Boba Epicure wrote this piece for the Stanford Blockchain Review exploring Nouns DAO’s potential to bring forth a new cyber civil society through the dual mandate of promoting both the principle of democratic governance and meaningful decentralization by leveraging the self-actualizing power of iconography. For the author, NFTs are a new digital primitive that allows for the easy bootstrapping of ideologically aligned social networks. The Nouns DAO is one such network. As such, the Nouns Project is a testament to the adage that beauty lies in simplicity. This is a great piece exploring a novel lens through which Nouns and other tokenized communities can be viewed, and the potential for digital civil society.
