; a 20% escrow threshold lets a minority "fork" the DAO and exit with their pro-rata share.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults mirror the researched Nouns DAO mechanism (daily English auction, 100% proceeds to treasury, every-10th-Noun founder reward, one-Noun-one-vote governance, 20% fork/ragequit threshold echoing the September 2023 event), but bid sizes, proposal cadence, and timing are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. Drag the sliders or trigger the fork to explore how the flywheel responds. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
