The primer
Nouns is an infinite work of art and a headless brand on Ethereum. Lil Nouns is its smaller, faster sibling. Both are community owned, permissionless and built to spread.
OG01
One Noun is generated and auctioned every day, forever. All proceeds go to the Nouns treasury, and holders vote on proposals that fund ideas around the world. The artwork and code are CC0. Anyone can use, remix or build on them without permission.
LIL02
One Lil Noun is auctioned every fifteen minutes, forever. It is a generative avatar art collective run by crypto misfits, with its own treasury, proposals and a community that keeps the meme moving IRL. Same energy, smaller package.
The nouniverse dispatch
A curated rolling edit of projects, products and moments worth your attention, with Lil Nouns at the centre. Filter by what you are curious about, then follow the source.
We took a beloved internet native motif and gave it the weight of real cloth. Bold graphics, considered cuts, nothing wasted. Every piece also carries a digital twin.
Generative pixel art leaves the screen and becomes wearable, 3D printed cloth. A clear signal that Nounish culture can live on the body, not just the blockchain.
Explore Nouns
A community built watch that puts the Nouns glasses on your wrist. Small object, big meme energy, exactly the kind of IRL proliferation Nouns was built for.
Explore Nouns
The Nouns glasses are already a logo, a filter and a way of seeing. Bigshot Noggles turns them into a real object you can put on your face.
Explore Nouns
A deli funded by the nouniverse, built around feeding a neighbourhood and making a public good feel warm, daily and delicious.
Explore Nouns
The meme went mainstream: a Nouns collaboration with Bud Light during the Super Bowl, putting CC0 culture in front of an audience of millions.
Explore Nouns
Nouns proposals are not only for screens and merch. This one helped build a school, a reminder that a meme can be a public good with a roof and a classroom.
Explore Nouns
A public park transformed with Nouns funding: benches, an entrance and a giant pair of Noggles. Public space, a little more playful.
Explore Nouns
A glass frog was named Hyalinobatrachium nouns after a Nouns proposal funded the research. Yes, really. The meme is now in the taxonomy.
Explore Nouns
A Nouns funded animation series about a crew of Nounish friends. Bright colours, big personalities and a very good excuse to press play.
Explore Nouns
Every Lil Nouns piece leaves the studio twice: once as cloth you can wear, once as a digital twin that carries the artwork, provenance and story.
Vibes & Styles
A festival for the people who proliferate the meme: artists, animators, developers and organisers sharing what they made with the treasury.
