Just like a skate crew flips the script at the park or an artist transforms the streets into a canvas, communities built around sports and art have a way of breaking through the noise. They're not just riding waves or nailing tricks, they’re rewriting the rules of culture. These collectives don’t wait for permission; they define new trends, push boundaries, and build spaces that are more inclusive, expressive, and radically human.

On April 12, 2025, the sculpture NOUNSTACLE 2.0 – NOGGLES DELTA, created by Pharrá Buarque (Tangente Skateparks), was officially unveiled. This piece is the second in a series forming an open-air skateable art gallery, blending skateboarding, art, and digital culture.
It was a true celebration of decentralized urban culture, where Gnars DAO once again showcased its impact by supporting creative, inclusive initiatives shaping the future of skateboarding worldwide.
With support from Gnars DAO, the event featured the “Tricks for Decks” challenge with Ionir Mera, the premiere of the video “Dissidente”, aerial footage by mauricionavaskt, music by djsaquax, and a Web3 onboarding campaign led by SkateHive.
One step at a time the nogglesrails and nounstacles are taking up space around the globe and generating nounish and positive impact on the sport. To more closely follow this construction, check our Maps with the latest projects. Check out a little more how was the launch event of this work of art.

The FarCon 2025 in New York, held from May 1st to 4th, was a landmark event for the Farcaster community and Web3 culture. With over a thousand participants, the event featured hackathons, lectures, and activations like the Haus of Nouns, OFFCHAIN NYC 2025 (organized by Higher), and the Offchain Skate Jam, blending skate and decentralized technology.
There was also a live broadcast highlighting digital and decentralized culture, reinforcing the connection between creators and developers. The event solidified FarCon as a hub for innovation and collaboration in the Web3 space.
Farcon plays a critical role in advancing onchain development within the Farcaster ecosystem, a decentralized social protocol often considered a "Layer 3" due to its composability and user-centric infrastructure layered on top of existing blockchains. The event brings together developers, builders, and protocol architects to collaborate, showcase innovations, and align on shared standards. It facilitates ecosystem interoperability, encourages modular app development, and reinforces the cultural and technical momentum behind Farcaster. By fostering in-person coordination and experimentation, Farcon strengthens the foundation for long-term, scalable onchain social systems.
Oh yeah, there really are many gnarly /nounish things created and improved daily or weekly, so we recommend you to follow our main accounts that report proposals and real-time achievements. So, check there on some amazing DAO developments within the above pillars.

Nounspace team wins Hackton that was executed during Farcon.
Last month, Lulu aka NekoFar, known as the King of GIFs, submitted and executed a special proposal with the support of the Lil Nouns partners. The idea? To add the iconic Gnars accessory as a new trait in the Lil Nouns collection.
The proposal was approved with 450 votes in favor and none against, reflecting not only strong consensus but also the growing synergy between the Nouns DAO subDAOs. The collaboration between Gnars and Lil Nouns is a clear example of how respect, creativity, and community spirit can translate into concrete and stylish actions.
More than just a visual integration, this move strengthens the bond between sibling projects, paving the way for even bolder collaborations in the future. Because in the on-chain world, those with style share it.

On May 6th at 11:00 PM, GAMI and the IMF team officially launched the IMF (Internet Monetary Fund) via livestream, introducing a powerful shift in how communities engage with capital onchain.
In crypto, the default action has always been to sell—whether to fund an idea, gain liquidity, or manage risk. But selling kills momentum, fragments communities, and drains value. IMF flips this narrative by offering an alternative: borrowing instead of selling.
The IMF isn’t a grant program or a yield farm. It’s a Community Coordinated Credit system, enabling token holders to unlock stable liquidity while staying long, and allowing stablecoin lenders to earn yield. Built on Uniswap, Morpho, and USDS, IMF is permissionless, immutable, and ready for action from day one.
For communities like Gnars, the IMF opens up new possibilities under the banner of Gnars CC:
Crypto Currency
Creative Commons
Credit Cartel
The mission? Grow the brand and funnel value directly back into the community coin. In this model, credit becomes a tool for alignment and momentum, not dilution. IMF helps communities wield credit with purpose. Because belief deserves capital and capital deserves coordination.
