We heard you. We are back :]
We are nouns.fe ✨ For those of you who are new members of the DAO, we are passionate marginalized competitors and contributors to the women's esports scene. Join us in our journey in trailblazing a path to the top, showing that the only thing that matters is turning dreams into goals, and working towards it. (+with the people you love!)
As a self-managed team competing in the top circuit for women in Counter-strike, we went down the rabbit hole through a Prop House round hosted by Esports. After discovering what it means to us to be 'Nounish', it felt only right to pursue the vision of building here with you all. We aim to keep changing the meta and crushing the ceilings of expectations of ourselves, both as players and ambassadors for Nouns ⌐◨-◨
— In May 2024, we passed Prop 552 !
Exploring the Nouniverse & repping the DAO for the past year+ has been a treat, and we've built a brand for fans to be proud of :)
We've had a busy and successful past year where we've accomplished many of our goals as competitors, ambassadors and governors. Check out what we've done below!
engaging with fans, being a positive presence, and reinforcing positive sentiment around nouns, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: supporting ⌐◨-◨ distribution!
With growing results and undeniable charm, nouns.fe isn’t just made of pixels— we're a driving force, spreading silly nounish vibes across gaming and esports, and changing sentiments of web3 and crypto for the better.
The past 8 months, we've also fleshed out many social channels on our own (during our busiest competitive seasons) including Twitter/x, Warpcast/FC, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and growing our community supporter discord to over 150 members.
Follow the TEAM too!:
Since our delegation of Noun 117 and 271, we have voted on a total of 74 proposals with 100% VWR rate!
During this time, our players (nounslunari.eth and jesscas.eth) have both joined Nouncil, participating in governance there as well.
Every week for the past year, we post a thread of the current proposals and vote on them as a team, and make efforts to understand the tech & culture ^~ ^

For: 5 | Against: 0 | Abstain: 0
The story continues...! Our goals for 2025 include:
Continuing to support us on the path we've paved the past year, means taking a twice-proven conviction bet on great public ambassadors of the DAO. We are also dedicated to increasing IRL presence this upcoming year, allowing us to earn valuable rank points, and engage with communities already familiar with crypto adjacent culture.
Coming into 2025, the stage has been set. North America has been dominated by ONE singular team since the dawn of its existence, and we are closing the gap every season - it is time to see the titans fall. For the first time in years, NA also has a second qualification slot to make it to finals, effectively making this year the most opportune yet.
The professional women's Counter-Strike circuit has been announced for 2025, sporting a new huge monetary incentive (up to $100k) for teams to create content, as incentive for growing the scene at every level.
Earning a spot at the Impact Finals will be one of our main goals for us as the new year unfolds, debuting worldwide as passionate fan-fave challengers for NA, and putting Nouns on the global scale for Women's Esports.
In response to feedback on our previous prop (715), we recognize that the journey to the top is a long path. We've reduced our salaries, and developed additional strategies paired with plans for decisive action to ensure we're able to do what we do for longer, while also allowing the DAO to fund other valuable subcommunities. Thus, (with helpful insight from amazing Nouners!) we have laid out specific goals for sustainability.
In 2025, our goal is to grow out a healthy supporter email list, socials, discord server, and double-down on what we've found the most success in during the past year of repping Nouns while compensated and uncompensated. Revenue streams include:
We will also be committing 50% of all future revenue/earnings to be stored in a multi-sig wallet, which we'll use to save up to buy a Noun (at auction).
Our goal is to acquire 1 Noun for nounsfe.eth, after which, future revenue will be used to make ourselves as sustainable as possible to relieve pressure on the treasury and complete the flywheel.
